EP 19: The Friendship Effect | Real talk on female friendship, boundaries, and letting go
Manage episode 521162029 series 3678535
Friendship breakups hurt — sometimes more than romantic ones.
In this episode of The Audacity Effect, Kelly and Jenna dive into the emotional labor, loyalty, and unspoken grief that happens when female friendships shift, fade, or fall apart.
They talk about the friendships we outgrow, the ones we hold onto because of “potential,” the guilt of pulling away, and why honest conversations with our girlfriends feel harder than conflict with a partner. They cover red flags, ghosting, boundaries, emotional safety, reciprocity, and what it actually looks like to protect your peace without abandoning the people who matter.
If you’ve ever struggled to let go of a friend, felt confused by a slow fade, or wondered why women don’t talk about friendship loss the way we talk about romantic endings—this episode is for you.
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.
