The Lionesses set out to inspire the nation and are proud that they achieved that.
Kelly's celebration after scoring the winner against Germany in extra time at Wembley on Sunday has become an icon.
Kelly wants football to be more accessible.
She told the radio station that she hoped people would now see it as just football.
Everyone loves the game and we are enjoying ourselves.
This summer has been great for women's empowerment and has shaped the future for us.
The Manchester City forward thanked the players who paved the way for this England side and said is it now their turn to shape the future for the next generation
The Women's Super League will kick off in September and Kelly wants fans to watch it.
She pointed to the Women's FA Cup final in which her Manchester City side played at the same time as their male counterparts.
"Not having games at the same time as men's, where it clashes and a fan has to decide between what game they are watching is the biggest thing for me," she said.
More than 60,000 tickets have been sold for the Lionesses' game against the USA at Wembley.
Following a report that claimed 44% of secondary schools in England offer girls equal access to football in PE lessons, Kelly also hopes England's success can be a turning point.
She played cage football with her five brothers and their friends at a young age.
Kelly said that it's important for young girls to be comfortable in an environment like that.
There will be a big change from this summer. If we can make a change, that is huge. Girls being able to do what they want, no matter what the quality is.
Mary Earps said: "I'm getting so many messages from people saying how great it was and how their daughter especially, but sons too are in the garden practicing their goalkeeping."
That is what we would like. Girls should have access. Everyone wants to play football.
Earps said that football should be on the curriculum and that she was fortunate to attend a school that was facilitating.
The 29-year-old told the radio station that he was quite stubborn. Girls and boys played different sports, which were seen as more "feminine"
The women can do what they want. People have put us in boxes and moulds for a long time. We can achieve a lot.
The turning point from this tournament is to make sure these girls have access for the rest of their lives.
The image of Kelly ripping off her shirt after scoring the winning goal evoked memories of the 1999 World Cup final between the US and China.
The moment has caused a spike in sports bra sales according to Kelly.
Kelly said that every woman's footballer knows of that moment. It's huge for women, it's huge for women in sport, and I'm really excited for what the future holds for women in sport.
The team has been incredible this summer and I enjoyed every moment because it is such a special group.
The sports bra sales are going through the roof. What women can do is shown by that.
We set out to inspire the nation this summer and I am very proud to be a part of that group. It's possible to dream big.
