Have you ever feared that if you gain weight, you'll no longer be wanted?

In this episode of Unlearning Beautiful, Body Peace Coach Kristina Bruce explores the fear of weight gain in relationships and why "looking the part" isn't the insurance policy we think it is.

We dive into the "social currency" of attractiveness, the "Trophy Wife" trope, and how to find a sense of worth that isn't dependent on being "selected" by a partner.

Key topics covered in this episode:

• The Trophy Wife Trope: Why we view beauty as a status symbol in dating.
• Lessons from Love Is Blind: A breakdown of the CrossFit comment and what it reveals about relationship insecurity.
• Navigating Body Changes: What happens when a partner isn’t attracted anymore?
• The Cost of "Smallness": Kristina’s personal story of how weight suppression harmed her relationship.
• Body Neutrality & Security: Reclaiming safety within yourself so you can stop fixating on body control.
