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 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.
