From who has better hair, body, or clothes to who is more successful at their job or earns more money, it is a non-stop, gruesome women against women competition.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Today, we had another beautiful conversation about friendship, sisterhood, faith, self-image, confidence, and growth. We explore childhood memories and identify where we get that sense of competition against other women. Is it something we hear about, or do we learn from adults? We delve into how critical it is to identify that our minimal size in the universe is inversely proportional to our role in it, that our voice matters, and needs to be heard. We also talk about how important it is to own our mistakes, even when they are extremely uncomfortable, and not wait to be thanked for apologizing.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In This Episode, You Will Learn:</strong></p><ul><li>We appreciate what we lose.
