How to Break Your Income Ceiling Without Burning Out

In this episode of the Living Boldly Podcast, Kayla Hodges breaks down the truth about why traditional sales training leaves women burned out, broke, and doubting themselves. From the history of sales being designed by men for men to the neuroscience of how women’s brains actually work under pressure, Kayla exposes why selling like a man is the fastest road to exhaustion.

She shares her own story of grinding in high-stress sales environments, the biology behind why women burn out faster, and how shifting into a feminine, brain-based sales style changed everything.

You’ll learn:

💡 The real reason old school sales tactics trigger fight-or-flight in your prospects
💡 How women’s brains and bodies respond differently to stress than men’s
💡 Why intuition, layered questions, and connection are your hidden superpowers
💡 How the RED method flips objections into opportunities without pressure
💡 Why building community and skill mastery is non-negotiable for women in sales

Plus, Kayla gives you her big sister advice on blending hustle with soft life, showing you how to work more, earn more, and still feel grounded at the end of the day.

If you’ve ever wondered why sales feels so heavy or questioned if you’re even cut out for it, this episode will prove that you’re not broken. You’ve just been taught the wrong way.
