Roll With The Punches

Against All Odds | Lisa Saygun - 363


Listen Later

If you asked me who Lisa Saygun was before this chat, I'd have told you she's one of Australia's best female body builders. I'd have told you she's got over two decades of industry experience, 51 competitions and an impressive resume of qualifications around physical and psychological coaching for competition and stage prep. I'd have told you if you wanted to step on stage or get in shape, then she's definitely the woman you want in your corner.
But then we had this chat... And I realised that Lisa Saygun was the woman who took whatever somewhat dismal odds life threw at her and succeeded anyway. From being homeless after losing her beloved nonna at 16 (the only family member who cared and provided for Lisa), being hospitalised with anorexia, healing generational trauma and family mental health concerns and if overcoming all that wasn't enough, Lisa then had a son who was born with a heart condition and give a 1% chance of survival. Yeah, you read that right, I didn't drop a digit... 1%. He's still going strong at 6 years old btw, but we talk about what it's like to live with the life of the person you love the most hanging on tenterhooks. 
This is the first time Lisa has shared her entire story publicly.. and all I can say is wow. When the chips are down, this is the episode I'll come back to listen to.
