   EP 39: The Goodbye Effect | When saying goodbye is also a just getting started

   The Audacity Effect is back for Season 2. Kelly records from her last night in the Virginia Beach home where the show started, and talks about leaving the city she’s called home for 30 years, moving into her dream house, and how excitement and melancholy can show up at the same time. Jenna shares how a horse’s surprise diagnosis taught her to stop chasing outcomes, and previews her new business, Stable Adjacent. We talk about grieving the life you planned, why being scared doesn’t mean you chose wrong, and why taking a break isn’t the same as quitting. If you’re in the middle of a move, a breakup, a career change, or any big pivot, this one’s for you.

   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.

   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.
