Kelly and Jenna dig into the "comparison effect" — how measuring yourself against friends and peers quietly erodes confidence and connection. Through honest stories they explore jealousy, projection, and the trap of social media highlight reels.

They share practical ways to respond: reflect on what you really want, ask for help or inspiration, stop dimming your light for others, and use comparison as data instead of a weapon. The episode is a frank, funny call to celebrate each other and stay in your lane.

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.

In this episode of The Audacity Effect, hosts Jenna and Kelly are joined by Kelly's daughter Kendall to explore "not giving a f#@*" as a practical approach to setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and choosing who deserves your attention. They trade personal stories about friendships, toxic patterns, relationships, and how social media shapes confidence and comparison.

Listeners will get candid examples, generational perspectives, and a simple challenge: try ten days of not giving a F&#* to reclaim peace, sleep better, and stop carrying other people’s internal problems.

Kelly & Jenna unpack what true empowerment looks like: collective healing and inclusivity, not a prescriptive "girl boss" aesthetic. They challenge the idea that women must abandon their femininity or feel pressured into masculine leadership styles.

The episode covers balancing career and caregiving, pushing back against fear-driven corporate cultures, and practical examples of teams that thrive when people bring their whole selves to work.

Takeaway: leadership can be kind, heart-led, and high-performing—empower yourself and create space for others to do the same.

Hosts Jenna and Kelly read listener emails and give frank, funny advice on messy modern life — from ambiguous dating and knowing when someone is an option, to teaching daughters (and ourselves) to take up space, hating your job, church doubts, self-care vs. impulse spending, and missing past versions of yourself.

Honest, practical tips and no-permission-needed encouragement to reclaim your time, boundaries, and audacity.

Kelly & Jenna wrap up part 2 of their conversation with Chelsea, sharing honest, personal stories about deconstructing faith—tackling women's leadership in church, LGBTQ inclusion, the books and scholars that gave them language (hello, The Shack), and the emotional toll of leaving organized religion.

Compassionate and curious, this episode validates questioning believers, explores family and community tensions, and encourages embracing mystery and a new, personal form of spirituality.

Jenna and Kelly sit down with Chelsea Bawab — pole studio co-founder, mom, and friend — to explore the messy, honest process of questioning faith and rebuilding belief on your own terms.

They discuss Chelsea's new studio and nonprofit work, how they’re raising kids without insisting on certainty, and the hard conversations about doctrine, forgiveness, and what it means to be a moral person outside of strict religious rules.

Kelly & Jenna are back with part 2 of "Unwritten Contracts Effect" and guest co-host Shali to finish unpacking vulnerability, communication, and the hard work of asking for help. In this episode they talk about the danger of waiting for others to read your mind, why scheduling needs (yes, even sex) can help you be more spontaneous (oxymoronical sounding? Maybe...or is it?) parenting expectations (what we wanted as kids and how our kids probably don't want that thing, especially if we really overdo it to make up for what we didn't have...."why are you so embarrassing?"), and the value of using your words to get the care you need ("you have words...now go use them").

They also discuss how smoking can make your toes fall off so, this one's really jam-packed folks.

Kelly, Jenna, and guest co-host Shalimar unpack the unspoken agreements that sabotage relationships—romantic and platonic—and share honest, hilarious stories (including a pitchfork incident). They explore how assumptions, different love languages, and procrastination create resentments and offer practical ways to ask for what you need and set clearer expectations.

Listen for real-life examples, friendship/partner dynamics, and tips on communicating boundaries and timelines so you can stop rage-scrubbing and start being heard.

There was so much to say that there's a part 2 coming next week!!
