EP 27: The Competence Effect | When you're successful but still feeling stuck

Описание: You’re capable. Dependable. Successful on paper.

So why do you feel stuck?



In this episode of The Audacity Effect, Jenna and Kelly talk about a rarely discussed experience among high performers: being good at a lot of things but fulfilled by none of them.



This isn’t burnout. It’s not failure. It’s the competence trap—when reliability turns into obligation, and success becomes a cage.



We unpack:




•


Why high achievers struggle most to make changes




•


The difference between restlessness and dissatisfaction




•


How being “the dependable one” quietly costs you fulfillment




•


Why gratitude and ambition can coexist




•


How to start making micro changes when you don’t know what the big change is yet






If you’ve ever thought, “Nothing is wrong… so why does this still feel wrong?” — this episode is for you.



Because just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it gets to keep you forever.

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.
