The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

One of the things I love about my coach Kelsey Murphy is how she talks about how data protects our emotions in the long run. So many coaches cry every day. We love everyone we see and want to save the world all the time. We have these huge hearts that shy away from numbers and data. But Kelsey marries the two in a way that lets us protect our big hearts so we can do more.    Kelsey is a career and...

What do we do as business owners when personal life gets challenging? From CEO fatigue and burnout, helping aging parents, diagnoses, and relationship challenges you didn't see coming to people struggling to get off the couch… how do you get through those moments? If you have started a business at this time on the planet, you're probably pretty sensitive. You're sensitive to the needs of others. Y...

The world is on social media, so we have to have a presence – but we can't let it consume us.

Ever feel like you're pushing water uphill? This feeling tends to happen when we're doing things in our business that don't feel right to us. Maybe it's a bro marketer whispering in your ear telling you to write a certain way and post to social media 18 times a day. Whatever it is, you do it because you want your business to be successful. It's normal, but it doesn't always feel right. We'll dive...

Beautiful people! As you know, I believe our beliefs and thoughts dictate our results. I'm excited to share this conversion with Tracy Pleschourt, founder of Self-MadeU, who teaches the concept of self-control. We've all had those moments. You're going through your day; things are just gorgeous. Then you have that one thought that takes you completely off course. It might be something like "I suck...

We've all had those moments, whether at a corporate job or running your own businesses, where you're exhausted and feel like the money isn't worth it. It's so easy to lose sight of what matters to US. I am on vacation with my son in Rhode Island for a soccer camp. We were getting some lunch the other day, and I asked to take a minute and listen to the other moms. We heard: Do you have enough food?...

Bronwyn Carr says if you'd have told her five years ago that she would be leaving her corporate career in law to launch a startup to manufacture mushroom products, she would have told you you're insane. But after a brush with ovarian cancer led to a hysterectomy and struggle with perimenopausal symptoms, she poured all her research expertise into creating the company Mind & Mane. Here she was at t...

No surprise, today we are talking about freedom and independence, two of my favorite topics. I don't think you're going to be shocked, but my number one value is freedom, and it is the ability to enjoy time. It's the ability to create, share, and make a difference.  We will be talking about freeing ourselves from some specific, universal fears. So, no matter how you celebrate, I hope you can use t...

We're halfway through the year! Do you remember what your goals are? Summer is upon us, and it's the perfect time to knock yourself right off track. Summer is important because when September hits, it's madness. It's when people realize they don't know where their revenue will come through. Will they hit through Black Friday?  But it doesn't start in September; it starts now! That being said, I wa...

Stephanie LaFlora is a consumer turned beauty business owner shaking up the industry. As a consumer, hair salons constantly rejected her because they didn't know how to style her hair when all she wanted was a wash and a blow dry. She later learned that cosmetology schools weren't teaching their stylists how to style or care for curly or oily hair.  Driven to solve the problems of her own customer...

If you have ever had that moment when scrolling social media, you think, "I'm terrible, I don't know enough, I'm not good enough. I don't know why I think I could do this. Who do I think I am?" These are normal thoughts that we all have. And as I've been processing applications for The Abundance Academy [https://sarahwalton.com/abundance-academy/], I've seen this repeatedly. I'm so impressed by th...

Do you ever get discouraged? Do you ever have those moments where you want to crawl into bed and pull the sheets over your head?  If you have goals – and they don't have to be to hit seven figures – goals like losing five pounds, keeping your kitchen organized, being faster at replying to emails – and you feel like you don't have it going on. That is the feeling of discouragement.  This is almost...

You know how much I love plants; I'm so blown away by their power and how much they can support us, little humans, wandering around this planet. Shannon Mulligan-Mayernik is joining us to talk about the power of plants and how they can support our bodies.

We're going to do something a little bit different in this episode! We're doing a full-on coaching episode about breaking through something in your life.  As you're listening, I want you to think about one thing you feel is holding you back: that if you got through it, other parts of your life would start to pop.

Kimberly looks at the cobwebs of your unconscious in your business and figure out where you are holding things back. She expanded her li...

Earlier this month, we made a MASSIVE decision here at Team Sarah. It was hard, but we completed the Game on Girlfriend membership.  I created it because I wanted women to have a monthly check-in to get tips, ideas, or a workshop and stay in the conversation without necessarily needing a one-on-one coach. It was a light in my heart that created community. If this is not the entrepreneur conundrum,...

In April's Coffee With Coach, I talked about the power of abundance. We dug into how abundance is a feeling and how you can access it even when you're in a freak-out moment. That livestream really connected with people; we received so many private messages about how it was needed. We heard people telling us they didn't realize they were focused on scarcity - only on the negative.  If you're human,...

Everyone wants the quick fix, but a lot of people don't want to do the hard work. You might be comfortable getting the information and planning everything, but then you don't do anything because it takes you out of your comfort zone.  If you are a self-identified course collector, meaning you see a new course, and you're ready to buy it … You wait for the cart … You can't buy it … You buy it! And...

Last weekend I met up with four of my closest girlfriends. We do this every year. We try very hard to hang out in a house where we don't have to leave, where we can wear sweatpants and eat as much food as humanly possible. I hope that this episode really inspires you to go out there and find your people. I want to share three things I observed with these women over this weekend. It was a place whe...
