The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

Spend five minutes on Instagram, and you’ll get a message about something else you need to fix. Buy this hair curler, get these sneakers, and starting tomorrow morning, drink the water, get the sleep, and be the best at everything you do all the time. It’s exhausting, and honestly, it makes us feel terrible. Who can change that many things at once? I’m Sarah Walton, a wealth consciousness coach and the host of the Game On Girlfriend® podcast, where we talk about wealth in every area of life: money, health, relationships, and personal growth. Today, I sit down with Lori Montry, a...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

So many of us have read the books, taken the courses, and really tried to put it all into practice. Over time, maybe one or two things sort of stick. Then you forget them and catch yourself saying, "Oh, God, I know better than this." It's so annoying. If you've been wondering what a girl's got to do to get something to actually stick, you're going to love this episode. I'm Sarah Walton, a wealth consciousness coach and the host of the Game On Girlfriend® podcast, where we talk about wealth in every area of life: money, health, relationships, and personal growth.

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

I talk all the time about how the pathways to wealth are always here. We just don’t always see them. And by wealth, I don’t only mean money. I mean loving what you do, letting your heart be full, and living a life that’s true to you. This conversation is packed with evidence of how real those pathways are. I’m sitting down with Debi Hemmeter, president of the Inner Mountain Foundation and co-founder of the global Lean In movement alongside Sheryl Sandberg. After 25+ years as a Fortune 50 executive at PepsiCo, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America, Debi now helps women stop chasing external...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

There's a specific feeling that hits about 45 seconds after something great happens. You have a great launch, reach a new milestone, or get a raise, and almost right away, your brain starts asking, "What now? Was this enough?" I see it in every single woman I coach. Recently, I realized how much of it was running inside me, too. On this solo episode of the Game On Girlfriend® podcast, I'm giving that feeling a name: the achievement wound. From the outside, it looks like ambition and success, and those things are real. Inside, though, it feels like a treadmill that never stops. In fact, the...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

Some people just make us feel calm. You call them when you're upset, you love being in their presence, and you keep going back for their advice because they feel so wise and so joyful to be around. If those are your people, you're going to love my conversation with Charlotte Jukes. She's one of my favorite people to be with, and there's so much going on right now that a lot of us could use a little of that. I’m sitting down with Charlotte Jukes, an ICM Mastery Method coach, former registered nurse, and host of the Pickleball & Partnership podcast. I’ve spent VIP days with her, and...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

If you run a business, you have to know how to sell — and yet so many of us do this thing I call the mom voice the second it’s time to say a price out loud. Something like, “It’s $300,” in this careful, coaxing tone, like we’re convincing a kid to tie their shoes. Meanwhile we’re talking to a fully capable adult who actually wants to work with us. This week I’m joined by Nikki Rausch, a sales strategist, speaker, and the founder of Sales Maven. Nikki spent 17 years in corporate sales, mostly in a male-dominated, technology-driven world, before she started coaching women...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

My guest this week had a childhood nickname: Muscles. She wasn't the smallest kid on the block, but she could always outrun the boys and knock a softball clean out of the park. Somewhere along the way, that name got buried — and stayed that way for decades. Mary Ellen Loranger is a 56-year-old entrepreneur, author, and wellness leader who’s spent the past eight years, alongside her husband Wayne, coaching thousands of women through nutrition, health, and lifestyle transformation. A former Ironman athlete, she’s spent the last few years building Midlife Strong®, a strength training and...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

My guest this week spent forty years studying death — first as a pathologist doing autopsies, later coaching people from inside her own pathology office. What she found in that work wasn't morbid. She found more life force in the morgue than she usually found walking around on an ordinary day, and that contradiction sent her looking for why. Sabine O'Laughlin calls what she found the mother line: the idea that everybody has one mother, whatever your relationship with her looks like, and that mother gave you exactly one thing — your life. Until you can accept that fully, Sabine says, you...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

Lindsey Busfield’s resume doesn’t look like it belongs to one person. Starbucks barista. English teacher. Auditor of Amish chicken barns. Now she’s the vice president of one of the country’s top legal marketing firms. None of it was the plan. For years, Lindsey figured she’d eventually run her own business, the same way her entrepreneurial parents had. Then a two-day aptitude test told her something different: she wasn’t built to be the visionary founder. She was built to be the expert, the organizer, the person who makes the pieces actually run. In this episode, Lindsey and I talk...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

Most of us think certainty means confidence — that bold, "everything always works out for me" kind of energy. It doesn't. Confidence is built on evidence: you earn it by looking back at what you've already proven. Certainty is different. It's a deep inner knowing you can access before you have any proof at all, and it's one of the most important skills for building a genuinely wealthy life — not just a life with more money in it, but one where you trust your next move even when you can't yet explain why. In this solo episode, I break down the real difference between certainty and...

More Episodes

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 nothing feels controllable at all. We get into her "saber-tooth tiger" business model, the moment she shut her mastermind down overnight, and why she now believes everyone can heal, even when not everyone gets a cure.

If you've ever pushed through something your gut told you to stop and look at, pop in those earphones.

 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • How Bron's "saber-tooth tiger" model fed off her own energy until she couldn't safely get off
  • Why "just let it go" can feel dismissive — and what Bron does instead when emotion hits
  • How Bron's husband uses "the pause" to create space before reacting
  • What it means to be the CEO of your own "executive committee," and who actually belongs on it
  • Why Bron wants the word "cure" dropped from how we talk about cancer altogether
  • How a roadmap, not a fixed plan, helped Bron navigate setbacks without losing direction

 

RESOURCES MENTIONED

  • The Serenity Prayer (referenced by Bron throughout the episode)

  • Bron's upcoming book, Be Where Your Feet Are
