    Ep 4. Why Body Goals Don’t Make You Happy

    Achieving your goal weight can feel empowering, but why does the confidence fade so quickly? In this episode of Unlearning Beautiful, Kristina Bruce explores why body goals don’t create lasting happiness and how the pursuit of thinness, health, or appearance often becomes a form of productive avoidance—keeping us focused on what’s measurable instead of what’s meaningful. You’ll hear: • Why confidence based on appearance is conditional • How body goals become tied to worth, safety, and belonging • The difference between external validation and internal peace • Questions to help you uncover what you truly want • Journal prompts to support self-discovery and alignment This episode is for women who feel tired of letting their body define their value—and are ready to listen to a deeper calling from within.   ✨ Get personalized support by booking an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.kristinabruce.com/private-coaching ✨ Get the free Body Peace Video Series — your first step to feeling free in your body: www.kristinabruce.com/bodypeace ✨ Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/kristinabrucecoach ✨ Learn more about my work: https://www.kristinabruce.com This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice.

    If diets created self-love, I would have loved myself a long time ago. After trying 25 different weight-loss plans, I kept discovering the same truth: no amount of weight loss could change the way I felt about myself. Because self-love doesn’t come from changing your appearance — it comes from changing your relationship with yourself. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why weight-loss “success” feels so intoxicatingHow conditional love shapes our body beliefsThe fears that make letting go of dieting feel unsafeThe emotional cost of constantly managing your appearanceWhat actually created self-love and inner trustIf you’re tired of chasing a body you think you need in order to feel okay, this episode will show you a different path — one rooted in unconditional self-love, not self-fixing. ✨ Get the free Body Peace Video Series — your first step to feeling free in your body: http://www.kristinabruce.com/bodypeace ✨ Get personalized support by booking an Introductory Coaching Session: https://www.kristinabruce.com/private-coaching ✨ Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/kristinabrucecoach ✨ Learn more about my work: https://www.kristinabruce.com This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice.

    Ep 1. When Weight Loss Didn’t Make Me Happy: How I Found Body Peace Instead

    We’re told that once we finally have the body, everything will fall into place — confidence, happiness, ease in our own skin. But what if the body you’re chasing is actually pulling you further away from the life you really want? In this first episode of Unlearning Beautiful, I share my personal story: growing up in a culture and family fixated on weight, finally becoming the “ideal” thin woman everyone praised, and realizing that the more I tried to control my body, the more stressed and unhappy I became. I talk about the moment I broke down in tears on my bedroom floor, decided I couldn’t live like that anymore, and began the scary, messy process of letting go of dieting. In this episode, I walk you through: How early comments about your body (and others’) can become “truths” about your worthWhat happens when health and wellness become socially acceptable forms of body obsessionThe “chaos phase” of letting go of restriction — and why it’s actually a bridge to real peaceHow intuitive eating, Health at Every Size®, and questioning painful beliefs helped me rebuild trust with myselfWhat life feels like now, on the other side of dieting and body obsessionIf you see yourself in this story — if you’ve spent years chasing a smaller body and still don’t feel free — this episode is for you.
