Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!

What would happen if women started talking about how wonderful you are and what you do? 

Let’s partner to give ‘em something to talk about! 

We are Mary Foley and Susie Galvez, Chief Talking Officers and co-hosts of the “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!" radio show on WLEE 990 AM in Richmond.  Each Sunday at 3 pm we interview guests and talk about all kinds of topics that affect women 35 - 60 years old --  health, beauty, relationships, business success, career advice, self-esteem and more.

Our light, fun, interactive format is designed to “increase the sanity, confidence and fun in every woman’s life” and women tell us they love it!

“Just keep doing what you are doing; Richmond women need you (and men do, too!).”

“You motivate me to be the best that I can possibly be and when I need a lift, I just replay a podcast and get right back on track.”

“I love the camaraderie, the advice, the sharing, and the uplifting fellowship between women!”

But, our reach goes beyond each Sunday at 3 pm and beyond radio.  In addition to our broadcast on the WLEE 990 AM airwaves each Sunday, listeners can also tune-in live via internet streaming or listen to show replays anytime on www.GirlfriendWeGottaTalk.com.  Plus, we’re on iTunes, Facebook and have videos on YouTube!

Show sponsorships are a wonderful, affordable way to connect your business with our audience. Plus, RMA members get an additional $25 credit towards any sponsorship!
