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...

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...

From choosing the wrong business name to using your personal Gmail account, these structural errors are disqualifying you before funders even look at your pitch.

You did the hard part. You sorted through the closets, cleared out the garage, and made the piles. Now you are standing there looking at all of it, wondering what actually comes next.

That is exactly the problem Jessica James built Madilyn James to solve.

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica — serial entrepreneur, tech founder, and the woman behind a brand new e-commerce platform built specifically for people who want to sell secondhand items online without juggling multiple platforms, paying anything upfront, or figuring out a marketing strategy on top of everything else.

Jessica walks us through how Madilyn James works, how she got here after building and selling a background screening company in 2020, and what it actually looks like to set up a free storefront and list your first item in under a minute. We also get into the decluttering process itself — where to start, how to sort what you sell versus what you donate, and why clearing your space is just as good for your mental clarity as it is for your bank account.

If you have been sitting on a pile of quality items you no longer need, or you have been looking for a low-cost, low-risk way to bring in extra income, this episode gives you a real, practical place to start.
