Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram – As I reflect on this year – I think .. WOAH a LOT has happened.
I started the year off with quite low self esteem, a single mother, full of unresolved grief who felt she carried a tonne of “baggage” . Just living day to day in survival mode.
Then I got back into serious training and worked my ass off, my confidence began to grow and I travelled to Brisbane to compete in Her Roar – coming 2nd to one of the best athletes Australia has.
Started my own business.
My health has been up and down the past few years but this year things really ramped up. A trip to ED post a very scary event that ended up changing my life forever.
A quick dash to Scotland to scatter half of my beautiful mums ashes.
2 weeks later – into hospital to have a significant operation to save my life, which ironically almost cost me my life.
Recovery began – ups and downs, lows and highs, back and fourth not knowing what was going to happen.
Back into nursing, which I didn’t realise how much I missed.
Finally being able to lay the rest of my mum’s ashes to rest to have a place to “visit” her
With soooooo much in between.
I end this year as a PROUD single mum, with a high paying nursing job (no more financial stress) an unreal mindset towards life – my motto YOLO is in full swing. This year has taught me SO much. I am grateful to be here, I am grateful for my beautiful daughter Mackenzie who has been my driving force to keep going, I am grateful for the special people I have in my life. I am grateful for the resilience I have to be able to get through the past few years.
I have worked so damn hard, consistently worked so damn hard to get where I am. I can breathe easier, I feel lighter, I can proudly say… I’ve survived it.
Who knows what’s in store for 2023, but you can bet I’m gonna hit the ground running and live life to the Max. | Posted on 23/Dec/2022 04:46:37
