141: R U OK? Because Jess Bargenquast was far from it

from Motherland Australia · host Stephanie Trethewey

Are you okay? It's the question that changed everything for Jess Bargenquast. Because as a mum, a wife, and an employee, Jess was far from okay.  The pressures of life, the motherload, and the constant people pleasing led her to breaking point Then, just as she'd started to put the pieces back together, Jess's dad took his own life, and she hit rock bottom. Jess is ready to share her story, and and she wants to share it now. This Thursday is R U OK? Day, and I hope her story reminds every one to look after each other and to ask the simple question that could save a life. This is her story.*If you or anyone you know needs help, please contact Lifeline immediately on 13 11 14.
