Unlearning Beautiful
For most of us, “beautiful” has meant thin, youthful, glowing, and effortlessly put-together — a look we’ve been taught to believe makes us valuable and worthy.
But what if beautiful isn’t about being thin or looking young — but a feeling you experience inside, and already are?
Unlearning Beautiful is for women who are tired of worrying about their jean size, fighting the signs of aging, or trying to get everything “right” in the name of health — and are ready to feel genuinely well, at ease, and beautiful from the inside out.
Through honest reflections, practical wisdom, and gentle guidance, host and certified coach Kristina Bruce helps you heal your relationship with your body, release appearance-based pressure, and reconnect to the deeper sense of worth that’s always been within you.
Because the freedom you’re craving was never in how you look.
Kristina Bruce is a Certified Change Coach with training in yoga and meditation, and education in health studies and sociology. With extensive experience in belief work and self-development practices, she works with clients around the world through 1:1 coaching for deep inner transformation, helping women release body insecurity and reconnect with their deepest inner wisdom through compassionate, practical guidance.

Ep 2. Why You Stress Eat (And 3 Ways to Break the Cycle Without Willpower)
Stress eating isn’t about discipline. It’s an understandable response from a stressed-out nervous system — and a deeper signal from your beliefs, emotions, and unmet needs. In this episode, Kristina breaks down:
- Why emotional eating shows up, even when you “know better”
- How hidden dieting and subtle restriction trigger stress eating
- Why food becomes a coping tool (and why that’s normal)
- The role exhaustion and anxiety play in overeating
- The deeper beliefs that quietly fuel the stress-eating cycle
- Three powerful practices to calm your system and change the pattern
— without willpower, control, or shame
This episode will help you understand what’s really going on underneath emotional eating, and how to create change from a place of compassion and awareness — not force.
