The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

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 strateg...

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, coaching thousands of women t...

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: the idea that ev...

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 something differ...

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 li...

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 off.

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 a receivi...

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 she hadn't ...

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 it looks f...

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 ignoring what's...

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 wanted to s...

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 diagnosis fo...

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 alone can't ...

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 ...

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.
