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.

In this episode of Closing Deals in Heels, we’re unpacking something that doesn’t get talked about enough - the pressure women feel to prove themselves in male-dominated spaces, and what it really takes to rewrite that story with power, presence, and purpose.

Maddie Sells didn’t plan on going into sales. She was on the path to become a doctor - driven by a deep desire to help and heal. But somewhere along the way, she realized the system wasn’t the only way to make an impact. So she pivoted. Hard. And what followed was a full identity shift - from people-pleasing pre-med student, to ethical sales leader closing high-ticket deals while staying completely in integrity.

This episode is for the women who feel stuck between who they were told to be… and who they know they’re meant to become. Maddie opens up about the dark side of sales culture, how she rebuilt her confidence after manipulation and burnout, and why learning to trust herself was the skill that changed everything.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong in the room, whether you’re "too sensitive" for sales, or whether integrity and success can actually coexist - this one is for you. Because Maddie isn’t just building a name in this industry. She’s rewriting the rules.

It’s time we sell differently.
