Exactly what I need to hear - always
Colleenโs WUTYL podcast is always exactly what I need to hear. Inspiring when Iโm uninspired. Uplifting when Iโm down. Relatable when I feel alone. Colleen is open, honest, authentic and relatable. Give yourself this treat each week.

Honesty!
I love and appreciate Colleenโs openness and honesty. Sheโs so authentic and relateable in the largely superficial world we live in today. Thank you, Colleen for sharing your thoughts and feelings - you are an inspiration to all.

Inspirational podcast
I love this podcast. She is so real and I have identified myself with each of her episodes. If you are looking for a podcast that will help you find your worth and motivate you to become a better person, then you have found it! Update: Iโve worked with Colleen for over a year now, she is my life coach. This is one of the best investments Iโve ever done on my personal growth! My attitude and my relationship with myself and others have improved so much with her help! Love this woman and all she does for the people around her!

The Real Deal
Colleen brings her expertise and raw life experiences to this informative, witty, and even vulnerable podcast. I look forward to the new episodes and always take away a piece of it that I can utilize in my daily growth as well as my professional life. I love how she can reach across the airways to intricately describe an intangible feeling or emotion by using every day items with brilliant metaphors and symbolism. She is the real deal and is always rooting for everyone with her positive, loving vibes.

Itโs so cool to hear people who have been in broadcast TV or radio finally have the chance to be themselves. This is Colleen. And she now can be herself. And I think you are really going to enjoy her open and honest conversations.

Love this show!
Colleen is the ๐ฃ !! As a young, mid-20 something, all of my friends talk about these podcasts that I should go listen to, but I really just canโt get into them. They may have a guest that Iโm interested in hearing them interview, but thatโs about it. Wake Up to Your Life is the exact opposite! Colleen is just so real and down to earth, and gives such good, common sense advice. Itโs like a personalized pep talk in a lot of ways when I listen to her, whether Iโm having a hard time getting the day started or I need an afternoon pick me up. Prepare to laugh, cry, have deep reflective moments, and everything in between as you listen to her story telling. 10 out of 10 would recommend giving this show a listen!

Perfect Podcast
Like many, I have followed Colleen from her days at WCNC news to the Charlotte Today Show and I even remember her friendly smile walking in and out of the Charlotte preschool her boys (and mine) attended many years ago. She has warmth, energy, intelligence, and compassion in abundance! I thoroughly love and look forward to new episodes of her fantastic podcast. Well done Colleenโyou are a blessing!

I typically do not listen to Podcasts but Wake Up to Your Life is a must add to your media stream. Colleenโs inspirational conversations are a great way to jump starting your day, re-igniting your career, finding your passion, tapping into your message or just connecting to your best you. Her mission is consistent and simple, itโs your life: Wake Up to Your Life. I hope everyone finds themselves and purpose in what Colleen has found her lifeโs purpose in doing for others. Great job Colleen, your have found your calling SISTAH! Chef M~

Naturally vulnerable and uplifting perspective
Iโve truly enjoyed the few episodes that I have listened to and am excited for the rest! Colleen takes a very down to earth approach while tackling various subjects that I believe the majority of people feel internally. The difficult challenges that we face as humans can seem far too overwhelming at times, but itโs always good to feel like youโre not alone in those matters. She has an incredibly insightful way of bringing these things to light, as well as addressing the multitude of thoughts that flood our minds daily. The wise stories come across as a nurturing act of love and a safe space for you to witness your own relative vulnerability. Highly recommend, especially if youโre searching for uplifting, therapeutic vibes.

Sheโs the real deal
I learned about Colleen through a dear friend (who is btw a guest on todayโs episode) and was immediately drawn to her warm energy, down-to-earth, natural, fun and authentic personality. I feel like Iโve known Colleen for years, -we have never met in person- and every episode of her podcast touches on subjects/topics we all deal with at some point in our lives. She definitely brightens my day, brings a new perspective, laughter, vulnerability, motivation and so much more. In many ways I recognize myself in her and maybe you will too. Enjoy listening~

Keeping It Real
Iโve followed Colleen Odegaard for years, from her days hosting WCNCโs morning news show to Charlotte Today and now to her coaching business. This podcast is always real. Colleen says out loud what a lot of us are thinking to our selves and she knows how to relate to our own fears and roadblocks that keep us from living our best lives. Iโm 5 episodes in and canโt wait to listen to the rest. Thanks for inspiring me Colleen!

I am in stages of BIG transition right now, and Colleenโs podcast is spot on, exactly, PRECISELY, what I need. Thank you, Colleen, for sharing so intimately, and coaching me through my fears and Imposter Syndrome. Working on changing my thoughts and turning them positive.

One of a Kind
I have a 78 mile commute each way to work. Needless to say, I have a library of podcasts. I hate to admit it but I think this the first review Iโve ever written. To put it simply, Colleen is changing my life in a good way! I donโt focus on prollins. I am understanding that Iโm not the only one that deals with imposter syndrome or anxiety and I am applying her solutions. Her voice and content is like a cup of perfect hot chocolate! And her faith is out front!! Keep it up!!

This is exactly what I needed today! Thank you for this. Recently we found our dream house and put in an offer contingent on the sale of ours. Now we wait. After three days and a lot of traffic through, no offers. I was so discouraged. Thanks for the reminder to be patient and to keep the vibe high! I mean, itโs only been three days! Give it a second! Thanks again for this important reminder. โค๏ธ

Attitude of Gratitude
Colleen, This podcast was right on time for me. One of the many lessons I am learning during this quarantine is to love me for me. That sounds simple, but itโs not-well for me. I turned 50 November 23rd of last year and as soon as I decided to love me , as me...life came at me fast and I shrunk back. This lesson you taught just now has given me courage to rise again and embrace MY journey-itโs no one elseโs(and if I canโt embrace it ...who can). Hope that made sense. Lol But I want to thank you for being transparent and sharing your heart with us. Itโs a beautiful heart for others I see in you. (And thatโs the love of Jesus shining through). I am grateful to Him for you, and all He has brought you through to bless us. I am a fan of your podcasts and thank you so much for letting your light shine(for Gods Glory). Praying for you and your family:Gods Blessings, His Peace and Strength for the journey. Love you with His love my sister. Melissa Griffin

Listening to Colleen is like sitting in a room with your Best girlfriend sharing a cup of coffee and knowing that you have somebody with your best interest at heart listening and sharing their experiences with you. It is rare to find somebody who is as authentic as she is. She truly deeply cares about supporting others and helping them live a meaningful life. This is a must listen to podcast

Colleen is a just one of those people
There are people that cross your path in this lifetime that you know right from the minute you meet them that they are true blue, unique, and someone you want to be around more. Colleen is just one of those people. She engages and gives you her full attention while listening, and always has well thought out advice. If there was anyone who was made to give uplifting advice and spirtually positive podcasts, it's her. I feel better and motivated after listening!!

Showing Up
Just listened to my first podcast Showing Up. You were spot on with four things and I said YES! One was donโt say things happen for a reason. I unexpectedly lost my husband in 2008 and there were some that said this to me. It made me angry to hear those words, because there was no good reason my husband was taken from us. I also lost my faith and was so mad at God for taking my husband and daughterโs dad from her. Another thing some would say was let me know if you need anything. I didnโt have the energy or mindset to even think straight for the first several months. I needed people to anticipate what needs needed met. Thankfully I had some wonderful neighbors(we were here only 14 months; here from Ca), colleagues, and family that stepped up. Lastly, you mentioned a fourth thing that spoke to me and I canโt remember now. Lol. Going back to listen because itโll bug me. And I love Breneโ Brown as well. Great job Colleen.

Great way to start!
I like to think of Colleen as the great communicator. Sincerity is what you get from her interviews and compassion and concern is what you get from her advice. Iโm glad she has decided to help others as life coach. Thereโs a lot food for thought in this segment and it got me thinking other angles of my life. And then she threw in some funny. Keep listening because her humor is what is going to surprise and hook you. This girl is an unsung talent, but not for long, cause guess what she sings too!

Powerful, Practical Advice
Colleenโs podcast is about analyzing our thoughts to better understand how they direct our actions and relationships. If we are mindful about what we dwell on, we can purposefully think, act, and live in a more positive and productive manner. We are often our own worst critic, and negative thoughts lead to an unhappy and unfulfilled life. Through her podcast, Colleen offers practical advice about how to think, act, and react. Her points are illustrated by personal examples, honest confessions, and humorous stories of her own experiences. I immediately began to apply her knowledge to my own circumstances, and I look forward to living a more positive, healthy, helpful life with her help.

I have been waiting to hear your voice and by that I mean your story. You share with complete honesty and no fluff. Your โvoiceโ is authentic and not what you THINK we should hear but your story and LIFE really is when we hear the words โwake up.โ As a former broadcaster and 50 year old, I can relate as I fall into that realm of am I enough and should I have a bigger job title, etc. All I can say isโ your timing is perfect and thanks for being the first voice I woke up to on THIS day.
