313. But What About the Money? Why Your Nervous System Determines Your Income
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Turning the calendar doesn't reset your nervous system. All the vision boards in the world won't rearrange your limiting beliefs about money. So what about the money? In this final episode of 2025, I'm getting vulnerable about the money fears that keep women entrepreneurs stuck financially—including my own. You'll hear exactly what happened when I confronted my hidden fear: "If I become truly wealthy, will people think I'm a bad person?" The truth? You can only earn at the speed of safety. When your nervous system feels unsafe, you physically cannot show up at the level required to grow your...

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.

Whether you're a business owner, a creative, or simply someone...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
You know that idea pulling at your heart? The one you immediately follow up with "who am I to do this?" Carrie Rich had one of those ideas while mopping hospital floors as a graduate student.

Her work has impacted 11.6 million lives across 70 countries through the Global Good Fund. But here's what really changed everything for Carrie: a stack of napkins pushed across a desk and one question - "Do you have a financial life plan?" At 25 years old, her...

308. What Trauma Actually Costs Entrepreneurs (And Why Sean/a's Story Will Restore Your Faith) | Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
We're harsh with each other right now. Judging people we don't know based on where they live or how they voted. But what if we got curious instead? Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison spent 35 years as a trauma psychologist working with severe PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, schizophrenia, and near-death experience survivors. This conversation changed how I see everyone—including myself. High achievers are often high-functioners—people who've adapted to trauma in remarkably creative ways. The executive who never misses a deadline might be falling apart inside. The entrepreneur who appears...
info_outlineWhat if the key to financial freedom wasn't another retirement account… but a completely different way of thinking about money?
In this episode of The Game On Girlfriend® Podcast, Sarah sits down with finance educator and founder Erica Neal to talk about infinite banking—a strategy that uses custom-designed life insurance policies to help you grow wealth, keep liquidity, and still protect your future.
What You'll Learn
Erica shares her unfiltered story: from teen mom to Wall Street to building her own wealth management firm, centered on empowering financial education. The conversation dives into:
-
What infinite banking actually is (and the myths that keep people nervous)
-
How the wealthy use these policies for funding projects, reinvesting, and creating a legacy
-
Why compounding interest and control matter more than flashy returns
-
Erica's "buried vs. planted" concept—how to grow through challenging seasons
Episode Summary
This isn't your typical financial advice episode. Erica breaks down exactly how infinite banking works with real numbers - you typically get 80% access to your money in year one, dollar-for-dollar by year four, and often more than you put in by year five thanks to compound growth. She tackles the biggest concerns head-on, like why those acquisition costs aren't actually problems, but rather smart, long-term moves. You'll hear how to use policy loans while your money keeps earning, why dividends from mutual insurance companies add extra returns, and how this fits with your other investments instead of replacing them. Erica's journey from Wall Street product-pusher to genuine wealth strategist shows what happens when you put clients first.

About Erica Neal
After earning her bachelor's degree in finance & economics, Erica began her career in finance by working for a large investment firm, learning the basics of running a financial practice but also becoming aware of large holes in the traditional financial planning process. Though she was able to obtain success & company recognition for her achievements, Erica knew there was a better way to build her clients' wealth.
To provide more comprehensive strategies for her clients, Erica left the large box company to join a boutique, independent financial firm where her planning process transitioned from a narrow focus on rate of return to building efficient cash flow strategies and increasing income through alternative assets and the Infinite Banking Concept. In addition to expanding her financial planning methods, Erica also began to invest in real estate. Eventually, Erica and David White decided to merge their practices and open their own firm to focus on their passion…. cash flow strategy.
Since co-launching Infinity Investment Strategies, Erica has continued to build her real estate portfolio as both a passive and active investor, acquire businesses, and provide resources on Infinite Banking education and services for investors. As an Authorized IBC Practitioner, Erica provides information and resources to investors and business owners about the power of the Infinite Banking Concept in their portfolio. As a speaker, Erica's expertise extends to the intersection of mindset and money, unraveling the barriers that hinder personal growth and prevent individuals from realizing their fullest potential and building wealth.
Having become the "Go To" group for creative financial strategies and Infinite Banking, Erica continues to build her businesses and educate on "Real Money Truths", de-mystifying how to build wealth and helping others create a strategic plan for generational impact.
