The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Roberta Ravella spent 25 years in mortgage origination. She was good at it. She was also, by her own account, a classic case of burnout. She tried coaching. She tried marketing. She even opened an AI business with a friend. Two months in, something in her said no, and she couldn't push past it the way she used to. So she stopped. Her mentor sent her on a six-week break with one rule: shut it all off. What Roberta found on the other side of that break is what she now calls The Joy Experiment. This conversation is about what it took to get there, and what her mornings look like now that she's...

Most of us don't actually have trouble making money. It's the keeping of it — the receiving of it — that's the problem. If you added up how much money has passed through your hands over your lifetime, the number would probably surprise you. It comes in, you manage it, you pay bills, and then it's "gone," so you never really see how much you're circulating. That's not a money-making problem. That's a receiving problem, and most women were never taught the skill. In this solo episode, I break down what receiving actually is, why we were never taught to do it, and how you can start practicing...

For years, Abi Horton believed real estate investing wasn't for her. Not enough money, not enough experience, not the right background. So she stayed on the sidelines and told herself it was something for later. Then things shifted, not through one big moment, but through a lot of small, unplanned ones. Voice acting taught her she was capable of running a business. That confidence opened a door she hadn't been looking for, and stepping through it eventually led to Aros, a real estate investment technology company built around mid-term rentals. Abi is candid about what that process actually...

Some days you do everything right, and by 3 p.m. you're still completely wiped out. That's not burnout from working too hard. It's the specific exhaustion of doing tasks that were never yours to carry in the first place. In this solo episode, I walk through the exact questions I ask my own clients when they tell me they should be further along by now, or that something feels harder for them than it looks for everyone else online. Grab a journal, because I want you to actually answer these questions as you listen. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The exact question to ask when a task drains you,...

Most of us have been told, at some point or another, to just be happy. Just let it go. Just choose joy. And if you've tried that and found it completely unhelpful, you are in very good company. Dr. Peggy DeLong is back on the podcast for her third visit, and what she shares in this episode about how to increase your capacity for happiness is not what most people are teaching. It's not about ignoring what's hard. It's not about thinking positively until the feeling kicks in. And it has nothing to do with luck or your current circumstances. Peggy discovered the power of gratitude while sitting...

Some women market without even trying, and their posts land, their emails get opened, their offers sell. Meanwhile, you're doing all the right things and still hearing crickets. The difference usually isn't talent. It's whether you've actually mapped your customer journey. In episode 336, I released a free lesson from my signature program, Effortless Sales, and the response was so strong that I wanted to share another one. This lesson is all about the customer journey, from the moment someone meets you to the moment they buy and beyond. Grab a journal for this one. It's short, but it's dense....

Most of us grip tighter when life feels uncertain. We work harder, plan more, and try to control everything within reach. This week I'm joined by Bron Watson, a nurse, educator, and entrepreneur who built a thriving coaching business while a quiet voice kept telling her something wasn't right. She ignored it until a breast cancer diagnosis in 2017 changed everything. Five years later, a second diagnosis followed: an incurable blood cancer. In this conversation, Bron and I talk about what it costs to override your own intuition, and what it actually means to control the controllables when...

You could find fifteen strategies in ten seconds. Ask ChatGPT, ask Claude; they'll hand you every tactic on the internet. Strategy was never the hard part. This week I'm pulling back the curtain on my Wealthy CEO Intensive, a three-day experience I just wrapped with a small group of women. I walk through what happened on each day and why so many smart, capable women hit a ceiling that strategy alone can't explain. This one's for the woman who's already done the work, already seen success, and still feels like the money slips through her hands faster than it should. Pop in those earphones....

If the pace of running your business has felt heavier lately — more noise, more pressure, more competition for attention — this episode is for you. This week I'm joined by Kami Guildner, a business coach for high-vibe women entrepreneurs. Last year, she put her usual work aside and spent months just listening — having real conversations with hundreds of women business owners about what was actually going on for them. What she heard surprised her, and it might surprise you too. We get into what she learned, how it's showing up in the businesses that are actually growing right now, and...

When you hear "limited-time offer" or "doors closing Friday," how do you feel? If you're like a lot of women entrepreneurs, one of two things happens. Either you avoid these tools entirely because they feel manipulative — or you use them while holding your breath, hoping you don't come across as pushy. Here's what I want you to know: it doesn't have to feel that way. This episode is actually lesson 10 from Effortless Sales, a 12-week course I used to offer that has since evolved into The Art of Receiving. I was going through the archives with my team, and it was so clear we had to publish...
info_outlineThere 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 talk about why so many coaches and consultants perform a version of professionalism that has nothing to do with who they actually are, and what it looks like to finally stop.
You are going to love Patricia's story. There were several points in our conversation where my mouth was just open. This woman has been through things most people haven't. She has seen things most people haven't seen. And what she does now — helping entrepreneurs uncover the genuine voice that was already there — makes complete sense when you hear where she's been.
This conversation is also going to remind you of how abundant your life is. And how much we all owe to the people who stand up and use their voices every day, inspiring the rest of us to do the same.
