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

Like you've traded your 9-to-5 for 24/7, your income swings from $2,000 to $8,000 to $3,000, and you're hustling harder but getting nowhere?

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.

They unpack what it takes to exit the fine vortex, rewire subconscious beliefs formed before you were 7 years old, and stop making decisions from fear. LaChelle shares her Flow State Money Method: a simple 3-step process that makes running your business feel simpler, not harder.

Because here's the truth: confidence comes from action, not the other way around.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why "fine" became LaChelle's least favorite four-letter F-word (and why it's keeping you from extraordinary)

• How to identify your "puppet strings" using a notes-on-your-phone method anyone can do

• The Flow State Money Method: 3 steps to recognize toxic thoughts, trust your guidance, and take aligned action

• Why no sales script will ever work if you haven't dealt with brain-heart coherence first

• How a grocery store moment at age 5 creates business blocks at age 35 (and what to do about it)

• Your superpower of choice—and how to use it to rise above circumstances instead of staying stuck

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 your LLC address matters more than you think, and the exact moment you should start looking for funding. Plus, she gets real about the burning desire you need to make the leap from side hustle to main hustle—and why entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. This conversation is part of Sarah's mission to put more money in the hands of more women.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• The 5 foundational mistakes that disqualify businesses from funding—including why certain business names are considered "high risk" and how your NAICS code can knock you out of the game

• When to actually start looking for venture capital funding (and the capital gap test to know if you're ready)

• Why using your home address on your LLC is a red flag to investors—and what funders are really looking for when they Google your business

• The 3-4x rule for knowing when your side hustle is ready to become your main hustle

• Why funding challenges have nothing to do with your product or service—it's all about foundation and structure

• How women disqualify themselves before they even ask for funding (and how proper structure gives you the confidence to apply)

• The burning desire you need beyond just a good idea to survive entrepreneurship

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 coaching high-achieving women.

In this conversation, we talk about recognizing when there's more for you, what work-life balance actually looks like (spoiler: it's not perfect), and why the girlfriends who call you out might be your most valuable asset.

Wendy is the author of "Sparkle and Grit" and helps women who've checked all the boxes but still feel stuck break free from burnout and live on purpose.

What You'll Learn

• Why burnout is more than just exhaustion—it's disconnection

• How real coaching (the kind without fluff) can change a legal practice… and a life

• What to listen to daily to reconnect with what matters today

• Why collaborative solutions can still be powerful ones

• The power of friendships that hold space instead of judgment

You're posting consistently. Writing newsletters that take hours. You've got the degrees, certifications, and experience. But when someone searches for what you do? You're nowhere.

If you've ever thought, "I've tried everything and nothing works," this conversation is for you.

Sarah sits down with Carrolee Moore, founder of the Podcast Pitching Society, to unpack what it actually means to be visible—especially as a woman entrepreneur in a digital world full of noise. From the Currency of Visibility framework to using AI without losing your voice, Carrolee shares why authentic visibility starts with becoming visible to yourself first.

Together, they explore the difference between being an influencer and running a sustainable business, why "I've tried everything" usually means you haven't, and the power of owning your voice even when it makes people uncomfortable.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

• The biggest visibility mistake experts make (and why corporate training keeps you invisible)

• Why becoming visible to yourself comes before marketing to the world

• How to use AI as your assistant—not your brain

• Breaking the performance bonds that keep you playing small

• Why your visibility must make money, not just noise

• The "to what end" question that should guide every visibility decision

• How to stop being nice and start being real in your marketing

• Why the only critics who matter are ahead of you on the path

What happens when your whole world burns down—literally—and it turns out to be the start of your real life?

In this deeply personal episode, Sarah sits down with Melanie Rhora, founder of The Phoenix Path, to explore how burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can mask as success—until something forces you to pause.

Melanie shares how a devastating house fire cleared the way for profound transformation, how she rebuilt her life by honoring her truth, and how she now helps high-capacity women recognize burnout signs and set real boundaries without guilt.

Because when life burns down, it's not punishment. It's permission.

You'll Hear:

• What silent burnout looks like (hint: it's not hustle—it's disconnection)

• Why setting boundaries isn't mean—it's medicine

• How to release old roles and rewrite your internal definition of "worthy"

• The one question that changes everything: "I love myself enough to stay safe and open at the same time"

• Why rest isn't optional (and what happens when you finally allow it)

Turning the calendar doesn't reset your nervous system. All the vision boards in the world won't rearrange your limiting beliefs about money. So what about the money?

In this final episode of 2025, I'm getting vulnerable about the money fears that keep women entrepreneurs stuck financially—including my own. You'll hear exactly what happened when I confronted my hidden fear: "If I become truly wealthy, will people think I'm a bad person?"

The truth? You can only earn at the speed of safety. When your nervous system feels unsafe, you physically cannot show up at the level required to grow your business.

This isn't about resolutions. This is about transformation. And it starts here.

What You'll Learn

• - Why your nervous system determines your income

• - The Money Fear Framework (3 steps to address blocks)

• - How to calm your nervous system in minutes

• - Real client story: dissolving fear around $10K/month goal

• - The tool I used to manifest my life partner—now applied to wealth

• - What to do when new income levels trigger your nervous system

• - Why your gifts were meant to support you financially

FREE NEW YEAR'S DAY WORKSHOP:

Join me for "But What About the Money?"- a live workshop where we'll:

• Look at what needs to shift for you to make more money in 2026

• Identify what you're actually afraid of around expansion

• Learn practical nervous system regulation tools

• Get coached directly on your specific money blocks

What if money isn't as "real" as we think it is?

This week, Sarah talks to spiritual coach, tour leader, and money mindset mentor Halle Eavelyn about the deep, often hidden beliefs that shape women's relationships with wealth. From a life-changing awakening in Egypt to writing The Passive Income Power Plan, Halle shares how she helps women remember their power—and step fully into it.

Here's something wild: women couldn't open their own bank accounts until 1974. Today, we still receive only 3% of venture capital funding. These aren't just statistics—they're symptoms of deep programming affecting how we approach money right now.

Halle had a profound moment in the dining room of a Nile cruise ship during a guided meditation. She received a download that hit every cell of her body: "You have a soul and you will never die." That spiritual awakening sparked a 30-year exploration into consciousness, intuition, and how women can reclaim their birthright to wealth.

If you've been wondering why you haven't been making more money, or if you've been feeling stuck around the idea that you deserve wealth - this conversation is for you.

This is episode 312 of the Game On Girlfriend podcast. I'm Sarah Walton, and I help women entrepreneurs build businesses they love through authentic sales strategies and money mindset work.

About Sarah Walton

With a background in trauma-informed coaching and nervous system regulation, she takes a holistic approach that addresses both mindset and tactical business skills.

In this quiet but powerful close-to-the-end-of-the-year episode, I'm inviting you into a deeper kind of reflection: not a noisy checklist of goals, but a wholehearted look at what your life and work have really been built on—and what needs to shift.

I'm writing this after attending a funeral, and after finding out my Aunt Wendy passed away. Some of you met her in episode 148. Through these stories of grief and loss, I'm exploring how pause can bring clarity, and how to choose a slower, more intentional path into the new year.

Whether you're a business owner, a creative, or simply someone craving alignment, this episode will guide you back into the truth of your work and the meaning behind it.

This isn't about your social media calendar. It's not about your to-do list. This is about deeply connecting with YOU. There is no one else but you.

What you'll hear about:

• How grief and pause can bring clarity

• The difference between soul setting and goal setting

• Journal prompts to help process the past year with depth and direction

• Aligning your business with your real rhythms (not hustle habits)

• How to return to yourself—and your why—before a new chapter begins

Want support with your own year-end clarity?

Two additional 1:1 year-end planning sessions have been opened for listeners of this episode. If you're ready to look at what truly aligned strategy looks like for you (with nervous-system friendly structure + some soul), book your planning session here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=13047670&appointmentType=2732253

You know that idea pulling at your heart? The one you immediately follow up with "who am I to do this?"

Carrie Rich had one of those ideas while mopping hospital floors as a graduate student. She didn't wait until she had it all figured out. She cracked a joke in an attendance meeting. Made one bold ask. Then another. Then another.

Now? Her work has impacted 11.6 million lives across 70 countries through the Global Good Fund.

But here's what really changed everything for Carrie: a stack of napkins pushed across a desk and one question - "Do you have a financial life plan?"

At 25 years old, her boss walked her through mapping her life in increments. Not just her career. Her entire life. What she wanted to fund. What "enough" actually looked like. How to plan for children she didn't have yet, travel dreams, philanthropy goals, continuing education.

That napkin exercise became the foundation for everything she built.

If you're dealing with economic anxiety, struggling to access funding, or questioning whether your business can make it through uncertain times - this conversation will light something up inside you. Carrie shares why women only receive 2% of venture capital, what actually makes entrepreneurs fundable, and how to define what "enough" looks like for YOU (not what Instagram says you should want).

This is episode 310 of the Game On Girlfriend podcast. I'm Sarah Walton, and I help women entrepreneurs build businesses they love through authentic sales strategies and money mindset work.

Ready to grab your own stack of napkins? Let's do this.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• How to stay courageous when you're scared

• Turning your values into capital & momentum

• Making bold moves without burning out

• A transparent look at financial planning for women entrepreneurs

• Supporting underrepresented founders through mentorship & venture support
