I've been holding onto stories, truths, and lessons that deserve to be shared - not just for me, but for anyone who needs to hear them. Sometimes the hardest stories to tell are the ones that hold the most power. They're raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically real. That's what Fiercely Unfiltered is all about— creating a space where vulnerability meets strength, where silence is replaced with courage, and where every story is told with purpose. This isn't just a podcast. It's a conversation. It's healing. It's growth.© Fiercely Unfiltered | 2025 | All Rights Reserved Desarrollo Personal Higiene y Vida Saludable Psicología Psicología y Salud Mental Éxito Personal

  • Why ‘Normal’ Is a Lie and How It Nearly Destroyed Me

    Why ‘Normal’ Is a Lie and How It Nearly Destroyed Me
    Jul 29 2025
    What does "normal" even mean, and why do we destroy ourselves trying to achieve it? In this episode, Kelly Renee exposes the universal ache of not belonging through two defining chapters of her life: a reckless teenage search for acceptance and an adult relapse into addiction while grieving her mother's death. The episode begins with a haunting poem 17-year-old Kelly wrote about four girls, Kim, Julie, Sarah, and Jean, each using drugs, eating disorders, or self-harm to cope with invisible pain. Decades later, Kelly recognizes herself in all of them. With unflinching honesty, she traces how her own teenage rebellion (meth for breakfast, weed for bed) and later cocaine use during her mother's illness were misguided attempts to numb the same core wound: feeling like she never fit in. But this isn't just a story of addiction; it's a roadmap for radical self-acceptance. Kelly reveals how fitness and faith became her lifelines, why she refuses to shrink herself for others' comfort, and how our deepest pains can forge our greatest strengths. Key Takeaways Everyone battles internal struggles, no matter how "put together" they seem on the outside. Drugs, alcohol, and unhealthy habits only temporarily numb deeper issues. Your circle matters: who you hang out with can influence your coping mechanisms. Self-awareness and owning your "addictive personality" can help you avoid future pitfalls. Growth comes from facing your pain, not running from it. Positive outlets like fitness, faith, and self-reflection can replace destructive behaviors. Embracing who you are, scars and all, is the ultimate strength.

  • Why Confidence Crumbles Before Puberty Even Starts

    Why Confidence Crumbles Before Puberty Even Starts
    Jul 22 2025
    Did you know that many girls as young as nine struggle with body image? In this episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, host Kelly Renee dives deep into the hidden scars we carry, not the ones you can see, but the emotional ones that quietly shape how we see ourselves. From her own memories of feeling different in fifth grade to her guilt as a parent navigating her son’s painful struggle with acne, Kelly explores how early comparisons, body image, and societal expectations plant seeds of self-doubt far too young. She doesn’t just speak from experience; she speaks with brutal honesty about what it’s like to grow up feeling out of sync with your body and how those insecurities evolve as we age. Kelly reflects on the judgment we face, sometimes even from ourselves, and how we can reclaim our power by showing up, choosing self-compassion, and not letting other people’s opinions define us. Whether you’re a late bloomer, a parent, or just someone who’s ever looked in the mirror and wished for “more,” this episode is a raw reminder that everyone carries unseen pain, and it’s never too late to embrace your worth. Because at the end of the day? The fiercest thing you can be… is unapologetically you. Key Takeaways How confidence struggles start early, often in elementary school The decision I made for my son that still haunts me, and what it taught me Girls are taught to compare before they even understand their worth Boys battle invisible insecurities too, just in silence Confidence is built by doing what you said you'd do You’ll never be too much for the right people, stop shrinking to fit in In This Episode (00:01) Introduction & invisible pain (01:11) Puberty & early body image struggles (02:20) Late development & boys’ challenges (04:13) Parental guilt & societal pressure (05:18) How comparison starts young (06:35) Coping mechanisms & adult self-acceptance (07:51) Combating negative self-talk (08:59) Changing bodies & childhood awkwardness (10:22) Embracing uniqueness & building confidence (11:28) Dealing with criticism & self-belief (12:31) Parenting, mistakes, & empathy (13:40) Universal struggles & perspective on pain (15:02) Gratitude for struggles & resilience (16:05) Kindness, non-judgment, & closing Notable Quotes [05:08] "It's sad that we always want what we don't have. People with big boobs want little boobs. Tall people wish they were shorter. People with thin hair wish they had thick hair." — Kelly Renee [05:41] "They say 90% of females in the world are unhappy and wish they could change something about their body. And girls as young as nine years old have confidence and self-body issues." — Kelly Renee [08:56] "I wish this was a class they taught in school. Self-confidence, comparison, and being happy with the body you live in." — Kelly Renee [04:48] "It's sad how in society your confidence is shaken before you even know what confidence is." — Kelly Renee [10:39] "If people say, 'I've never met anyone like you,' take it as a compliment." — Kelly Renee [12:19] "You're never going to be like everyone else. God created us all different for reasons. So lean into your superpowers, lean into who you are and be the best person you can be." — Kelly Renee Resources and Links Fiercely Unfiltered Fiercely Unfiltered with Kelly Renee Kelly Renee Instagram Facebook Website
