  • Collagen, Patches, and Cheat Days: Health Hacks That Actually Work

    Collagen, Patches, and Cheat Days: Health Hacks That Actually Work
    Sep 2 2025
    What happens when the competition lights fade, and real life sets back in? In this episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, Kelly Renee opens up about her journey eight weeks post-show, the highs, the struggles, and the lessons she’s learning while navigating health, aging, and balance. From gaining back weight after competition prep to experimenting with wellness products that support recovery and skin health, Kelly gives an unfiltered look at what it really takes to maintain results, age gracefully, and stay consistent without losing yourself. This episode is packed with raw honesty, practical tips, and real-life stories from cheat-day bundt cakes to collagen and stem cell patches that prove fitness isn’t just about how you look on stage, but how you live every single day. Key Takeaways Post-show recovery means weight gain, hormone changes, and a mindset shift. Aging well isn’t luck; it’s about proactively supporting your body with nutrition, supplements, and hydration. Consistency in nutrition (calories + macros) matters more than perfection. Investing in wellness tools (patches, collagen, alkaline water) can improve recovery, energy, and skin health. Muscle building requires fuel; don’t fear eating more when the goal is growth. Fitness is a lifelong process: track your progress, keep learning, and give yourself grace.

    Aug 26 2025

In this episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, Kelly Renee shares the raw truth about building and losing a business with her husband.

  • The Silent Betrayal That Left Me Drowning in Family Drama

    The Silent Betrayal That Left Me Drowning in Family Drama
    Aug 19 2025
    They say blood is thicker than water, but what happens when your own blood leaves you drowning? If you've ever felt more seen by a coworker than by your sibling… more supported by a friend than your parent… you're not alone. In this episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, Kelly Renee shares a family betrayal that forced her to draw a hard line. Her father and sister took her 17-year-old son to get a COVID vaccine behind her back and paid him to do it. It wasn’t about the vaccine. It was about trust, control, and years of ignored boundaries coming to the surface. When Kelly confronted her sister, hoping for a real conversation, she was met with cold dismissal. That response said everything. She talks openly about what it’s like to grow up being pushed aside, talked over, and excluded. Since her mom passed, that distance has only grown. Her dad, sister, and brother still meet up. She’s usually left out. Her mom was the one person holding things together. Without her, the cracks widened. Even now, the patterns continue. Passive-aggressive comments, badmouthing behind her back, and now, using her son to go around her. Kelly is done trying to fix what doesn’t want to be fixed. She is choosing self-respect over forced connection. If you’ve ever felt isolated in your own family or questioned your place in it, this episode will hit home. Key Takeaways Just because you're strong doesn’t mean you don’t want to be cared for Passive-aggressive behavior is still emotional abuse You don’t have to keep chasing a connection with people who hurt you Support can come from friends and strangers sent by God, not always blood Speaking your truth breaks cycles of silence and shame In This Episode (00:36) A betrayal involving her son’s COVID shot (03:50) Boundary violations and family gaslighting (06:25) Feeling unsupported during health struggles (09:40) Paying family for help: love vs. obligation (12:35) Being emotionally independent since childhood (14:18) Social media shade and public criticism (16:05) Her son standing up to family toxicity (17:40) Finding peace through acceptance and letting go Notable Quotes (02:01) "I called my sister and I said, what is this I'm hearing about you taking Jacob to get a Covid shot? And she goes, well, if you were a better parent, I wouldn't have to take him to get it." — Kelly Renee (04:26) "I'm sick of lighting myself on fire to keep other people warm, or I'm sick of trying to chase approval or relationship. No one gives a shit about me." — Kelly Renee (10:36) "You don't have to be close to your family to be a good person. Some people you're just not meant to get along with." — Kelly Renee (11:00) “They say sometimes, God will send strangers in your life to support you because your family doesn't.”— Kelly Renee (16:10) "It's just sad that a 22-year-old has to talk to a grown adult saying, 'Please don't make fun of my mom when I'm here. It upsets me.”— Kelly Renee (17:53) "For all those people who have difficult family dynamics, don't let it define you. Don't feel bad that you don't get along with your family." — Kelly Renee Resources and Links Fiercely Unfiltered Fiercely Unfiltered with Kelly Renee Kelly Renee Instagram Facebook Website
