Kristina Bruce, Certified Integrative Life Coach and Body Trust® Provider is our guest today for the first of a two-part episode! Today, we’re digging deep into how our identity can be tangled up in weight suppression, the fear that happens when we don’t maintain weight loss, and grieving the “thin” body we want or had.
As a Certified Integrative Life Coach and Body Trust® Provider, Kristina specializes in helping women break free from dieting and negative body image. Calling upon her education in health studies, sociology, yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry methodologies, Kristina works one-on-one with women to help them develop a positive relationship with themselves so they can live empowering and fulfilled lives, in the bodies that they have.

On Today’s episode we’re chatting about:
- Body acceptance and body neutrality during pregnancy
- The fear of what will happen if you don’t maintain weight loss, or if you don’t continue to pursue weight loss
- When your identity becomes intertwined with your body size
- What weight/size your body wants to be vs. what you think your ideal weight and body size ‘should’ be based on BMI, diet culture, etc.
- Weight suppression & the indicators that your body wants to be bigger than it is right now
