Leigh

Writer and Mother in Johannesburg, South Africa

Hi I'm Leigh. I just met the internet. I am a rehabilitative pilates instructor in real life and am a writer at heart. I studied - have a post grad in English - to be a journalist and worked in the industry in publishing, PR and finally advertising, which killed my soul. Dead. I reinvented myself by following my passion - pilates - which allowed me the freedom to become a mom twice over and leave my husband. That was fun. During lockdown I opened my own studio and now have capacity to think and write. I have grown into my voice which is a candid conversation about things that I'm facing like perimenopause and addiction. Divorce and co-parenting. Dating and travelling (pandemic permitted). I write from my heart which is full of hilarity and cussing. I look forward to making you laugh.
