The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

Spend five minutes on Instagram, and you'll get a message about something else you need to fix. Buy this hair curler, get these sneakers, and starting tomorrow morning, drink the water, get the sleep, and be the best at everything you do all the time. It's exhausting, and honestly, it makes us feel terrible. Who can change that many things at once? I'm Sarah Walton, a wealth consciousness coach an...

So many of us have read the books, taken the courses, and really tried to put it all into practice. Over time, maybe one or two things sort of stick. Then you forget them and catch yourself saying, "Oh, God, I know better than this." It's so annoying. If you've been wondering what a girl's got to do to get something to actually stick, you're going to love this episode. I'm Sarah Walton, a wealth c...

I talk all the time about how the pathways to wealth are always here. We just don't always see them. And by wealth, I don't only mean money. I mean loving what you do, letting your heart be full, and living a life that's true to you. This conversation is packed with evidence of how real those pathways are. I'm sitting down with Debi Hemmeter, president of the Inner Mountain Foundation and co-found...

There's a specific feeling that hits about 45 seconds after something great happens. You have a great launch, reach a new milestone, or get a raise, and almost right away, your brain starts asking, "What now? Was this enough?" I see it in every single woman I coach. Recently, I realized how much of it was running inside me, too. On this solo episode of the Game On Girlfriend® podcast, I'm giving t...

Some people just make us feel calm. You call them when you're upset, you love being in their presence, and you keep going back for their advice because they feel so wise and so joyful to be around. If those are your people, you're going to love my conversation with Charlotte Jukes. She's one of my favorite people to be with, and there's so much going on right now that a lot of us could use a littl...

If you run a business, you have to know how to sell — and yet so many of us do this thing I call the mom voice the second it's time to say a price out loud. Something like, "It's $300," in this careful, coaxing tone, like we're convincing a kid to tie their shoes. Meanwhile we're talking to a fully capable adult who actually wants to work with us. This week I'm joined by Nikki Rausch, a sales stra...

My guest this week had a childhood nickname: Muscles. She wasn't the smallest kid on the block, but she could always outrun the boys and knock a softball clean out of the park. Somewhere along the way, that name got buried — and stayed that way for decades. Mary Ellen Loranger is a 56-year-old entrepreneur, author, and wellness leader who's spent the past eight years, alongside her husband Wayne,...

My guest this week spent forty years studying death — first as a pathologist doing autopsies, later coaching people from inside her own pathology office. What she found in that work wasn't morbid. She found more life force in the morgue than she usually found walking around on an ordinary day, and that contradiction sent her looking for why. Sabine O'Laughlin calls what she found the mother line:...

Lindsey Busfield's resume doesn't look like it belongs to one person. Starbucks barista. English teacher. Auditor of Amish chicken barns. Now she's the vice president of one of the country's top legal marketing firms. None of it was the plan. For years, Lindsey figured she'd eventually run her own business, the same way her entrepreneurial parents had. Then a two-day aptitude test told her somethi...

Most of us think certainty means confidence — that bold, "everything always works out for me" kind of energy. It doesn't. Confidence is built on evidence: you earn it by looking back at what you've already proven. Certainty is different. It's a deep inner knowing you can access before you have any proof at all, and it's one of the most important skills for building a genuinely wealthy life — not j...

Roberta Ravella spent 25 years in mortgage origination. She was good at it. She was also, by her own account, a classic case of burnout. She tried coaching. She tried marketing. She even opened an AI business with a friend. Two months in, something in her said no, and she couldn't push past it the way she used to. So she stopped. Her mentor sent her on a six-week break with one rule: shut it all o...

Most of us don't actually have trouble making money. It's the keeping of it — the receiving of it — that's the problem. If you added up how much money has passed through your hands over your lifetime, the number would probably surprise you. It comes in, you manage it, you pay bills, and then it's "gone," so you never really see how much you're circulating. That's not a money-making problem. That's...

For years, Abi Horton believed real estate investing wasn't for her. Not enough money, not enough experience, not the right background. So she stayed on the sidelines and told herself it was something for later. Then things shifted, not through one big moment, but through a lot of small, unplanned ones. Voice acting taught her she was capable of running a business. That confidence opened a door sh...

Some days you do everything right, and by 3 p.m. you're still completely wiped out. That's not burnout from working too hard. It's the specific exhaustion of doing tasks that were never yours to carry in the first place. In this solo episode, I walk through the exact questions I ask my own clients when they tell me they should be further along by now, or that something feels harder for them than i...

Most of us have been told, at some point or another, to just be happy. Just let it go. Just choose joy. And if you've tried that and found it completely unhelpful, you are in very good company. Dr. Peggy DeLong is back on the podcast for her third visit, and what she shares in this episode about how to increase your capacity for happiness is not what most people are teaching. It's not about ignori...

Some women market without even trying, and their posts land, their emails get opened, their offers sell. Meanwhile, you're doing all the right things and still hearing crickets. The difference usually isn't talent. It's whether you've actually mapped your customer journey. In episode 336, I released a free lesson from my signature program, Effortless Sales, and the response was so strong that I wa...

Most of us grip tighter when life feels uncertain. We work harder, plan more, and try to control everything within reach. This week I'm joined by Bron Watson, a nurse, educator, and entrepreneur who built a thriving coaching business while a quiet voice kept telling her something wasn't right. She ignored it until a breast cancer diagnosis in 2017 changed everything. Five years later, a second dia...

You could find fifteen strategies in ten seconds. Ask ChatGPT, ask Claude; they'll hand you every tactic on the internet. Strategy was never the hard part. This week I'm pulling back the curtain on my Wealthy CEO Intensive, a three-day experience I just wrapped with a small group of women. I walk through what happened on each day and why so many smart, capable women hit a ceiling that strategy alo...

If the pace of running your business has felt heavier lately — more noise, more pressure, more competition for attention — this episode is for you. This week I'm joined by Kami Guildner, a business coach for high-vibe women entrepreneurs. Last year, she put her usual work aside and spent months just listening — having real conversations with hundreds of women business owners about what was actuall...

When you hear "limited-time offer" or "doors closing Friday," how do you feel? If you're like a lot of women entrepreneurs, one of two things happens. Either you avoid these tools entirely because they feel manipulative — or you use them while holding your breath, hoping you don't come across as pushy. Here's what I want you to know: it doesn't have to feel that way. This episode is actually lesso...

If you've been told your labs look fine and something still feels off — this episode is going to explain why. And what you can actually do about it. Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist and FDN Practitioner Katie Hardie joins the Game On Girlfriend® podcast to break down why conventional lab ranges were never designed to tell you whether you're performing optimally. They were designed to catch pr...

When you make a mistake in your business, shame usually shows up right along with it. The kind that whispers you should have known better, moved faster, or figured it out sooner. But in business, there are certain things you cannot know until you know them. That's not a reflection of your ability. That's just how learning works. In this solo episode, I'm walking you through three categories of kno...

Episode 333 is different. And if you've been paying attention, you've probably felt the shift coming. For the last 18 months, I've been doing the quieter, harder work behind the scenes — healing my nervous system, finalizing my divorce, stepping back from emotional labor I had no business carrying, and learning what it actually means to receive. In this solo episode, I'm bringing all of it to you....

"Balance is a myth." It's one of the most repeated messages out there — and Dr. Anokhi Kapasi thinks it's doing women serious harm. In this episode of the Game On Girlfriend® podcast, I sit down with Dr. Anokhi Kapasi, founder of Solve for Mom and host of the Science Careers for Moms podcast. With a PhD in Molecular Pathology and 15 years of experience in scientific research and consulting, Anokhi...

Most of us aren't stuck. We're cluttered. That's one of the first things Diana Firth said in this conversation. Diana is an Intuitive Guide, Author, and Speaker, and one of my closest friends for over 25 years. She's also one of the clearest, most grounded people I know when it comes to helping people cut through the noise and actually hear themselves again. In this episode of the Game On Girlfrie...
