n this final instalment of Deany Jaghdour’s visit to Max’s Island, we begin
to learn a little more of her personal discovery of how she thinks and acts
in stressful situations. The importance of professional mental health
support is highlighted and Deany really learnt more about herself by
reflecting on her early childhood memories.
But, whilst she was managing her own mental health recovery pathway, the
family life was not settled by any means. And in fact, it became more
chaotic as they traversed the globe during a short period of time … This
included living in Bali on 3 separate times, living in France on two other
occasions and in between, staying in Melbourne and actually buying a
‘family” home in Perth. 
The reasons for these changes were mixed … and included multiple
redundancies, taking work out of necessity and also by just “following
their whim” that seemed to be the right thing at the time. And whilst all
of this was happening, Deany gave birth to a second child … and embraced a
real passion piece … where she self published a book for children,
 explaining the menstrual cycle in mothers.
