55. My partner said they're not attracted to me since I've gained weight.

The Body Grievers® Club

In this episode Bri + Jana explore how they would coach someone through the hurdle of a partner telling them they don't find them attractive since their weight gain.
Bri + Jana believe that our partners attraction to us is NOT our responsibility + says MORE about their views on bodies and what's going on with them. But they also hold space for the discomfort and grief accompanied with these sentiments.
In this episode they will discuss:
- how the patriarchy and male gaze impacts our view of beauty and attraction as well as the conditioning of media
- some thought strategies around how to explore your partners feedback without taking it personally
- tough questions you need consider about what you desire + value in relationships
Take the Harvard Bias Test here.
If you are struggling with the grief of gaining weight, we would love to support your inside the Body Grievers Community. ⁠
