In honor of World Mental Health Day, we brought the More or Less community together IRL for a night of honest conversation, music, and connection.

Joined by singer-songwriter Rosie, this unforgettable evening featured a live podcast recording, audience Q&A, and a stunning performance.

Jess reflects on the past five years of More or Less....the growth, the challenges, and what it truly means to hold space for others. Over the past few years, ‪Rosie has brought a new definition to “unfiltered,” choosing not to edit her photos or wear makeup and embracing her natural features. Navigating depression and anxiety, she opens up about her mental health journey, sharing how she practices self-compassion and manages her inner critic.Here’s to creating space for mental health and another five years of conversations like this one. 💛

Six months into performing, Daya was already playing arenas and winning a GRAMMY - all before she turned 18. She then made the bold choice to pause and rediscover who she was beyond the spotlight.

Nine years later, she returns with a new album, Til Every Petal Drops - her deepest project yet.

In this episode, Daya opens up about her early success with “Hide Away” and “Don’t Let Me Down,” growing up in the public eye, and how stepping away helped her find a more grounded version of herself.

A conversation on fame, identity, healing, and the power of leaning on your support system through it all.

Multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated Mary Lambert first captured hearts with Macklemore’s “Same Love.” Now, she’s back with her powerful new single “The Tempest” and a full album on the way.

Mary opens up about her lifelong journey of healing…from confronting shame and embracing self-compassion to living authentically. She reflects on the activism that shaped her career and the liberating act of producing her own music.

In this episode, she and Jess explore the intersectionality of mental health, body image, altruism, and creativity. They talk about staying grounded and intentional in a world that often demands performance over presence, the role of community and creativity in healing, and the power of giving yourself permission to feel it all.
