When most people think of sales, they picture pressure, quotas, and pushy tactics. But sales isn’t just about business, it’s about how we connect, serve, negotiate, and navigate conflict in every part of our lives.

In this episode, Kathy Baldwin speaks with Kirstin Carey about redefining sales as service. Together, they blend the principles of Unlearn the Crap with a human-centered approach to sales focusing on integrity, connection, and building businesses that last.

Kathy draws from her own corporate background in sales and operations, where she believed her role in management was to serve her team so they could show up as their best. That perspective shapes this conversation on how sales can become less about transactions and more about transformation.

Whether you’re building a business, negotiating in your daily life, or simply learning how to better connect with others, this episode will shift the way you think about sales forever.

🎙️ Key Highlights

• Guest’s “Crap to Unlearn:” The world taught her to serve; her soul asked her to receive. People-pleasing, over-giving, and ignoring her own boundaries were glamorized—until she learned to lead her inner system (think: parts, beliefs, nervous system) and run a business from wholeness, not urgency.

• Kathy’s Tie-In: Kathy connects this to unlearning conditioned responses that keep women hustling for validation—then rebuilding success on aligned habits, self-trust, and clean systems.

• Context: We touch on Internal Family Systems (IFS) ideas and why inner self-leadership is the missing operational backbone for sustainable entrepreneurship.

• Relatable Signs & Patterns: Chronic burnout, resentment after “doing everything right,” fuzzy boundaries, under-pricing, perfectionism, stop-start marketing, and “I’ll rest when…” loops.

• Myths We Bust: “Service means self-sacrifice,” “Hustle is the only path,” “Emotions don’t belong in business,” and “Strong women don’t need help.”

• Action Step: Start an Inner System Audit: identify your over-functioning parts (the Saver, the Hustler, the Pleaser), give them new roles, and make one boundary or pricing upgrade this week.

💡 Memorable Quotes

• Dr. Neela: “We have to know that the Self lives within us—our parts aren’t bad; they just need leadership.”

• Dr. Neela: “You can’t hand someone a tactic and ignore how their parts will react to it.”

• Dr. Neela: “A sign of strength is facing what you couldn’t access before and giving it a role that serves you.”

• Kathy: “It’s not you that’s broken—it’s the conditioning you’re unlearning so your genius can lead.”

• Kathy: “When you build from alignment, your business becomes sustainable—and your life gets bigger.”

Feeling tired, wired, and stuck, even when you’re “doing everything right”?

🎙️ Key Highlights

• Guest’s Crap to Unlearn: “Calories in/calories out fixes everything.” Amanda dismantles the myth that willpower + workouts are enough when hormones, gut, and nervous system are running the show.

• Crap to Unlearn: Nikky challenges the “good girl” programming and reveals how deeply it’s tied to digestive dysfunction, emotional suppression, and burnout.

• Kathy's Reflection: Kathy connects the dots between her own digestive shutdowns and the pressure to keep up appearances. Her body was trying to tell the truth her mouth wouldn’t speak.

• Fascinating Gut Fact: Your gut produces over 90% of the body’s serotonin—meaning poop is emotional. Literally. And constipation is often energetic.

• Relatable Signs: Chronic constipation, gut issues, bloating, shame around bodily functions, “holding it all in” emotionally and physically

• Myths Debunked:

  • “Good girls don’t talk about poop”

  • Digestive issues are just physical

  • You can heal emotionally without addressing the gut

  • Women’s bodies should be quiet, contained, and controlled

• Guest’s Wisdom Nugget: “Your body doesn’t lie. If you’re backed up emotionally, you’re probably backed up physically too.”

From Nikky Golly:

• "I became the poop queen because I stopped being ashamed of what every body does."

• "Success without alignment is just burnout in a prettier outfit—with IBS."

• "Your gut is your second brain, and it’s screaming when your mouth won’t."

• "When I started pooping regularly, I also started telling the truth."

• "We’re emotionally constipated and spiritually starved—and it shows in our digestion."

From Kathy Baldwin:

• "We don’t just unlearn beliefs—we unlearn where we’ve been stuck in the body."

• "Healing my gut was the beginning of reclaiming my voice."

• "I had to stop trying to look like I had it all together while my insides were screaming."
