Episode 43 - In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with local Gippsland author Sarah Rosse to discuss her deeply moving memoir, So, Who Are You Anyway?

Sarah courageously shares her family's journey after her teenage son's suicide attempt, offering an honest and compassionate insight into the impact mental health challenges can have on the entire family. She speaks openly about the fear, grief, hope and healing that followed, and how writing became a powerful tool for processing her experiences.

Together, we explore motherhood, resilience, identity, journalling, mental health, and the importance of creating safe spaces for honest conversations.

Please note: This episode discusses suicide, mental health and grief. Listener discretion is advised.
