The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
The largest wealth transfer in human history is already underway - and women are positioned to inherit the majority of it. But most women aren't prepared for what's coming, and the implications extend far beyond individual bank accounts. In this transformative episode, I sit down with Chelsea Williams, fractional CFO and self-proclaimed "money whisperer," who reveals the shocking truth about women's exclusion from the financial system and why the next 20 years will reshape society itself. Chelsea accidentally discovered accounting in college when everyone told her to avoid it. That "mistake"...

When your business relationships mirror your personal ones, there's a deeper pattern at work. Nicola Navon, relationship communication coach and host of the Divine Union podcast, discovered this firsthand when her people-pleasing patterns in romantic relationships showed up as client codependency in her business. In this conversation, Nicola shares her signature Union Method framework and explains how balancing masculine energy (structure, boundaries, direct communication) with feminine energy (intuition, receptivity, play) creates magnetic communication that builds both intimacy and...

Is marketing online enough to make you want to stick a fork in your eye? If you've been feeling that way, I want you to know one, you're not alone, and two, something's happening in online marketing that not enough people are talking about: the authenticity factor. We have a nose for BS. We know when people feel desperate. We know when things aren't going well. We know when someone is showing up just to show up, because they think they're supposed to. If you've been wondering how you can show up in an authentic way and have people really be attracted to you and not in the I'm going to call it...

What causes people to change? We have a really tough time actually shifting who we are, and how we’re walking through the world. The answer is one that I touched on, in the very first podcast episode of the Game on Girlfriend podcast when I said, “don't live a life of almosts.” Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini was born in South Korea and abandoned at birth by her family. She spent her early years in an orphanage, enduring hardships that she likened to living in a modern-day concentration camp. Today, Sun Yong is a highly successful seven-figure entrepreneur and the CEO of Lush Enterprises, LLC. In...

If hunger isn't the problem, food isn't the solution. If you're hating your body, starving it, or overfeeding it, chances are you're hindering your impact on this planet.

info_outlineDo you understand your own relationship with fear? Have there been moments in your life where you knew there was something you wanted to do, and you kept not doing it because it just seemed too big?
Today's guest, Candy Motzek, waited 10 years before she decided to pursue her dream of being a coach, and she knew she was going to be a great coach. She calls coaching a calling, but she had to overcome fear and deeply understand her relationship with fear before she could begin this journey.
Candy is an author, podcast host, and business coach for life coaches. She helps her clients get unstuck and feel more confident and clear so they can play bigger, sign clients, and create more meaningful success. She is a "recovering" corporate executive and engineer who combines practical strategy and mindset in her calming, unique approach.
"There's something really magical, for me anyway, in that one-on-one conversation with people, like there is a connection, and I see them … the essence of them and who they really are," says Candy. "And there's something super powerful in that."
For Candy, coaches call their clients out to live that bigger life, which requires them to be courageous and face things they might be scared to do in service of who they are becoming. It's one of the reasons she says it's important for coaches to have a coach.
"You just don't have that perspective on yourself that somebody else can have, and they can see those patterns that you have where you're not living to the thing that you said you wanted to do," says Candy. "You get your results faster when you have somebody that holds you as fully accountable."
It took Candy 10 years to pursue coach training. It was never convenient, and it was expensive. How would she find the time? These were some of the things Candy told herself.
"I had all the great excuses, but really, it was my ego and just my fear saying, "Oh, don't rock the boat. Don't do anything too crazy," says Candy. "There's this tension that happens."
But Candy says it's not an all-or-nothing thing. You can just start.
"We can just take the training, and we can just say, 'You know what, I'm going to have three clients. I can do three clients.' Right?" says Candy. "Or I could use these skills in another way in my life."
Coaching is a skill, so if you're thinking of starting a business, you first want to get a little training. Coach as many people as you can, get that skill, practice that skill, and then you start to feel like a coach.
Candy recommends coaching for her clients who are new to coaching. Do not build the website or start an email list. Create a program and deliver it. You watch people transform, learn from that, and make a little bit of money. So now you're ready for the next step.
