Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 3 weeks ago I underwent some pretty brutal surgery, surgery that I knew was risky but had to be done. I went to sleep after being told they would have to remove my left kidney, spleen, left ovary, part of my bowel, the 1kg liposarcoma and I'd have a "chemo washout" . I was so scared. It is so daunting being on your own and being faced with this. I also had an epidural prior to being sedated which brought back horrible memories of my birth but the team made me as comfortable as possible and gave me alot of reassurance which helped me in so many ways. . . I was extubated early as the surgery went well and I'm "fit and healthy" , the tumor was removed much easier than anticipated and they managed to keep the majority of my organs. I woke up with drips and drains coming out of everywhere - Arterial lines, central line, indwelling catheter, 2 abdominal drains, nasogastric tube, 3 intravenous cannulas, TPN, epidural infusion, and an oxycodone PCA. . . The next day, I had a cardiac arrest requiring CPR - I came round to a busy room full of medical staff racing around, working hard. I was told I would need a temporary pacing wire and the possibility of a pacemaker being inserted. After discussions with the cardiologist- they wanted to monitor me but attached to the defibrillator, an echocardiogram showed I have a bicuspid aortic valve with regurgitation (something I wasn't aware of). . . After 5 or 6 days in ICU I was finally moved to the ward - a few days in I developed an acute onset of new pain - I'd rather have back to back births than this pain again - I had an urgent CT at midnight to show I had pancreatitis. I was started on a continuous ketamine infusion which unfortunately made me hallucinate and I became agitated - that was stopped within 24hrs. After a couple of days things started to settle. Day by day, more drips and drains were being removed. I was in bed for 12 days so mobilising feels very weird and wobbly. . . This has certainly changed me - physically and mentally. I'll grow from this, I know it - but first I need to focus on getting my independence back and allowing myself to heal.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Life... what a crazy thing huh?! . . 4 years ago, I was the first woman to be awarded a full lift of the famous dinnie stones - making history, an amazing day filled with the best emotions. . . Since then - it's been a battle - pregnancy, marriage breakdown, single motherhood, unemployment, death of my mum, family dramas, legal dramas, financial dramas. It's been a tough slog at times but I've managed to grind through the rough parts and make a stable life for Mackenzie and I. . . But, my biggest battle is right now, I almost lost my life last week after my heart stopped. I'm currently fighting Sarcoma and have had a 1kg cancerous mass removed aswell as part of my bowel with a few complications along the way.THIS has been a major challenge for me because my life is in other people's hands, I struggle not being independent, I struggle ALOT. . . I've had a couple of really tough days in hospital and today is one of them - I'm in a shit tonne of pain and I got to see my wound for the first time - as superficial as it sounds - it's decreased my self esteem big time - it's massive and ugly looking. I know with time it will settle and I should "feel lucky" that we caught this in time and I still have my life but it doesn't take away the emotions that I feel today. . . I'm glad I've developed resilience over the years of hardship, I feel its helping me get through this right now. I miss my daughter beyond words but each day that goes by is another day closer to being back home with her. I could write some bullshit about only looking at the positives 100% of the time and being mentally rocksolid but that would be a lie - to me showing strength is showing EVERYTHING, showing the ability to feel all emotions and admitting that sometimes things are just a big giant bag of dicks. . . I'm here, I'm fighting and I'm just having a shit day, which is ok. #fuckcancer #igotthis #keepfightingthegoodfight
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 10 weeks post surgery. Getting to know my new body image has been one of the hardest pills to swallow. In most of my training videos I wear a sports bra - this is part of scar exposure therapy. I've been so incredibly self conscious about it and at times felt really down BUT I'm getting there... slowly. This wasn't by my own doing, I can't change it but I can move forward and hopefully get to a point where I feel proud that I survived all I have. I'll keep putting in the hard yards and whatever the future holds, I'll just keep fighting !
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - ⚠️SENSITIVE CONTENT WARNING - PLEASE DO NOT SWIPE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE SURGERY PICTURES DURING OPERATION ⚠️ The peritonectomy team at St George Hospital did an amazing job of removing this mass, it was entwined with my bowel and attached to my kidney and abdominal wall. So thankful for Professor Morris and all his hard working team ❤️. It's amazing what medical professionals can do and it's amazing what the human body can endure. EDIT ⚠️ - Slide 1 & 2 show the tissue wrapping around the bowel and kidney. The last slide shows the mass on the right side - that big 1kg of cancer is NOT supposed to be there. #surgery #bowelresection #postoprecovery #peritonectomy #feelinggrateful #strongwoman #humanbody #medical #sensitivecontent  #rebuildbyleigh #resilience

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - We get tested throughout life, it's up to us how we react to it. Just.. keep.. at.. it.. Through the good days, through the bad days and through the soul destroying days. ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - A gentle reminder to never judge a book by it's cover You could look at this photo and think wow she's doing really well, out walking, back doing rehab/exercise. I've had alot of messages from people saying - "you're strong this will be easy" . "Look what you've done in life this is nothing " I can tell you right now.. THIS IS NOT EASY The past week I've struggled. I've had an internal battle to get out of bed, to shower, to get changed, to think "positive" For someone that is so active and lives a rather chaotic lifestyle, having everything stripped away and being in a small apartment totally alone... is tough. I'm normally a busy single mum, juggling all sorts. I've normally always got a list of stuff that needs to be done, washing, housework, cooking, training.. but now I have nothing. While most parents would be like "praise the lorddddd, I get a break" , I've not felt that way, I enjoy being productive, I enjoy being active, I honestly love being a mum. I don't enjoy sitting around watching t.v, I don't like being stationary. So what's changed over the past 2 days ? I woke up and said to myself, no one is going to change this for me, no one is going to come save me and encourage me to get out of bed, to shower me, to dress me. I had two options, I ignore my insight to see my mental health is declining and end up in a really bad place OR I get up, I create a routine, I  tell myself " It is hard RIGHT NOW but it's not always going to be this way" . I am no pushover and that's came from overcoming constant challenges, I have firm boundaries and that's came from constant heartbreak. I have been through way to much in life to allow this to bring me down. This Wednesday I find out if I need chemotherapy, and whatever the outcome, I will keep fighting. Why have I posted this ? Because I want to be real, I want people to see that everyone struggles at times and it doesn't mean we are weak, in fact - and I say this all the time now  - true strength is being real and showing your highest highs but also your lowest lows. I won't be another "highlight reel" instagram account. Cont. Below

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - It was an an emotional weekend down in Sydney… Being a carer for my mum who’s terminally ill with cancer was exhausting, but I’ve never forgotten about my dear friend @leigh.hollandkeen who lost hers 🥹💔🕊️ Susan Holland-Keen was one of the OG strongwomen in Australia.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Forever grateful for having the biggest reason to keep fighting ❤️. #unconditionallove #motherdaughter
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 1 year post the most intense time of my life. What a journey! So grateful to be here and to be living life ✌️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - I still find it a little frustrating that I've had to start all over again. It's been brick by boring brick for a while now, but today I reflected on how far I've truly come. 5 months ago, I couldn't stand up straight, still struggled to shower myself and getting out of bed was such a challenge - both physically and mentally.  Sometimes you just need to stop and appreciate the journey you're on and be proud of what you've achieved so far . #instagram #rebuild #fitness #strongwoman #recovery #mindset
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - This journey isn't over, but it's been one hell of ride so far. Give me a challenge and I'll over come it, riding the highs and lows, I'll always put 100% into it. #rebuildbyleigh #recovery #liposarcoma #resilience #insta #reels #postoprecovery #weallfaceourownbattles #challenge #strength #strongwoman #onestepatatime #igotthis #cardiacarrest #notmytime #pickedthewrongperson
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - The famous Dinnie Stones ❤️ . It felt special to go back just before my surgery and revisit the place where history was made - I truly feel like it gave me strength. My connection to my homeland will forever be strong 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Mark my words - one day I'll be back to lift them again. #dinniestones #Scotland #potarch #donalddinnie #strength #connection #culture #wheremyheartbelongs
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - . . I've been through some pretty wild stuff lately, a whole range of emotions from "come on, just give me a friggin break" to my final conclusion of "It is what it is" . . . Things are going to happen in life that are out of your control - it's shit, but that's life. Time is still going to tick by, the sun is still going to continue to rise. My life isn't bad, YES, bad things have happened but that's not my whole life. I have ALOT to be grateful for and I will continue to keep moving forward, I am still so determined to reach my goals and I 100% will. I will continue to grow through what I go through🌻

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Last day of being 34. It's been another interesting year. It's been a year of physical recovery and adjusting to all the major things that's happened over the past 2 years. I've laughed, I've cried, I've felt loved and I've felt lonely. Life is one crazy journey and I'm incredibly grateful to have made it through some seriously tough times. Who knows what's in store for the next year but whatever it is ... I'm here for it !

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Woo hoo qualified for NSW states. I had a plan and with my coach @scotty_bossman we executed it well. I was so happy to do what I needed to do but I was more happy to be welcomed back to my sport with open arms. I felt the love and it's made me feel soooo good !! Thank you to EVERYONE who came to support me. I appreciate you all so much ❤️. @teampowerelite @citystrength @ptcmacarthur @sbdapparel @iamherculeswoman #strongwoman #teampowerelite #ptcmacarthur #imbackbaby #postsurgery #strength #instagram #strongmannsw
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 🌻 THIRTY FOUR 🌻 When did time speed up?! 😅 Another year down, and PLENTY of "experiences" in the past 365 days. Each year that I grow older, I appreciate life more, I appreciate the people in my life more and I find myself more. I'm all about growing, the past 3 years have been fairly dog shit for me, I've definitely had more challenges than good times but I'm actually proud of myself for surviving this shitstorm both mentally and physically. Thanks to everyone that's been on this journey with me and provided support ❤️ Here's to good times and happiness ahead ! P.s Is it acceptable to become a cougar now ? 😂😂
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Returning to the gym - a REALLY difficult thing to do. My first session I couldn't even hold the bar in the squatting position, anything overhead (pushing/pulling) was a no go due to pain. I'm learning what my body can and can't do right NOW - it's all about adapting.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 🎄 Merry Christmas to you all 🎄 - lots of love from Leigh & Macca ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Full transparency about this one. This has by far been my hardest "festive session" ever. Co parenting has been hard. The overwhelming grief for my mum has been hard . Not having family around has been hard. Christmas has always been a huge tradition within my family, the laughs, the food, the memories made . Having all that stripped away has been the toughest thing to overcome. I've felt the lowest I've probably ever felt over the past month, it's been absolute dogshit . I've been waiting for my "get up and go" to kick in but it took way longer than I expected, then I realised - I need to sit with these emotions, I need to feel them and I need to work out what to do with them. Life has really changed for me and it's OK to feel sad about it . I had a random chat with a guy who was all dishevelled drinking VB at 10am - I started up a conversation with him and he told me how Christmas is really hard for him as he lost his dad the year before and he never got to meet his first born son - it made me realise that Christmas is actually really difficult for alot of people, society puts all this pressure to be merry and bright but for some that's not possible. It made me realise just how important it is to be non judgemental, to not assume, and to be kind to others as you just never know what someone is going through. I've developed so much more empathy and understanding for people by going through my own hardships. Life can be tough sometimes but the beauty of it is - we can grow from it and that's exactly what I'm doing ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - I'm gonna remain grateful till my last day. It's so easy to get caught up in the "bad" in life. I'm still here, still breathing and wake up each morning with the ability to make changes in my life, that's something worth celebrating ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - I am open An open book who shares her experiences to help others . Open to receiving a fun, gentle, kind, and safe love from a partner. Open to continue learning about myself and open to be present and listen to the stories of others Open to taking different directions in life to ensure I maintain stability for Mackenzie and I Open for all good things to come 💫
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Recently I've laid low, life was becoming overwhelming. I forced myself to slow down which in turn gave me the space to reflect on what is important. Something that stood out to me was the importance of being kind - we can be so quick to judge, so quick to blame others and carry hate these days. Hate and anger is heavy and it's not something I want to ever carry. The people who have done me wrong - I won't carry anger for them, I'll wish them well and say my goodbyes. Life is way too short to carry others perceptions of you. In a world that is so frantic, force yourself to slow down - its amazing what you'll see.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Can't believe it's been six weeks since I've been back at the gym. Juggling recovery, work, mum life and everyday life is a little chaotic and I need to stick to a tight time schedule to be able to achieve what I want through out each day (which doesn't always happen) but I'm doing what I can. I can feel myself healing and it makes me so excited ! 😊

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - @her_roar . . And just like that the weekend is over ! My first big competition back from having a break. . . An unreal weekend surrounded by amazing athletes, I had such a fun time - I was a little worried with only 6 weeks of training under my belt and got pushed to my limits - but placing 2nd to the amazing @camilla_fogagnolo who was an absolute champion to compete with. Everyone cheered each other on, supported each other and created a top atmosphere - just the way it should be ❤ . . Huge thanks to @aliciafistonich @her_roar for creating this expo - it's needed and very much appreciated. . . Thank you to @corey_hogan_aes @scotty_bossman @laura.pocketrocket for being amazing support and helping me through the weekend.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Self care Over the years and through each hardship, my definition of "self care" has changed. My first proper dealing with "self care" was during a really tough time in my life - when I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression. Farkkk, I struggled so much, I think back to those days and I honestly want to reach in, grab my little chubby postpartum face and say "you're going to get through this, I've got you" . I felt worthless as a new mother, a person, a friend, a partner. I felt I had no one to turn to because I didn't want people to see me "fail" I had limited family support, I lost my friends. Life was so incredibly dark. I knew something had to change, I thought "self care" was all about physically pampering yourself, I'd get an hour away to go get a manicure - only to feel so anxious and guilty for leaving my baby. Getting a manicure didn't help... going for a walk around kmart didn't help.. randomly driving to Yass and screaming in my car didn't help. Little did I know that creating boundaries was going to be my self care - telling people how I truly felt and not trying to people please was my self care, having the courage to actually tell my then partner how I really needed help around the house and with mackenzie was self care.  Then, as I grew stronger and worked harder - my self care changed, it changed to not putting up with bullshit, it changed to not staying in situations or relationships that were no longer bringing me happiness. Then it changed again after my mum passed away It changed to trying to focus only on the main priorities and "dulling out" the excess noise as I truly didn't have the capacity to take on anymore. A lot of people didn't like that, but for my own selfcare, I had to. Then it changed again after I was diagnosed with Liposarcoma and literally had to be brought back to life, . It changed SO much after this, NOW ... selfcare is whatever the fuck I want it to be , some days it's adventuring down the coast on my own, some days it's spending the day in the house playing game after game with my beautiful daughter, some nights it's staying home with chocolate and a serial killer documentary and... cont in comments ⬇️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Entering Week 3 . Still getting used to moving and stretching scar tissue ( which I have an extensive amount of 🤦‍♀️) but made small progressions today so that made me excited. #instareels #instafit #gym #strength #beconsistent #postopjourney #babysteps #smallprogressisstillprogress #strongwoman #rebuildbyleigh
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - . . DAY 1 EVENTS . . EVENT 1 - 80KG Farmers Walk - Trained like a mofo with a turn and got quick with it but the turn was dropped due to limited space so it was a quick dash there and back. 1st place. . . EVENT 2 - 40KG MONSTER DB - I went into this comp knowing this would be my weakest event, I had pretty significant right shoulder instability with some tears and worked hard with @pbphysio @scotty_bossman & @corey_hogan_aes doing daily physio to get it as stable as I could. 3rd Place. . . EVENT 3 - 60kg Sandbag, 80kg Keg, 97kg Natural stone loading Medley - After coming 3rd in the previous event I knew I had to be super quick with this one. Messed around with the stone load a little longer than needed which left me in 2nd place by a few seconds. . . Did myself a mischief and sprained my medial ligament in my right knee only 6 days out so that caused abit of mental block leading into comp, but it remained stable just painful during day 1. . . @citystrength @teampowerelite @shreddedwarfare @iamherculeswoman @pbphysio @strongwoman_australia

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.
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - First time getting covid and it wrecked me. Extreme fatigue and some major brain fog along with all the other fun symptoms. 3 weeks off rehab and it made me feel like dirt. I've been doing bits and pieces at home and working on stretching out my scar tissue (not a pleasant experience) but I'm now at the stage where I can get into a "cobra" pose . This is progress and I'll take it.
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - I'll never forget the journey and the people who helped me along the way, always grateful to still be here and to wake up each morning ❤️ .

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - We are pumped to announce @leigh.hollandkeen as our lead speaker at our next workshop in Sydney. We thought we’d ask her some questions so you can get to know her a little more. Tell us a little about yourself? I am a single mother to a beautiful 2 year old wild child, a registered nurse, a strongwoman athlete, a strength coach, a woman who is a balance of being both fiery and calm, fiery when I am passionate about something ,but calm amongst chaos. I am persistent, determined and resilient. Why are you volunteering to coach at SIS? It gives me great satisfaction to introduce new people into the sport - to watch an individual's physical and mental strength grow is magical. Having been around since the very start of the sport in Australia - I have watched the sport change in so many ways and I feel grateful to still be part of it all. What’s some of your proudest moments in strongwoman? I have MANY proud moments in Strongwoman - I’ve lost count how many competitions I have competed in. Rebuilding after a traumatic birth and the loss of my mum and stepping back into competing has been a tough feat for me and for that I am proud of myself. What’s your ethos or something you live by? Always be kind but have firm boundaries throughout life. If you want to achieve a goal, work HARD and be CONSISTENT, don't give in when it gets tough. Let’s give Leigh a warm welcome to the SIS team 🫶🏽 Reposted from @sisters_in_strength_aus

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - I swear for the past 3 years my life has been full of constant rebuilds - I get knocked down but every time I get back up. I don't have it in me to give up. Both a blessing and a curse. This is all I've known as my main form of therapy since I was a teenager and I honestly feel like it's helped me through my hardest moments in life. My physical health has been pretty poor since my surgery, which has been frustrating as hell, but I'm here, I'm alive and I feel blessed that I have the option to "rebuild" . #rebuildbyleigh #letsgo #physicaltherapy #instafit #insta #strongwoman #lettherebuildbegin
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 2 0 2 3 . I love when I set my goals - I'm a VERY goal orientated person, and I always put 100% into the goals I decide to set for myself. Last year was TOUGH in so many ways. I bring even more strength and resilience into 2023. I made it ! Now it's time to stop being in survival mode (literally) and enjoy all that life can offer me - Goals for 2023 - Compete back in Strongwoman in June - Buy a ute and make it look badass - Get outdoors and away for weekends more - Take on more online clients - Maybeeee find a good man 🙈 #thegoalsareset #bringiton #gratefulforlife #instagram #rebuildbyleigh #lifeismadeforliving
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - . . DAY 2 EVENTS . . EVENT 1 - M4 Tank Push - The weirdest event I've ever competed in. The harder you pushed the more resistance it had.

EVENT 3 - Deadlift Medley 150kg Axle, 170kg Trapbar, 165kg Barbell  - Last and final event, all in and tried my hardest. I had a ridiculous amount of vomit that came up and had to quit it otherwise the ref's would have worn projectile vomit 😂 - 2nd place Ended the comp in 2nd place and was totally happy to place that to @camilla_fogagnolo who is not only a phenomenal athlete but displays top sportsmanship. . . @citystrength @teampowerelite @shreddedwarfare @iamherculeswoman @pbphysio @strongwomanaustralia @her_roar

My everyday pain is starting to settle a little bit which makes everyday life just that little bit easier ! The beauty of starting at the bottom is the amazing amount of progression you can achieve! Geee it feels good to be back ! ♥️

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Honestly, if life has taught me anything in the past few years - It's to keep loved ones close - this doesn't always mean family, it means anyone who's important to you, who makes you feel loved and supported. Loved ones will always want to see you happy, see you growing and encourage you to live your best happy life - whatever decision it may be. Life is fucking way too short man - just be kind, be compassionate and be a good human. ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Huge thank you to @scotty_bossman for believing in me when I came to him with the wild idea of competing so soon. I was told by the oncologist surgeon that I'd need 12 months to recover from surgery and while I still AM recovering - I feel I'm very in tune with my body and what it can tolerate. Another huge thank you to @citystrength for always supporting me especially during my time away from the sport - I'm forever proud to be part of #teamcitystrength . All my work colleagues and adopted family who came to support me - it means so much - forever grateful to still be here and do what I love ❤️

All my work colleagues and adopted family who came to support me - it means so much - forever grateful to still be here and do what I love ❤️

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Such a special moment for me - I know my mum would be proud of this one ❤️ . Throughout all my hardships, I've never strayed from my core values, and for that, I am proud.
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Some days, I really need to pull my head in, and remember - I'm still recovering from major surgery. I'm a pest for wanting to "send it" sometimes . The past 8 weeks of hypertrophy training has been ( ill be honest) boring as bat shit but thankfully, it's the last week - hooray I made it . Next week I can start having some fun !

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - First Strongman Session Back Testing the body to see what events may aggravate my core and what I need to work on. I was honestly so surprised at how good it all felt. I'm playing smart and not pushing myself, but I'm super happy with my "baseline." Pleased with a 60kg log. I'm coming back babbbbbyyyyy 😊 @citystrength @sbdapparel @ptcmacarthur @iamherculeswoman #strongwoman #ptcmacarthur #rebuildbyleigh #instagram #slowlyslowly #mindset #strength #itsallaboutthejourney

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Human see, human do . Don't tell a child to be kind, teach them how to be kind, don't tell a child to be respecful, teach them what respect is . Children mirror the environment they live in. Will I get it 100% right ? probably not - will I keep trying my absolute hardest, you betcha. ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Putting together my wild journey.
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Can I just say ... being a parent is tough, being a single parent is tough, co-parenting is tough, not having parents is tough. To me I have the most important role in the world, it is my role to ensure this beautiful little girl is financially, physically, spiritually and what I feel is the most important, emotionally supported. Some days I feel like im slaying it, some days I feel like motherhood is kicking my ass but yesterday, little mackenzie gave me a hug and said "mummy you're my hero" and it made me feel so warm. Parenthood is wild, it's taught me patience, it's taught me true unconditional love, it's gifted me this insane amount of mental strength. Without this beautiful little girl, I wouldn't be who I am today. She's the perfect balance of kind and caring but is headstrong in what she wants and stands strong when she deems something wrong. I love you my little macca pacca ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Training harder each week - I'm so here for it 🙌 @ptcmacarthur @teampowerelite @citystrength #recovery #instastrong #fyp #ptcmacarthur #powerelite #strongwoman #strengh #rebuildbyleigh #slowlyslowly #liposarcomarecovery #youaintkillingmeyet #hashtag #insta #instagram #sydney
Leigh Holland-Keen - 3.2K Likes - 3 weeks ago I underwent some pretty brutal surgery, surgery that I knew was risky but had to be done. I went to sleep after being told they would have to remove my left kidney, spleen, left ovary, part of my bowel, the 1kg liposarcoma and I'd have a "chemo washout" . I was so scared. It is so daunting being on your own and being faced with this. I also had an epidural prior to being sedated which brought back horrible memories of my birth but the team made me as comfortable as possible and gave me alot of reassurance which helped me in so many ways. . . I was extubated early as the surgery went well and I'm "fit and healthy" , the tumor was removed much easier than anticipated and they managed to keep the majority of my organs. I woke up with drips and drains coming out of everywhere - Arterial lines, central line, indwelling catheter, 2 abdominal drains, nasogastric tube, 3 intravenous cannulas, TPN, epidural infusion, and an oxycodone PCA. . . The next day, I had a cardiac arrest requiring CPR - I came round to a busy room full of medical staff racing around, working hard. I was told I would need a temporary pacing wire and the possibility of a pacemaker being inserted. After discussions with the cardiologist- they wanted to monitor me but attached to the defibrillator, an echocardiogram showed I have a bicuspid aortic valve with regurgitation (something I wasn't aware of). . . After 5 or 6 days in ICU I was finally moved to the ward - a few days in I developed an acute onset of new pain - I'd rather have back to back births than this pain again - I had an urgent CT at midnight to show I had pancreatitis. I was started on a continuous ketamine infusion which unfortunately made me hallucinate and I became agitated - that was stopped within 24hrs. After a couple of days things started to settle. Day by day, more drips and drains were being removed. I was in bed for 12 days so mobilising feels very weird and wobbly. . . This has certainly changed me - physically and mentally. I'll grow from this, I know it - but first I need to focus on getting my independence back and allowing myself to heal.

In most of my training videos I wear a sports bra - this is part of scar exposure therapy. I've been so incredibly self conscious about it and at times felt really down BUT I'm getting there... slowly. This wasn't by my own doing, I can't change it but I can move forward and hopefully get to a point where I feel proud that I survived all I have. I'll keep putting in the hard yards and whatever the future holds, I'll just keep fighting !

Likes : 1116Leigh Holland-Keen - 1K Likes - A gentle reminder to never judge a book by it's cover You could look at this photo and think wow she's doing really well, out walking, back doing rehab/exercise. I've had alot of messages from people saying - "you're strong this will be easy" . "Look what you've done in life this is nothing " I can tell you right now.. THIS IS NOT EASY The past week I've struggled. I've had an internal battle to get out of bed, to shower, to get changed, to think "positive" For someone that is so active and lives a rather chaotic lifestyle, having everything stripped away and being in a small apartment totally alone... is tough. I'm normally a busy single mum, juggling all sorts. I've normally always got a list of stuff that needs to be done, washing, housework, cooking, training.. but now I have nothing. While most parents would be like "praise the lorddddd, I get a break" , I've not felt that way, I enjoy being productive, I enjoy being active, I honestly love being a mum. I don't enjoy sitting around watching t.v, I don't like being stationary. So what's changed over the past 2 days ? I woke up and said to myself, no one is going to change this for me, no one is going to come save me and encourage me to get out of bed, to shower me, to dress me. I had two options, I ignore my insight to see my mental health is declining and end up in a really bad place OR I get up, I create a routine, I  tell myself " It is hard RIGHT NOW but it's not always going to be this way" . I am no pushover and that's came from overcoming constant challenges, I have firm boundaries and that's came from constant heartbreak. I have been through way to much in life to allow this to bring me down. This Wednesday I find out if I need chemotherapy, and whatever the outcome, I will keep fighting. Why have I posted this ? Because I want to be real, I want people to see that everyone struggles at times and it doesn't mean we are weak, in fact - and I say this all the time now  - true strength is being real and showing your highest highs but also your lowest lows. I won't be another "highlight reel" instagram account. Cont. Below

I met her and Leigh competing up in Cairns in 2017 💪 Pic & vid from post competing shenanigans where Susie was trying to pole dance on a traffic light 😂 I’ll always remember her warmth toward others, loud laugh, bright pink 💕& leopard print attire!🐆 We visited “susies garden” place of rest, paid respects and then wined & dined ourselves🍷🍖 Sometimes you just need ya girlfriends in your corner to talk shit to and listen when you’re under a lot of stress 🤯 I still consider my mum a strongwoman (heck it would have been a handful to raise me!) but our photos together doing face masks certainly aren’t as glamorous as Leigh and Susie on the historic manhood stones in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😜 A mother daughter relationship is like no other, and I am dreading that mine will be over soon 🥹 I am so grateful for my friendship with @leigh.hollandkeen providing sound nursing advice for my mum and moving through this grief like she has done ❤️ So much love for you sister 😘 #stronwomensupportingstrongwomen #sistersinstrength #motherdaughter #friendship #fuckcancer #griefandloss

It's been brick by boring brick for a while now, but today I reflected on how far I've truly come. 5 months ago, I couldn't stand up straight, still struggled to shower myself and getting out of bed was such a challenge - both physically and mentally.  Sometimes you just need to stop and appreciate the journey you're on and be proud of what you've achieved so far . #instagram #rebuild #fitness #strongwoman #recovery #mindset

Likes : 547Leigh Holland-Keen - 546 Likes - Full transparency about this one. This has by far been my hardest "festive session" ever. Co parenting has been hard. The overwhelming grief for my mum has been hard . Not having family around has been hard. Christmas has always been a huge tradition within my family, the laughs, the food, the memories made . Having all that stripped away has been the toughest thing to overcome. I've felt the lowest I've probably ever felt over the past month, it's been absolute dogshit . I've been waiting for my "get up and go" to kick in but it took way longer than I expected, then I realised - I need to sit with these emotions, I need to feel them and I need to work out what to do with them. Life has really changed for me and it's OK to feel sad about it . I had a random chat with a guy who was all dishevelled drinking VB at 10am - I started up a conversation with him and he told me how Christmas is really hard for him as he lost his dad the year before and he never got to meet his first born son - it made me realise that Christmas is actually really difficult for alot of people, society puts all this pressure to be merry and bright but for some that's not possible. It made me realise just how important it is to be non judgemental, to not assume, and to be kind to others as you just never know what someone is going through. I've developed so much more empathy and understanding for people by going through my own hardships. Life can be tough sometimes but the beauty of it is - we can grow from it and that's exactly what I'm doing ❤️

Likes : 529Leigh Holland-Keen - 526 Likes - Recently I've laid low, life was becoming overwhelming. I forced myself to slow down which in turn gave me the space to reflect on what is important. Something that stood out to me was the importance of being kind - we can be so quick to judge, so quick to blame others and carry hate these days. Hate and anger is heavy and it's not something I want to ever carry. The people who have done me wrong - I won't carry anger for them, I'll wish them well and say my goodbyes. Life is way too short to carry others perceptions of you. In a world that is so frantic, force yourself to slow down - its amazing what you'll see.

Likes : 408Leigh Holland-Keen - 393 Likes - Self care Over the years and through each hardship, my definition of "self care" has changed. My first proper dealing with "self care" was during a really tough time in my life - when I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression. Farkkk, I struggled so much, I think back to those days and I honestly want to reach in, grab my little chubby postpartum face and say "you're going to get through this, I've got you" . I felt worthless as a new mother, a person, a friend, a partner. I felt I had no one to turn to because I didn't want people to see me "fail" I had limited family support, I lost my friends. Life was so incredibly dark.

Caption : Self care Over the years and through each hardship, my definition of “self care” has changed. My first proper dealing with “self care” was during a really tough time in my life – when I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression. Farkkk, I struggled so much, I think back to those days and I honestly want to reach in, grab my little chubby postpartum face and say “you’re going to get through this, I’ve got you” . I felt worthless as a new mother, a person, a friend, a partner. I felt I had no one to turn to because I didn’t want people to see me “fail” I had limited family support, I lost my friends. Life was so incredibly dark. I knew something had to change, I thought “self care” was all about physically pampering yourself, I’d get an hour away to go get a manicure – only to feel so anxious and guilty for leaving my baby. Getting a manicure didn’t help… going for a walk around kmart didn’t help.. randomly driving to Yass and screaming in my car didn’t help. Little did I know that creating boundaries was going to be my self care – telling people how I truly felt and not trying to people please was my self care, having the courage to actually tell my then partner how I really needed help around the house and with mackenzie was self care.  Then, as I grew stronger and worked harder – my self care changed, it changed to not putting up with bullshit, it changed to not staying in situations or relationships that were no longer bringing me happiness.

Likes : 388Leigh Holland-Keen - 386 Likes - 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.

Extreme fatigue and some major brain fog along with all the other fun symptoms. 3 weeks off rehab and it made me feel like dirt. I've been doing bits and pieces at home and working on stretching out my scar tissue (not a pleasant experience) but I'm now at the stage where I can get into a "cobra" pose . This is progress and I'll take it.

We thought we’d ask her some questions so you can get to know her a little more. Tell us a little about yourself? I am a single mother to a beautiful 2 year old wild child, a registered nurse, a strongwoman athlete, a strength coach, a woman who is a balance of being both fiery and calm, fiery when I am passionate about something ,but calm amongst chaos. I am persistent, determined and resilient. Why are you volunteering to coach at SIS? It gives me great satisfaction to introduce new people into the sport - to watch an individual's physical and mental strength grow is magical. Having been around since the very start of the sport in Australia - I have watched the sport change in so many ways and I feel grateful to still be part of it all. What’s some of your proudest moments in strongwoman? I have MANY proud moments in Strongwoman - I’ve lost count how many competitions I have competed in. Rebuilding after a traumatic birth and the loss of my mum and stepping back into competing has been a tough feat for me and for that I am proud of myself. What’s your ethos or something you live by? Always be kind but have firm boundaries throughout life. If you want to achieve a goal, work HARD and be CONSISTENT, don't give in when it gets tough. Let’s give Leigh a warm welcome to the SIS team 🫶🏽 Reposted from @sisters_in_strength_aus

EVENT 2 – Max Barbell Overhead  Tried to be strategic as possible with this one and took the gamble of entering into the game at 80kg – that felt super easy – decided to try 90kg which was my Max during this training program But unfortunately missed it. – 2nd place. . . EVENT 3 – Deadlift Medley 150kg Axle, 170kg Trapbar, 165kg Barbell  – Last and final event, all in and tried my hardest. I had a ridiculous amount of vomit that came up and had to quit it otherwise the ref’s would have worn projectile vomit 😂 – 2nd place Ended the comp in 2nd place and was totally happy to place that to @camilla_fogagnolo who is not only a phenomenal athlete but displays top sportsmanship. . . @citystrength @teampowerelite @shreddedwarfare @iamherculeswoman @pbphysio @strongwomanaustralia @her_roar

My everyday pain is starting to settle a little bit which makes everyday life just that little bit easier ! The beauty of starting at the bottom is the amazing amount of progression you can achieve! Geee it feels good to be back ! ♥️

Loved ones will always want to see you happy, see you growing and encourage you to live your best happy life - whatever decision it may be. Life is fucking way too short man - just be kind, be compassionate and be a good human. ❤️

I was told by the oncologist surgeon that I'd need 12 months to recover from surgery and while I still AM recovering - I feel I'm very in tune with my body and what it can tolerate. Another huge thank you to @citystrength for always supporting me especially during my time away from the sport - I'm forever proud to be part of #teamcitystrength . All my work colleagues and adopted family who came to support me - it means so much - forever grateful to still be here and do what I love ❤️

The past 8 weeks of hypertrophy training has been ( ill be honest) boring as bat shit but thankfully, it's the last week - hooray I made it . Next week I can start having some fun !

Likes : 218Leigh Holland-Keen - 217 Likes - Can I just say ... being a parent is tough, being a single parent is tough, co-parenting is tough, not having parents is tough. To me I have the most important role in the world, it is my role to ensure this beautiful little girl is financially, physically, spiritually and what I feel is the most important, emotionally supported. Some days I feel like im slaying it, some days I feel like motherhood is kicking my ass but yesterday, little mackenzie gave me a hug and said "mummy you're my hero" and it made me feel so warm. Parenthood is wild, it's taught me patience, it's taught me true unconditional love, it's gifted me this insane amount of mental strength. Without this beautiful little girl, I wouldn't be who I am today. She's the perfect balance of kind and caring but is headstrong in what she wants and stands strong when she deems something wrong. I love you my little macca pacca ❤️
