The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

Recently, a courageous woman wrote in and asked me, "Sarah, how can I feel like I'm worthy enough to do what I want to do?" I almost fell out of my chair. The question is so honest and so relatable … but also heartbreaking.  I loved how this question was asked because people sometimes ask this question more indirectly.  Maybe it's something like, "How can I get rid of Imposter Syndrome" or "Why am...

In this week's live coaching session, we're sitting down with singer-songwriter Robin Renée.  This was such a tender and vulnerable session, and I really want to acknowledge Robin for her generosity in sitting down with me and being this honest. Chances are you'll hear a little bit of yourself in this episode, especially if you've ever felt a deeply personal ache to give and have an impact. In thi...

How in the world are we supposed to keep on keepin' on when it feels like the world has gone off the rails (again)? It's really easy to slip into the mode where you consume all the media — social and traditional — to keep up with every second of every event, all day long. But it's not good for your state of mind. Should you stay informed and know what's going on? Absolutely. And you can do that in...

This week's podcast episode is a live coaching session with nurse practitioner, Gina Dicostanzo. I'm so excited to share a live coaching session with you! While we had some fun back and forth, this is really what it's like to sit down with a coach and work through tough challenges. I want to acknowledge Gina and thank her for sharing her roadblocks with us so honestly. It takes an open mind and co...

About once a year I love to ask the beautiful women on my newsletter list what they'd love to learn from me. I'll literally ask: "What's the one thing you want to learn from me?" Or "What's one problem I can help you solve?" It's my favorite email to send out, and OMG the responses! They're thoughtful and smart and boy do you guys want to learn! It's so beautiful to see. And today's podcast episod...

I love bringing you real people who've created businesses based on their own struggles and experiences, so they can help more people.  Right now women are realizing that we judge ourselves "morally" in three major topics in life:  How we spend money Sex Food We talk about being a "good girl" or a "bad girl" (notice how we don't usually say "good" or "bad" woman - it's girl), when it comes to how w...

I love to ask our audience what questions they'd like me to answer — and oh boy, did I love this one. One of our awesome humans wrote in and said: "How can I get out of the unfulfilling work trap I am in and still afford my life expenses?" My heart stopped when I read that question. Because I remember asking myself that exact same question (OK, maybe a few words were different) when I was still wo...

If we were to write about the last two years using biblical language, I imagine it going something like this: And the dark days were upon them. Hope and joy seemed to have left the people of earth. Cynicism, sarcasm, and quitting became commonplace among the people. You guys. Holy cow. Is it just me or are these some tough times we're going through? The resignation, the fatigue, the worry. I don't...

I'm so excited to share this episode with you! Every once in a while, I like to share some of my work on the podcast, and this week, we're bringing you behind the scenes of my New Year's Day workshop! We called this one "But What About the Money?" because, well, people always ask me about that when we talk about creating a new business from their experience, expertise, and talents. They'll say, "T...

It's the worst feeling. You could see the dream, the vision. You could taste the success. You made plans … you wanted it .  And then something went wrong.  One part of your plan didn't fit your vision. So maybe you made that mean the entire dream was stupid or not worth it. And you gave up. You put your tail between your legs, and you stopped … Writing the book. Recording the podcast episodes. Sen...

Happy New Year! OMG. What a crazy 24 months we've all been through. I mean, can I just say it that boldly? Wow! And in this episode, I want to give you a gift: A New Year's planning session through the podcast! YAY! Let's go! You're definitely going to want a pen and a journal for this one. I'm gifting you a little mini-workshop as a New Year's present, and it's going to take a little bit of work...

Marla is the creator and founder of Love Your Body Love Yourself. She helps women find a resounding "YES!" to the question: Do you love your body? And like all the guests I have on the show, Marla walks the talk. She's the real deal. She's been in the trenches of warfare with her own body, too — and she knows what the struggle is like.  I ask some of the questions that have been top of my mind for...

OMG, you guys. I got handed a serious piece of humble pie this morning by my running coach. I've said it many times, and I swear I mean it: None of us are special. And holy cannoli, if I didn't get a reminder of that today. But when it comes to your goals, most of the time, you'll have to do something you've never done before to reach them. And that's not comfortable. I hung in there this morning,...

Ugh. I just can't do it anymore. It's too hard. It's too big. I'm just not like anyone else. Have you ever heard yourself saying crazy things like this? (And yes, don't even try to argue with me, they really are crazy.) Heaven knows, I've been there. If we're really honest, we've all been there. And that's why I wanted to bring you this interview on the podcast with Mary Ellen Loranger. She found...

Don't you hate it when you set a goal and then nothing happens? It's the worst feeling. We all start out with great intentions when we set a new goal or start chasing a new idea. But then things get off track. Suddenly, the tasks get a little boring. The excitement starts to wear off. And we're left with something none of us want. The unsexy tasks. What are the unsexy tasks?  Unsexy tasks are thos...

It's a huge day over here at Team Sarah ... because today's the day we've created, produced, and published 100 episodes of the GAME ON GIRLFRIEND PODCAST! I had no idea that this ride was going to be this fulfilling and rewarding. The guests, the crying and laughing, the insights, the moments of learning. I mean, the women I've had on the show! What an honor. Scrolling back and listening to episod...

No, really. What do you do when there's conflict? How do you react?  Do you run away? Are you scared? Do you yell? Are you great at compromising? Learning how to fight, and compromise, and then fight again is a huge skillset when it comes to running a successful business. In this week's episode, I sat down with not just one amazing lady, but two! I'm thrilled to share this discussion I had with th...

I've had it. We have to talk about this, people. You need to understand why you're scared to charge people for the work you do. Even more importantly, you need to understand that this is not a belief you actually have, this is something that's been designed, systematized, and drilled into you. For most of the earth's existence, women weren't viewed as full people. Yes, you read that right. We were...

So, you may have noticed that there's quite a bit of change going on in the world right now … I mean, wow! We have the "Great Resignation" — 4.3 million people resigned from their jobs in September of 2021— and we know social change is a must. It's time for organizations, nonprofits, and corporations to catch up. And that means change from the inside out. Because of all this, I'm thrilled to annou...

You know the feeling, right? You pick up your phone to make sure you got back to your kid's school about that field trip release form, and you see that little red circle over your Instagram app. I'm not sure what sort of voodoo those red dots are into, but damn, it's good. It works almost every time. Before you know it, you're not even sure if you still have kids, what a field trip is, or why you...

I love money. I like really, really love money. And heaven knows it wasn't always that way. As we grow up, the conversations we hear about money and the aspects of it that we learn aren't talked about have a major and critical effect on how we view money as adults. My guest in this episode is Michelle Arpin Begina. She's an advisor, author, and speaker. She's taken her own money story and alchemiz...

So, in my unofficial study of life (LOL!), I've come to notice that about 90% of female business owners are scared to sell. Yep, you read that right. Again, it's unofficial. I don't do research surveys for a living (one of my clients does, however — maybe I should call her!), but I can tell you, 9 out of 10 of my clients struggle with sales. Over time, I've come to notice a trend in the beliefs th...

Have you ever had one of those days where you can't think straight? Your body feels tired, you forget a few things here and there, and you're just not feeling your best? Our guest on this episode is Tanessa Shears, a health consultant and host of the "Becoming Limitless" podcast.  Tanessa shares practical actions we can all take to be more productive and to simply feel better on a daily basis — sp...

Have you ever had one of those moments when you knew, you just knew there was something you shouldn't do, but you did it anyway? Or worse, you knew what the right thing to do was, but you didn't do it? Oh, man. It feels horrible, right? Ugh. Like a punch in the gut yuckiness.  What if I told you it wasn't your fault? What if I told you that, especially as a woman, you were trained not to listen to...
