In this episode of Living Boldly, How to Break Your Income Ceiling Without Burning Out, Kayla Hodges gets real about income plateaus, why “work harder” often makes things worse and why so many sales tactics were never designed with women in mind. From the male-dominated origins of modern sales to how women’s brains and bodies respond under pressure, Kayla explains why the grind leads to exhaustion instead of growth.

She shares her own story of hitting the same number month after month, stacking activity, and still feeling behind, then the shifts that created consistent revenue without sacrificing energy, boundaries, or joy.

How to Break Your Income Ceiling Without Burning Out

Living Boldly Podcast is weekly big sister advice on mastering influence, embracing your femininity, and handling any challenge that life throws your way 🧡

This week, I met with our client, Esther Loeffel.

Esther Löffel — known as Esthi — is an entrepreneur in high-ticket sales with Enagic. She’s a business mentor supporting women who are done playing small and ready to build aligned wealth, health, and freedom.

Starting her entrepreneurial journey in 2023, Esthi expanded beyond 1:1 work to build a holistic business that merges health, financial empowerment, and environmental impact.

Through Enagic and the Kangen Water business model, Esthi mentors women to create sustainable income, reclaim their health at a cellular level, and step into leadership without burning out or betraying themselves.

Her work is especially devoted to health-conscious women who want more than a job, more than a side hustle… women who want legacy.

Her mission is deeply personal: retiring her mother, breaking generational cycles, supporting animal sanctuaries, and proving that success can be built without manipulation, hustle culture, or sacrificing alignment.

Esthi leads with honesty, accountability, and heart, creating spaces where women are challenged to rise and supported to grow. 💫

Mastering Your Mind as a Woman in Sales with Esther Loeffel

Living Boldly Podcast is weekly big sister advice on mastering influence, embracing your femininity, and handling any challenge that life throws your way 🧡

This week, I met with our client Jenae Torrez, who turned her severe health issues into a mission-led business.

Before Jenae’s entrepreneurial journey, you could find her working as a server, model, in low-ticket sales, as a registered veterinary technician in oncology, and in over-the-phone triage. For a long time, Jenae felt lost in what she was meant to do.

In 2020, she became very sick and was diagnosed with Lupus, along with several other health challenges. During her journey, she overcame three hip surgeries, had her gallbladder removed, and underwent one femur surgery. Even more obstacles came her way, including five car accidents. Despite moments of doubt, she did not let a single thing stop her.

Jenae discovered a Japanese-based business in 2022 and went into remission just three months later. She has now been in remission for 3.5 years and helps others heal—whether that means rushing into hospitals, hosting in-person wellness events, or helping someone online wake up from what she calls “the matrix.”

Not only does she help others heal, but she also helps them create lives of freedom—spending time with who they want, when they want, and where they want—by guiding them to build their own at-home, high-ticket sales businesses.

By helping others, she’s building toward an even bigger mission. In the future, Jenae plans to create holistic elderly homes for those who can’t afford care—spaces where they can be comfortable, nourished with whole foods, and in sunlight every day.

Mastering the Resilient Mindset in Sales with Jenae Torrez

Living Boldly Podcast is weekly big sister advice on mastering influence, embracing your femininity, and handling any challenge that life throws your way 🧡

This week I met with one our clients Zara Kai, who is absolutely crushing it with her very own business in holistic health coaching.

Zara is a holistic health coach and wellness entrepreneur, known for leading with discipline, embodiment, and feminine flow. She began her transformation journey in 2023, committing to deep physical healing, weight loss, and gut health mastery she always knew she was meant to be seen and impactful—though the path wasn’t always clear.

With a background in Film, TV, acting. After stepping away from an unaligned direction, she chose to redirect her energy toward true healing and purpose. Through international travel to Colombia, certification in herbalism, and immersive study of Dr. Sebi’s alkaline lifestyle, she radically restored her health losing over 60 pounds in three months while cleansing and rebuilding her gut. This experience became the foundation of her work and continued study.

What began as personal transformation evolved into purpose-driven leadership. By documenting her journey online, she transitioned into coaching and mentoring women through gut health, weight loss, and lifestyle transformation turning lived experience into a scalable digital business. Committed to continual evolution, integrity, and impact, she is devoted to transforming her own life while helping women rise physically, mentally, and unapologetically into their highest potential.
