Nyssa Bell is a teacher who lives in Streaky Bay with her husband and daughter. She loves netball, is physically active and loves inspiring and empowering others. Through her own challenges, Nyssa's mission has become a pursuit to 'catch young people upstream' to arm them with the tools to live well. Nyssa's story is another reminder to never judge a book by it's cover; you just never know the extent of what someone has been through.
Please be aware that this episode discusses miscarriage, IVF, still birth, postnatal depression and suicidal ideation.
