Today we sit down with the incomparable Kelly Blackheart — also known as Kelly Zabielski — whose journey is nothing short of fearless, hilarious, and wildly inspiring.
Kelly has lived multiple lives: from playing collegiate volleyball to working in renewable-energy finance, to acting in commercials and appearing on MTV… all before pivoting hard into comedy and podcasting.
She walks us through her time producing and appearing on The Jim Jefferies Podcast, working behind the scenes on I Don’t Know About That with Jim Jefferies, and hosting her longtime show The Unsolicited Podcast.
We also dive into her deeply personal journey as an egg donor, helping families grow and discovering new parts of herself along the way.
And of course — we talk about her newest creative adventure: Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ Qualls & Kelly — a chaotic, honest, unfiltered podcast that is already taking off.
This episode is full of big laughs, real talk, and the kind of heartfelt detours that make Kelly who she is. Buckle up, Conundrum Crew — this one’s a ride.
