The Audacity Effect | Radical confidence, reinvention & ambition for women & people ready to build audacious careers, businesses & lives

Revisiting EP 16: The Comparison Effect | Stop shrinking, start shining — jealousy, confidence & female friendship

Kelly and Jenna get more rant-y than normal today (how is that possible? we're not sure but it happened so #thanksfordealing) as they 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.

In this episode, Jenna and Kelly break down all nine Enneagram types with real-life examples, hilarious confessions, and a few “oh… that explains everything” moments.

We also get into: ✨ How your Enneagram type shapes communication ✨ Why couples should know each other’s type (yes, it saves fights) ✨ How your childhood impacts your motivations ✨ Wings, stress behaviors, and the ✨fun✨ parts you may not want to admit ✨ What it looks like to grow past your type’s patterns ✨ Why emotional awareness + self-trust matter more than the number you get Whether you already know your type or you’re brand new to the Enneagram world, this episode gives you clarity, language, and tools to understand yourself — and the people you love — a whole lot better.

Revisiting EP 14: The "Girl Boss" Effect | Real empowerment, femininity in a masculine world, and revolting against the patriarchy

**This is a hot and relevant topic at the moment without our friend and work groups, so we decided it was the perfect episode to revisit this week. ** 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.

EP 38: The Hot Take Effect | If this offends you, then it was for you

What if you’re not overwhelmed… you’re just avoiding a decision? In this episode of The Audacity Effect, we introduce The Hot Take Effect — where we say the quiet part out loud. These are the opinions that might sting at first… but hit a little too close to home once you sit with them. We’re diving into unfiltered, “unhinged but true” takes like: * You’re not overwhelmed — you’re avoiding something important * You’re not stuck — you’re choosing the discomfort you know * “Low maintenance” isn’t a flex — it’s self-abandonment * Closure isn’t something you get — it’s something you give yourself * If no one knows what you do at work, you don’t deserve a promotion * Therapy only works if you stop using it as an excuse to stay the same * You’re not being triggered — you’re being shown something you don’t want to face This episode challenges the narratives we use to stay comfortable — and calls out the subtle ways we avoid responsibility, growth, and hard decisions. It’s direct. It’s a little aggressive. And it’s probably going to call you out at least once. If you’ve ever said: * “I’m overwhelmed” * “I feel stuck” * “I just need closure” * “This is just how I am” …this episode is for you. Welcome to The Hot Take Effect — where accountability replaces excuses, and growth starts getting honest.   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.

EP 37: The Familiarity Effect | Why we keep choosing the same people & repeating relationship patterns

Why do so many relationships feel different on the surface... but somehow end the same? In this episode of The Audacity Effect, Jenna and Kelly unpack attachment styles, childhood conditioning, emotional patterning, and why so many of us keep choosing people who feel familiar, even when familiar is not healthy. From anxious and avoidant attachment to abandonment wounds, overfunctioning in relationships, and the exhausting habit of trying to be “needed” in order to feel secure, this conversation gets honest about the relationship dynamics we repeat without always realizing it. They talk about: * why your brain can confuse familiar with safe * how childhood relationships shape adult romantic patterns * anxious vs. avoidant attachment dynamics * why some people keep choosing emotionally unavailable partners * the urge to fix, rescue, or over-contribute in love and friendship * how self-fulfilling beliefs like “I’m too much” affect connection * what it takes to recognize a pattern and finally break it This episode is for anyone who has ever looked back on a relationship, friendship, or recurring dynamic and thought: how did I end up here again? Because sometimes the issue is not that you are choosing the exact same person. It is that you are choosing the same emotional pattern in a different package.   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.
