Episode 316: Is Binge Drinking More Dangerous Than You Think? with Colleen Clifford Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of alcohol-related suicide. Please listen with care. Colleen Clifford lost her husband to alcohol, but it took years and a handful of wild card moments for her to confront her own relationship with drinking. 95% of the time? She felt in control. 5% of the time, something flipped. A split-second decision, a blackout, or a version of herself she didn't fully recognize.

Today, we're talking about the psychology of the wild card, why "mostly fine" can still cost you your integrity, and the moment Colleen decided she would never again gamble with who she was becoming.

IN THIS EPISODE:

The wild card effect, and why it doesn't care how successful or in-control you are
The staggering number of people binge drinking kills each year
How Colleen coped with the loss of her husband while in the middle of the sea
The integrity rupture that forces a woman to ask, "Who am I becoming?"
Why writing Life Beyond the Binge felt non-negotiable

Episode 315: The Dirty Truth About Social Drinking: Why 'Everything in Moderation' Is BS with Hadley Sorensen Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Hadley Sorensen didn't stop drinking four years ago because everything fell apart. She quit because something felt off, even though from the outside, her drinking looked completely normal.

That intuitive hit led her to do what only 1% of people ever do – write the book she couldn't find: The Dirty Truth on Social Drinking: "Everything in Moderation" and Other BS.

Hadley talks about how she is dismantling the toxic narratives around "mommy wine juice culture" which can keep you stuck in shame, and the belief that you need a dramatic reason to quit. You don't need to keep doing something that makes you feel like crap just because everyone else is.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why moderate alcohol use can leave you feeling out of alignment and stuck in shame
The surprising discoveries Hadley made about her friendships since ditching alcohol
Why Hadley lost followers when she stopped being the "wine-loving fitness mom"
Why she wrote the book she desperately needed and couldn't find anywhere
How mommy wine juice culture is evolving from sippy cups to perimenopause jokes

Episode 314: Red Flags Everywhere: Why Going Back to Alcohol After Dry January Is Like Texting Your Toxic Ex at 2 am Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

If you think about it, drinking again in February is kind of like texting your toxic ex at 2 am after you started dating a really good guy.

Trust me, I've been there. I understand the weirdly tempting allure of alcohol and the fear of committing beyond Dry January… But why not keep dating this alcohol-free life for another month, and see how it goes?

In this episode, I'll share some stories from my first year being alcohol-free, the red flags I couldn't ignore, and how I debunked the subconscious beliefs that made alcohol alluring, making way for the most intense freedom I ever felt.

IN THIS EPISODE:

My own roller coaster stories about drinking again after my first Dry January (it wasn't the fun reunion I expected)
The realization I had on February 24 that changed my life forever
The mindset shift you need to continue instead of obsessing over the idea of "forever"
How to cultivate an unshakeable WHY to make living alcohol-free the most fulfilling life you're meant for
Why drinking after a break actually makes you feel worse

Episode 313: Dry January Motivation: Successful People Don't Drink Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

David Goggins, Warren Buffett, Gretchen Rubin, Elizabeth Gilbert, Brene Brown: These wildly successful people all share ONE habit that completely contradicts the champagne-on-a-yacht fantasy we've been sold.

I have been in so many rooms with high-achieving 7-8-figure entrepreneurs, leaders, and authors, and it is UNCANNY how many times alcohol is missing. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

In this final episode of Euphoric's Dry January series, we're debunking all the myths around alcohol and why more ambitious, creative, future-focused people are opting out entirely.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why alcohol sabotages the exact brain functions high performers rely on most (almost no one talks about this)
The lie we've been sold about success, luxury, and alcohol, and where that myth actually came from
Why ambitious people are ditching alcohol for a reason that has nothing to do with wellness
The sure-fire way to find success in this changing AI-dominated world

Episode 311: What Actually Happens to Your Body in 31 Days Without Alcohol Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

What happens to your gut when you stop drinking? Your skin? Your liver, your heart, your blood pressure, your brain's gray matter?

My personal hot take is that if pharmaceutical companies could bottle the effects of being alcohol-free, it would solve most diseases and chronic issues people have today, because the before and after difference of drinking and not drinking is INSANE.

When I went alcohol-free, I not only felt and looked better, but I saw major changes in my biometrics, including my blood pressure and cholesterol, which were not what I thought they should be in my 20s and 30s.

In this episode, I go deep on what happens to your body on a physiological level when you don't drink for a month, with less bloating, inflammation, and gray brain matter, and better digestion, nutrient absorption – the list goes on and on.

If you're doing Dry January, be sure to check out the other episodes in the series, including Episode 309, about the mindset shifts you want to have this month, and Episode 310, about the weird side effects of Dry January.

IN THIS EPISODE:

The shocking science behind what happens in just 31 days without alcohol, from your gut microbiome transforming in days to your skin visibly glowing within weeks
My own personal journey in lowering my blood pressure and cholesterol just by ditching alcohol, which was far more effective than my "miracle" tea and wellness hacks
How skipping alcohol starts regenerating brain cells, boosts focus, memory, and mental clarity, and unlocks creativity most people never knew they had
Powerful proof that your body is a healing machine: C-reactive protein drops, liver repairs itself, blood sugar rebalances, and cancer markers plummet

Episode 310: Sugar Cravings, Boredom, and Other Weird Dry January Effects Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

Why does eliminating alcohol suddenly make you crave sugar like Cookie Monster, struggle with sleep (though everyone swears you'll snooze like a baby), or find yourself existentially bored?

These aren't signs that Dry January "isn't working." They're signs that your nervous system, hormones, and dopamine pathways are recalibrating.

I talk a lot about the incredible benefits of going alcohol-free: the confidence, the creativity, the clarity, and the INSANE biological changes. But some of these benefits take time. If this is your first Dry January or you've had a very "wet" December, your body might take awhile to heal and rebalance itself.

This episode is about some of the weirdest and most misunderstood side effects of Dry January and how to work through them so you don't spiral or quit early. What comes next is the life-changing part.

P.S. We're running a Dry January series all month long alongside our annual Dry Bootcamp (community, coaching, training, guides, meditations, for $55) which starts TOMORROW, January 8. It doesn't matter where you are on your alcohol-free journey – come join us!

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why your sweet tooth might be off the charts during Dry January, plus, guilt-free tricks to manage it without losing your mind
The reasons why your sleep might get worse before it gets better, and how to leverage next-level sleep hygiene for that best-sleep-ever feeling
How eliminating alcohol exposes just how much "fake fun" has taken over your day, and why boredom is actually your secret for unlocking untapped creativity and authentic joy
Ideas for making Dry January exciting, from pleasure experiments to daily rituals that help you rediscover what YOU truly find fun

Episode 309: Dry January Success: 6 Mindset Shifts That Will Make or Break Your Month Dec 31, 2025

Show notes

Dry January isn't about deprivation for 31 days without alcohol. It's about gaining MORE: more energy, more sleep, more presence, more clarity, more motivation, more JOY.

The dry january trend is huge, with upwards of 44% of the population trying it.

But you don't want to approach it like an elimination diet. Trust me when I say you don't want to rely purely on willpower.

Today, I'm sharing six mindset shifts that work at the subconscious level and will turn your Dry January into a life-changing experience.

Accountability can make all the difference in these kinds of challenges (it's one of my hacks of life!) – which is why we're doing Dry Bootcamp community experience this January with coaching, training, guides, meditations, for only $55.

We'll also be diving deeper into these ideas throughout our Dry January podcast series, and you can explore the full framework in my bestselling book, Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You.

IN THIS EPISODE:

The surprising reason Dry January is nothing like a typical elimination diet, and why willpower alone will never cut it
The truth bomb: Everything positive you've ever believed about alcohol is made up – and how society manufactures myths that secretly keep us stuck
The powerful shift from "I can't drink" to "I don't drink so I can …" for example, "I don't drink so I can run marathons"
Seeing this period not as a "reset" but as an avenue to become the superwoman version of yourself

Episode 308: Steal My End of the Year and New Year Reflection Process Dec 24, 2025

Show notes

Before you set goals for 2026, there's one POWERFUL thing you can do to make sure you don't repeat the same patterns.

Think about the previous year – the wins, the losses, the career moves, the travel, the adventure – and what it all means. What did you learn in 2025? And what are you bringing into 2026?

In this episode, I reveal my annual reflection process, including the life audit questions I ask each December and the methods I use to stay focused while charting my vision for the year ahead. We're talking about vision boards, joining communities, and setting a "word of the year." My word for 2026? Certainty.

For me, 2025 was a year of being out in the world, traveling, getting paid to speak, and hosting four events. In 2026, I'm excited to turn inward and hone in on creating.

Consider this episode your gentle nudge to pause, get clear, and start dreaming up what you actually want your next chapter to feel like.

P.S. Coming up next at Euphoric is Dry January, which will always have a special place in my heart. Join us for Dry Boot Camp starting January 8!

IN THIS EPISODE:

How I audit every core area of my life: health, career, money, relationships, fun, spirituality—and pinpoint where I need to go ALL IN next year
Why high-achievers tend to feel let down at year's end, and the counterintuitive hack to focus on massive wins instead
The power of designating a "word of the year", and how I came up with mine (2026 is "certainty")
Why going after your goals solo often keeps you stuck, and how plugging into the right community or mentorship can make your transformation inevitable
