    298. How to Become Your Own Bank: Infinite Banking for Women Entrepreneurs with Erica Neal
    Sep 16 2025
    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

    296. Money, Motherhood & Multifamily: Creating True Freedom With Mandy McAllister
    Sep 2 2025
    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
    Aug 26 2025
    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.
