She's My Mirror, Not My Threat: Jen Gottlieb on Sisterhood, Being Seen, and Letting Go of Competition

“The more that you stick with the commitments you make with yourself, the more coins you put in your confidence bank.” —Jen Gottlieb  

What does it really take to be seen without losing yourself in the process? Jess sits down with Jen Gottlieb for an honest conversation about visibility, confidence, Sisterhood, social media, and the courage to reinvent yourself when the version of your life that looks “good” is no longer enough.

Jen shares her journey from losing herself in other people’s expectations to rebuilding her confidence one small commitment at a time, and eventually becoming a powerful voice in personal branding and entrepreneurship. 

Together, they unpack how they were initially intimidated by each other’s platforms, what happens behind the highlight reel, why women need women who genuinely want them to win, and how to stay connected to your purpose as your visibility grows.
