Penelope Rowe ‘I feel a click in my brain and I know that's it’

In this very special episode, Jess sits down with her mum, Penelope Rowe, to answer YOUR questions in a deeply personal and candid conversation.

Together, they share how Peter Overton (aka “Petey”) passed the all-important mum test, and how their deep bond has evolved through life’s highs and lows, including Penelope’s experience living with Bipolar Disorder.  They reflect on what it truly means to be a ‘good enough’ mum, the importance of finding joy in the present moment, and how even ithe darkest times can hold light. By opening up about how mental illness doesn't have to define your whole life, Jess and Penelope hope their story and this episode helps you feel seen, heard, and a little less alone.
