Managing your Deep Fears, Insecurities, and Crazy Brain, with Guest, Colleen Odegaard, TV Personality, Podcast Host, and Life Coach EP342

“Where do I even start?”

14 years ago, I said this same exact thing to a longtime client of mine in the pharmaceutical industry, right after he suggested I stop making millions for the company I was working for, and start making that money for my self.

His reply…”by taking one action at a time.”

I didn’t even know which actions to take first, given I’d never started a business before…. so I began by making a list of what I would need in order to get clients to pay me for my skill set.

We often overcomplicate EVERYTHING when we are uncomfortable and scared. This paralyzes many people to the point where they keep putting off starting their dream business, and sit in Stuckland USA… sometimes forever. You may be in that spot right now, and hating it. 

The fear of building something of your own is so unfamiliar; it is actually more comfortable for you to stay feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied with your life. 

Until you’ve had enough and are really sick of your current circumstances and financial status, you likely wont be motived enough to take the necessary scary actions. 

If you aren’t lit up by your life, it is time to wake up and show up for yourself and the life you deserve to be living. 

How does a baby learn to walk? They start out by crawling, then standing all wobbly and falling, then two steps, and more falling…they keep doing it all day long day after day until they’re off running like little ninja tyrants.

The difference is babies don’t have a lifetime of limiting beliefs, traumatic experiences, or fully developed egos to hold them back. 

Imagine if you put all of your own head crap aside for a moment, and knew for certain you would not let yourself fail no matter what…. What would you go after in your life right now?

This is how ProjectME was born, and was able to get it to a million dollars in annual revenue in four years. I was willing to start all wobbly and fall many times until I got it. 

My guest today Colleen Odegaard, TV Personality and Award Winning Podcast Host, took the same risk. We talk about what it looks and feels like to show up messy, awkward, and step into the unknown, in order to honor the dreams we had on our hearts.

Ep 818 The “Everything Is Going to Shit” Crash Out: How I Handle It in Real Time

What do you do when everything seems to go wrong at once, and you have absolutely no idea how it’s all going to work out?

I was supposed to release a completely different episode today. It was already recorded. Everything was planned. Then I woke up to some major fucking bullshit…followed almost immediately by more bullshit.

So I scrapped the plan and hit record while I was still in it.

This isn’t an episode about resilience from the other side, when everything has worked out and you can package the experience into a beautiful lesson. I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I handle stress, uncertainty, business setbacks and unexpected life problems in REAL TIME, before I know the outcome.

Because when multiple things go wrong at once, your brain loves to take individual problems and turn them into one giant story:
Everything is falling apart.

Ep 817 The “Everything is Going to Sh!t” Phase before Your BIGGEST Quantum Leap w/ Shamina Taylor, Attorney Turned Wealth Expert

What if the moment when everything in your life seems to be falling apart at once isn’t proof that you’re going backward, but part of what happens before your biggest expansion?

Wealth expert and creator of The Quantum Woman™ framework Shamina Taylor joins Tiffany for a deeply honest conversation about what a quantum leap actually looks like in real life, including the part nobody wants to talk about: the breakdown before the breakthrough.

Shamina takes us inside her own quantum crash-out, when the successful life she had built began crumbling and forced her to confront what achievement, logic and pushing harder could no longer fix. What came next required emotional healing, identity work, learning to trust the unseen, and completely changing her relationship with money, success and herself.

Ep 816 Why Do You Procrastinate When You KNOW What to Do?

You know you need to post the content, talk about your offer, hire the help, make the investment, have the conversation, or finally start the thing you’ve been thinking about for months.

You’ve researched it. Planned it. Journaled about it. Asked ChatGPT 47 different ways. And you’re still not taking action.

This isn’t a motivation or discipline problem. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re lazy.

Procrastination and self-sabotage can be automatic stress responses designed to protect you from what taking action might expose you to: failure, rejection, judgment, uncertainty, visibility, and even success.
