Jess in Paris tells us what it was like to become a mum for the first time without family support. Due to Australia's tough travel restrictions, her family still hasn't met 7-month-old Zack. We thank Jess for being so frank about the mental toll of caring for a newborn while separated from loved ones. She also tells listeners what she thinks the government could do to help families like hers be reunited. If you'd like to share your story with us, please get in touch [email protected]
