درباره این اپیزود
Louisa is a powerhouse of positivity and energy, she helps busy women transform their health while having fun, and without overwhelming restrictions. Dawn has had the pleasure of coaching Louisa through her journey to finding freedom from societal expectations and living authentically. As a child, she focused on pleasing others and meeting their expectations. Over time, she realised this was not authentic to who she was.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Freedom for Louisa is feeling alive, present in her space and body, unbound by societal expectations. It's rejecting others' standards, avoiding the future's grip, and embracing the essence of now—immersing herself in the present, in her being, and her space.
- Louisa helps clients get to the root cause of their weight and body image struggles, which often stem from emotional reasons like seeking love or hiding from feeling unattractive. She digs deeper with clients to understand the underlying beliefs and experiences driving their behaviours. This enables her to create customised plans that address core issues rather than just surface level actions.
- Louisa emphasises making small, sustainable changes rather than extreme, short-lived diets. She meets clients where they are instead of prescribing rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions. For example, she may suggest incorporating a vegetable at each meal or taking a walk rather than immediately adopting an intense workout regimen. This individualised approach leads to longer-lasting change.
- As a coach, Louisa aims to be a supportive cheerleader celebrating wins and working through challenges as a team. She partners with clients on their health journey rather than dictating steps. This collaborative dynamic and accountability helps motivate clients to do the work themselves to transform their health.
