Episode 1 - Welcome to AWAKEN: The Beginning of a New Conversation

Welcome to AWAKEN: The Beginning of a New Conversation 🎙️ Welcome to the very first episode of AWAKEN with Louisa Sammartino - a space for real conversations about HEALTH | WEALTH | FREEDOM and what it means to build a stronger body, create a healthier life and step into your next chapter with greater confidence. I’m Louisa Sammartino - Exercise Physiologist, Exercise Scientist and Nutritionist and after more than 18 years working in health, exercise and rehabilitation, I’ve come to believe that our health is about so much more than exercise and nutrition alone. In this first episode, I’m sharing why I created AWAKEN, a little about my own journey and why I believe this stage of a woman’s life can be the beginning of something incredibly powerful. We talk about the changes many women begin noticing through their late 30's, 40's and beyond - changes in energy, sleep, body composition, exercise response and recovery and why the answer isn’t always to eat less, exercise more and try harder. But AWAKEN goes beyond physical health. We’ll explore hormones, metabolism, muscle, strength, nutrition, stress, sleep and recovery alongside confidence, identity, purpose, self-trust, wealth, possibility and freedom. Because this chapter isn’t about getting back to the woman you used to be. It’s about awakening to the woman you’re becoming. In this episode: • Why I finally created AWAKEN • My journey through 18+ years in health and exercise • Why women’s bodies can begin responding differently • Why trying harder isn’t always the answer • Strength, health and longevity beyond the scales • Why wealth and freedom belong in the wellbeing conversation • What you can expect from future episodes • The question I want every woman to start asking herself Your AWAKEN question: What are YOU awakening to in this season of your life? Your health? Your strength? Your confidence? Your purpose? Your financial freedom? Or perhaps something you haven’t discovered yet? 🎧 LISTEN TO AWAKEN 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1QM4jHO... ▶️ YouTube: You’re already here subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode.
