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

  • The Truth About Miscarriages, Pregnancy, and Making the Circumcision Choice

    The Truth About Miscarriages, Pregnancy, and Making the Circumcision Choice
    May 13 2025
    What if the moment you found out you were pregnant came with as much fear as joy? What if no one warned you about the physical trauma, the emotional weight, or the life-altering identity shift that comes with becoming a mother? In this raw and unfiltered episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, Kelly Renee shares the highs, lows, and wild moments of her motherhood journey. From military pregnancies that ended at 37 weeks to sprinting on a treadmill until her water broke, Kelly doesn’t hold back. She opens up about a 20-week ultrasound that suggested a possible Down syndrome diagnosis and the emotional pain of a miscarriage during her son’s high school football game. Then, there’s the circumcision conversation. Kelly chose not to circumcise her son, and years later, he was teased with the nickname "Jacob Foreskin." Her solution? A candid, graphic episode of Shameless to spark an open discussion. Kelly makes the case that parents should have honest, no-shame talks about body differences because kids notice and will eventually ask questions. Motherhood isn’t always pretty, but it’s always worth the truth. Kelly reminds us that tough, real conversations matter. Hit play for a refreshingly honest, relatable conversation, then share it with someone who needs to hear they’re not alone. Key Takeaways Pregnancy is more than baby bumps and joy.
