Jessica Rowe: Is This My Beautiful Life

Jessica Rowe imagined she would have a fairytale life: a successful career, well-behaved children and a tidy home. The reality was much less picturesque: a hurtful public trolling, a long struggle to conceive with IVF and, when she did finally give birth, a diagnosis of post-natal depression. Her struggle to regain control of her life – and redefine what it means to ‘have it all’ – is testament to her strength and adaptability. Join Jessica as she opens up about the darkest days of her life, and how she learned to ask for help.
