Jesy Nelson, former member of the girl group Little Mix, recently opened up about her decision to leave the band and how it has impacted her life. In an interview on This Morning, she revealed that quitting Little Mix gave her a new sense of self and allowed her to prioritize her mental health. Let’s delve deeper into her journey and how it has shaped her as a person.
The Decision to Quit
Jesy’s decision to quit Little Mix was not an easy one. She had been a member of the group since they formed on The X Factor in 2011 and had achieved global success with the band. However, being in the public eye had taken a toll on her mental health, and she knew that she needed to prioritize herself and her well-being.

Finding a New Sense of Self
After leaving Little Mix, Jesy found a new sense of self that she had never experienced before. She no longer had to conform to the expectations and demands of the group and was able to focus on what made her happy. This newfound independence gave her the courage to pursue a solo career and make music that was raw and honest.
