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 783 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART TWO: FLIGHT RESPONSE

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later.
You’ll check your numbers tomorrow.
You’ll follow up next week.
You’ll finally get clear on your money “when things calm down.”

But that moment never seems to come.
And instead… you stay busy doing everything else.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the flight response with money — the pattern that looks like procrastination, distraction, or “being busy,” but is actually your nervous system trying to avoid discomfort.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we uncover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your income, business decisions, and ability to receive more.

Because avoiding money doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.
It usually means, on a deeper level…
it doesn’t feel safe.

Ep 782 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART ONE: FIGHT RESPONSE

You’ve been told your drive is the reason you’ll succeed.
So you push harder.
You do more.
You try to control every outcome.

But what if that “hustle” is actually a nervous system response to fear…
and the very thing keeping money feeling stressful, inconsistent, or just out of reach?

In this episode, we’re breaking down the fight response with money — how it shows up, why it gets rewarded, and how it can quietly block your ability to receive more.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we unpack how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses impact your income, business growth, and financial patterns.

Because making more money isn’t just strategy.
It’s about whether your body feels safe to hold it.

Ep 781 3 Ways You’re Blocking Your Quantum Leap (Why It’s Not Clicking Yet)

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but it’s still not clicking?

Like you’re on the edge of a breakthrough, a quantum leap, or a major level up — but instead of momentum, things feel off, unclear, or harder than they should?

This is one of the most common and misunderstood phases in manifestation, business growth, and identity shifts.

And it’s exactly where most people unknowingly block their next level.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 ways people delay their quantum leap — why you feel stuck before a breakthrough, how resistance and control show up, and why discomfort is often the sign you’re expanding… not failing.

If you’ve been questioning why your manifestation isn’t working, why your business or money isn’t growing the way you expected, or why everything feels like it’s not clicking yet — this will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.
