“All this upheaval with the business was happening at the exact same time that I lost my brother,” she told Courier Mails’ QWeekend, adding that 2020 was “the worst year of my life.”
‘I just went, “I’m done.” I’m going to take a little time because things were a little busy.
“At that time, I didn’t have the mental capacity to think about how I was going to save the company because all I have to do now is cry.”

She went on to say that she took the second half of 2020 off her career because she had no energy to do anything but cry with her family in Perth.
Jason Gale’s sudden death has deeply shaken Megan and her family.
Mr Gale, 49, was last seen buying petrol and water at the general store in Popanyinning on July 14, 2020, 160km south-east of his home in Perth .
With no more energy to give during this time, the actress opened up to The Daily Telegraph about the devastating grief she felt as her world crumbled around her.
After a week-long desperate search by family, friends and police, he was found dead in the bush next to his 1999 Honda CR-V SUV.
The death was not considered suspicious.
Mr Gale, an industrial mechanic, was known to ‘go into the bush’, but his friend Belinda Murray said he had never gone missing before.
“All this upheaval with the business was happening at the exact same time that I lost my brother. I just went, ‘I’m done.’ , she said
Ms Murray said Jason “really struggled” after watching a man die in a tragic incident in 2018 at a sewage treatment plant south of Perth.
Daily Mail Australia understands Mr Gale was among a group of colleagues who were there with the victim when he was hit and killed by a hose.
