    355. How to Heal Your Nervous System When You Feel Like the Problem, with Lori Montry
    Oct 20 2026
    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 somatic practitioner and the author of You're Not the Problem. In our conversation, she shares how to heal your nervous system by changing the relationship underneath your behavior, instead of trying to fix the behavior itself. Right now, a lot of women are lying awake at night, worried about money, the economy, or whether they're doing enough. If that sounds familiar, girlfriend, this episode is for you. Lori isn't going to hand you 89,000 things to change. Instead, she shows you where to start, and you might want to bookmark this one and come back to it a few times. So drop your shoulders, unclench your teeth, pop in your earphones, and let's get to it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How Lori went from Harvard Law School to somatic work, and why she calls it her second lifeThe question Lori asked about her emotional eating and perfectionism that started it allWhy so many of us decide as kids that we're the problem, and why that was actually brilliant at the timeWhat it means to have your expansive self beside you 100% of the time, even when money doesn't feel safeThe three things your system needs: safety, capacity, and energyWhy your nervous system is your compass, not something to controlLori's five-times-a-day check-in, and what to do when you have no idea what your body is telling youWhy Lori's book starts with the basement, not the second-floor balcony LORI'S GIFT TO YOU Lori created a free check-in practice called Your Nervous System Is Talking: Learning to Listen. It walks you through how to pause, rate your system, and notice what it's telling you, so you can start providing what you need to thrive. Lori calls it the starting point.

After graduating from Harvard Law School and building a successful legal career, Lori found herself facing many of the same challenges she now helps others navigate. Her personal journey led her to years of studying nervous system regulation, trauma, behavior change, and self-leadership, work that became the foundation of her book, You're Not the Problem.

    353. How to Create Opportunities by Listening to Your Heart, with Debi Hemmeter
    Oct 6 2026
    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 noise and start leading from the inside out. She has such a beautiful, contagious energy, and she seems to create prosperity, opportunity, and joy everywhere she goes. Debi shares three stories that show how you can create opportunities you want, even when the path isn't obvious yet. Right now, with so much uncertainty and so much competing for your attention, it's easy to let the outside noise decide what you're supposed to want. So listen to this one looking for evidence for yourself. Pop in those earphones, take these lessons to heart, and let's get to it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why Debi uses "the dash between your birth and your death" to decide what to do with her lifeHow a guessed Harvard email address got a reply from Sheryl Sandberg within 30 minutes, and what Debi offered to do when they metHow a vitality week in the Hamptons turned into five years helping fitness trainer Tracy Anderson build her businessHow Debi's daughter got the exact role she wanted at the Four Seasons when there wasn't even an open jobWhy outward success can still feel hollow, and the snooze-alarm signal Debi says to pay attention toWhat Sheryl taught Debi about resilience, and why clarity makes resilience easierPractical ways to start listening to your heart, from editing who's in your life to walking without a podcast onWhy aspirational thoughts won't get you there, and what Debi says to do today instead DEBI'S GIFT TO YOU Debi is offering a free masterclass through the Inner Mountain Foundation all about listening to your heart.

    352. The Achievement Wound: Why Success Never Feels Like Enough
    Sep 29 2026
    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 more successful you become, the worse it gets. If people look at you and wonder how you're doing it all while you quietly wonder whether any of it is enough, this one's for you. We're not talking about doing more. Instead, we're talking about finally seeing yourself, and it's the start of a free 5-day challenge I'm hosting to help you heal this wound. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What the Achievement Wound actually is, and where it startsWhy it's nearly invisible from the outside (it looks like success)The signs: deflecting compliments, anxiety after wins, over-giving without receivingReal client stories of financial and personal transformationWhy healing has to happen in the body, not just the mindHow to join the free 5-day "Heal Your Achievement Wound" Challenge starting October 2nd FREE 5-DAY CHALLENGE: HEAL YOUR ACHIEVEMENT WOUND I'm doing something I've never done before. Starting Friday, October 2, I'm hosting a free 5-day challenge called Heal Your Achievement Wound. Each day, you'll get a short video, just two or three minutes long, plus a simple healing exercise to work on that day. We're also giving away prizes to the people who participate fully and turn in their homework. This one's on me.

    351. How to Give Yourself Permission — with Charlotte Jukes
    Sep 22 2026
    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 I've watched her manage massive rooms on Zoom. The second she starts speaking, she calms and soothes everyone and brings us all back home to what actually matters. Charlotte spent 37 years as a nurse, and now she coaches people, mostly women, using nervous system and somatic work. When I asked Charlotte what she thinks is the most meaningful shift someone can make, she gave me two words: permission and compassion. We talk about what it looks like to give yourself permission, why so many of us hand out compassion to everyone but ourselves, and how she got to both in her own life. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The simple Band-Aid practice Charlotte uses to show what "somatic" means, and why she says the body holds the wisdomWhy Charlotte says she feels her calling in her gut, and what she does when she doesn't know the how or the whyWhat happened when she heard "do the safe thing" as a teenager, and how she balances her grounded side with her curious, adventurous oneWhy she tested nervous system work on herself before she taught it, and how staying calm changes the energy of a room, even in a crisisThe story of what turned out to be her last day as a nurse, and how it taught her she could give herself compassionHow pickleball became one of her best teachers in play, laughing at yourself, and noticing what triggers you CHARLOTTE'S GIFT TO YOU As her gift to Girlfriends, Charlotte is offering a Complimentary Clarity Call.

Clients learn to identify and transform the unconscious patterns, beliefs, and nervous system responses that can quietly shape their lives. Her work sits at the intersection of personal growth, emotional healing, relationships, and self-discovery. Through coaching, meditation, and deep inner work, Charlotte guides people to move beyond fear, self-doubt, and old conditioning. The goal is a life filled with greater connection, purpose, abundance, and authenticity. Known for her warmth, insight, and ability to make complex concepts relatable, Charlotte inspires audiences to embrace transformation, trust themselves more deeply, and become the person they were always meant to be.

    350. Why You're Afraid to Sell — with Nikki Rausch
    Sep 15 2026
    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 entrepreneurs on exactly what she'd learned along the way. Now, with more than 25 years of sales experience and a background as a Master Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, she teaches service-based entrepreneurs how to have sales conversations that lead to yeses, without feeling pushy or fake. Nikki and I get into why so many of us freeze up, get weird, or avoid the conversation altogether the moment sales comes up, and what actually shifts once you stop treating selling as something you do to a person and start treating it as something you do with them. I loved hearing her real client examples throughout this one, including a story about a client who pictured her ideal buyer as a polished, highly paid professional, while the people actually showing up to hire her were moms in hoodies with their hair in a bun — herself included. If you've ever felt weird about naming your price, or wondered why some sales conversations feel so much harder than others, this episode is for you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: The one condition that has to be in place before you ever try to sell to someone, and why most people skip it entirelyThe two habits Nikki sees that quietly sabotage sales conversations, including one she calls "hallucinating" what the other person is thinkingHow a simple "softening phrase" makes it so much easier to ask the budget question everyone's afraid to askWhat a "rapport bank account" is, and why every early interaction is either a deposit or a withdrawalNikki's "cat calling versus dog calling" framework for creating curiosity without coming on too strongWhy your first 10 seconds, and the next two minutes, decide whether someone trusts you, and what that means for how you show up NIKKI'S GIFT TO YOU As her gift to Girlfriends, Nikki is sharing her Sales Follow-Up Made Easy Guide — proven follow-up strategies, ready-to-use scripts, and techniques to build trust and stay top-of-mind with your leads, so you're never stuck wondering what to say or when to send it.

With more than 25 years of sales experience and over a decade as a business owner, she teaches service-based entrepreneurs how to have confident sales conversations that lead to yeses, without feeling pushy or fake. As a Master Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Nikki focuses on the language and communication behind selling. Her approach is rooted in building rapport, recognizing buying signals, and guiding conversations in a way that feels natural for both you and the client. She is the author of three books, including The Selling Staircase, and host of the Sales Maven Podcast, ranked in the top 1% globally. Through her coaching, programs, and speaking, Nikki supports women entrepreneurs in turning sales into a skill they can rely on, so they can grow their business with clarity and confidence.

  • 349. Why Strength Training in Midlife Isn't Optional — with Mary Ellen Loranger

    349. Why Strength Training in Midlife Isn't Optional — with Mary Ellen Loranger
    Sep 8 2026
    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 mindset platform for women navigating midlife and menopause. I work with a lot of health coaches one-on-one, and right now they're going through a massive shift inside their industry because of GLP-1 medications — the wave of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. I think it's an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs, you included, to understand how to pivot when the market changes on you. That's exactly what's happening with Mary Ellen — she's had no choice but to pivot her own business right along with it. In this episode, we get into what that shift means for muscle, for metabolic health, and for anyone whose industry is changing under them. This one isn't just for people who care about fitness. It's for any woman in midlife who's been told to shrink back, slow down, or settle, and for any entrepreneur trying to figure out what to do when the ground shifts under their business.

    348. The Mother Line: The Real Block to Receiving — with Sabine O'Laughlin
    Sep 1 2026
    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 stay closed off to receiving — not just love, but money, health, and everything else too. This conversation is one I needed to hear myself, as someone who works in wealth consciousness all day and doesn't have a relationship with my own mother. This episode gets into where that shows up in your body, what giving too much can actually cost you, and what changes once you do this work. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: The three principles that hold family systems together — belonging, order, and the balance of give and receive — and what happens when any of them is out of balanceWhy being "a little bit dead" isn't dramatic — it's any place you learned to hold back to keep your caretakers happy, and how it shows up in your posture, your jaw, and your voiceWhy the giver, not the taker, is usually the one who kills a relationship, and how over-giving can be a form of control dressed up as generosityWhat it might mean if you've always felt like the black sheep of your family, and why that role usually isn't randomWhy Sabine says money is an energy, not a thing, and why nothing you buy will work until you can take in the source of your own wealthWhat changed for Sabine the day her mother died, and how it turned into four decades of studying death for a living TAKE SABINE'S FREE ENERGY LEAK AUDIT Curious where your own energy might be leaking?

As the creator of the Health Matrix, she helps women uncover the hidden patterns draining their energy and limiting their potential. After spending decades studying death and disease, Sabine discovered what helps people truly live. Her own life changed when she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 62. Today, Sabine combines medical expertise, family systems work, and a deep understanding of neurodivergence to guide high-achieving women from burnout and self-doubt to greater clarity, vitality, and fulfillment.
