The Audacity Effect | Strategies for the overqualified, undervalued, and completely fed up to finally make a change

Welcome to The Audacity Effect, the podcast for anyone who’s done asking for permission to build things that matter. We’re Jenna and Kelly: still in the corporate world, but not waiting for approval to do something bigger. We’re carving out space for more - on our own terms. This show was born from too many beige boardrooms, too many mediocre people stumbling upward, and too many late-night texts that started with, “Ok, but hear me out…” Whether you’re building a business, a farm, a second act, or just a better Tuesday - we see you. This is where strategy meets sarcasm. Real talk meets reinvention. Dogs may bark. Horses may neigh. We keep going. We’re building with Post-It Note precision, main character energy, and a very questionable sense of timing. And we know you’re right there with us. We’re here to normalize big pivots (mortgage broker? sure. podcast host? also yes), share tangible tools (like the best time to post a podcast and how to silence trauma-fueled self-doubt), and welcome every off-topic detour along the way because life is unpredictable, and podcasts should be too. You don’t need more credentials. You need more audacity. So if you’ve been waiting for someone to say, “You’re allowed”? You are. Now grab your coffee, open that Notes app, and bring a hammer. We’re making our own table—and we’re done playing it small. Meet your hosts: Kelly Lewis: Kelly is a storyteller with a steel spine and soft edges. She’s the voice of bold pivots, honest reflections, and the reminder that it’s never too late to start again.With deep roots in sales, nonprofit leadership, and business development, she’s built entire communities from scratch, and isn’t afraid to start over when something no longer fits. She’s here for the audacious moves, the real talk, and helping you build something that actually feels like you. Jenna Kaitbenski: Jenna is a strategist with rebel roots and a razor-sharp wit. She’s five-tab spreadsheets, dry one-liners, and the blueprint behind big ideas. With a background in corporate leadership and operations, she’s a master of making the complex feel doable. She’s who you call when you’ve got a ”crazy” idea, a blank slide, and no clue where to start, but also need a laugh to get you through it. Want more?
