Jess Greenfield

The Proper Mental Podcast

Welcome to episode 168 with Jess Greenfield, who is a multi-instrumentalist and a singer with Wonder 45 and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying birds.

In this episode I chat to Jess about singing, the music industry and balancing being a mother and a touring musician.

We also chat about Jess’ experiences with post-natal mental health issues, the impact that had on her family and how she got through it.

We chat about the vulnerability of singing, parental anxiety, asking for help and the loss of identity that comes with becoming a parent.

There is also loads of music chat in this one! It was great to hear about everything Jess is doing with Wonder 45 and of course we chat about how Jess came to join Noel Gallagher’s band and what it’s like to play on some of the biggest stages in the world.

Jess was also good enough to let me use one of Wonder 45’s singles as part of this episode! I used an incredible live audio of the song Cry and you can also watch that here:
