On the show today Jessica shares her own story of loss and love, and triumphing through adversity to become the woman she is today; free, confidant, and sure of her identity and worth in Christ. She shares all about her journey as a celebrity make-up artist, as well as why she is so passionate about passing on the message to her clients that beauty cannot be applied, only uncovered. We chat all about how to step into your authentic beauty. And then near the end Jessica shares the story of how she met and fell in love with her husband, as a 36 year older virgin. She shares all about why they made the decision to wait to kiss until they got engaged. And we discuss the extent to which truly knowing your worth and your true identity can impact your romantic relationships. There is so much goodness and truth in this episode. I’m just going to give you a heads up that Jessica preaches, so I hope that you all are incredibly empowered and encouraged through our conversation.
