Coming up in this episode of Great Company.

When you become a mum, you almost have to come like a superhuman. They are like my whole heart and soul. You could not write it then what was about to happen. The feeling I got when I walked into the room was like, someone had died. There will probably be a day. Maybe when the girls turn to me and they say, like, Mommy, I don't think I can do that I'll play

them a documentary and I'll say yes you fucking can just look what you did yeah hi I'm

Jesse Nelson and I'm in great company please welcome Jesse Nelson do you look back at that time

and just go that was oh god yeah I had my really shit times in Little Mix, but I also had some of the best times of my life. We were best made. When you decided to leave, that must have been hard, right? Yeah, it was really tough. From the minute I got off X Factor, I felt like I didn't want to be in it. The way it was making me feel was just like I couldn't, I could not handle it. I couldn't deal with it. And my brother was like, just make as much money as you can and then leave. Best advice. Now I've been presented with this situation with my girls. I can now, you know, go above and beyond in terms of just the things that they're going to need. How are the girls now? They have just overcome so much and they are so tiny.

And I'm like, there's nothing you won't be able to do.

This treatment is life-changing.

There's been so many families that didn't get the treatment.

That's why you speaking out is going to help so many people.

Music That's why you speaking out is going to help so many people. Hello, everyone. My name is Jamie Lang, and this is Great Company.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Great Company. Now, my guest today is the amazing Jesse Nelson.

Jesse was part of one of the biggest girl bands of all-time Little Mix. I'm a huge fan. I absolutely love Little Mix in every single way.

And more recently, she's become a mom to twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe. But I don't know if you saw her Instagram post or saw the news that story and ocean have been diagnosed with something called spinal muscular atrophy, SMA, a rare condition that causes muscles to kind of weaken and waste away.

And when I heard this, I reached out to Jesse to invite her onto great company to share her story and raise awareness about SMA.

I mean, this conversation is

incredibly powerful and I'm so grateful to you, Jesse, for trusting us with it. We covered so much

that we've decided to split it into two parts. So part one is today. This is what you're listening

to and part two is coming out on Friday. So keep an eye out for that. Before we get into it,

I'm just going to ask you

to do one quick thing for me if that's possible. Please just follow and subscribe to great company.

It's totally free and we want to keep it that way. Okay, and it really helps us keep bringing the

guests you love and making the show bigger and better for you every single week. If you can do that
