Ep. 11 Identity Crisis: "Who Am I Without Dieting?"

If you have ever been known as the "disciplined" one or the "picture of health," letting go of weight control can feel like a death. In this episode, Kristina Bruce breaks down the identity crisis that follows when we stop performing health for others and the surprising freedom waiting on the other side.

In this episode, Kristina discusses:

• How health behaviors subtly transform into a moral self-concept.
• The "Dark Tunnel" of body peace and what waits on the other side
• Why letting go of dieting can feel like an existential threat to your safety.
• How to reconnect with your "is-ness"—the part of you that has inherent value simply because you exist.
• The difference between the roles we play and the pure awareness of who we actually are.
