Mia St. John stepped into the ring at an age when most fighters contemplate hanging up their gloves. For sixteen years, she danced with victory and defeat, the highs of championship glory juxtaposed with the lows of personal tragedy. But these setbacks didn’t break her; they forged a new kind of fighter in Mia – a fighter for those who are struggling themselves. Motherhood brought her immense joy, but also unimaginable heartache.

Her son Julian, battling mental illness committed suicide back in 2014. This loss ripped a hole in Mia’s world, but instead of succumbing to grief, she channeled it into a powerful mission. Through her X, she keeps on helping her fans to get through their struggles and look at the brighter side of life. She did something similar in her latest post.

Boxing champion chose to focus on what she had

In her recent post, she wrote, “Focused on what I still have, rather than what I’ve lost. Stay looking up.” She preached that everybody should focus on the present, rather than dwelling on the past. She can say this because she’s seen the dreads of those suffering from mental health issues and how important it becomes to focus on those small gifts that one still has,

After her son’s death, alcohol became a misguided attempt to numb the pain. However, she fought through and made it out. She chose to focus on what she had instead of what was gone. She decided to keep fighting for her daughter.
