The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

We're about to hit the fun season of "Buy this!" "Don't wait — order now!" and "For today only!" messages. Honestly, in our society, it's pretty funny to even call it a "season." Because while it gets a little more intense toward the end of each year, we live with it all the time. You're not thin enough! Strong enough! Rich enough! Smart enough! But if you buy my [insert crazy nonsense here] then...

Are you one of those women who gets pretty strong nudges? You know, you get a feeling that you should call someone, send an email or text — then you do … and magic follows.  It's pretty cool, right? Have you ever been curious about what that means or wonder if you're tapping into something bigger than you? Is it just your intuition, or is something else going on? Today, we cover questions like thi...

Maybe you've found yourself thinking something like this lately: I'm exhausted all the time. I think I'm just burned out. I can't seem to focus on just one thing. I must be a loser. Why am I always so tired?  How come everyone else seems to be able to handle everything, and I can't? It's become an epidemic among women. We say yes. To everything! You guys. This has to stop. It's not easy, and in th...

If we don't understand what foods make us feel awful, and which ones make us feel amazing, then we're doing a huge disservice to our life's work. Taking care of your health as a woman is one of the more powerful ways we can succeed. You know how it works … when you feel great, you do great things. When you feel horrible, nothing seems to work well. So it's with that in mind that I bring you Episod...

One of the biggest reasons you might be struggling with being happy right now is because of the "there's not enough" myth we were born into. There's not enough happiness to go around, so if you're happy, that means you're stealing happiness from someone else. Total poppycock. Yes, I said poppycock. You are allowed to be happy, even while the world is going through all this uncertainty and madness....

This week I got to giggle and laugh and learn from the beautiful Sheilisa McNeal-Burgess - Founder & CEO of Fria Jewelry. Sheilisa is a solutions-focused inventor & brainchild behind the ground-breaking technology for women going through menopause. Because aging is a taboo conversation, most people don't want to engage in it. That means we can't help each other go through it. What if we decided to...

"As we grow ourselves, we start to become less influenced by the negativity around us." You guys, so many people are living in fear right now. And I almost don't want to talk about it, because I love bringing you positive solutions to tough stuff.  So, with that in mind, we're going to talk about what's really going on and what the real effects are, but I'll also give you concrete ways to protect...

Megan Hadley is a nutrition therapist and the owner of Simple Nutrition, a nutrition counseling practice in Greensboro, NC, and founder of Fork the Food Rules, a membership for people who have decided not to diet.  She believes that all bodies are good bodies and that from cake to kale, all foods are good foods. After helping hundreds of clients recover from diet culture, Megan knows that when wom...

Have you ever had that experience when you've just been celebrating something amazing … Say you just lost a bunch of weight … or You just got picked to appear on a national TV show for your work … or  You just heard from your accountant, and you're making more money than you've ever made … or You just went on the best date of your life … And then it hits. A worrisome, anxiety-producing thought com...

Have you ever found yourself saying something like, "I really want to make more money." And then you don't? Or how about, "I really want to quit this job that I hate." And then you don't. Or maybe even, "I really want more love in my life." But Netflix and popcorn are your closest friends? If you've ever found yourself in that position, then this is the podcast episode for you. In today's world of...

So in Episode 79, " When Life Happens " I shared with you that I have a singular intention for running my business. And while my motto is "I put more money in the hands of more women" my internal intention is to "spread love". In this episode, I explain exactly what I mean by that, and what my true definition of love is … but I also want to walk you through exactly why you want to find your intent...

This one is for all you animal lovers out there! Oh, and for all of you who have friends who are crazy in love with their pets, you're going to want to listen in. If you've been searching for a great gift for a dog lover, or you want to have a beautiful picture of your cat up on your wall, or you want to spend more time looking at your household pet because come on, they're the best, then this is...

What's that old saying? "You make plans … God laughs." Is that it? You can catch the video version of this episode here: https://youtu.be/eyfWNKJC0p8 Holy cannoli you guys. I can't even. I don't even know what just happened. I recorded this after 2 nights of very little sleep, a tough workout, and a serious amount of writing and logistics. Here's the deal: My dad had an accident. He lives 3,000 mi...

Do you remember that fun little thing we used to write to each other when AIM was in? You know, that old-fashioned messenger app? It's this one: ZOMG! LOL You guys. That is exactly how I felt when I wrapped up this podcast episode with Lee. In full transparency, I had the hardest time naming this episode. Usually, I write my many (MANY) options for the title and then choose one. With this episode?...

Our day-to-day conversations are POWERFUL. They can dictate our days, weeks, and months — ultimately, they can shape our lives. It's true. When I moved from Utah to California and then to the East Coast, my conversations changed from topics like "Who has the cleanest house and best-behaved children" to "How fit are you, and what's the latest diet" and then to "How busy are you, how important is yo...

What would you say if I told you that "writer's block" isn't a real thing? I know, so rude, right? I mean, what one earth can we blame all those stalled days and weeks on if we can't blame writer's block? Well, when I sat down with Jacq Fisch for this podcast episode, she ripped the lid off that old myth. And she did it quickly. I can't wait for you to listen in on what she shares about it. We als...

So there's one word that I hear a lot in my line of work. The word "fear". It's all over the place. " Conquer your fears!" " Fear is destroying your life." " Face your fears or lose everything." And I get it. I really do. We've all had that experience when we do something that felt really scary at first, but we went ahead and did it anyway - usually to find out that it wasn't so bad after all. But...

For all of you event hosts, retreat planners, and well, any entrepreneur really, this one's for you. You're going to love this interview with Jessica Chinyelu. Sometimes when I interview people I feel like I should be furiously taking notes, and this episode was definitely one of them! And, as a woman after my own heart, Jessica built her business by truly understanding her own talents, experience...

It's become a phenomenon, have you noticed? " I'm so busy, I can't even breathe." " I don't even know which project I should do next, there's so much going on." " I'm so sorry I can't make that appointment. My dog just threw up, my kids are going crazy, work is insane and, you know. It's just a lot. " Holy cannoli you guys. I feel like I've had this conversation with so many women over the last fe...

You've probably had an experience that goes something like this … You pick up your phone. You start thumbing through that Instagram newsfeed. And then you realize something. Everyone looks the same. Everyone sounds the same. How many pink blazers did you just double-tap? How many duck lips can one person see from a fake private jet? A dance where one points at words that fly across the screen? It'...

I have a love-hate relationship with the world of "woo-woo". If you don't know what "woo-woo" is, you might imagine it as the world of mediation, stones, chakras, sound baths, 'The Secret' or 'magical thinking.' I hope that helps. "Woo-woo" has become such a common description in my industry that sometimes I forget to define it. Anyway, I love me some stones. I carry them around on stage when I sp...

If you've been feeling like that to-do list is just way too long (oh, and by the way, you don't even care), then this is the podcast episode you've been waiting for. In this episode, I got to interview Lori Oberbroeckling , who's just released her new book, Secrets of Supermom: How Extraordinary Moms Succeed at Work and Home & How You Can Too! Lori kicks off this interview by telling us exactly ho...

In my twelve-plus years of studying personal and professional development, I've learned to really appreciate our emotions and what they do for us. I'm so grateful for the extraordinary feedback loop they provide us. But it's a feedback loop that only works if we listen to it. And most women were taught, either explicitly or through suggestion and subtle messaging that anger in women is bad. Peace...

This episode was so much fun to record because Diana and I have been friends for over 25 years (I still can't believe that, but whatever. It's true. LOL) Diana has been an organizer, stager, and designer in the Washington DC area for over 11 years. And during that time, she got to see how people were really living. Not that, "Hey! Company-is-coming-let-me-clean-up kind of living. No. The real kind...

Well I have to be honest, that's not a title for a podcast episode that I ever thought I'd write … but here I am. If you're a woman and you have a pulse, chances are you're starting to feel it now. The burnout. The exhaustion, the disappointment, the expectation hangover, the wariness to venture back out into the world. But it's going to happen now, we know that. And in order to stay grounded and...
