Lesley Sackey is Fighting Forward
from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue
After leaving an abusive relationship, former GB Boxer turned entrepreneur Lesley Sackey found herself living in survival mode – until she realised some of the lessons she’d learned in the ring could prove useful in life. She went on to co-found Fight Forward, an initiative helping women to empower themselves after experiencing abuse, as well as the forthcoming AI-integrated platform Pillow, which aims to help women move forward after trauma. Jen catches up with Lesley to talk about her career in boxing, how her own experiences of abuse informed Fight Forward, and why boxing can help women recover after trauma.
