326. Seasons of Life for Women Entrepreneurs: Learning to Work With Where You Are with Amber Richardson
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
You know that feeling when you're in the middle of something — a project, a launch, a life transition — and everything feels like pushing water uphill? Like nothing is working, nothing is moving, and you're the only one who can't seem to get it together? In this episode, I sit down with Amber Richardson — life coach, speaker, and author of Seasonal Syncing: A Woman's Guide to Harmony and Wholeness One Season at a Time — to talk about why that feeling isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's a sign that you might be fighting your season instead of working with it. Amber...

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...

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.

322. Tax Tips for Women Entrepreneurs: What the Tax Industry Doesn't Want You to Know with Hannah Cole
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Say the word "taxes" out loud. Did your shoulders just clench? Yeah. That's not an accident. In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Cole — artist, tax expert, author of Taxes for Humans, and founder of Sunlight Tax — to talk about why the tax industry profits from keeping you afraid, and what you can actually do about it. Hannah breaks down the three main IRA options available to self-employed women in plain, clear language that finally makes it click. She talks about why creatives, women, and anyone who doesn't fit the traditional financial mold has been left out of this conversation on...

321. Dating Smart: The Real Reason Successful Women Struggle in Love, with Laura Nagiel
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Your 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.

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Ever felt like your business is technically moving forward—but you're still stuck in the "fine vortex"?

In this powerful episode, Sarah welcomes Dr. LaChelle Wieme, entrepreneur, transformational speaker, and former anesthesiologist, to talk about the invisible "puppet strings" (limiting beliefs) that are running your business on autopilot—and how to cut them.

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. 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. Ms. Cat walks through the NAICS code trap, why...

317. Breaking Free from Burnout Without Losing Your Edge with Wendy Meadows
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Have you ever felt burned out? Not the "I don't feel like working today" kind—but the deep burnout where you're gaining weight you can't explain, nothing brings you joy, and you're hanging on by your fingernails just trying to get through each day? 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. She became a health and wellness coach, discovered how coaching could transform her legal practice, and eventually left litigation for collaborative law and...
info_outlineYou know that feeling when you're in the middle of something — a project, a launch, a life transition — and everything feels like pushing water uphill? Like nothing is working, nothing is moving, and you're the only one who can't seem to get it together?
In this episode, I sit down with Amber Richardson — life coach, speaker, and author of Seasonal Syncing: A Woman's Guide to Harmony and Wholeness One Season at a Time — to talk about why that feeling isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's a sign that you might be fighting your season instead of working with it.
Amber developed her Seasonal Syncing framework after hitting her own wall inside a mastermind — showing up, working hard, and having nothing measurable to show for it. Instead of spiraling (okay, she spiraled a little first), she asked herself a simple question: if my life right now is a season, which one am I in? What followed was years of research, a cross-country move, a seriously ill daughter, and ultimately a self-published book she wrote by candlelight in the quiet dark of the morning. She didn't just write about honoring your seasons. She lived it.
This is one of those conversations that will make you exhale. Because the pressure to always be in spring — always activating, always growing, always visible — is costing us. And there's a better way.
