Summary

Jessica Simpson has always had trouble using her voice. She’s bursting with things to say, but it’s hard to get the words out. When she blows the biggest audition of her career, she gets one last chance to use her voice when she scores a record contract. But what if using her voice means losing herself? In this four-part series, we dive deep into the story of Jessica Simpson and tell you all about how a Southern Baptist choir girl built a business to rival all the men who ever dismissed her.
