Wake Up To Your Life – Détails, épisodes et analyse

I’m baaaack! Maybe you didn’t notice I was gone, but I’ve gotten so many kind messages from you guys asking if I’ll ever bring the podcast back, so here we are! In this episode, I’m giving you the lowdown on what the last two years of my life have looked like, why I felt like I needed to put the podcast down for a while, and why I’m picking it back up now. 

 

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• I’m in an exciting (albeit a bit scary) season of rediscovery and reinvention. I needed to take some time to wallow, sit with my feelings, and heal before I could get here. If you’re in a tough season, don’t rush the processing portion, or it’ll catch up with you unexpectedly.

• When we’re in a season of transition, it’s normal to cling to what’s familiar and comfortable. I stayed in my marital home post-divorce, and it ended up feeling lonely. Moving out and into an apartment I could make my own has been incredibly healing.

• Do something that makes you feel alive this week. Maybe it’s a hobby you haven’t done in a while, reconnecting with a friend who brings out the best in you, or booking a trip you’ve been putting off.

 

Wake Up to Your Life is an award-winning podcast hosted by Colleen Odegaard. On this show, you’ll hear from experts (and learn from my own hilarious stories) on how to rediscover yourself in a new season of life, no matter what that looks like for you.

I said I would NEVER do online dating. Then my stupid friends talked me into it. Spoiler alert:  I didn't like it.

 

In this episode I share why I believe it's possilbe for us singles who don't like online dating to find a romantic partner organically out in the wild.  

 

I also provide what I believe is a much needed public service announcement to men on these sites.

Haters gonna hate.  We know this.  But it still hurts.

You doubt your skills.  You think other people in the room are more qualified than you.  You're worried everyone will think you're a fraud.  Imposter Syndrome hits all of us.  I have experienced this as a TV news anchor, as a life coach and in social situations.  Imposter Syndrome can keep us small and prevent us from showing up in our lives.  In this episode I talk about how we can move through it and take action even when our brain is telling us we don't got it!

No one wants to have tough conversations.  But avoiding them comes at a cost.  Issues don't get resolved and resentments can build.  But if a difficult conversation goes well, healing can take place.  Leadership Coach Debb Corbett says getting comfortable, curious, vulnerable and clear can help us get through challenging conversations.

Things aren't happening as quickly as you'd like.  You want your thinner body NOW!  You want your business to be booming NOW!  When you don't see immediate results, it's easy to get discouraged.  But when you live from that place of discouragement, it can be difficult to keep taking action toward your goals.  Listen to this episode to keep your vibe high while waiting.

I have lived with anxiety for as long as I can remember.  Shallow breathing, tightness in the chest, sweaty pits... check.  Over the years I have used food, wine, shopping and Netflix to cope.  Guess what?  All that got me was weight gain, a hangover, debt and deferred dreams.  Maybe you feel anxious when you have a project deadline at work, when you have to have a difficult conversation, or you're worried about finances.  In this episode, I talk with counselor Juliet Kuehnle from Sun Counseling and Wellness about healthy ways to deal with anxiety when it strikes.

Many times we can be our own worst enemy.  We get caught up in fear, comparison, low self-worth, etc.  On this episode I talk with multi-millionaire entrepreneur and business coach Tiffany Carter.  She's the founder of ProjectMe with Tiffany and the host of ProjectMe the podcast.  Tiffany has coached thousands of people on getting over their limiting beliefs so they can go do what they're meant to do.  In this conversation, Tiffany shares some things we can do now to get out of our own way and create a life we love.

I've been hearing from a lot people who tell me they're stuck.  Stuck in a job they can't stand, stuck in a mediocre relationship, stuck in a life that doesn't excite them.  I used to say those words quite often... I'm stuck.  I would also say... I just don't know what to do.  But that's not true.  We aren't really stuck.  More likely, we are scared to take action.  In this episode, I talk about what's really going on when you feel stuck in some area of your life and what you can do to move forward.

Ask anyone who is married and they will tell you it's hard work.  If they say it's not, they're lying.  I talk with marriage therapist Mike Vaughn about some strategies we can use to improve our relationships.  He talks about the importance of maintaining a friendship and how to get through an argument in a way that's honoring to your partner.  Mike also tells us about the positivity/negativity ratio and the number positive interactions you need to have with your spouse to combat one negative encounter.  Here's a hint:  it's not one to one.  And Mike tells us the one thing you should never do when you're having a disagreement with your spouse.     Instagram:  @Colleen_Odegaard www.ColleenOdegaard.com www.SureHopeCounseling.com
