| 19. Imposter Syndrome | 14 Oct 2020 | 00:19:34 | |
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.

| 16. Taking Action Against Anxiety | 23 Sep 2020 | 00:28:12 | |
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.

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.

| 14. Getting Unstuck | 09 Sep 2020 | 00:19:40 | |
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. Instagram: @Colleen_Odegaard Website: ColleenOdegaard.com

| 92. Toxic Positivity | 28 Jul 2022 | 00:13:20 | |
Look on the bright side. It'll all work out. Everything happens for a reason. Things could be worse.
#shutup
Toxic positivity isn't helpful. It's actually harmful. It makes people feel guilty for what they're feeling.
When your friends are hurting, they need empathy. When you're suffering, you need compassion. Not a line of BS from a person who is uncomfortable with difficult emotions.
I'm rooting for you.

| 83. Wake Up Sex | 11 May 2022 | 01:01:36 | |
Is it difficult to have honest and vulnerable conversations with your partner about sex? Sex therapist Dr. Laurie Watson wants to normalize talking about it. In this episode, Dr. Laurie shares ways you can open up to your person about what it is that you want in the bedroom. She also talks about how "getting in the mood" starts with your mind. We discuss sexy thoughts, dirty talk, the clittoris and other things. This is NOT something children should hear. And if you blush easily, ths is your warning. I honestly believe if I had found Dr. Laurie sooner, my marriage woudn't have fallen apart. Her podcast has seven million downloads. She's that good. It's a long episode but you'll want to hear the whole thing.
