Kelly and Jenna get more rant-y than normal today (how is that possible? we're not sure but it happened so #thanksfordealing) as they dig into the "comparison effect" — how measuring yourself against friends and peers quietly erodes confidence and connection. Through honest stories they explore jealousy, projection, and the trap of social media highlight reels. They share practical ways to respond: reflect on what you really want, ask for help or inspiration, stop dimming your light for others, and use comparison as data instead of a weapon. The episode is a frank, funny call to celebrate each other and stay in your lane.   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.
