Being diagnosed and beating breast cancer 4. Touring the world 5. Going through a breakup 6. Raising a toddler 7. Doing my own socials, styling, hair + makeup everyday.

“Rightly so (it would be weird if it hadn't). The past 2 years has taken a toll on parts of me that I haven't had time to give space and grace to.

“Now's the time. Work has slowed down. So healing speeds up please.

“So I'm tapping out of this [world] for a while and into my real one. To give my mind, body and heart a well needed hug.”

According to the Daily Mail, Jessie said she had decided to go public with her cancer battle so she could better process her diagnosis and share solidarity with those experiencing similar health journeys.
