EP 1: The Why Effect | Saying no to societal expectations, finding your why and living it on purpose

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!

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.
