We’re taking our own advice this week.

Instead of pushing through, forcing content, or pretending we don’t need a breather, we’re choosing rest. And what better time to revisit one of our favorite conversations?

Join us, Kelly & Jenna as we rewind to our very first guest, Dr. Cortha Pringle, for an inspiring and honest conversation about bold career pivots, redefining success, and learning to see failure as growth.

Dr. Cortha Pringle, owner and center director of the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Virginia Beach Red Mill, shares her journey from government contracting to educational leadership, earning a doctorate in strategic leadership from Regent University, and building a mission-driven business aligned with her purpose.

In this episode, we talk about: • Making courageous career pivots • Reframing failure as feedback • Eldest-daughter pressure and people-pleasing • Saying no without guilt • Building community support • Navigating identity shifts as your children become adults • And giving yourself permission to prioritize joy and rest

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to constantly produce, constantly achieve, constantly prove, this episode is your reminder that pivots are powerful… and rest is part of the process.

You don’t have to burn out to be brave.

WELCOME TO THE AUDACITY EFFECT

Welcome to The Audacity Effect — the unapologetic podcast for women & people who are done waiting for permission and ready to build audacious careers, businesses, and lives.

We talk female ambition, confidence, reinvention, modern womanhood, leadership, and building something bigger — even if you’re still in your 9-5, still figuring it out, or still convincing your inner critic to calm down. We’re Jenna & Kelly — corporate escape artists in progress, accidentally-serious life strategists, and founders rewriting the rules one bold decision at a time.

Think: Self-development minus the cringe. Ambition without apology. Humor + healing + high standards.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• How to stop shrinking and start showing up
• Confidence, comparison, jealousy & the real dynamics of female friendship
• Surviving corporate culture without letting it suck out your soul
• Second-act careers & identity pivots
• Overcoming imposter syndrome
• Entrepreneurship while working a full-time job
• Building confidence, resilience & brand direction
• Saying yes before you're "ready"
• Real conversations about ambition, burnout, and balancing it all

There will be real tools. Real pep talks. Real chaos. And zero performative perfection. A space for high-achieving women & others to come and stop playing it small.

You don’t need more qualifications — you need more audacity.

New episodes weekly. Welcome to your bolder era.
