S1E4 Discovering, Defining, and Walking Out Our Convictions

In the previous episode, Jess and Paige discuss the importance of following our convictions. In today's episode they continue that conversation while taking a deeper dive into the practical ways in which we discover, define, and walk out our convictions.  Jess shares about how this journey has played out around her convictions with alcohol, and Paige discusses her real-time examples of how this is applied for her regarding anger and frustration.
