EP 11: The Church Effect with Chelsea Bawab - Pt 1 | Faith, religion & 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.

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.
