About this listen

 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 Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

    A Matter of Time: Shining Light on EB
    Jul 15 2025
    What if your touch caused someone pain? What if a simple hug could tear skin? In this deeply personal and emotional episode, Kelly Renee shares the raw truth about Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). A rare, devastating skin disorder known as “Butterfly Skin.” After witnessing her own nephew battle this cruel disease, Kelly takes us through her journey from helplessness to activism and sheds light on a fight too few know about, but none should ignore. Along the way, she brought in longtime friend Jill Vedder, wife of Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, whose involvement helped amplify the cause and bring greater visibility to the EB community. This episode isn’t just about raising awareness; it’s about hope, legacy, and the fierce determination to never give up, even when the timeline stretches longer than you hoped. Key Takeaways What EB is and why it's so urgent that more people know How a personal plea turned into a $70M+ movement The heartbreaking daily reality for children living with EB Why visibility, funding, and research still matter now more than ever A behind-the-scenes look at A Matter of Time, the new EB documentary Why some patients are sacrificing their own comfort to give younger generations hope In This Episode (00:01) Introduction to Fiercely Unfiltered (00:40) Introducing Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) (01:16) Personal family story: discovering EB (02:25) Seeking help and starting a foundation (03:27) The reality of living with EB (04:27) Daily care and parental challenges (05:41) Progress and hope for a cure (06:56) Eddie and Jill Vedder’s involvement (08:06) Symbolism and personal motivation (09:11) Documentary impact and ongoing struggles (10:25) Financial and medical burdens of EB (11:32) Gratitude and closing thanks Notable Quotes [02:25] "I need you to make a difference.

  • I’m Single, Not Broken: The Truth Society Won’t Tell You

    I’m Single, Not Broken: The Truth Society Won’t Tell You
    Jul 8 2025
    How long is too long to be single? After two divorces and heartbreak, Kelly Renee is embracing the chapter many fear most: life on her own terms, without the pressure to find "the one." In this episode, Kelly shares what it really means to be single by choice, by circumstance, and without apology. Nearly three years into singleness, she’s rewriting the outdated narrative that a woman’s worth depends on her relationship status. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t. Kelly reflects on how this season has brought peace, growth, and self-discovery. From unsolicited opinions to dodging DMs, she unpacks the realities of dating (or not dating) in your 40s and why she refuses to trade freedom for forced connection. This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about choosing yourself, protecting your energy, setting high standards, and knowing your worth. If you’ve ever felt pressured to "partner up" or questioned your timeline, Kelly’s story is a reminder: building your best life starts with you. Key Takeaways The freedom that comes with choosing yourself first Why being single isn't a flaw, it’s a season for growth Setting boundaries: protecting your peace and energy How society pressures women into relationships—and why it’s okay to say no The myth that your life only starts when you "find someone" Dating, sex, and self-respect: where Kelly stands now In This Episode (00:40) How long is too long to be single?

I’m not dating because I don’t want to." — Kelly Renee [03:20] "Relationships, in my view right now, are a waste of time and energy. Like, you don't know what the other person's ever thinking. You don't know if they're lying to you. Your whole relationship and all the effort you're putting into something can be gone in a second." — Kelly Renee [03:50] "I have my own foundation. I'm not waiting for someone else to help me build my foundation." — Kelly Renee [06:01] "Let's stop letting little girls think that they have to just grow up and meet a man, and then that's their life. That doesn't have to be your life, and that should not be your life." — Kelly Renee Resources and Links Fiercely Unfiltered Fiercely Unfiltered with Kelly Renee Kelly Renee Instagram Facebook Website
