In Part 2 of our conversation with Jeannette Thompson-Wessen, the story turns even darker.

After being shouted at while pregnant, ignored during risk assessments, and breaking down in front of students, Jeannette was left utterly broken. She describes a period of severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and the moment a school chose to send a parental complaint - on the very day she’d shared her mental health crisis.

But this episode is also about survival and the long road to recovery. Jeannette opens up about rebuilding her life, her family’s support, and the power of leaving a toxic environment. She’s now a health and safety ISO consultant and ADHD nutritionist, helping others live healthier lives - because she refused to stay somewhere that made her unwell.

Trigger Warning: Mental health, suicidal thoughts, pregnancy discrimination.
