Something happens when you finally give yourself space. The noise settles, the clarity arrives and you start to remember who you are.

In this episode, we share what we've witnessed across seven retreats and why the people who show up always say the same thing afterwards.

From men finding calm they hadn't felt in years to women saying they trusted themselves and each other again, what unfolds in these spaces is something that stays with you long after you leave.

And this is exactly why retreats exist. Because sometimes you can't create that space on your own and having somewhere to go, where everything is held for you, makes all the difference.

The average woman puts over 200 chemicals on her body before she leaves the house in the morning. Men are carrying a chemical load too, through the aftershave, the deodorant and the synthetic underwear worn all day.

Most of us don't think twice about what's in the products we use every day. The washing liquid, the deodorant, the candles and what we cook with. We just buy what we've always bought without a second thought.

Today, we're sharing the practical ways we've started making changes in our home and heading towards a more holistic and low-tox life. The swaps we've made room by room, product by product, over the last decade or so. The kitchen, the laundry, the bathroom, the bedroom and the things we put in and on our bodies every day.

We also touch on kinesiology, cycle planning and human design and why these have been just as important to us as making changes in our home.

If you've ever known something wasn't right with your health but couldn't get anyone to listen, you're going to relate to a lot of what we share today.

Today, we're sharing our health stories, the full version, from the beginning. Two very different journeys that shaped everything we do today. Body image, hormonal imbalances, steroids, burnout, fatigue, gut issues and years of sitting across from practitioners being told everything was normal when nothing about how we felt was normal.

Between the two of us, there were some wrong turns, a lot of money spent and some results that we couldn't ignore.

We're sharing our lived experiences in the hope that it helps you trust your gut instincts and keep searching for the answers you deserve.

We're not done with this conversation, not by a long way. But this is where it starts.

Across both of our businesses, we work with a lot of passionate, driven people. And for so many of them, especially when they first come to us, the feeling is the same.

Overwhelmed, trapped inside the day-to-day, producing work for clients but never quite getting ahead. The team energy is off, the leadership feels hard and the growth they want keeps getting pushed back because there's just no breathing room.

The work itself was never the problem. It's everything that's been left to crumble around it because the foundations were never really put in place. In this episode, we're talking about exactly those gaps and how they're stopping real growth inside businesses and teams.

We talk about what happens when the doing takes over and the business side gets left behind, why so many leaders are worn out trying to keep their teams going and what's actually going on when the energy and culture in a team starts to drop. We also get into something we see a lot, the resistance to asking for help, and why having someone look honestly at your foundations is so often the thing that finally shifts things.

If you're building a business or leading a team and it feels harder than it should right now, this one's for you. It'll help you work out what's getting in the way and where to start.

Burnt out, overwhelmed and not entirely sure why? Most conversations about burnout stop at the surface. Too much on your plate, not enough sleep, overcommitted and under-rested. All true. But in our experience, that's rarely where the real answer lives.

Today, we go a lot deeper than that. We get into the root cause that actually sits underneath the exhaustion, the things we've both had to look at honestly in our own lives and the patterns we keep seeing come up again and again. It's a conversation we've wanted to have for a while and we think it's going to hit close to home.

We talk about the fear of judgment that's quietly driving more decisions than most of us want to admit, the identity piece that sits underneath so much of it and the one question nobody asked us growing up that changes everything. There's also something we cover that doesn't get talked about nearly enough and it might be the most important part of all.

If you've been pushing through and wondering why nothing's shifting, this one's for you.

Welcome to episode one of Built to Last.

We're Adrian and Kate Addamo, husband and wife, holistic performance coach and business mentor and two people who've spent a lot of years figuring out a different way to live and work. In this first episode, we're sharing the story behind Built to Last, how the name came about, what brought us both here and why we decided to do this together.

We've both experienced burnout, identity shifts and a lot of unlearning. We've questioned things most people don't give themselves permission to question and we've rebuilt from the ground up in more ways than one, in our health, our home, our relationship and our businesses. This podcast is where we share what that's actually looked like and how you can start bringing that into your own life too.

In Kate's work with women, she's seeing it more than ever. Women are carrying the mental load, building businesses, managing households and holding everyone else together, all while quietly losing themselves in the process. Women who have spent so long people-pleasing and shrinking themselves that they've completely disconnected from what they actually want.

Adrian is seeing the other side of that. Men who are doing everything they were told would bring fulfilment, working hard, providing, succeeding and getting there, only to find that something still feels missing. Men who want to show up as better leaders, better husbands, better fathers, but haven't yet found the tools or the space to look honestly at how they're living.

This podcast isn't about the shoulds. It's an honest conversation about health, the way we live and the businesses we're building. The kind of conversation that stays with you and actually shifts something. You don't have to have it figured out to be here. You just have to be open to a different way.

It's time to build something intentional that lasts.

Before the first episode drops, we wanted to introduce ourselves.

We're Adrian and Kate Addamo, husband and wife, business mentor and holistic performance coach. Between the two of us, we've worked with hundreds of men and women in one-on-one settings and we keep hearing the same thing. Life looks fine on the outside but something underneath doesn't add up. The blueprint most of us inherited isn't delivering on its promises and quietly, more people are starting to feel it.

That's the conversation this podcast is built around. Business, health, relationships and home. No quick fixes, no surface-level advice. Just grounded, foundational conversations about what it actually takes to build a business and life on your own terms.

First episode drops soon. Hit follow so you don't miss it!
