#166 - Triumph Over Trauma with Lesley Sackey

Wendy K Laidlaw interviews Lesley Saki – British boxing champion, Olympic contender, and visionary Founder of Fight Forward, a trailblazing social impact enterprise dedicated to supporting and empowering women who are recovering from trauma and domestic abuse.

In this powerful and inspiring conversation, Leslie opens up about her remarkable journey—from achieving a gold medal in the boxing ring to navigating and ultimately overcoming personal experiences of domestic abuse. She shares how her love for boxing not only became a lifeline for her own healing but also evolved into a mission to help other women rediscover their strength, both physically and emotionally.

Lesley also introduces Pillow, her groundbreaking AI-integrated tech platform designed to offer accessible, personalised support for survivors. With heartfelt clarity, she explains how technology, education, and community can combine to break cycles of mistreatment and trauma - one day at a time.

Throughout the interview, Lesley underscores the importance of recognising the many forms abuse can take and encourages women to document their stories, educate themselves, and tap into the healing power of shared experience.

This is a must-listen episode for women who are passionate about resilience, innovation, and the rising wave of empowered women who are reclaiming their voices, bodies and lives.

Why boxing?

Boxing teaches women how to stand tall, move with confidence, and own their power. For many women who have faced abuse, trauma can leave a disconnect from their bodies. Boxing is a powerful tool for rebuilding that connection and taking back control.
