325. Brand Voice for Women Entrepreneurs: Stop Performing and Start Attracting Your People with Patricia Viscount
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
There are three questions every human being is asking: Do you see me? Do you hear me? And do I matter? When the voice you're putting out into the world doesn't actually sound like you — when it's been sanded down into something professional and polished and unrecognizable — those three questions go unanswered for the very people you are trying to reach. In this episode, I sit down with Patricia Viscount — brand voice strategist, former Canadian Army Public Affairs Officer with NATO tours in Bosnia and Kosovo, and Communication Specialist in the international energy sector — to...

324. Raising Resilient Kids: Why Letting Go Is the Most Loving Thing You Can Do with Randi Crawford
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Parenting. Just that one word is enough to make your shoulders tighten, isn’t it? In this episode, I sit down with Randi Crawford — certified life coach, speaker, author, and mom — to talk honestly about what it actually takes to raise kids who can handle life when you’re not there to fix it for them. Randi spent years coaching young women before she realized the real work needed to happen one generation up — with the moms. What she found, over and over, was that the struggle these girls were experiencing traced directly back to one thing: parents who loved their kids...

318. How to Structure Your Business for Venture Capital Funding with Ms. Cat
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Only 3% of venture capital funding goes to women-owned businesses. But here's the thing—it's not because your idea isn't good enough. It's because of foundational mistakes you're making before you even apply. Business strategist Ms. Cat (Catherine Mitchell) joins Sarah to break down exactly what keeps women entrepreneurs from accessing the billions in funding that's actually available.

317. Breaking Free from Burnout Without Losing Your Edge with Wendy Meadows
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Have you ever felt burned out?

Former family law litigator Wendy Meadows knows this intimately. After years of fighting in courtrooms and bringing that combative energy home, she made a shift that changed everything.

316. How to Stop Being Invisible Online: The Real Work Behind Getting Found with Carrolee Moore
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
You're posting consistently. Writing newsletters that take hours. You've got the degrees, certifications, and experience. But when someone searches for what you do? You're nowhere. If you've ever thought, "I've tried everything and nothing works," this conversation is for you. Sarah sits down with Carrolee Moore, founder of the Podcast Pitching Society, to unpack what it actually means to be visible—especially as a woman entrepreneur in a digital world full of noise.

info_outlineYour success isn't scaring men away. But the energy you had to adopt to build that success? That might be creating a problem you didn't know existed.
In this episode, Sarah talks with Laura Nagiel, a dating and confidence coach who works specifically with high-achieving women. Laura shares why being "twice as masculine as the men around you" at work can completely backfire when you're trying to build a romantic connection—and what to do about it.
They explore the "second gear" successful women need to shift between work mode and dating mode, how to actually assess someone's level of ambition (spoiler: it's not about asking five-year plans), and why self-love—not just self-confidence—determines what you'll actually accept in relationships.
Laura's been through it herself. After a successful PR career and years of dating frustration, she took a year off to study her own patterns. The very first date after that year? Her life partner. Now she helps women understand the psychology of attraction, the masculine-feminine polarity, and how to create the conditions for finding an aligned partner.
This conversation is practical, honest, and refreshing. If you've ever felt like you can build a six-figure business but can't seem to get dating right, this episode is for you.
