Jess sings the hard thing so you can be brave enough to say it. Now, during this period of isolation, the upcoming release of her new single, Sad People, reminds us that it's ok to be vulnerable and open up about being sad, but our sadness doesn't define who we are.

The depression, anxiety, and isolation afflicting countless millions around the world during the COVID-19 lockdown are all too real. We have only begun to see the tip of the iceberg of the mental health fallout from this pandemic. And during a time when non-essential workers are staying home to flatten the curve, not all of us have the resources and access to the human connection we need to be able to process what has happened to our culture, our loved ones, our jobs, and our economy. Instead of bottling up or denying our fear, anger, shame, sadness, and grief, mental health professionals are encouraging us to talk about it.

Jess hopes to reach listeners with a song. Just to let them know that they’re not alone and they have the power to get through this with. She hopes that the song will be a cathartic release and a catalyst to be brave enough to be vulnerable with another human, ask for help, or create something cathartic of their own.
