ROAR!: A Mother's Quest From Rock-Bottom To World Champion
Book Details
Description
Drug-taking, domestic violence, divorce and depression - danger and drama reside in this no holds barred story about a wife and mother who came through it all to become world water ski racing champion at 40 years old.
Not knowing how to deal with early world level sporting success and concurrent failure, fed Leanne’s beliefs that she “wasn’t good enough to be great at anythingâ€. She subsequently went on to a partying, decadent lifestyle, crazy boyfriends, years living in Asia, and a slow downward spiral of believing her days of achieving anything good were over, that she was washed up at the ripe old age of 34.
Whilst she pushed on with pursuits ranging from studying to sky-diving to starting an organic sausage roll business, old and out-dated negative beliefs quietly crippled her self-confidence. Hitting rock-bottom found her alone with a baby, and forced her to realise it was her opportunity to step-up and regain her power, and through all of that learnt to love again which is the greatest gift of all.
Leanne’s story delves into years of highs, lows and shenanigans that conveniently kept her in denial. It documents her ambitious quest to improve herself, and culminates in the space of one year, when she achieved what she never would have thought possible several years earlier. She turned 40, married her childhood sweetheart, and as a mum and step-mum to four children, she was crowned world champion.
Her intriguing tales lead to insights behind overcoming life challenges to achieve extraordinary outcomes, and she believes that taking ownership of one’s self is a never-ending pursuit that can set you on the path to a rich and fulfilling life.
Leanne’s story is for anyone who wants all that they can get from and give to life. It will inspire those who are stuck in negative mindsets as she was, who don’t live up to their full potential, who carry bitterness over failings for their whole lives, or think it’s too late to achieve big dreams.
