EP 3: The Shrinking Effect | How women and others can start showing up without apologizing and all the confidence

This is the one you've been waiting for ya'll- it's the "little blue pill" for life episode.  Hosts Jenna and Kelly explore the theme of 'shrinking' this week and how women unconsciously limit themselves due to societal expectations. This episode dives into how women are influenced to shrink in various aspects of life - from the workplace to personal relationships - and the impact it has on their confidence and potential.

Kelly and Jenna share personal anecdotes and statistics, breaking down stereotypes and unpacking the importance of embracing one's true self. They urge listeners to reclaim their authenticity, confront the pressures of diet culture, and be vocal about their achievements.

This empowering conversation encourages women to challenge the status quo, redefine gender roles, and provides strategies to help listeners say no to societal demands that dampen their 'audacity effect.' Discover the liberation that comes from rejecting the mold and daring to take up space. 

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.
