EP 24: The Resolution Effect | Reflections from 2025, intentions for 2026

It’s the weird “what day is it?” week between Christmas and New Year’s—and we’re using it exactly how it should be used: to reflect.

In this end-of-year wrap episode, Jenna and Kelly talk through what 2025 actually felt like (spoiler: a lot of rest, nervous system regulation, and learning to trust ourselves). We share what we’re leaving behind, what we’re proud of, what we’re carrying into 2026, and the words/themes guiding the next season—without turning it into a highlight reel or a hustle pep talk.

If you’ve been craving a quieter kind of growth, this one will feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode:

• The “Twilight Zone” week between Christmas + New Year’s

• Rest as an active, intentional choice (not laziness)

• Listening to intuition and getting unapologetic about it

• Letting go of over-explaining, guilt, and measuring worth by output

• Body trust, movement, and healing your relationship with “rest days”

• The proud moments you forget until you slow down (and yes—driving a 26-ft horse trailer counts)

• Why you should use your PTO like you use your health insurance

• Your 2026 word/theme: momentum, intuition, and trusting your pace

Question for you: What are you leaving behind? What are you proud of? What’s your word for 2026?

🎧 New here? The Audacity Effect is bold moves, real talk, and zero permission slips—helping you build a bigger life on your terms.

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.
