Boffins Bookshop in collaboration with Attachment Training Australia present a breakfast event with mother, journalist, celebrity, television presenter and author Jessica Rowe, as she launches her memoir Is This My Beautiful Life?
Jessica will be talking in conversation with Associate Professor Caroline Zanetti, a perinatal, child and infant psychiatrist about her battle with post-natal depression and how she rediscovered her ‘sparkle’. What was supposed to be Jessica’s beautiful life derailed in the very public collapse of her career, her long struggle to conceive, finally taking the IVF path, and her struggle with post-natal depression.
This book will be treasured by women who don’t feel they fit the mould of that perfect women. Women who understand that in life, ‘having it all’ may develop a different meaning. And women suffering from post-natal depression who will be encouraged that it’s ok to ask for help.
Tickets are strictly limited, so book early to avoid disappointment. Secure your place online via Trybooking.com!
