Comedian, actress, and entrepreneur Kelly Kellz joins Alexandria & Jordan for a soul-filling conversation on calling, confidence, and building a legacy with laughter. A Milwaukee native and former teacher, Kelly shares how she walked out on faith, scaled her career with her husband-manager, and uses comedy as a tool for healing and empowerment. We go deep on supportive partnerships, being authentically yourself in rooms that want “cookie-cutter,” and what it means to build legacy for our kids.

We also talk about Kelly’s new film Toxic FriendZ (now streaming on Amazon Prime & Tubi) and her show/podcast work, plus the moment she knew she’d “made it.” If you need a reminder that bigger is possible, this one’s it.

In this episode:

• Leaving the classroom for the stage—on purpose and with faith
• Silent leadership & why support is real leadership in partnership
• Thick-girl confidence & rejecting “cookie-cutter” beauty standards
• Turning comedy into ministry: laughs as medicine
• Legacy for our kids and building “trust babies”
• Producing a feature film and shifting behind the camera
• The power of curating connection experiences vs. “networking”
