345. Joy as a Default Setting — with Roberta Ravella, Founder of The Joy Experiment
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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. What Roberta found on the other side of that break is what she now calls The Joy Experiment. This conversation is about what it took to get there, and what her mornings look like now that she's...

344. Why You Struggle to Receive Money (Even When You're Good at Making It)
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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 receiving problem, and most women were never taught the skill. In this solo episode, I break down what receiving actually is, why we were never taught to do it, and how you can start practicing...

343. Real Estate Investing One Step at a Time — with Abi Horton, Founder of Aros
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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 been looking for, and stepping through it eventually led to Aros, a real estate investment technology company built around mid-term rentals. Abi is candid about what that process actually...

342. The Energy Drains for Women Entrepreneurs No One Warns You About
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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 for everyone else online. Grab a journal, because I want you to actually answer these questions as you listen. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The exact question to ask when a task drains you,...

341. How to Increase Your Capacity for Happiness — with Dr. Peggy DeLong, The Gratitude Psychologist™
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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 hard. It's not about thinking positively until the feeling kicks in. And it has nothing to do with luck or your current circumstances. Peggy discovered the power of gratitude while sitting...

340. How to Map a Customer Journey for Your Small Business
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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 share another one. This lesson is all about the customer journey, from the moment someone meets you to the moment they buy and beyond. Grab a journal for this one. It's short, but it's dense....

339. Why Listening to Your Intuition Matters More Than Hustle — with Bron Watson
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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 followed: an incurable blood cancer. In this conversation, Bron and I talk about what it costs to override your own intuition, and what it actually means to control the controllables when...

338. Inside the Wealthy CEO Intensive: Why Capacity Comes Before Strategy
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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 explain. This one's for the woman who's already done the work, already seen success, and still feels like the money slips through her hands faster than it should. Pop in those earphones....

337. Why Pausing Is the Strategy for Women Entrepreneurs Right Now — with Kami Guildner
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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...

How to Sell Without Feeling Slimy — Sales Tools That Actually Work
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
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...
info_outlineDo you have a love-hate relationship with social media? Today I want to introduce you to my social media coach, Katie McKiever. I think we all know that side of it where everyone’s snarky, everyone’s mean. Katie’s going to walk us through how to deal with that side of it and give us a framework for what to post on social media to be a positive resource.
Katie says when social media came along, it was like hitting the jackpot. Social media meant connecting to people at scale, with the power to hold it in your hands.
“If we aren’t reaching out to people and telling them our gifts and our passions, we are doing people a disservice,” says Katie. “And this hang up of ‘who am I to share this message? Who am I to be talking about these things? If not you, then who?’”
The key is to reframe social media posting as a service. There is a person on the other end who could be helped by you or your business! Every time you go to think of content or what to post ask yourself, “what can I help somebody with today?”
That question puts so much of the best energy into the world and it takes the weight off of you. It’s an internal process to really own who you are, what you’re doing and why.
Get ready to plan your three posts for next week. Katie explains you can use her 3-2-1 framework – three posts, two sessions of engagement on one platform -- consistently for a month.
Here are Katie’s three post ideas:
Something you learned. Maybe it’s a book you’re reading, a quote you heard, a podcast you heard. Where this gets strategic is that you tag in the brand or author to bring in other audiences.
Something you teach or something you want others to know. This is something that comes from what you or your brand represents. It shows you’re an expert in what you do.
Something you’re proud of. This is strategic because you can humblebrag and show off some things about your business. Remember you always want to lead with value, the other person in mind, and service.
For engagement time, block off two, 15-minute sessions a week. It will get you started, especially if you are pressed for time. Reply to comments – even if it’s just a thanks for posting. Then, proactively look on the platform for other people to engage with who might be of interest to you. Get into this rhythm of using social media as a two-way street. It's not just you pumping out content.
When you’re out there as a person, it’s a different experience. It can be warm and inviting; it doesn’t have to be awkward where you’re wondering how you’re being perceived, because it’s a conversation.
Katie says to avoid overwhelm, be consistent on one platform for one to three months. It doesn’t matter which platform. It’s about building the consistency and getting what you do out there in the world.
