337. Why Pausing Is the Strategy for Women Entrepreneurs Right Now — with Kami Guildner

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 actually going on for them. What she heard surprised her, and it might surprise you too. We get into what she learned, how it's showing up in the businesses that are actually growing right now, and what to do with the ideas you've been sitting on but haven't quite known how to share with the world. If you've been craving more stillness, more quiet, and a little permission to stop doing everything all the time — pop in those earphones. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What Kami discovered after a year of real conversations with hundreds of women business owners Why the businesses that grew last year were run by women who paused and listened — even in a strange, uncertain year How to ask better questions that get to what your clients are really desiring, instead of just their pain points What a "one message for the world" is, and how to find yours Why more content isn't the answer when the market feels loud and saturated — and what is KAMI'S FREE GIFT FOR GAME ON GIRLFRIEND® LISTENERS Kami offers free monthly online training, alternating between live round tables with other speakers and deeper solo training.

How to Sell Without Feeling Slimy — Sales Tools That Actually Work

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 lesson 10 from Effortless Sales, a 12-week course I used to offer that has since evolved into The Art of Receiving. I was going through the archives with my team, and it was so clear we had to publish this one. With what's happening in sales right now — everything starting to feel a little hollow, AI making things sound the same, the pressure building — this lesson is more relevant than ever. I walk you through what scarcity tools actually are, why they work with the human brain, and the one condition that determines whether they help people or harm them. We also get into why your sales numbers are not a measure of your worth, why authenticity will always outperform a perfected pitch, and why the pressure of one launch is genuinely smaller than you think. Save this one. Come back to it before your next launch, before you rewrite sales copy, and before your next sales call. What You'll Learn: Why the structure of your business — not just your mindset — determines whether the next launch feels like stress or freedom What the human brain actually needs in order to make a buying decision — and why that's not manipulation The one condition that makes a scarcity tool genuinely helpful versus genuinely harmful Why small, tangible wins convert better than big promises — and how to use that in your own sales copy and conversations How to use your own authentic experience as your most powerful sales tool Why your business is your agreement with the universe — and what Carl Sagan has to do with your next launch Ready to Build Your Business? Book a free 30-minute discovery call with me to talk about where you are in your business and see if working together feels right.

335. When Your Labs Say You're Fine and Your Body Disagrees — with Katie Hardie

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 problems once things have already gone wrong. For women entrepreneurs who have been managing everything, pushing hard, and wondering why the afternoon crashes, the midsection weight, and the middle of the night wake-ups aren't going anywhere — this conversation is for you. Katie and I talk about what chronic stress is actually doing inside your body while you're still crushing it on the outside, why layering more exercise and restriction on a stressed body tends to backfire, and what a functional approach to your health actually looks like in practice. If you feel like crap, good luck running a successful business. This one's for the woman who's done waiting to take her health seriously. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why "normal" lab results don't mean your body is functioning optimally — and what those ranges are actually based on What happens inside your body when you've been in fight-or-flight mode for years — and why it can feel like energy until it doesn't Why eating less and working out more can make things worse for a stressed body, not better How gut health connects directly to mood, sleep, focus, and anxiety — and why the root cause is often upstream from the symptoms The first step to take when your labs look fine but you still don't feel fine RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz — https://amzn.to/3OE5p2b Good Energy by Casey Means — https://amzn.to/4u1AHz2 KATIE'S FREE GIFT FOR GAME ON GIRLFRIEND® LISTENERS Katie is offering a complimentary 45-minute consultation for anyone trying to figure out their next step.

If these things aren't happening, you're missing out on peak physical, mental, and emotional peak potential. Just a few of many normalized symptoms of untapped output include waking up in the middle of the night, increased body fat, especially around the mid-section, and burnout.

334. What You Don't Know in Business (And Why That's Not a Failure)

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 knowing — and making a real case for why the third one is where growth actually begins. Along the way, we get into what self-forgiveness actually is (it's not what most people think), the quiet cost of giving your attention away for free, and one specific challenge I want you to take on before this episode ends. If you've been wondering why your business isn't moving the way you know it could — or beating yourself up for not knowing something sooner — this one's for you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The three categories of knowing — and why the third one is where real growth begins Why business mistakes carry so much shame, and why that shame isn't earned What self-forgiveness actually is — and why it's an ongoing choice, not a destination The real cost of giving your attention away for free — and what it's doing to your business and your life A specific challenge to complete before this episode ends READY TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS?

333. Soul Debt: What Overgiving in Business Is Costing You — and What Comes Next

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. I'm introducing a concept I call soul debt: the overperforming that builds up when you want something so badly you shove everything else aside to make it happen. It doesn't look like a breakdown. It looks like being fine — fine on the outside, always fine — while something underneath runs at a constant hum that never quite quiets. If you've been checking all the boxes and still feeling like something is off, this episode was made for you. I'm also sharing what the next era of the Game On Girlfriend® podcast looks like — more solo episodes, more depth, more truth. No over-polishing. Just an honest conversation between me and you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What soul debt is — and how it builds up even when life looks completely fine from the outside Why unpaid emotional labor is one of the biggest things keeping women from receiving more What I actually did over the last 18 months to heal — the nervous system work, the books, the finalized divorce Why forgiving yourself is the foundation of real power — not just a nice idea What you can expect from the Game On Girlfriend® podcast going forward READY TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS?

332. Work-Life Balance a Myth? Dr. Anokhi Kapasi on Career-Life Integration

"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 built a six-step framework she called CLIP — Career Life Integration Protocol™ — to help women make clear, confident career decisions that actually fit their whole lives. We talk about why the "balance is a myth" message quietly removes your options, how high-achieving women fall into what Anokhi calls the "forced choice trap," and why indecision isn't a you problem — it's usually a clarity problem. Anokhi also breaks down the real distinction between alignment and balance (they are not the same thing), and what it looks like when your career decisions and your life decisions finally get made together. If you've ever felt stuck between two versions of your life, or like you have to choose between the career you've worked hard to build and the family you want — this conversation is for you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why the work-life balance myth may be doing women more harm than good — and what the real distinction between alignment and balance means How high-achieving women fall into the "forced choice trap" — and the framework Anokhi built to help them out of it The six steps of CLIP — Career Life Integration Protocol — for making confident career decisions that fit your whole life Why indecision has very real costs in time, energy, identity, and quality of life What it actually looks like when your inner self and your outer self are finally working together FREE GIFT FROM DR.

She helps women who are "successful on paper" but overwhelmed in real life make clear, confident career decisions.

331. Spiritual Simplicity: Quiet the Noise and Hear Your Intuition with Diana Firth

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 Girlfriend® podcast, I sit down with Diana to talk about spiritual simplicity — what it really means, what spiritual clutter actually looks and feels like, and why the feeling of being stuck is almost never what it looks like on the surface. One thing worth noting before you press play: Diana recorded this conversation in the middle of her own grief, having recently lost her father. The grace and clarity she brings to this conversation, from inside that loss, are something I hope everyone gets to witness. It's a living example of something she teaches — that our emotions are here to guide us, even the hard ones. If things have felt loud, heavy, or like you can't quite hear yourself right now — this episode is going to help. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why feeling stuck is almost always a clutter problem, not a you problem What spiritual simplicity is — and what spiritual clutter actually looks and feels like in real life How to train your mind to come back to the present moment without overhauling your entire life Why your purpose and your job don't have to be the same thing — and why that matters What opened up for Diana the moment she let go of the fear of judgment How working with your emotions instead of storing them changes what's available to you SPECIAL GIFT FROM DIANA FIRTH Diana is offering a single-session intuitive guidance experience at a special introductory rate for the first six months of this year. If something in this conversation stirred something in you — and you're ready to get quiet enough to get clear — this is a meaningful next step. Book your session here: https://sarahwalton.com/spiritual-simplicity-diana-firth/ CONNECT WITH DIANA FIRTH Website: https://www.simplifywithdi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simplifwithdi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simplifwithdi TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifwithdi ABOUT DIANA FIRTH Diana Firth is an Intuitive Guide, Author, and Speaker with over 15 years of experience helping people simplify their lives and reconnect with themselves. Using intuitive insight and the ability to read emotional and energetic patterns, Diana helps clients identify the mental, emotional, and energetic noise that keeps them stuck in overwhelm, self-doubt, and misalignment. Her work is grounded, practical, and centered on nervous system safety, self-trust, and clarity. Through her company, Simplify with Di, and her memoir Love Doesn't Pay the Bills, Diana teaches that simplicity is not about minimalism or productivity — it's about removing what no longer serves so people can live with greater ease, stability, and alignment.

330. Build a Business That Supports Your Life with Erin Bradley

There's a moment Erin Bradley has never forgotten. It's July 2008. She's just ridden her bike five miles to meet a client — because she doesn't have gas money — and gotten there early so the sweat has time to dry. She steps up to the coffee counter. Her credit card gets declined for $2. She keeps her face completely neutral, tells him it's her debit card, and says she'll call the bank. He buys her coffee. She walks out mortified — and calls her dad. Her dad asked her one simple question: " Do you think you're going to be good at this someday?" She said yes. He said, "Then you do whatever it takes." In this episode of the Game On Girlfriend® podcast, I sit down with Erin Bradley — bestselling author, keynote speaker, coach, and host of the globally ranked Pursuing Freedom Podcast — to talk about what it actually takes to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. Not just the strategy. The energy behind the strategy. Erin went from maxed-out credit card debt and 100% commission with no safety net to nearly doubling her business multiple times over — including during COVID, while homeschooling her kids on a six-month RV road trip. What got her there wasn't grinding harder. It was learning to subtract, to fill her own well first, and to make decisions with fear along for the ride instead of waiting to feel fearless. If you're building something and still feel like the freedom you started all of this for keeps slipping just out of reach, this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why taking action from desperation produces different results than taking action from a place of genuine value — and how to shift your starting point What the go-giver philosophy actually teaches about leading from joy instead of lack Why women have been conditioned to give from empty wells — and what becomes available when you stop How the art of subtraction helped Erin go from two closings a month to seventeen What making decisions with fear along for the ride actually looks like in practice FREE GIFT FROM ERIN BRADLEY Take Erin's free Happiness & Fulfillment Meter Assessment and find out where you are right now on the emotional and energetic scale — not from a place of judgment, but from curiosity. It's designed to create awareness around fulfillment, energy, and lifestyle alignment so you can start making intentional changes toward more freedom and joy.

329. Should I Stay or Should I Go? Finding Relationship Clarity with Karyn Spetz

Most women I know have asked some version of this question at some point in their primary relationship. And if you haven't, you almost certainly have a friend who has. In this episode, I sit down with Karyn Spetz — a licensed clinical social worker and certified relationship coach — to talk honestly about what's really happening beneath the 'should I stay or should I go?' question. Not the dramatic version. The quiet, lingering, exhausting version that a lot of women carry alone for way too long. This conversation isn't about pushing anyone to leave or convincing anyone to stay. It's about clarity, self-trust, and learning to come back to yourself when everyone around you has an opinion on what you should do next. As a business coach, I can tell you — I have not had a single client whose primary relationship wasn't part of the conversation at some point. How we show up inside our most important long-term relationship shapes everything else: our confidence, our clarity, and our capacity to build something. This one matters. If this is you right now — welcome. And if it isn't, go ahead and send this to a girlfriend who needs it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why personal growth so often triggers the should I stay or should I go question Why the second-guessing loop doesn't mean your instincts are broken How the "good girl" pattern keeps women silent — and what it quietly costs them Why the conversations we're not having with our partners may be the most important ones of all How to start rebuilding self-trust so you can move forward with clarity KARYN'S 6-WEEK PROGRAM If this conversation is speaking to you, Karyn's intensive six-week program — Should I Stay or Should I Go? — is built for exactly this moment. It's designed to help you reconnect with yourself, stop the second-guessing, feel more confident, and know your next steps one way or another. No guilt, no pressure, no agenda.

Drawing on her own life experiences, her professional training, and nearly 16 years of her own marriage, Karyn guides women through the process of reconnecting with themselves so they can move forward from a place of clarity, confidence, and self-trust — without guilt, pressure, or agenda.

328. Your Story Is Enough: Building a Mission-Driven Business From the Inside Out with Shelby Perry

Building a business from your story doesn't always start with a business plan. For Shelby Perry, it started with a snowboarding accident, months of surgeries, and a forced stillness that turned into the most productive season of her life. Shelby is the founder of Eyehesive — a global, women-led platform dedicated to empowering people living with one eye. After losing her right eye in a snowboarding accident, she built a community, launched a physical product line of sleek adhesive eye patches, and is now hosting a retreat in Tulum. She did all of this while navigating sobriety, surgeries, recovery, and the very real doubt that comes with building something from nothing. This conversation is for every woman who has ever wondered whether what she's been through is enough to build something real. The answer is yes. And Shelby shows you exactly why. Here's what we cover: how Shelby turned a life-altering injury into a thriving mission-driven business, why following your intuition is actually a strategy, how she handles self-doubt and slow sales the same way she handled losing her eye, why your story doesn't need to be the most dramatic one in the room, and what to do on the days you want to quit. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN → Why building a mission-driven business from your story doesn't require the most dramatic experience in the room — and what actually matters more → How Shelby built Eyehesive one intuitive step at a time — from social media journal entries to a physical product launch, four and a half years in the making → The reframe she applies to slow sales weeks, low engagement, and hard seasons — the same one she used when she lost her eye → Why your lived experience carries wisdom, gold, and lessons that someone out there needs — and why sharing it is a responsibility, not a risk → What to do on the days you want to quit (this one is simple, and it works) CONNECT WITH SHELBY PERRY Website: https://eyehesive.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eyehesive/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Eyehesive ABOUT SHELBY PERRY Shelby Perry is the founder of Eyehesive, a global, women-led platform dedicated to empowering people living with one eye. After losing her right eye in a snowboarding accident, Shelby experienced firsthand the lack of support and adult-friendly solutions for eye loss. She turned that challenge into purpose by creating Eyehesive — offering sleek, functional adhesive eye patches and a thriving community focused on visibility, confidence, and connection. Shelby is passionate about building mission-driven businesses that combine innovation, advocacy, and community impact. READY TO BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE?
