Ya'll. We're keeping it real like always and admitting that the holiday season and frozen farms and pipes got our goats - yep, we didn't have an AC worthy new episode to share this week. So in honor of New Years and the accompanying resolutions, we're re-sharing our very first episode as a good reminder to check your WHY. And we PROMISE to bring you the juiciest batch of episodes next week like usual!

__________________________________________________________

Welcome to The Audacity Effect, where hosts Kelly and Jenna share their journeys of moving from secure corporate paths to embracing bold, new adventures. This episode dives into their personal stories of evolving career choices, the courage to say 'no' to societal expectations, and the transformational power of knowing your 'why'. Whether it's starting anew, pursuing passions, or finding humor in life's audacious moments, Jenna and Kelly offer relatable anecdotes and strategies to inspire listeners to live on their own terms. Join the conversation, explore your potential, and ignite a spark of boldness in your life. Ready to get audacious?

Listen as they discuss overcoming fears, setting new intentions, and why sometimes leaving comfort zones leads to the most rewarding experiences. Hint: it's not facilitating small talk with people while waxing their parts, but it may involve positions such as Residential Disposal Solutions Architect (aka a garbageman) or Director of Domestic Aquatic Infrastructure and Waste Management Solutions (aka a plumber).

With a blend of humor and insightful conversations, this episode is a guide to discovering the freedom in saying no to what's not serving you and yes to the path that aligns with your true self. Don't miss out on the laughter, eye rolls, and the little nuggets of wisdom that could change your perspective. Get ready to be inspired!

The holidays are marketed as “magical,” but for so many of us they feel like a full-time job layered with family expectations, emotional flashbacks, and gift-giving guilt. In this episode, Jenna and Kelly dive into The Holiday Boundary Effect—how to protect your peace, release old “shoulds,” and create traditions that actually serve you.

We cover:

• How family gatherings can trigger childhood roles (even when you’re now a full-grown adult with a mortgage and back pain)
• Why setting boundaries—travel, time, housing, conversations—isn’t rude, it’s healthy
• What to do about that family member who still drains you (Aunt Peony, we’re looking at you)
• How to avoid holiday overstimulation when your family is “a lot” in the best and worst ways
• Creating holiday traditions that feel good now, not just ones you inherited
• Navigating gift-giving pressure, gift guilt, and the idea of a no-gift year
• The beauty of chosen family, open-door holidays, and building celebrations that reflect who you are today

If the holidays bring up stress, old wounds, or just way too many casseroles…this episode gives you permission to reset, redefine, and reclaim the season.

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. From the achiever who overworks to feel valued, to the loyalist who plans for every worst-case scenario, to the enthusiast who avoids emotional heaviness like it’s their job… we’re calling ourselves out right alongside you.

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.

Find your type. Drag your partner into it. Force your coworkers to take it. We won’t judge.

Friendship breakups hurt — sometimes more than romantic ones. In this episode of The Audacity Effect, Kelly and Jenna dive into the emotional labor, loyalty, and unspoken grief that happens when female friendships shift, fade, or fall apart.

They talk about the friendships we outgrow, the ones we hold onto because of “potential,” the guilt of pulling away, and why honest conversations with our girlfriends feel harder than conflict with a partner. They cover red flags, ghosting, boundaries, emotional safety, reciprocity, and what it actually looks like to protect your peace without abandoning the people who matter.

If you’ve ever struggled to let go of a friend, felt confused by a slow fade, or wondered why women don’t talk about friendship loss the way we talk about romantic endings—this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Audacity Effect, Kelly and Jenna talk about the complicated, uncomfortable reality of giving too much of yourself at work — and what happens when a workplace or a boss takes far more than they deserve.

They talk about the difference between leaders and bosses, why work loyalty is transactional, and how easy it is to confuse professional validation with personal worth. They talk about corporate jealousy, emotional labor, the sting of feeling undervalued, and the wake-up call that comes when someone at work finally shows you who they are.

They also talk about purpose — how it feels to work in alignment with it, how to protect it, and why living in your purpose makes some people deeply uncomfortable. They break down boundaries, overgiving, free labor disguised as “opportunity,” and the uncomfortable shift from giving 3000% to giving exactly what you’re paid for.

If you’ve ever been hurt by a coworker, blindsided by a boss, or confused about how much of your energy a workplace deserves, this episode will hit home.

In this raw and deeply personal episode of The Audacity Effect, Jenna and Kelly talk about the breakups that change you — especially divorce — and the emotional, spiritual, and practical unraveling that happens when you finally choose yourself.

They talk about what it feels like to be “done” long before a marriage officially ends, the fear of disappointing your faith community and your family, and the guilt women carry for leaving relationships that are emotionally unsafe. They talk about manipulation, survival mode, losing everything, starting over with nothing, and the complicated gratitude that only comes years after the pain.

They also talk about the shame, the self-blame, the trauma residue, the early therapy sessions, the depressive episodes, and the moment you realize you only have one guaranteed relationship in your life: you and you, till death do you part.

This episode is vulnerable, honest, messy, and full of hope. If you’ve ever left a relationship, questioned your identity, struggled with guilt, or wondered who you might become if you finally choose you — this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

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.

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.
