307. Stop Hustling & Start Leading with Grace: The Grace Codes with Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh

307. Stop Hustling & Start Leading with Grace: The Grace Codes with Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh
You can't 10X your business by just working harder. Actually, the harder you push, the more you push away what you're trying to create. Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh shares The Grace Codes framework—and this conversation wrecked me in the best way. Five hours into climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, a guide asked Dr. Kelly to hand over her backpack. She refused. Every other woman had surrendered theirs, but she insisted she was fine. Then she realized she was weaving on the trail—a sign of oxygen deprivation she hadn't even noticed. The truth? It took 28 porters and guides to get 5 women to the summit. You need a village to scale anything meaningful. But first, you've gotta say yes when someone offers help. In this episode: The Grace Codes framework (Release, Reclaim, Rewrite, Receive), power amnesia, worthiness work, and why the woman who got you here won't take you to your next level without burning you out. Dr. Kelly is the founder of the Gen X 10X movement. She recently raised $40K climbing Kilimanjaro to build a school in Tanzania. What You'll Learn The Grace Codes: 4 steps from survival to surrender (Release, Reclaim, Rewrite, Receive) Why "power amnesia" keeps you from remembering how powerful you are How to separate worthiness from productivity and bank account balance Why receiving is the hardest step for high-achieving women How Dr. Kelly went from $130K in debt to tripling her business without working harder What Human Design reveals about your energetic blueprint for success The Great Pause is happening right now, and what it means for women entrepreneurs Why it takes a village to 10X anything meaningful Related Episodes You Might Love Episode 270: The Truth About Learning to Manifest with Alea Lovely Episode 227: How to Clear a Money Fog with Mikelann Valterra Episode 299: From Corporate Layoffs to Creative Freedom with Trinette Faint Special gift from Dr. Kelly Martin Schuh Free Human Design Chart: Discover your unique energetic blueprint for 10Xing your success without the hustle.

298. How to Become Your Own Bank: Infinite Banking for Women Entrepreneurs with Erica Neal
What if the key to financial freedom wasn't another retirement account… but a completely different way of thinking about money? In this episode of The Game On Girlfriend® Podcast, Sarah sits down with finance educator and founder Erica Neal to talk about infinite banking—a strategy that uses custom-designed life insurance policies to help you grow wealth, keep liquidity, and still protect your future. What You'll Learn Erica shares her unfiltered story: from teen mom to Wall Street to building her own wealth management firm, centered on empowering financial education. The conversation dives into: What infinite banking actually is (and the myths that keep people nervous) How the wealthy use these policies for funding projects, reinvesting, and creating a legacy Why compounding interest and control matter more than flashy returns Erica's "buried vs. planted" concept—how to grow through challenging seasons Episode Summary This isn't your typical financial advice episode. Erica breaks down exactly how infinite banking works with real numbers - you typically get 80% access to your money in year one, dollar-for-dollar by year four, and often more than you put in by year five thanks to compound growth. She tackles the biggest concerns head-on, like why those acquisition costs aren't actually problems, but rather smart, long-term moves. You'll hear how to use policy loans while your money keeps earning, why dividends from mutual insurance companies add extra returns, and how this fits with your other investments instead of replacing them. Erica's journey from Wall Street product-pusher to genuine wealth strategist shows what happens when you put clients first.

Though she was able to obtain success & company recognition for her achievements, Erica knew there was a better way to build her clients' wealth. To provide more comprehensive strategies for her clients, Erica left the large box company to join a boutique, independent financial firm where her planning process transitioned from a narrow focus on rate of return to building efficient cash flow strategies and increasing income through alternative assets and the Infinite Banking Concept. In addition to expanding her financial planning methods, Erica also began to invest in real estate. Eventually, Erica and David White decided to merge their practices and open their own firm to focus on their passion…. cash flow strategy. Since co-launching Infinity Investment Strategies, Erica has continued to build her real estate portfolio as both a passive and active investor, acquire businesses, and provide resources on Infinite Banking education and services for investors. As an Authorized IBC Practitioner, Erica provides information and resources to investors and business owners about the power of the Infinite Banking Concept in their portfolio. As a speaker, Erica's expertise extends to the intersection of mindset and money, unraveling the barriers that hinder personal growth and prevent individuals from realizing their fullest potential and building wealth. Having become the "Go To" group for creative financial strategies and Infinite Banking, Erica continues to build her businesses and educate on "Real Money Truths", de-mystifying how to build wealth and helping others create a strategic plan for generational impact.

296. Money, Motherhood & Multifamily: Creating True Freedom With Mandy McAllister
09/02/2025
296. Money, Motherhood & Multifamily: Creating True Freedom With Mandy McAllister
What does real financial freedom look like for a mom? It's not about choosing between wealth and presence - it's about creating both. In this powerful conversation, Sarah sits down with real estate investor and GoBundance Women leader Mandy McAllister to explore how women can build genuine freedom through smart property investing. Mandy's story starts with a tear-filled breakdown in a hospital parking lot and transforms into a blueprint for escaping corporate burnout without sacrificing family time. From medical device sales to building a real estate empire centered on values (not hustle), she proves that you can think bigger, move smarter, and stop waiting to prioritize your real life. This isn't your typical real estate podcast episode. This is about feminine energy in business, receiving instead of forcing, and creating wealth with intention rather than endless grinding. Whether you're starting from scratch or ready to level up your existing portfolio, consider this your permission slip to finally take action. What You'll Learn The exact moment Mandy knew she had to leave corporate (and how $2,000 in rental income saved her) Why multifamily investing beats single-family properties every time Her house hacking strategy that eliminates housing costs while building wealth How to manage properties with intention, not burnout The difference between masculine "attack mode" and feminine receiving energy in business Practical steps for moms who want both wealth and presence with their families Why going bigger in real estate is actually easier (and the government incentives that prove it) How she turned property renovation into bonding time with her teenage daughter Episode Summary Beyond the real estate strategies, this episode reveals the deeper transformation possible when women reject hustle culture for sustainable wealth building. Mandy's house hacking approach eliminates housing costs while the live-in flip method can generate hundreds of thousands in tax-free profits - but the real magic happens in the mindset shifts. The conversation explores why multifamily properties offer better financing and easier management than single-family investments, with government incentives that make larger deals more accessible. Mandy's daily dashboard system allows her to manage 373 units without being tied to her phone, proving that scaling doesn't require sacrificing presence. A standout moment involves Mandy and her 15-year-old daughter spending 36 hours renovating a rental unit together - work that created deeper bonding than typical parent-teen interactions while teaching practical wealth-building skills. This hands-on approach demonstrates how real estate investing can strengthen family relationships while building generational wealth. Sarah and Mandy discuss their upcoming collaboration and the movement they're creating for women who refuse to choose between financial success and family connection. The episode includes exclusive access to Mandy's signature course for listeners ready to begin their own real estate journey.

295. Making More Money Doesn't Start with Marketing
You're told to niche down, get visible, raise your prices, do the things. And you want to—you're smart, you're trained, maybe you have certifications stacked like pancakes. But still, something keeps stalling. In this episode, I'm sharing why strategy only works when your nervous system actually feels safe receiving success. Through real coaching stories and scientific insights, discover the hidden connection between your childhood experiences, nervous system responses, and your ability to earn more money. This isn't about branding or marketing—it's about the inner work that makes or breaks your next chapter. Learn why profit comes AFTER safety and how to build a business from the inside out. What You'll Learn Why highly educated, certified professionals struggle to sell their services despite having all the qualifications How to spot when what looks like self-sabotage is actually your nervous system trying to protect you The real reason you keep procrastinating, undervaluing your work, or avoiding follow-up calls Why success feels dangerous instead of thrilling if you grew up in chaos, poverty, or pressure How childhood experiences of instability directly impact your adult earning capacity and business confidence The difference between building confidence through external validation versus internal safety How to hold your pricing like a spell, not a price tag, and develop unshakeable confidence in your worth Why your "weird" passions and unconventional life chapters are actually your biggest business advantages The concept of nervous system anchoring and creating emotional contracts with yourself for success Practical steps to build safety before you build your brand, so your strategy actually works How to shift from "I can do this once I'm more confident" to "confidence comes through doing" Why feeling behind or stuck doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong—you're just building on the right foundation Key Topics Covered • Nervous system regulation for entrepreneurs • Trauma-informed business coaching approaches • The connection between childhood experiences and adult earning capacity • Self-sabotage patterns in high-achieving women • Safety versus growth in business development • Internal blocks to pricing and visibility • Converting unique life experiences into business value • The psychology of money and success fears • Healing as a prerequisite to business growth • Building containers for client transformation Episode Summary In this powerful solo episode, Sarah is challenging everything you've been told about building a successful business. Opening with the frustration many entrepreneurs feel—having all the right credentials and training but still feeling stuck—Sarah introduces her revolutionary concept that "you earn at the speed of safety." Through intimate coaching stories, she reveals how a client learned to hold her pricing "like a spell, not a price tag," and how confidence doesn't come from external validation but from building internal safety first. Sarah explains the neuroscience behind why success feels dangerous to those who grew up in chaos or instability, and how what we label as "self-sabotage" is often brilliant self-protection. The episode explores how your unconventional story and "weird" passions are actually your greatest business advantages, not obstacles to overcome. Sarah addresses the common entrepreneurial fear of being "behind" or "late," reframing this experience as being perfectly positioned to build sustainable success on a solid foundation. Throughout the episode, Sarah weaves together psychology, neuroscience, and practical business wisdom to create a roadmap for building businesses from the inside out. She emphasizes that the real work isn't about perfecting your marketing funnel—it's about creating safety within your nervous system so that strategy can actually work. The episode concludes with an invitation to examine where you still feel unsafe to be seen, receive, or trust yourself, positioning these insights as the true portal to business transformation and sustainable income growth.

The conversation begins with AnnMarie's unique approach to scaling: building businesses that fuel both income and life satisfaction. She addresses the common fear many entrepreneurs face when they hear "scale" - the terror of returning to the exhausting chaos of their startup days. AnnMarie emphasizes that scaling is about strategic refinement and leveraging existing assets, not starting over from scratch. AnnMarie reveals her powerful reframe for scaling that eliminates overwhelm. She breaks down her signature paid workshop strategy, explaining why specificity sells in today's marketplace, and she outlines her complete life-proof business framework.

She also discusses how to adapt business models during major life transitions, proving that sustainable growth is possible even during significant personal changes. Throughout the interview, AnnMarie provides practical frameworks for building what she calls a "life-proof business" - one that supports entrepreneurs' dream lives rather than consuming them. The conversation covers offer suite refinement, strategic messaging, and the mindset shifts necessary for sustainable scaling without working more hours. The episode is particularly valuable for entrepreneurs who have achieved initial success but feel stretched thin and are afraid that growth means returning to unsustainable work patterns.

293. Detours Are Inevitable, Suffering Is Not
When Sarah's car breaks down on the highway with six teenage girls after their perfect Martha's Vineyard vacation, what could have been a disaster becomes an unexpected lesson in joy and resilience. In this vulnerable and insightful episode, Sarah shares how these young women taught her that suffering through life's setbacks is optional, not mandatory. That joy doesn't have to be earned through struggle-it's our birthright when we stop demanding life follow our script. What You'll Learn: How to shift from automatic suffering to conscious joy when plans fall apart Why teenagers often demonstrate better resilience than adults in crisis situations The difference between toxic positivity and genuine emotional flexibility during setbacks How to maintain access to joy even when circumstances aren't ideal Why releasing control over outcomes can lead to unexpected breakthroughs Practical strategies for turning detours into adventures in business and life How to model healthy responses to disruption for others in your care The mindset shift that transforms obstacles into opportunities for deeper connection In this powerful episode of Game On Girlfriend®, Sarah Walton transforms a highway car breakdown into a masterclass on resilience and joy. When her vehicle dies while driving six teenage girls home from Martha's Vineyard, what begins as every parent's nightmare becomes an unexpected adventure filled with TJ Maxx perfume testing, Starbucks phone charging sessions, and parking lot volleyball games. Through this raw and honest storytelling, Sarah explores how these young women demonstrated something profound about approaching life's inevitable detours: suffering through setbacks is a choice, not a requirement. While adults often automatically shift into stress mode when plans fall apart, these teenagers showed her how to maintain access to joy regardless of circumstances. The episode delves deep into the cultural conditioning that teaches us we must "earn" happiness through struggle, and how releasing our grip on control can open us to experiences more beautiful than our original plans. Sarah shares practical insights for business owners and parents about modeling healthy responses to disruption, finding community in chaos, and choosing adventure over anxiety when life doesn't go according to script. This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine-it's about recognizing that our response to disruption matters more than the disruption itself. That joy is our birthright when we stop demanding the universe follow our timeline.

292. Business Success Isn't a Race. It's a Frequency: What Happens When Strategy Isn't the Answer Anymore
In this transformative solo episode, abundance expert and business coach Sarah Walton reveals why traditional business strategies often fall short and shares the energetic approach to growth that's changing everything for ambitious women entrepreneurs. Through personal stories, including a remarkable synchronicity involving a pair of jeans, Sarah explores how shifting from chasing to receiving can revolutionize your business results. If you've built a successful business but still feel stuck, exhausted, or like you're forcing every outcome, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on scaling with soul, strategy, and sanity. What You'll Learn: 1. Why "just being strategic" stops working at higher levels of business success 2. The difference between chasing abundance and allowing it to flow to you naturally 3. How your nervous system impacts your ability to scale sustainably 4. The power of making clear requests to the universe while releasing attachment to outcomes 5. Why community and being truly seen are essential for business expansion 6. Real client transformation stories that prove it's about becoming, not just doing 7. How to shift from over-functioning to receiving what's already trying to reach you 8. The energetic frequency that successful entrepreneurs embody versus those who struggle Sarah Walton challenges the conventional wisdom that business success comes solely from better strategies and harder work. Drawing from 18 years of entrepreneurial experience, she reveals how the most successful business owners operate from a different frequency altogether-one of alignment, trust, and receiving rather than constant chasing and forcing. The episode opens with Sarah's powerful assertion that "businesses don't fail, they quit," setting the stage for a deeper exploration of what happens when entrepreneurs move beyond survival mode into true abundance. Through the delightful story of manifesting the perfect pair of jeans, Sarah illustrates how the universe responds when we make clear requests without attachment, demonstrating principles that directly apply to business growth.

291. From Corporate Exec to AI Oracle - How Rachel Loewenherz Built Star Path to Heal the World Through Astrology and AI
07/29/2025
291. From Corporate Exec to AI Oracle - How Rachel Loewenherz Built Star Path to Heal the World Through Astrology and AI
What happens when a Yale-educated tech executive loses everything and builds an AI that reads your soul? In this powerful episode, Sarah sits down with Rachel Loewenherz, founder of Star Path AI, to explore the intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology for business strategy. After surviving four pregnancy losses, corporate layoffs, and a profound spiritual awakening, Rachel combined her market research expertise with deep astrological knowledge to create Star Path—an AI Oracle that helps entrepreneurs understand their cosmic blueprint for success. This isn't about generic business advice; it's about discovering how you're uniquely wired to make money, communicate authentically, and build a business that feels aligned with your soul. Rachel shares her journey from feeling like "a red hot Ferrari who thought she was a minivan" to building spiritual infrastructure that's helping women entrepreneurs worldwide navigate uncertainty with cosmic clarity. Learn why your second house reveals your money blueprint, how AI can make ancient wisdom actionable, and why the wobbliness you're feeling in business might be exactly where you're supposed to be. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting your business journey, this conversation will shift how you think about strategy, authenticity, and the power of knowing yourself at the deepest level. What You'll Learn: How to identify your unique money blueprint using astrological insights Why traditional business strategies might be failing you (and what to do instead) The difference between spiritual entertainment and actionable self-knowledge How AI can compress complex astrological data into daily business decisions Why we're in an "Age of Aquarius" moment of decentralization and what it means for entrepreneurs How to use cosmic timing for launches, marketing, and major business decisions The power of receiving as a core leadership strength in uncertain times How to create marketing that sounds authentically like you (not generic AI copy) Why abundance doesn't always mean wealth and how to define it for yourself Strategies for navigating business challenges during collective transformation In this transformative episode of Game On Girlfriend®, host Sarah Walton welcomes Rachel Loewenherz, the Yale-educated founder of Star Path AI, for a deep conversation about combining ancient wisdom with modern technology to create aligned businesses. Rachel's story begins in corporate America, where despite professional success, she felt increasingly disconnected from her purpose. After surviving multiple pregnancy losses and experiencing betrayal in the business world - including being laid off on the day she was promised a VP promotion - Rachel found herself at a crossroads. The turning point came through an astrology reading where she learned she was "a red hot Ferrari who thought she was a minivan." This revelation sparked years of study in spiritual healing modalities. Eventually, it led to the creation of Star Path, an AI Oracle that uses astrological data to provide personalized business guidance. Unlike traditional AI tools that offer generic advice, Star Path understands each user's unique cosmic blueprint. The platform helps entrepreneurs understand their money-making patterns, optimal communication styles, and ideal timing for major business decisions. Rachel explains how your astrological "second house" reveals specific information about how you're designed to generate wealth and what abundance truly means for you personally. The conversation explores why we're living through a significant collective shift - what Rachel calls the "Age of Aquarius" - characterized by decentralization of power and information. This explains why many entrepreneurs feel "wobbly" right now; we're in a period of necessary transformation where old systems are breaking down to make way for more authentic, aligned ways of doing business. Sarah and Rachel discuss practical applications of cosmic business strategy, including why certain marketing approaches feel completely wrong for some people while working perfectly for others. Rachel shares her own experience of trying TikTok marketing because "everyone said to go viral," only to have it fail spectacularly because her chart indicated she should "optimize for resonance over reach." The episode concludes with insights about the future of entrepreneurship, where knowing yourself deeply becomes the ultimate competitive advantage. As AI makes professional-quality marketing accessible to everyone, authenticity and personal truth become the key differentiators. About Rachel Loewenherz: Rachel Loewenherz is the founder of Star Path—an AI oracle powered by astrology. She's a Yale-educated business strategist & tech marketer, former Chief of Staff, and 2-time CEO. But that's just on paper. Behind the scenes, Rachel was losing pregnancies, healing from PTSD, and having a massive spiritual awakening. That's when she found astrology. Now she's building Star Path—an AI that helps people remember who they are and become who they came here to be.

290. From Cash Flow Crisis to Confident CEO with Jennifer Kok
Small business owner Jennifer Kok opened her cookie business and delivered her second daughter just two days later—literally delivering babies and cookies on the same day. After running her business for 20 years and experiencing everything from bounced paychecks to franchise success, Jennifer now helps overwhelmed entrepreneurs transform into confident CEOs without burning out on social media. In this raw and honest conversation, Jennifer shares the real statistics behind small business failure (spoiler: they don't fail, they quit). She reveals the predictable pattern that causes entrepreneurs to walk away right before their breakthrough. From managing cash flow crises to building your personal board of directors, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy middle of entrepreneurship. It provides actionable strategies for pushing through the plateau. If you've ever felt isolated in your business, questioned whether you're cut out for entrepreneurship, or wondered how to pay yourself properly, this episode offers both practical solutions and the emotional support every business owner needs to hear. What You'll Learn Why 50% of small businesses actually quit rather than fail, and how to avoid becoming part of that statistic The predictable pattern that hits entrepreneurs around year 3-4 and how to navigate "the messy middle" How to build your personal board of directors with five specific types of advisors The critical difference between working in your business versus working on your business How to conduct a business breakthrough strategy, starting with your numbers Why profit margins matter more than revenue and how to calculate what you're really earning How to find your micro audience and unique differentiator without fear-based thinking Cash flow management fundamentals that prevent payroll crises The mindset shifts that separate successful entrepreneurs from those who quit This episode features Jennifer Kok, a business coach with 25 years of entrepreneurial experience who literally delivered her baby and cookie orders on the same day she opened her business. Jennifer challenges the common belief that small businesses fail, arguing instead that they quit, particularly around the 3-4 year mark when entrepreneurs hit what she calls "the messy middle." The conversation covers Jennifer's journey from corporate America to cookie business owner, including a humbling moment when she had to put payroll on a credit card during a family vacation. This crisis became a turning point that led her to master business fundamentals and eventually help other entrepreneurs avoid similar pitfalls. Key insights include the importance of building a personal board of directors (comprising five specific types of advisors), understanding profit margins over vanity metrics such as revenue, and developing systems for working on your business rather than just in it. Jennifer emphasizes that entrepreneurial challenges aren't character flaws but navigation points toward better systems. That isolation kills more businesses than a bad strategy.

287. The $68 Trillion Wealth Transfer: Why the Future of Money is Feminine with Chelsea Williams

287. The $68 Trillion Wealth Transfer: Why the Future of Money is Feminine with Chelsea Williams
The largest wealth transfer in human history is already underway - and women are positioned to inherit the majority of it. But most women aren't prepared for what's coming, and the implications extend far beyond individual bank accounts. In this transformative episode, I sit down with Chelsea Williams, fractional CFO and self-proclaimed "money whisperer," who reveals the shocking truth about women's exclusion from the financial system and why the next 20 years will reshape society itself. Chelsea accidentally discovered accounting in college when everyone told her to avoid it. That "mistake" led to a career revelation: she had a natural gift for numbers, but more importantly, she understood that money conversations needed a completely different approach - especially for women. Episode Highlights: The Historical Context Most Women Don't Know Chelsea breaks down the "financial algorithm" - how the financial system was built by and for white male property owners for 99% of its existence. Women couldn't even get credit cards without male co-signers until 50 years ago. We were literally listed as assets on men's financial applications. The Coming Wealth Revolution, as baby boomers pass away over the next two decades, trillions of dollars will transfer to their heirs - with the majority going to women. This represents the first time in history that women will control this level of wealth, but it also threatens to dramatically widen the wealth gap. Why Women Handle Money Differently Research shows that when women control financial resources, entire communities benefit. We're natural multipliers - whatever you give us, we make it grow and share it. But we've been taught to negotiate and invest using masculine strategies that don't align with our strengths. A Revolutionary Social Impact Vision Chelsea shares her groundbreaking project: converting vacant nursing homes (left empty as boomers pass away) into supportive community living spaces for single mothers, complete with financial literacy programs, childcare, and mentorship. It's a perfect example of how women can use inherited wealth to create systemic change. The Skills We Need Now Financial literacy isn't optional anymore - it's essential preparation for this generational shift. But Chelsea emphasizes we don't need to become masculine to succeed. We need to lean into our natural strengths while building competency in negotiation, investment strategy, and wealth management. What You'll Learn: Why the wage gap is partially about skills we were never taught (and how to close it) The generational patterns embedded in women's DNA around money How to prepare yourself and your business for unprecedented economic change Why supporting other women isn't just nice - it's strategically essential The balance needed as men navigate their changing role in this new paradigm This conversation will fundamentally shift how you think about money, opportunity, and your role in the largest wealth transfer in human history. The future truly is feminine - but only if we step into it with intention and preparation. Guest Bio: Chelsea Williams is a fractional CFO, money strategist, and founder of Money Mastery. With over a decade of experience working with entrepreneurs and individuals on their finances, she's discovered that money conversations are "always and never about the money." Her mission is to splash color on the traditionally black-and-white topic of finance, especially for women preparing for unprecedented economic opportunity.

286. Mastering Magnetic Communication Through Masculine/Feminine Balance with Nicola Navon
When your business relationships mirror your personal ones, there's a deeper pattern at work. Nicola Navon, relationship communication coach and host of the Divine Union podcast, discovered this firsthand when her people-pleasing patterns in romantic relationships showed up as client codependency in her business. In this conversation, Nicola shares her signature Union Method framework and explains how balancing masculine energy (structure, boundaries, direct communication) with feminine energy (intuition, receptivity, play) creates magnetic communication that builds both intimacy and influence. You'll discover why vulnerability without grounding leads to collapse, how to communicate desires from empowerment rather than desperation, and the critical difference between healthy manifesting and controlling behavior that kills results. Whether you're struggling with client boundaries, romantic relationships, or finding your authentic voice as a leader, this episode offers practical strategies that work in both boardrooms and bedrooms. What You'll Learn Why people-pleasing in relationships creates codependent client dynamics How masculine energy grounds you so feminine energy can play The courage required to discover what you actually want versus what you think you should want Practical steps for identifying your needs and communicating them powerfully Why control kills manifestation and how to take action without forcing outcomes How to hold yourself through rejection while continuing to show up authentically The connection between your internal relationship and all external relationships About Nicola Nicola Navon is a speaker, communication, and leadership coach who specializes in relational dynamics. As the host of the Divine Union podcast, she helps individuals master the art of influence and create vibrant, impactful relationships in leadership, love, and life. Her signature Union Method framework blends three core pillars: balance, communication, and polarity energetics. Nicola bridges self-mastery and thriving relationships, understanding that who you are at work shapes who you are in relationships and vice versa Connect with Nicola Podcast: Episode Highlights "Two people choosing to relate with each other. Not out of codependency, not out of need, but out of true depth." "I couldn't until I worked on my healing my masculine and bringing it in. I wasn't able to put myself out there in relationships and business as vulnerable." "Think of the masculine like it's your roots of a tree. It's your groundedness in who you are, what you're about, the agency behind your words, the conviction in what you say."

285. Creating a Multi-Million Dollar Franchise Business Out of Joy with Rhea Lana Riner
06/17/2025
285. Creating a Multi-Million Dollar Franchise Business Out of Joy with Rhea Lana Riner
When I tell you you can start a business out of anything, do you have like an internal eye roll? Today’s guest started a business out of her living room. You can start a company simply because you want to help others. It really is that simple, but simple doesn’t mean easy. Rhea Lana Riner is the CEO and founder of Rhea Lana’s Children Consignment Events, a national franchise with 120 locations in 26 states. What started as a simple clothing swap in her living room has evolved into a multi-million-dollar business. Listen for the moments of courage – we're talking about the courage to start small and try again when something doesn't work exactly as planned the first time. It takes courage to keep going when you're not sure what the next step will look like. Rhea Lana was a stay-at-home mom who grew up in a military family. She was an introvert and, according to her, not someone you'd call a leader. “There was a season in our life where my husband left the corporate world and went into nonprofit work. We moved to another state, and I had these three small children under the age of five,” says Rhea Lana. She loved the hunt for secondhand shopping. However, the experiences with secondhand shopping weren't great at that time, ranging from garage sales to consignment stores – Rhea Lana felt there had to be a better way with more accountability. She got 11 women to sign up as consignors. It was a win. But no shoppers came to her first sale. She asked for a second chance and got to work on grassroots invitations. She printed flyers and made yard signs. “I wanted each mom that was selling her things with me; I wanted her to be able to see exactly what sold and exactly how much so that there would be no questions of just integrity of what happened.” You really can start with nothing and turn it into something. As women we're so creative; we generate idea after idea. It's essential that we find joy in what we do in business, and we don't have to undertake huge, risky ventures. It can be moment by moment. Rhea Lana says for that first sale, expectations were low. She remembers when she made $200; it was a win. She went out and bought a fancy purse – the first new thing she'd bought for herself in a long time. “Because all the money that came in, it went for the kids, or the bills, or the house payment. And I do think that's what women do experience,” says Rhea Lana. “We tend to put ourselves last. And so when I did this little business, all of a sudden, Of course, there was some tension.” She had to spend money but also felt the freedom to buy for herself, which was motivating. She says that the push for growth helped her narrow her focus to grow and increase her earnings. Her business grew gradually with each event. After working for a few years, Rhea Lana realized she was making in one event what a friend made in a year. “It was just part of the journey of probably giving me the push I needed to kind of take that next step towards franchising.” She didn't have the money to hire a consultant; instead, her sister helped her test an event in another community. She read "Franchising for Dummies". “It just kind of felt manageable. And, sure, there's a level of risk, but just a small amount. And we didn't know if anybody would buy it. I had no idea.” For some women, chasing their dreams or finding their purpose in life is about being good at what they do. Success isn't cookie-cutter. Expanding into your joy and what truly makes you happy and trusting yourself to have the courage to take step after step -- that's a little bit different for everybody. Free gift: Book a complimentary, 30-minute consultation call to offer women in your audience valuable insights on the next step in their journey. Maybe it's a business or entrepreneurial interest in our franchise system, or maybe it's something else.

284. Why Marketing Online Feels Awful with Authority Coach Christine Blosdale
06/10/2025
284. Why Marketing Online Feels Awful with Authority Coach Christine Blosdale
Is marketing online enough to make you want to stick a fork in your eye? If you've been feeling that way, I want you to know one, you're not alone, and two, something's happening in online marketing that not enough people are talking about: the authenticity factor. We have a nose for BS. We know when people feel desperate. We know when things aren't going well. We know when someone is showing up just to show up, because they think they're supposed to. If you've been wondering how you can show up in an authentic way and have people really be attracted to you and not in the I'm going to call it the “white broligarchy way”, but in the, “Hey, I have this amazing thing and I think I can help way,” -- this is going to be the episode that's going to help you get there. Christine Blosdale is the expert authority business coach. She successfully guided more than 500 business owners, coaches, authors, and nonprofits in developing and expanding their brand and business, helping them achieve magnificent growth and success. If you've been feeling stuck about how to market and how to show up just as yourself, you're going to want to pop in those earphones. Christine says her whole trajectory has always been about helping people and creating. From speaking the truth in assessing a client’s work, to helping them share their natural gifts, she says it’s about zeroing on each person’s individual superpower. “I use my intuition when I'm working with clients to see their expert authority, their gift,” says Christine. “If they're not conveying that in a real clear way, as a lot of business owners, a lot of entrepreneurs do, then they need just need help in getting the word out the message.” She remembers helping her mother get ready for work each day. Her mom would always ask how she looked, seeking Christine’s opinion. “At a really young age, I think that formulated something within me that, oh, I have value in what I, you know, what I think,” says Christine. “To this day, if I go to a hotel or a spa or wherever, a restaurant, I'll pick out the things that they're doing well.” This extends to her clients. She says especially as women, we suffer from limited beliefs about what we can accomplish and imposter syndrome. “My job is to really dismantle all of that, because the stories that we say to ourselves, even when we're at the top of our game and where we've got such great skills and wisdom -- it's that story that we're not good enough; who's gonna listen to me?” Christine says people stepping into their passion and acknowledging their strengths isn’t ego or arrogance. It’s tapping into who we were, not who the world wants us to be. You can’t be an impostor if you’re being your authentic self. “You'll reach a certain age and reach a certain point in your life, and you'll look back and you go, ‘Oh wow. I did all this for other people but what I could have done is at least tap into those passions that are important to me.’ You could have even been a better role model.” Christine says a common challenge for her clients is visibility. Often, when she looks at their website and socials, she finds the scent of desperation in their content. “No one wants to necessarily go onto a sinking ship,” she says. “That is a real game changer for people because it flips the script. … It's, ‘hey, I'm here. This is why I'm so confident in what I can do.’” Christine says it’s important to look at the socio-cultural landscape. People are moving away from the Kardashians and Dynasty-type perfection.

283. How to Find Your Signature Talk With Speaking Coach Jen Oliver

283. How to Find Your Signature Talk With Speaking Coach Jen Oliver
Are you someone who wants to give a TED Talk? The entire idea of that platform is ideas worth spreading. Maybe you want to be better on stage or understand what makes a speaker so compelling. There's something that makes people connect to us when we're on a screen or on a stage. Sometimes, it works, and sometimes, it doesn't. How does the person's authentic, awesome, gooey-goodness self get up and deliver something that hits us in a way that is so compelling we can't look away? Jen Oliver has devoted her life to becoming a speaking coach. As an executive producer, she's deeply connected to the entire TEDxCommunity. Jen coaches women to speak with impact and is highly effective at helping her clients show up REAL while leveraging their story, mission, and embodiment to exert a powerful influence. To understand how Jen pulls people onto the stage to share her story, she begins with her own. She recalls her second marriage—she rushed into it. She thought she'd restored the legacy for her children after her first marriage ended and herself as an upstanding woman. She was with a wonderful man but didn't belong in the marriage. She wrestled with the truth of it. It was making her feel sick and ill at ease in her body. She remembered what a relationship mediator told her, "It is so profoundly unkind to not tell the truth. You're torturing another person because you're they're dealing in the absence of communication. They are dealing with a fiction That's so far worse than the reality. Give them the dignity of the truth. Speak your truth." Jen had to admit she didn’t belong in the marriage. "It's those little moments where we look at what is the dis ease? Where am I not showing up true? Where am I not saying what is honest? Like, where's that voice?" says Jen. Jen says she's unconventional in her work as a speaking coach because she focuses on authenticity and sharing that truth as a means of connection beyond the typical tips of how to be persuasive, make eye contact, etc. Helping people tell their truth puts energy behind their words, ideas, or coaching. Whether you're on stage in front of 4,000 people or in the boardroom, you have energy watching you, and if you don't meet that energy, it will bowl you over. “Here's what happens and is the mistake: We don't partner with and see that energy there in service to us,” says Jen. “We instead take it as an indictment and an indicator that we're somehow inadequate for that task.” Those feelings of fight or flight are normal because this is a higher-stakes situation than your average moment in the day. "Let's teach you to drop into your body, which is what I do with women is drop into your body, connect with that. Let's partner with it," says Jen. "I'm real, showing up like a real human as opposed to this perfectly polished, managed little automaton." Jen says we need to pay attention to what we've grown numb to. Before her business took off, Jen needed to own the parts of herself she was ignoring so that she could help others. When you do that personal work, it really is the precursor to other things. You can, in fact, shake the nervousness off – it resets your nervous system. You can hold your truth and have your nervous system contain it. “It doesn't mean that when the contraction happens in that same week, because it's this ebb and flow, that something's wrong, or you're not making the progress. You are,” says Jen. When Jen works with others to find their signature talk, she asks them to slow down. "I believe that the body if you can slow down long enough and regulate and listen to it, is the voice of spirit and soul. It holds memories, it holds emotions, it holds so much wisdom and data points," says Jen. She asks her clients to tap into their bodies instead of their minds—the mind can be a bully. If you want to give a TEDx Talk, start by connecting yourself to your deepest, truest wisdom. "Some of those people, their talk shifts a little bit, and the premise behind their talk, and their main tenets and talking points and the thing they ache to give their audience morphs and changes," says Jen. "It's their truer work."

282. The Impact of Your Small Steps on Success with Kate Maguire

282. The Impact of Your Small Steps on Success with Kate Maguire
Time is limited, but it's also, there's lots of it. So you've got room to make mistakes. Have you ever wondered what people do to get successful? What makes the difference? Today’s guest, Kate McGuire, will share her journey, and she talks about those moments in life that you think are like the success moments. The ones where you think “I’ve made it!” For her, it was her first $100,000 month. What do you do with milestones like that? What are the steps you're supposed to take first? Kate is a dynamic entrepreneur, devoted mother, and a passionate advocate for health and personal growth. Kate's journey is fueled by her desire for independence, which shapes her strategic approach to business and life. In her 20s, Kate was struggling to learn what she was going to do with her life. It caused her anxiety and stress; she went to her doctor. She wasn’t interested in taking prescriptions, and ended up seeing a naturopath. It was life changing. “I was exposed to the importance of my health. And the choices I had to make to actually get your head straight, get your head right, right? And I didn't need pharmaceuticals. And I was really struck with how easy it was to go down that path,” says Kate. After having such a positive experience, she wanted the world to know there were other options and that you could be the biggest advocate for your own health. “It is not easy to look after yourself. It does mean researching. It does mean talking to people. It does mean shutting out the circle of family and friends that you have that have their opinions about the way you should be managed,” says Kate. Her passion for health and seeing her father's role model entrepreneurship pushed her into the industry. “It does require you having some guts and having some faith in yourself,” says Kate. “It's okay if you fail, it's okay. Like your life is so long and when you're young, you feel like what's happening in that moment is like so important and so immediate.” If we don't feel safe, it's really hard to show up in your business as your best self, get excited about marketing, and do all the things. Some business owners get to a certain level and then they pull back because they worked so hard to get there. Steady sales. Income levels. They did it. But it means they don’t try anything new. They’re afraid of making mistakes, so they don’t take any more chances. And the biggest lessons can bring the most hurt. It can be hard to overcome because there is always someone to compare yourself to. “Sometimes entrepreneurs are encouraged to get around other entrepreneurs who are doing much bigger and better things than them. And I think you need to tread lightly with that. depending on your personality. Because for me, that was actually a little bit detrimental,” says Kate. Some people can go all in as a CEO, but others might need to divide their time and avoid burnout. Putting in the internal work so that you can arrive at your business already fully yourself is important. Make what you’re creating through the business an extension of creativity and joy – and that will bring money. When Kate started working in the health industry, she was a sales rep for Omega-3 fish oil. She worked on commission. Her method was handshake by handshake, brick by brick, and door by door. She encountered so many nos before she’d get a yes. But then she started to get momentum. For her, it was hard work and belief in herself that paid off. There was no magic answer for her success. “You can end up in the job that you hate and it's safe, or you can take a chance on yourself and, you know, make mistakes and get in a bit of trouble,” says Kate. “But the exhilaration and the enjoyment and the things you'll learn and the people you talk to, I really do believe it's worth it.” Free gift: Benecin immune supplement: (Use 20% off code GOG20) Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: Feel Like You’re Pushing Water Uphill?

281. How to Make BIG Changes and Invest in Yourself When You’re Scared with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini
05/20/2025
281. How to Make BIG Changes and Invest in Yourself When You’re Scared with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini
What causes people to change? We have a really tough time actually shifting who we are, and how we’re walking through the world. The answer is one that I touched on, in the very first podcast episode of the Game on Girlfriend podcast when I said, “don't live a life of almosts.” Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini was born in South Korea and abandoned at birth by her family. She spent her early years in an orphanage, enduring hardships that she likened to living in a modern-day concentration camp. Today, Sun Yong is a highly successful seven-figure entrepreneur and the CEO of Lush Enterprises, LLC. In 2015, she retired from a $35,000 a year job with no savings and limited resources. Determined to change her circumstances, she dedicated herself to options trading. By the end of her first year, she had earned $178,000, six times her previous annual revenue. She believes that true freedom comes from living authentically, pursuing dreams without fear, and achieving financial security. Sun Yong says being orphaned gave her a sense of abandonment – no one invested in her. She was adopted by an American family and eventually got her dream job as a certified medical assistant. But she was missing something. She wondered how she got there. “So that's when I started investing myself by saying, I'm going to retire, even though it was my dream job,” says Sun Yong. She decided she would retire within a year. She had $10 in her account and was living paycheck to paycheck. “Of course I was scared, but I thought for me to invest in myself, I have to get those things out of my mind,” she said. “I have to start taking actions. So that's the beginning of investing in ourselves. And it is very, very critical. The reason is because if we don't invest in ourselves, who's going to invest in you?” Sun Yong says she started to learn to serve herself, as she had with her patients. She started talking about her own story – even the ugly parts that she didn’t want to share with others. She says we tend to focus on negative things, what we’ve heard and what we’ve faced. We might think we’re not worthy – the excuses and reasons are easy to find. Sun Yong said the decision to change was made easier watching the lives of her patients. She says some of them were struggling as they got older, and in some cases by the time they were ready to retire they were too sick to enjoy it. It prompted Sun Yong to retire while she was still healthy and could enjoy life. Sun Yong says once you have healed, you can help others from your present self without focusing on the past. “I’m no longer an orphan, but a lot of times we hang on to this thing like ‘Oh, I’m an orphan,’” she says. “We have to let go of the things that we used to be.” She says it takes many pieces to become who we are – from investing with money, investing within ourselves mentally, investing in ourselves with who we spend our time with. You have to implement every part on a daily basis to have a balanced life from your physical and mental health, to your financial stability and your relationships. To start living the life you want, you need to take action. This is likely going to be something you’ve never done before. But the fear will be there. Sun Yong says to think of it like loading a new album into your brain, so a new record starts to play. I want to do this! Oh no, I can’t. I don’t have the time. You have never done that before. The record’s on repeat. So you need to do something different from how you talk to yourself, the way you talk to others, and the way you act when nobody is watching. What can you do differently today than what you did yesterday? Those actions will be different results. “Think about how special you are, and there's only one you. You're one of a kind in the world, right? And you have to give the best treatment that you could give to yourself.” Free gift: Read one free chapter of Sun Yong's book, Invest in Yourself: Connect with Sun Yong: Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: Power of Pause: Why Your Brain Cannot Solve the Problem: Overcome Societal Expectations of ‘You’re Not Enough’: You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too!

280. You’re Not Falling Behind in Life, Here’s The Proof with Kim Rogne
05/13/2025
280. You’re Not Falling Behind in Life, Here’s The Proof with Kim Rogne
You cannot do big things if you don’t slow down. We're tackling that ever pesky, always present feeling of overwhelm. We live in such a hustle society where the to-do list keeps growing, everything keeps happening, and you can’t shake that hamster wheel feeling. Kim Rogne is a high performance coach, and she specializes in supporting working moms. The way that Kim approaches this work is she really talks about the phase of life that you're in, understanding what that phase brings to your life, what you can and cannot do in that phase, but also remembering that that phase ends. Kim started For the Love of, a personal and professional development company where she’s a high-performance coach and keynote speaker. She took up coaching after a traumatic skiing accident forced her to slow and really reflect on what she wanted the second half of her best life to be. Prior to coaching, she’d managed multiple real estate brokerages, but she was burnt out. She’d given herself two months’ notice to figure out her next move, when a friend told her she’d pay Kim to coach her. She knew then she’d start her own business. “As much as I coach and I teach and I’ve written about mindset, I don’t always have my own mindset in check, and hearing it from somebody else helped me cross that bridge,” says Kim. Kim believes overwhelm is based on choices. It’s based on having high standards and comparing ourselves to others. She works with working moms and part of that means acknowledging the phases these working women are going through. A 30-year-old with young children can’t compare to Kim talking about waking up at 5:15 a.m. to journal and sip her coffee. It’s just not realistic. It’s not that you’re falling behind, you’re comparing yourself to others who aren’t at the same stage in life as you are. “I think it's really just taking a step back and asking the question, ‘what can I do right now based on the phase of my life that I am in without comparison,’ ” says Kim. It’s also owning your choices – deciding what you are going to choose. It’s also allowing yourself some rest and recognizing when to have that downtime. There is no right or wrong way to rest, it’s about figuring out what works for you … and doing it. Kim says one of two of her clients both took a month off. They learned that their business could survive without them and what it meant to be recharged. What you can do right now matters and it’s sufficient. “[Allow] yourself to be okay and trust yourself when you're like, ‘this is enough. I don't need to do more,’” says Kim. When Kim started her business, she committed to a few things: her word of the year was “confident” – she would embody confidence internally and externally; she hired a social media director, and she was going to do daily mindset journaling. January 3, 2023, was her first entry – she had three borrowed prompts: I will let go of, I’m grateful for and I will focus. She started sharing her entries with a friend. It was their way of holding each other accountable. Somehow, this expanded to her clients sending snapshots of their entries. The journaling was working. Kim worked with her sister, a publisher, to rethink the journal. They chose new prompts. For the Love of was built from three parts: planning your week for success, mindset prompts and an end of week reflection. As women, we tend not to brag about our accomplishments; sometimes we forget them. We push through and keep going. Take a moment to recognize what you’ve done.

279. Can Goodness and Wealth Go Hand-In-Hand? with Myra Salzer

279. Can Goodness and Wealth Go Hand-In-Hand? with Myra Salzer
When someone inherits money, you have to mourn the loss of your life as you have known it up until that time before you can move on. Most people don't think about that. They think, “Oh, $18 million, woohoo!” But it's a big change. If the idea of making a lot of money scares you, because you think it will make you a jerk, today’s episode will give you insight into the mindset of heirs to incredible wealth. We are leaving so much about our relationship with wealth and money unexamined. Let’s blow the relationship with wealth wide open: People with and without money are almost identical – not in their day-to-day, but how they view themselves. Our guest, Myra Salzer is an advocate for people who have received a significant inheritance. Since she founded The Wealth Conservancy, she has worked with inheritors who have collectively inherited billions. The firm's services combine life and wealth coaching and financial planning. If you are thinking this doesn't apply to you, it does, especially if you are trying to grow your business and earn more money. Myra says it’s important to recognize the people she works with don’t have an advocate, and they’ve been born into a situation they have no control over. “There's no manual on how to manage $50 million … and yet they're expected to be happy,” says Myra. Business owners, too, can get insecure about money. There’s this idea that if you have money, you must somehow be bad. Myra says she sees this with her clients as well. Their net worth and self-worth are misaligned, and they are afraid of judgments. This might mean hiding their wealth, because they want to fit in This is true on the other side of the financial spectrum as well. Whether you’re born into wealth or poverty, there’s a pattern of thought that says you’re just supposed to know what to do with money, and we’re not supposed to talk about it. Myra notes that being an heir isn’t like winning the lottery. Usually, it’s a gradual event. Myra recalls one of her first clients as a financial planner: A young couple booked an appointment – he came in downcast that he didn’t have any income; she was playing with a large engagement ring. Myra learned he’d lived off trust income for his whole life, but it terminated when he hit 35. He didn’t know what to do with the $18 million in the bank. Her ring was $60,000, and she was wearing it with the stone towards her palm – embarrassed at the thought of showing her father who couldn’t make a mortgage payment. This appointment laid the foundation for Myra’s specialty. “The amount of money doesn't matter. It's the impact it has on your life,” says Myra. “So it could be $100 to a homeless person. Or $1,000 to a recent high school graduate. If it impacts their standard of living, it's a lot.” Myra breaks down the five stages of inheritance progression as: innocent stage, denial, ignorant acceptance, learning, growing and integrated authority. Ignorant acceptance is where Myra steps in to help. People have accepted their financial circumstances, but they have no training. Reaching the final stage of integrated authority is empowering. Heirs start thinking outside the box. They start thinking in a way that maybe deviates from what their family thought patterns are. Oftentimes, inheritors are only second or third generation from the wealth creator. The wealth creator's mindset is completely different they are future-focused and abundance-oriented. Whereas an inheritor is legacy-based and scarcity-oriented with a fear of loss, says Myra. But an inheritor might face hostile envy from people who feel like they didn’t benefit from the same luck. Heirs need to have that sense of perspective, so that their investment managers are aligned with the inheritor's values and objectives. Money isn’t who we are, but it can magnify us. Myra says if inheritors tend be a philanthropist or entrepreneur, they can be great ones. Money just helps boost their personalities and skills; it enables them to amplify what’s already there.

278. Your Dream Body IS Possible with Laura Conley

278. Your Dream Body IS Possible with Laura Conley
If hunger isn't the problem, food isn't the solution. If you're hating your body, starving it, or overfeeding it, chances are you're hindering your impact on this planet. Because when we don't feel good, we don't want to show up. Your health is your number one business asset. How you view your body, walk around inside your body, and use your body daily furthers your mission. Today's guest, Laura Conley, is the founder of the Yummy Mummy Method, which has successfully helped hundreds of women lose weight for the last time. Her clients have lovingly labeled her the fun weight loss coach. This is one of those episodes that will make you feel good about your life and probably help you on your journey to becoming the most successful entrepreneur you can be. Laura was stuck in corporate as a drug rep. She admits it was a cushy job: she had the company car, a fun lifestyle, and made a lot of money, but it wasn't fulfilling. "There might not be such a thing as your passion just dropping in your lap," says Laura. "But when I started to feel the lack of fulfillment, I started to follow just my curiosity." That curiosity led her to teach yoga. She and her husband developed an exit strategy, and a week later, her corporate boss sat her down. The company was going to be laying off 50% of its workforce. She would be spared, but she didn't want to be. She took a voluntary severance package. Laura eventually became a life coach and niched down to become a weight-loss coach, body-love coach, and food freedom coach because she didn't want to pass down her diet drama to her daughter. "When I was six weeks postpartum, and I got out of the shower," says Laura. "She's like cooing up at me, smiling, being so cute, and fat, and chubby and perfect. And I'm beating myself up for not bouncing back into my pre-baby jeans 'fast enough,'" She started applying the coaching tools and psychology principles she was using to help her clients change their lives to weight loss. Hormones were a significant piece of the puzzle. Laura always thought she needed to be on a calorie deficit to lose weight – she didn't like it, and it was unsustainable. Your hunger hormones are insulin, leptin, and ghrelin. About 94% of Americans have an imbalance in hunger hormones. Once you balance those hormones, your cravings go away. It's like a natural Ozempic. "Nobody is teaching us this because the big pharma can't make money off of teaching us how to heal our hunger hormones," says Laura. The other piece was to stop using food for what it's not for. Laura says she was using food for boredom relief, stress relief, pleasure, and comfort. She points to grabbing a handful of nuts when she is bored or some dark chocolate at 9 p.m. It was the little things. A lot of people think that if they want to lose weight or change their relationship with themselves, their body, or their food, they're bad or wrong for wanting that. You can approach that change from abundance. The question becomes how to give yourself a true pleasure versus a false pleasure. Laura likens it to a check engine light. Ask yourself, what is going on? Do you need to be replenished? For many people, food is a false pleasure because it's a net negative that leaves us hung over. The journey to loving your body really does start with two thoughts that feel neutral or in the ballpark of acceptance. What are one or two thoughts about your body that don't make you feel hate or shame? Our bodies are desperate for our love, and we can give it to them.
