Kourtney Kardashian Barker admitted that she's felt "pressure" from her younger sister Kim Kardashian comparing their respective business ventures.

In season three, episode two of "The Kardashians," which aired Thursday, Kardashian Barker prepared for the launch of her nutritional supplement line Lemme. While getting ready for a Wall Street Journal photo shoot tied to the launch, she said that she's felt anxiety as a result of Kim comparing their businesses.

"I think it was like, the pressure, mostly from Kim like, 'What's your business? I have my thing, and I have my thing,' and then it's like, 'But what's yours?'" Kardashian Barker said.

"I mean, Kim and I are 18 months apart, so we definitely grew up like, more competitive," she continued in a confessional. "Although I've let that part go, I'm not sure if she has."

Kardashian Barker launched Lemme in September 2022, telling the Wall Street Journal that she had been working on it for five years. It comes on the heels of her brand Poosh, which focused on lifestyle, health, and home content. Her sister Kim's ventures include her skincare line, SKKN by Kim, her shapewear brand, Skims, and a private equity firm called SKYY Partners.

Kardashian Barker said that in addition to the "pressure" she feels from her sister, she also worried about how the public would respond to a brand from someone in the Kardashian-Jenner family.

"It's scary launching something. 'Cause people are also really critical of us specifically, so I think it's like, what if they tear apart the packaging, the price?" Kardashian Barker said.

New episodes of "The Kardashians" season three air Thursdays on Hulu.
