How do strong women encourage each other and NOT compete? How do we fight the temptation to compare ourselves to the women around us? What does it look like to be in friendship and really feel free to cheer each other on?

In today’s episode, Jess and special guest Alex Hoover sit down to discuss these questions AND MORE. They laugh, cry a little, and expose the biggest areas in which they are tempted to compare themselves to other women. This episode is for you!
