Tova Leigh

Tova was born in Israel. She practiced law and worked as a Labor Law attorney for two years before moving to the UK in 2006 to pursue a career in acting.

With an MA in performing arts and a diploma in script writing, Tova went on to write, act and produce several short films and a TV pilot, before starting a family in 2011 with her husband Mike.

She started her successful blog - My Thoughts About Stuff - in 2015 as a creative outlet and because she wanted to share the struggles she faced as a mom with other women. In less than three years her blog made her into an internet sensation with her blunt rants about motherhood, sex and all things taboo.

Her viral online series Mom Life Crisis which documents her own mid life crisis following a health scare, resonated with millions of women across the world and later became a documentary film on Amazon Prime Video.

In March 2019 Tova released her first book ‘F*cked at 40: Life Beyond Suburbia, Monogamy and Stretch Marks’. Tova takes the reader on her journey of rediscovering who she is after motherhood and beyond the norms society forces upon women, whilst encouraging them to break free and just be themselves. This book is for every woman that has ever felt trapped; a funny, raw and empowering mid-life-crisis. The paperback version of F*cked at 40 is available from 6th March 2021 and concessions 17th September 2021

Tova also co-hosts a weekly podcast Till Death Do Us Pod with her husband Mike and has a successful one woman comedy show which she took on tour around North America, Canada and the UK.

She is a mother of three girls and lives together with her family in London.https://tovaleigh.com/
