As one of the most fun-loving Block contestants ever, it’s hard to imagine bubbly Queenslander Jess sitting on the couch watching a news report of a fatal car accident and wishing she was the one dead. That’s the scary low the star of the hit show reached as she silently battled postnatal depression following the birth of her first child Freddie. Jess shares her story this week (p22) as Woman’s Day launches our support of Liptember. We’re helping raise funds for women’s mental health research and support programs. And you can too. Purchase a Liptember lipstick from Chemist Warehouse in September and join me in supporting this very worthwhile cause.
