Letting Go of Control to Find Your Inner Wisdom With Kristina Bruce
Beyond Beauty Project: The PodcastShow Notes
Kristina Bruce is a certified Change Coach who specializes in helping women feel good in their bodies. She guides women to recognize and trust their Inner Wisdom so they can live in a way that is authentic and empowering. She does this through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and courses at kristinabruce.com. Kristina shares her personal journey, which led her to today's work of worthiness and Inner Wisdom. She shares her experience about the societal pressures to "stay small" and the impact of generational conditioning on body image.
As she expanded her self-development path, Kristina began to question these deeply ingrained beliefs; she recognized the historical roots of body image issues and the conditioning passed down by society. Through inner work and accessing her own inner guidance, she started to distinguish the conditioned mind from her true self. She challenges societal conditioning and external validation, encouraging listeners to let go of control, embrace change, and live authentically. Bridgett and Kristina dive into the barriers to body acceptance and the journey toward true freedom, exploring how we can rewire our beliefs and tune into our Inner Wisdom.

Give yourself permission to own all pieces of yourself, to become your authentic self.
Solitude isn’t always isolation—it can be where healing begins. Bridgett is joined by Jesse Cody, founder of Hike The Good Hike, a nonprofit he created to help people reconnect with nature as a modality for mental health. After years of struggling with trauma, depression, and suicidal ideation, Jesse turned to the outdoors—a choice that led him to walk over 16,000 miles across the U.S. and fueled his mission to advocate for mental wellness. His personal healing journey sparked a deep passion for men’s mental health and his belief that telling your story can be the spark that ignites someone else’s.
In this deep conversation, Judd Shaw joins Bridgett to share his path from chasing external validation to confronting his inner struggles and the importance of emotional regulation.
In this week's episode, Bridgett speaks with Danni Adams—CO-CREATOR of the Institute for Body Image Coaching, speaker, and advocate for fat Black women—to unpack the deep connections between beauty standards, race, social justice, and self-worth. From navigating microaggressions to confronting healthcare bias, Danni shares her journey of reimagining beauty and building community. They discuss how historical narratives still shape body image today, the influence of social media on youth, and why representation is critical for healing and growth. Bridgett and Danni’s conversation reminds us that self-love isn’t linear—it’s an act of resistance, presence, and power.
The idea of self-care has been reshaped—and not for the better. What once centered on restoration and reconnection has become a billion-dollar industry driven by marketing and societal pressures, pulling us away from our true needs and lowering self-esteem, mental health, and emotional resilience.
