In the premiere episode above, Olympic hurdler Kristi Castlin and celebrity stylist Dianne Garcia break down why women should focus less on competition and more on paying it forward.

“At the end of the day, iron sharpens iron. We only help each other get better.”

“That’s one thing that really helped me,” Castlin says, “[Remembering] that there’s enough [success] to go around. Like, ‘Hey girl, let me help you out, let me give you a tip, let me help you.’ Because at the end of the day, iron sharpens iron. We only help each other get better.”
