5 With A Digger. Layla. Part 1. Boxing, Slovenian Armed Forces and Moving to Australia.
About this episode
Layla shares her inspiring journey as a pioneering female boxer and her service in the Slovenian Armed Forces before moving to Australia.
Some people break barriers while others redefine them. Born in Slovenia, Layla became one of the country’s pioneering female boxers at just 19 years old, stepping into the ring when women’s boxing was still fighting for recognition. Despite facing sexism and limited opportunities, she refused to back down, becoming a multiple-time national champion and proudly representing her country across Europe and the world. Her journey didn’t stop there. Following Slovenia’s independence, Layla became part of the first generation of women permitted to serve in the Slovenian Armed Forces. While serving in a 120mm mortar fire control unit, she completed peacekeeping deployments to Bosnia and Kosovo all while continuing her boxing career. Eventually, life brought her to Australia, where she once again started from scratch, determined to build a new future. This is an incredible conversation about resilience, service, elite sport, and having the courage to keep moving forward, no matter what life throws at you. https://www.1111breathwork.com.au/ Food Hub OPEN!
