312. Awakening, Abundance & Ancient Wisdom — Rewriting Your Money Story with Halle Eavelyn
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
What if money isn't as "real" as we think it is? This week, Sarah talks to spiritual coach, tour leader, and money mindset mentor Halle Eavelyn about the deep, often hidden beliefs that shape women's relationships with wealth. From a life-changing awakening in Egypt to writing The Passive Income Power Plan, Halle shares how she helps women remember their power—and step fully into it. Here's something wild: women couldn't open their own bank accounts until 1974. Today, we still receive only 3% of venture capital funding. These aren't just statistics—they're symptoms of deep programming...

311. Soul Setting Over Goal Setting: A Year-End Reflection for Women Entrepreneurs
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
In this quiet but powerful close-to-the-end-of-the-year episode, I'm inviting you into a deeper kind of reflection: not a noisy checklist of goals, but a wholehearted look at what your life and work have really been built on—and what needs to shift. I'm writing this after attending a funeral, and after finding out my Aunt Wendy passed away. Some of you met her in episode 148. Through these stories of grief and loss, I'm exploring how pause can bring clarity, and how to choose a slower, more intentional path into the new year.

307. Stop Hustling & Start Leading with Grace: The Grace Codes with Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
You can't 10X your business by just working harder. Actually, the harder you push, the more you push away what you're trying to create. Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh shares The Grace Codes framework—and this conversation wrecked me in the best way. Five hours into climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, a guide asked Dr. Kelly to hand over her backpack. She refused. Every other woman had surrendered theirs, but she insisted she was fine. Then she realized she was weaving on the trail—a sign of oxygen deprivation she hadn't even noticed. The truth? It took 28 porters and guides to get 5 women to the summit....

info_outlineIn this transformative solo episode, abundance expert and business coach Sarah Walton reveals why traditional business strategies often fall short and shares the energetic approach to growth that's changing everything for ambitious women entrepreneurs. Through personal stories, including a remarkable synchronicity involving a pair of jeans, Sarah explores how shifting from chasing to receiving can revolutionize your business results. If you've built a successful business but still feel stuck, exhausted, or like you're forcing every outcome, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on scaling with soul, strategy, and sanity.
What You'll Learn:
1. Why "just being strategic" stops working at higher levels of business success
2. The difference between chasing abundance and allowing it to flow to you naturally
3. How your nervous system impacts your ability to scale sustainably
4. The power of making clear requests to the universe while releasing attachment to outcomes
5. Why community and being truly seen are essential for business expansion
6. Real client transformation stories that prove it's about becoming, not just doing
7. How to shift from over-functioning to receiving what's already trying to reach you
8. The energetic frequency that successful entrepreneurs embody versus those who struggle
Sarah Walton challenges the conventional wisdom that business success comes solely from better strategies and harder work. Drawing from 18 years of entrepreneurial experience, she reveals how the most successful business owners operate from a different frequency altogether-one of alignment, trust, and receiving rather than constant chasing and forcing.
The episode opens with Sarah's powerful assertion that "businesses don't fail, they quit," setting the stage for a deeper exploration of what happens when entrepreneurs move beyond survival mode into true abundance. Through the delightful story of manifesting the perfect pair of jeans, Sarah illustrates how the universe responds when we make clear requests without attachment, demonstrating principles that directly apply to business growth.
Sarah addresses the loneliness and isolation many entrepreneurs face, explaining how the quality of our daily conversations shapes our business reality. She emphasizes that successful scaling isn't about finding better tactics, but about becoming the person who can hold larger results without breaking. The episode includes inspiring stories from her Abundance Academy, where clients have achieved 7x revenue growth by shifting their energy and approach.
Key insights include understanding that 90%of sales is energy while only 10% is what you're selling, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right community, and how our nervous system either supports or sabotages our next level of success. Sarah concludes with practical guidance on moving from strategy-focused to frequency-focused business building.
