Episode 248: Finding Time for Wellness for High-Achieving Women with Megan Swan Oct 30, 2024

Going alcohol-free is one of the best things you can do for your health. But what about after that? What are the next steps?

Megan Swan is a guru on women’s wellness who works with high-performing, high-achieving women. In this episode, she and Karolina talk about how to think about your wellness differently so it’s easier to incorporate into your life.

Megan and Karolina met years ago, and she actually just graduated from the Empowered AF Coach Certification program (plus, she led a yoga class and shared incredible wellness rituals at the retreat, too!)

If your holistic wellness routines are taking a backseat as you tackle your most ambitious goals, Megan will inspire you to prioritize your health so you can get to the next level without burning out.

She even debunks myths about sugar (just eat the damn fruit!), will help you find ways to “sneak in” movement, AND build a bank of healthy, guilt-free meals to pull from.

IN THIS EPISODE:

How removing alcohol and embracing fruits, veggies, and fermented foods can supercharge your digestion
Megan’s 7-year alcohol-free milestone, and why she feels better than she ever has at age 45
Eating intuitively, debunking diet myths, removing food guilt, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution
Manageable changes you can make to integrate wellness into your busy life more seamlessly and superfoods to incorporate into your diet

Episode 247: I’m in My Big Moves Era Oct 23, 2024

What decisions are holding you back from entering your "Big Moves" era?

Karolina recently coined the term when she was stuck in the dreaded waiting game, unable to make a series of decisions until a certain one was finalized.

Where can you say YES to your heart without over-analyzing everything?

When a decision feels like a “hell yes!” but we fail to take action, we lose steam and feel weird or guilty about it. Waiting creates anxiety, and stagnation.

It can make you feel powerless.

Karolina talks about the power of making those gutsy “hell yes!” decisions – leading to a spontaneous trip to Mexico, a business retreat in Brazil, and how exhilarating and transformative the resulting domino effect can be for future decision-making.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling way too many open tabs in life, this episode is your wake-up call to make those monumental changes you've been dreaming about.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Karolina's "Big Moves Era" and how you can make quick, powerful decisions to supercharge your life
The “waiting game” – how we fall victim to it, and the big decisive moves that can bust us out of it and elevate our personal and professional life to unprecedented heights
How understanding your human design type can revolutionize the way you make decisions – especially those “hell yes!” decisions
Why sometimes indecision – or just putting off a big decision because circumstances aren’t perfect – is actually worse than telling yourself no
Practical tips to start acting like the future, super-successful version of yourself right now

Episode 246: This Wasn’t Possible For Our Moms’ Generation Oct 16, 2024

Can you even believe that just fifty years ago, a woman needed a man to cosign on a business loan or open a checking account?

Women weathered so many wars, famine, and poverty back in the day. With raw resilience, they survived against immense odds.

But in our current reality, opportunity sits at our fingertips. You can start a business, write a book, or create a film with NO gatekeeper required.

And when you do, it will bring such energy and passion that it will spill over into so many other areas of your life.

If you need help finding your power and purpose, there’s ONE SPOT left in our Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program, which includes a certification to become an alcohol-free life coach along with 4 other modalities. Apply today!

Episode 245: I Almost Lost $1 Million Dollars Oct 09, 2024

This is the story of how Karolina almost lost $1 million dollars.

Today, she pulls back the curtain on her own journey from a stressed out in her cubicle to becoming a wildly successful entrepreneur and globe-trotting author.

But there was a time when she didn’t feel she could move forward with this dream.

Karolina had so many doubts, fears, and insecurities, especially about showing up online and looking cringe.

If she hadn’t mustered up the bravery, she would have missed out on well over $1 MILLION dollars her boutique coaching business has generated.

Our brains are evolutionarily built to look out for the negative.

Have you ever told yourself you’re not ready, too old, too young, or not confident enough? Or that the world isn’t ready and your dreams are silly?

You’ll learn exactly how to rewire your self-doubt, and hear straight from Karolina why being brave isn’t something we’re born with – but instead, a decision we make.

If you’re looking to change your life (and other people’s lives) and join the alcohol-free movement, get certified as an alcohol-free life coach along with 4 other modalities in the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program. Last day to submit your application is October 15.

Episode 244: The Profundity of Helping Someone Change Their Relationship to Alcohol Oct 02, 2024

What would it mean to you to forever change the trajectory of someone else’s life?

Because that’s what helping a person redefine their relationship with alcohol can do. It catalyzes profound changes not just for them, but for society as a whole.

When Karolina stopped drinking, the alcohol-free movement was small. It was hard to find people who decided to eliminate drinking just because it didn’t fit in with what they wanted out of life. Today, the movement has grown and it is igniting!

More and more people are reevaluating their relationship with alcohol.

Imagine if every individual, empowered by their own alcohol-free journey, inspired others? Think about the freedom and potential it would create. It’s a major grassroots movement for change.

And Karolina wants to see MORE leaders in the alcohol-free space, because that’s how the world changes: with all of us standing up and doing our part.

If you know you are meant to be a leader in the alcohol-free movement, get certified as an alcohol-free life coach along with 4 other modalities in the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program.

Imagine attending a party where you could step into the shoes of your future self.

Episode 241: What I Wish I Knew When Starting My Business Part 2 Sep 11, 2024

Karolina used to think the most successful people in life started out with confidence.

But here’s the raw truth: a lot of us DON’T start with confidence.

What you really need is the courage to take that first leap. Courage is a choice. Investing in your dream might feel hard, but confidence will follow as you practice and commit.

This is the second installment of a two-part episode about what Karolina wishes she knew when she started her business. (Make sure you listen to Part 1 if you haven’t already!)

Karolina talks about the choice to be courageous, why she invested $24,000 in a mastermind, the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship, and how to get out of an employee mindset.

People whose businesses take off aren’t necessarily smarter. They’re just brave enough to take action faster. Consequently, they fail faster and reach success faster, too.

If you want to have more impact, freedom and autonomy in your career and become a highly sought after coach, apply for the "Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program" – which includes FIVE certifications in different modalities, all expenses paid weekend retreat, and four month business mastermind.

Episode 239: What I Wish I Knew When Starting My Business Part 1 Aug 28, 2024

When Karolina first started her business, she would reach an uncomfortable edge every time she had to invest into it.

Even the very first $20 domain name made her nervous.

But she realized over time, that in the online coaching and education business, you have some of the lowest expenses and startup costs of any business model.

You don’t have to invest in office space, get a lease, pay for cost of goods, production or factories, tons of employees, etc.

Most traditional business models require $500,000 - $1,000,000 in upfront investments to just get the business off the ground.

But the one thing she realized is the biggest and most important investment?

Education and mentorship.

Education into your skills and your business know-how.

For Karolina, her vision for Euphoric started to take shape while she was working full-time. Hear how much she saved from her paycheck every month, how nervous she was to invest in each program, certification, or coaching she took, and how she’s come to realize that continually investing in your skills and business know-how is the lifeblood of your company.

Furthering your skills (as a coach) and your business and marketing know-how is literally the most important investment in the business, and the only real big expense in an otherwise low-cost business model.

Over the years, Karolina has poured over $200,000 into education, coaching, and personal development, with phenomenal returns grossing well over a million dollars in revenue!

But how did she get there? In this episode, we’ll start at the beginning and normalize each stage of creating a wildly successful online business.

You’ll hear her favorite hacks for making your first business investments, and how to get your partner on board.

Believing in your vision fiercely is the type of commitment that will lead you to unparalleled growth and transformation.

If you’re ready to go all in, apply for the "Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program" – which includes FIVE certifications in different modalities and an all expenses paid weekend retreat!

And tune in next week for Part 2 of this episode.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why the online education/coaching space has some of the lowest start up and maintenance costs of any business model, but why investing in this one area is a must
How to make “courageous” investments and bet on yourself, whether for a $20 domain name, or a higher ticket coaching program
How Karolina took the leap from full-time employment to running her own business, and how much she leveraged from every paycheck to get there

Episode 233: The Myth of Normal Drinking Jul 17, 2024

In honor of dry July, Karolina is debunking the most common myths and objections about going alcohol-free.

What if everything you believed about "normal drinking" was a lie?

Society puts "normal drinking" on a pedestal: the cultured person who enjoys just one glass of wine over a nice dinner. But is this achievable or even desirable?

It turns out that 60% of regular drinkers overdrink, and it's also been proven that 40% to 50% of our drinking is underreported.

And drinking doesn’t feel good - would you rather be someone who drinks normally and never gets the wake up call? Or would you rather be a person who gets the negative consequence, reevaluates alcohol, and wakes up to the life you were really supposed to live?

When you join Karolina’s 22-day Dry Bootcamp, you’ll learn how to relax and have fun without alcohol, build a sustainable, alcohol-free lifestyle, and discover your deeper why. Plus, you’ll get all the guides, rituals, and meditations to help you connect to your higher self. We start August 6th. Sign up for just $59!

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why "normal drinking" is actually a myth and why what society views as normal is often an unhealthy illusion
The majority of people underreport their alcohol consumption by 40% to 50% (!), plus, what this means for your perceptions of "moderate" drinking
How intuition and listening to your body’s signals will shift you into greater confidence, courage, and purpose
The REAL impact of even a single drink on your body (think disrupted sleep cycles and metabolic changes!)
A sneak peek into Karolina’s 22-day Dry Bootcamp, which starts August 6th. Break free from alcohol and align with your highest self.

Episode 219: Alexandria Wombwell-Povey on Manifesting Magic and How To Believe In Yourself Apr 10, 2024

You've heard of manifestation, right? It's not about wishful thinking, but aligning thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions to turn dreams into reality.

Business mentor Alexandria Wombwell-Povey transformed her life from a depleted and uninspired insurance broker, to deeply fulfilled, abundant, and joyful.

Imagine building your dream house in Tulum or experiencing a life-changing retreat on Richard Branson’s private island! Alexandria has done it all - and her ambition started with a vision board, faith, and a little bit of delusion.

But her journey to this dream life in supporting other women wasn’t a straight shot – in this episode, she gets raw and vulnerable about why she still throws herself pity parties, how she sets boundaries (especially in the DMs), and how pregnancy and motherhood was an eye-opening, “radical realignment” in her life.

If Alexandria can so powerfully transform her tears into triumph, what can YOU do with your story? What's your first step towards manifesting the life you were meant for?

IN THIS EPISODE:

Alexandria’s emotional breakdown on a train home to visit her parents and the leap of faith she took shortly thereafter
The power of self-belief (and sometimes delusion) even when your hard work doesn’t at first seem to be paying off
Her thoughts on manifestation: laws of vibration, laws of attraction, and laws of ACTION – plus, Alexandria’s life-changing retreat on Necker Island with Richard Branson
The “slap in the face” she received when she was living her best life – and how it brought her closer to herself than she’d ever been before
How pregnancy and motherhood forced Alexandria to create boundaries and honor a rhythm of life where some things – alcohol, for example – just doesn’t fit the same way anymore

It’s not an app or some fancy software. All you need is a few 5x8 notepads and a curiosity to track everything from your aspirations to your self-care rituals.

Episode 215: Understanding the Subconscious Mind (And How It Can Change Your Life) Mar 13, 2024

Your subconscious mind controls your beliefs, values, emotions, personality, and essentially drives your reality.

We act out what we subconsciously believe we are worthy of, and most of our subconscious beliefs are programmed by other people in childhood. But here's the kicker, we can reprogram them.

In today’s episode, Karolina is going to demystify the subconscious mind so you can understand the incredible power of it, and how it's going to change your life.

We don’t have a perfectly programmed subconscious. And it’s nobody’s fault. You’ll hear about different modalities you can use to override the programming you picked up in childhood (like hypnosis, EFT, and NLP), and how to immerse yourself in environments that can change your identity.

There’s a lot of science in this episode, shared in an easy to understand format. All of Karolina’s successes as a leader, coach, and author were a result of this reprogramming–and this conversation is jam-packed with fascinating insights that will help you create beliefs that will serve you.

And if you want to delve deeper into this topic, learn more about the Empowered AF Coach Certification program, which starts March 28th!

How the incredible works of Charles Sanders Peirce, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung helped shape our understanding of the subconscious mind

In this episode, she talks about how retreats can change your life, and about the profound impacts they’ve had on her own, providing insight on all things ranging from alcohol to reflections on motherhood.

In our lives, we’re so distracted, running from one thing to the next, and it’s almost impossible to just unplug for a week. Retreats are so sacred. Between embodiment workshops, hiking, and daily yoga sessions, they get you out of your comfort zone, surrounded by incredible, like-minded women, and force you to be intentional about listening to your highest self.

There are still a few spots left in the upcoming Euphoric Costa Rica Retreat, which is all about deepening your bigger purpose so you can be the most empowered version of yourself in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Join Karolina in April and you will return home braver and empowered with a new group of women cheering you on, saying girl – you are meant to do this!

IN THIS EPISODE:

Karolina’s experience attending retreats and the unexpected “aha” moments they gave her about her own life
The difference between going on a retreat vs. practicing some of these “retreat” exercises at home or going on a vacation
Getting outside your comfort zone and disconnecting from your normal routine, and the deep levels of friendship that can form among other retreat members
A detailed look at the alcohol-free Euphoric Costa Rica Retreat for women this April, and how it’ll help you deepen your bigger purpose (plus, it’s the only Euphoric retreat in 2024!)
Wealth embodiment, attracting goodness in your life, and looking at 2024 not as the time to “tighten the ship,” but to take on your new, more empowered identity

Get ready for life-changing advice on how to own your identity, shift your beliefs, stand up for your vision, and set boundaries.

Rachel Luna is an international speaker, certified master neuroscience coach to 6- and 7-figure earning entrepreneurs, and author of Permission to Offend, as seen on The Today Show.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Rachel’s history with alcohol and how she’d use it as a numbing agent to the fact that she always felt she was “too much” – but also never enough
The impact being alcohol-free has made in both her success and her connection to her spiritual life
Not being defined by success or shortcomings – rather, by the way you treat people and the work you leave behind
Journaling to manifest using neuroscience-backed methods and scripting your desires in detail as though they have already happened
Giving space for negative emotions so you can then clear the space to create energy to go after your dreams
The importance of faith when it comes to continuing, even when things don’t work, and the difference this made in Rachel’s life when it came to trusting that “soft nudge”

Episode 205: Change Your Drinking 101: How to Go Alcohol-Free for Dry January and Beyond Jan 03, 2024

Episode 203: Cast Your Vision for the New Year and Claim Your New Identity Dec 20, 2023

As 2023 draws to a close, it’s the perfect time of year for reinvention - to shed old identities and limiting beliefs to create a bold new vision for yourself in 2024 - spiritually, physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

Whether you dream of becoming a morning person, an author, a parent, or to build a successful business without alcohol, these are all critical shifts in your identity and this episode will inspire you to make it happen!

Karolina shares an inside peek into the Robert Dilts Pyramid, which is a fascinating model for creating transformation and change in your life. Not surprisingly, the factors that are most impactful (vision, identity, and beliefs) all have to do with your mindset.

We will never find our self-worth just in accomplishing goals alone. The point of a goal is to become the version of yourself that can achieve that goal.

Check out our show notes for tips on how to make your alcohol-free holidays AMAZING so you can fully embrace your potential in the new year and join Karolina on January 9th for Dry Bootcamp!

IN THIS EPISODE:

All about the Robert Dilts Pyramid and how to use it to inspire radical reinvention in our lives by shaping our vision, identity, and beliefs
Why it’s okay for our visions to feel a little delusional (we owe it to our ancestors who grew up with survival mechanisms and didn’t have the same means as us)
How to carry the identity of someone you want to be, even if it’s not yours yet (for example, an author or a business owner)
Finding fulfillment by connecting with something bigger than you, and what brings us purpose, from personal growth to helping others
Karolina’s experience of shifting her identity from “drinker” to “non-drinker”

Episode 202: What If You Don’t Achieve Your 2023 Goals? Dec 13, 2023

This episode is a heart-to-heart for big dreamers and goal-setters. Beautiful, your dreams are still worth it, even if you didn’t achieve them in the timeframe you expected. What were your goals for 2023? Did you meet them?

Sometimes we overestimate what we can do in a year, but we can also underestimate how long a goal will actually take.

Today’s empowering conversation with Karolina will fuel you to create more space and inspiration for your goals as you move into the new year. We cover managing expectations, “timeline goals”, celebrating our wins along the way, and why we need to be unrealistic about our dreams sometimes!

You’ll also hear a few examples of how Karolina processes goals not met in her own life and uses setbacks as stepping stones for future success.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Looking at the effort BEHIND the goal: what were the books read? The programs joined? Did you do anything differently this year?
How to use lessons from the previous year to do things differently in the next – for example, getting more support or creating more time for a goal
How we often underestimate how long things take (our goals are not defined by how quickly we achieve them!) and why sometimes, it’s actually better when things take longer
Removing the attachment of self-worth to the outcome and focusing instead on what we did and the work we put in
The importance of ENJOYING ourselves as we work toward our goal, because happiness is not getting to the goal – it’s who we grow into during the process!

Episode 201: Do I Have to Be Certified to Coach? Dec 06, 2023

Coaching is one of the most fulfilling career paths Karolina has ever experienced. While it hasn’t been easy, it helped her achieve her biggest dreams, like writing a book, getting on TV, and hosting retreats all over the world.

So many Euphoric listeners have changed their relationship with alcohol, and after seeing massive epiphanies, transformations, and the joy and happiness that comes out of it, they want to help others do the same. One question Karolina gets often: do you need to be certified to become a coach?

In today’s episode, Karolina tackles this question along with so many others. You’ll learn the pros of getting certified as a coach, the difference between coaching and therapy, the cutting-edge techniques inside the Empowered AF Coach certification program, which allows participants to get certified in FIVE modalities, and the profound impact coaching has in helping people find fulfillment.

Karolina has built a multiple six-figure company, spoken on stages all over the world, and even participated in interviews with her heroes. She’s worked hard to get to where she is today.

One year, she was drinking over her divorce. Now, she’s a top alcohol-free leader who grew her IG following by over 2000%!

Megan Wilcox was 38, recently divorced, and lived a “safe, mediocre life.” Most nights, she turned to alcohol to get through – until a personal moment caused her to stop drinking. At 6 months alcohol-free, she launched an Instagram account, sharing her journey for accountability.

Today, that account has almost 45,000 followers! It inspired Megan to launch a business, SobahSistahs Sobriety Coaching, where she paves the path of sobriety and empowerment for hundreds of women through group coaching and retreats all over the world.

Megan is currently in the Empowered AF Coach Certification program and has done business coaching with Karolina too. She is a prime example of what’s possible if you one hundred percent go after your dreams in a short period of time.

So many people have these twisted belief systems about money: that we are tied to the value we can put on our resume. The idea that we can make money off our passions and creativity is true today, but wasn’t necessarily true for our ancestors, which is why it can be hard to imagine.

Karolina also offers some tough love about devoting time and space for these passions and talks about the strength of empowerment groups like Become Emboldened. Registration is open until November 7th, and this is the last launch of the year, so don’t wait.

Your dreams are waiting for you.

Episode 195: Become Emboldened Win! Writing a Children’s Book, Becoming a Coach, and Dreaming Bigger with Chrissy Janiga Oct 25, 2023

Why do we not dream bigger?

As kids, we have all these dreams. For Karolina, it was to write books. At one point, she dreamt of winning the Nobel Prize. But when she stepped into adulthood, she stopped dreaming.

Today’s guest, Chrissy Janiga, is an author, social worker, wife, mother, and a mindset and alcohol-free coach. She too forgot about what it was like to dream. Here, she shares her amazing story about how ditching alcohol allowed her to dream bigger, unleash her inner fire, and form a beautiful relationship with her intuition!

Chrissy is an alum of the Become Emboldened program and is now in our Empowered AF Certification program. Through her work, she shares her message and makes an impact in the world. Her story gives people permission to dream and say: why not me?

With “gray area” drinking, everything might look fine on the surface but can cause you to play smaller than what you’re fully capable of
How a $100 course was the catalyst for Chrissy self-publishing her first children’s book (and how she overcame her creative blocks)
Chrissy’s experiences with manifestation and meditation and how these practices get her excited to start a new day
How every time we expand, it creates a ripple effect, giving other people permission to choose their desires and dreams, too

Episode 194: 5 Things You Should Stop Overthinking Immediately – Plus, a Free Workshop! Oct 18, 2023

It’s not selfish or greedy to want more. In fact, the universe is tapping you on the shoulder to live out your destiny and turn on your greater gifts for the world.

Six years ago, Karolina decided she wanted way more than the cubicle she was working in. It’s not that her job was bad – it was fine. She just felt it was time for a change. There was more she felt called to do in the world.

If you want to change your life, you need to shed the past versions of yourself: your past patterns, your past habits, and most importantly, your past ways of thinking that are no longer working for you.

Today’s episode focuses on five things in particular that you should stop overthinking immediately so that you can spend that time and energy manifesting your next steps!

Need extra help? Check out Karolina’s free AF Fire workshop from October 24th-26th. It will be the perfect dose of inspiration so you can move forward on fueling your biggest dreams.

The insane amount of mental energy we waste debating whether or not to drink alcohol – and the importance of shedding our past ways of thinking
Your permission slip to change careers if you’re feeling stuck and are open to the possibilities. We can justify where we are, but it’s not selfish or greedy to want more out of life!
How to combat overthinking, especially when it comes with imposter syndrome, and what shifted for Karolina that moved her from inaction to action
How, when you get started, there is no perfect “how to” recipe, plus the danger of perfectionism in those initial steps
The radical mindset shift of entering new communities of women who are achieving what you want to achieve vs. trying new ways of thinking while surrounded by people who think in the “old” way

Episode 192: Cutting “Normal” Relationships With Alcohol to Reach Your Unbottled Potential with Amanda Kuda Oct 04, 2023

There doesn’t need to be anything exceptional about your relationship with alcohol to want to change it.

Today’s guest is Amanda Kuda, whose career has mirrored Karolina’s since she began her alcohol-free journey. At the time, they were some of the only women talking about being alcohol-free in a totally different way – not from the perspective of hitting rock-bottom, but from an intuitive choice.

Amanda is a powerhouse in the alcohol-free space, and she has some incredible wisdom and lessons to share about how to embody your full spiritual self.

What it was like for Amanda to begin dating at 31 without alcohol – and how vulnerability and curiosity opened her up to joyful and productive dates (check out Episode 25 for more of Amanda’s perspectives on alcohol-free dating!)
How Amanda’s spiritual journey and inner child work deepened, plus the role the pandemic had on all kinds of awakenings for people, and the future of health and spirituality

Episode 191: Stop Making it About Alcohol: How To Shed What's No Longer Working for You and Step Into Your Brilliance Sep 27, 2023

When you’re debating whether to go alcohol-free, it’s easy to focus on the alcohol itself.

What about the importance of alcohol in modern culture? What about alcohol in history? Do I want to just take a BREAK from alcohol? When will it be okay to drink again? I have a PSA for those of you who are having this debate with yourself. Here it goes:

Stop making it about alcohol.

Instead, what if you looked at this as the start of a beautiful journey – to courageously shed what is no longer working for you and step into your brilliance? What if you saw this as a means to shake up your life and develop a new understanding of yourself and what brings you joy?

You are here because the universe chose you. It’s not about the alcohol – you are simply meant for something much bigger.

How there is actually no safe amount of alcohol for human consumption – even “moderate” drinking can increase rates of heart disease, cancers, and dementia
The strength it takes to remove a negative pattern or behavior and awaken to a higher level of introspection and consciousness
How, when you are no longer relying on alcohol to curb boredom, you learn to ask yourself questions like, what gives me joy?
Our comfort zones – which are full of pain and are where dreams die – and why it’s so incredibly hard to leave them
How to look at courage as a muscle that gets stronger and stronger with the more hard things that you do – plus, the abundance going alcohol-free can bring!
Finding purpose and freedom through guidance and coaching in the Become Euphoric program - less than 2 spots are left

Are you flooded with new ideas and dreams? Maybe you have a vision to start a business or launch a podcast. Maybe you have a goal on your heart to become a coach or write a bestselling book. These dreams can seem daunting. Where do you even start?

Today, Karolina offers an update on what’s been happening behind the scenes of this podcast, from travels all over the world to empowering women through coaching and mastermind retreats.

When Ryan Cass was six years old, he made a promise to himself.

After a harrowing night where the police visited his home due to incidents involving alcohol, Ryan was the one who answered the door, shaking like a leaf. That night, he promised himself that when he grew up, he would never do this.

Episode 184: Life Doesn’t Just Happen to You with Angela Pugh Aug 09, 2023

Take out a pen and piece of paper. Write down what you want.

Don’t worry. Nobody’s going to see it. Can’t think of just one thing? Write it all – everything you want. The next step? Create this life where you get to have the things you want.

Today’s guest, Angela Pugh, is a master life coach, speaker, entrepreneur, and host of the nationally-ranked Addiction Unlimited podcast. In this episode, she shares an important realization she had on her journey to sobriety: that she was not the victim of her life, and that she needed to play a more active role in creating the life she wanted.

A realization Angela had while being a sober bartender – that people are most amazing when they’re in their right mind
The idea of taking the life that’s unfolding in front of you vs. creating the life you want and taking personal responsibility for the life you’ve created

Episode 183: Here’s Your Permission to Start Your Career Over and Create a Life You Dream Of with Chelsea Turgeon Aug 02, 2023

You can start your career over. The hardest part? Giving yourself permission to do so.

So many people have this idea that they’re in too deep. They’ve invested too much time or schooling into something, and that it’s too late to start over. In this episode, Karolina talks with Chelsea Turgeon about how she pivoted from one of those professions most never pivot from – (a doctor!) – to start her own 6-figure business that allows her to travel the world.

Chelsea has been on the show before, but Karolina is bringing her back to share her personal journey. Even more fun is this episode was recorded in Norway where they’re traveling together! Chelsea talks about the sunk-cost fallacy, the future of the job industry, and the power of salvaging - not the past, but the future.

Beautiful, there are so many “shoulds” in this life. You should have a white picket fence. You should have alcohol, because that’s what normal adults drink. You should be employed by a “stable” employer. But what’s more secure than owning your own financial independence?

IN THIS EPISODE:

The sunk-cost fallacy, in which people are reluctant to abandon their careers because they’ve invested too much – and Chelsea’s better way to approach it
Chelsea’s inspirational story: leaving her career as a doctor, buying a one-way ticket to South Korea, and launching her coaching business helping people find their dream careers
Ways in which we normalize misery, and having the intentionality to step outside of that and ask some bigger questions like: why are we doing this?
How to use what you’re currently doing to leverage time (and money) to start your new passions, plus the fallacy of “job security”
The future of jobs, and how many won’t be recognizable to us today due to technology – and the importance of updating our thinking about what’s possible
Tips and tricks to cover the cost of travel, from renting your house to staying in a place longer than a few days

Episode 181: Dial in Your Nutrition and Fitness with Bela Castro Jul 19, 2023

Today, Karolina talks with Bela Castro, a holistic health coach and a former professional tennis player. For Bela, alcohol was always a challenge. Her parents drank as an escape mechanism, and it wasn’t until she stopped drinking herself that she was able to feel better and glow from within.

In this episode, Bela offers the lowdown on eating nutritious, whole foods, the magic of “brown fats”, minimizing sugar, incorporating a fitness routine into a busy lifestyle, as well as what alcohol actually does to our bodies. Bela also breaks down what she eats in a day, from adding flaxseed milk to her oats, to her nighttime tea ritual to relax and unwind.

There are so many inspiring lifestyle hacks and takeaways in this episode.

The psychology of food and alcohol addiction and mindset practices to make intentions around food better and easier
Looking at things that help nourish us (amino acids, fatty acids, healthy carbs, etc.) and the things that cause inflammation in our bodies (alcohol, sugar, wheat)

The importance of taking things one step at a time and listening to your own body and its needs in terms of diet

Episode 180: Am I An Alcoholic? Jul 12, 2023

Am I an alcoholic?

It’s the question you might be asking yourself after having too many drinks at a party. It’s the question you might be asking yourself Monday morning after a weekend of heavy drinking.

The problem with this question? It’s too black and white. It doesn’t give many solutions to move forward. Today, Karolina dives deep into the framing of this question, and how to ask even better questions, like “Is alcohol aligned with my values?”

Our goal is to help you find strength in your alcohol-free story so you can reevaluate the role of alcohol in your life and help create a powerful legacy that changes our drinking culture – because ditching alcohol can be empowering no matter how much you drink!

IN THIS EPISODE:

How the question - am I an alcoholic? - assumes you're either a "normal drinker" or an alcohol; in reality, most find themselves in the messy middle
Consumption levels in the U.S.; though only a small percentage of people drink heavily, the majority of drinkers drink above health guidelines
Better questions to ask, such as, is this making me happy? Is alcohol aligned with my values? Does alcohol help me achieve my goals and dreams?
Alcohol's normalized, glorified role in American culture today, and how, as an adult, it's a way to socialize, celebrate, commiserate, etc.
The problem with the label "alcoholic" and the new terms for drinking in health and wellness circles
Instilling in future generations that they don't need to consider themselves problem drinkers to reevaluate the role of alcohol in their lives

Episode 178: From Corporate Drinking to Alcohol-Free Coach and Author with Dupe Witherick Jun 28, 2023

After climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Dupe Witherick wanted to make an even bigger impact and conquer the world. It was this epic moment of strength and resilience that inspired her to take 21 days off of drinking, which quickly turned into over 3 years alcohol-free, leading to a book and a thriving career as a transformational coach.

Dupe and Karolina break down how the intuitive act of taking a break or quitting alcohol can help you unleash your biggest, most powerful dreams - in fact, it’s the fastest path to making what you want, happen.

You’ll hear about Dupe’s infamous “cocktail of clarity”, the beauty of quitting alcohol and experiencing more REM sleep, and the drinking trends that are so permeated throughout the UK that made it challenging for her to even quit in the first place. Alcohol is so deeply connected to grief, boredom, and unfulfillment, it’s incredible to see what’s on the other side of it.

Episode 176: How to Heal Emotional Eating with Amber Romaniuk Jun 14, 2023

Today, Karolina is talking with emotional eating and digestive health and hormone expert Amber Romaniuk. Sometimes the reasons why we form a relationship with alcohol can also present in other areas of our lives, like emotional eating.

Amber is so vulnerable as she shares her remarkable story with emotional eating, binging food, and how she's been able to heal her inner child, fix her gut and digestive issues, and catapult that into a successful practice where she helps thousands of women across the globe do the same.

Your body is a divine vessel and the more you love yourself, the better you will feel!

IN THIS EPISODE:

How Amber deeply struggled with food addiction and self-sabotage and was conditioned throughout her childhood to suffer from unconscious, mindless eating patterns
The impacts of emotional eating on your digestive health, hormones, and mental health
Amber explains the microcosm of control when it comes to food. Our egos tell us that we’re in control because we can choose what we eat, but we’re also out of control if we’re binge eating and over-eating
The many different meanings of health - it’s more than just a number on a scale. It’s about optimal energy balance, gut balance, hormones, being free of cravings, your mental health feeling at ease, and not feeling guilty after you have a piece of cake
How to mend your past traumas and heal your inner child (and why Amber recommends the Emotional Freedom Technique, or “tapping” to clear out those emotions)
Amber shares what she eats in a typical day, including her favorite smoothie hack and why a vegan diet didn’t work for her

Episode 173: What Next Chapter Is Unfolding For You as You Go Alcohol-Free? May 24, 2023

Is drinking distorting what’s possible for you?

Karolina is breaking down the powerful identity shift that happens when you become a “non-drinker.” It changes your level of confidence, your capacity for courage and self-love, and from that position of increased self-worth, you can actually do the things that you said you would do. You’ll also hear about the intricacies of the subconscious mind and how to use a “warming up” strategy to your advantage (hint: this is how Karolina broke through the limiting beliefs around writing her bestselling book!)

If you're in a position where you're getting lit up about your sense of possibility, about what new dreams might be unfolding in your heart, it’s time to deepen that line of questioning. Ask yourself, “what's possible for me now?”

IN THIS EPISODE:

Your intuition may be knocking on your door to help you re-evaluate the role of alcohol in your life. Are you ignoring that voice or will you take a chance on it?
Karolina describes her journey to an alcohol-free lifestyle. It took a lot of broken promises to herself and seeing her self-worth deteriorate before she stepped into a new identity as a “non-drinker”
How having an identity as a drinker leads to a “so-so” career, “so-so” friendships, and “so-so” everything, and why that shouldn’t be our version of good enough. We can have an extraordinary life beyond our wildest dreams
The intricacies of our subconscious mind, and how Karolina “warmed up” her subconscious to break through the resistance around writing her first book
More about Karolina’s free 5-day workshop series, Ditch Alcohol and Discover Your Purpose and how it’ll stretch your mind to what’s possible

Episode 172: The Power of Hypnosis with Dr. David Spiegel May 17, 2023

It’s incredible to realize how powerful the mind is to help heal the body, and today, we’re diving into the oldest Western conception of psychotherapy: hypnosis!

Dr. David Spiegel is an Associate Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a Medical Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. He has spent more than 40 years tackling clinical research around psycho oncology, stress and health, pain control, sleep, hypnosis, and more, writing 13 books and publishing hundreds of articles along the way.

Today, Karolina and Dr. Spiegel dig into the magic of hypnosis, how it can help you approach ditching alcohol and processing trauma, and the mind-body connection. You’re going to want to tune in!

IN THIS EPISODE:

How hypnosis can be compared to experiencing “hyper-focused attention” that can help you let go of old ways of thinking, change your mind-body relationship, and support stress relief
Dr. Spiegel shares the 3 things that happen to the brain when you enter a state of hypnosis and how it helps you dissociate from who you are and what you can and can't do
How bringing out protective and maternal urges with your body can help you flip your mindset around not drinking with positive reinforcement
The mind-body connection is actually a two-way street. We construct internal AND external realities and our brain decides what to pay attention to
Processing trauma with hypnosis to gain a new perspective on “old pain” and forgiveness
The radical difference between hypnosis and mindfulness (hint: mindfulness is a practice, while hypnosis actually solves problems rapidly and can be a quick fix!)

Karolina is celebrating five years alcohol-free! But the symbolism of what she’s celebrating is even greater than that.

Episode 149: Evolving Your Identity Dec 07, 2022

Today, Karolina is breaking down the importance of evolving our identity when it comes to ditching alcohol. To become a non-drinker, we have to fully and completely claim that identity. Hear about the powerful Hierarchy of Change, the shifting identities we form as children and into adolescence, and why we need to get outside of our comfort zones to experience an evolution and transformation beyond our wildest dreams.

Karolina never thought of herself as an entrepreneur or an online coach. She never believed she would be an author one day either. But she evolved her identity into all of those things and more. Now, the idea of drinking just isn’t even an option anymore because alcohol is meaningless.

If you're getting a nudge from the universe or your intuition that it’s time to change, listen to it! Everyone deserves to see how they feel without alcohol in their life.

Episode 129: Compassion First with Scott Pinyard Jul 13, 2022

Compassion is the #1 way we can really change the way we look at alcohol. How often do we try and use shame, guilt, or blame as a means of holding ourselves accountable? And how often does it fail to be enough?

Karolina has an in-depth conversation with Christy Osborn, a fellow This Naked Mind Coach and business coaching client, to unpack mommy juice culture and the trend of pushing alcohol on moms under the guise of connecting, coping, and treating themselves. Alcohol-free since 2020, Christy’s drinking really picked up when she became a mom in 2010. She used it for solace and “me-time”, but of course, it didn't work. From the dangers of this message to ways of freeing yourself from this cultural trend, feel empowered in breaking the mold and choosing a better way.

Episode 67: Permission to Relax May 05, 2021

We all deserve to relax, take time off, and have more joy and fun in our lives.

It’s so easy to intertwine relaxing with alcohol, especially when we’re constantly on the move and working really hard. It changes our state faster than just about anything. But when you go from a drinking lifestyle to an alcohol-free one, it takes a new way of being to grant yourself the permission to relax.

This conversation was inspired by a fun pool day Danielle and Karolina had recently and covers perspectives on fight or flight mode, your primitive brain, inner child work, managing stress, and their favorite relaxation strategies that don’t involve alcohol.

Episode 64: The Power of Your Subconscious Beliefs Mar 31, 2021

Your results come down to the subconscious beliefs that you may not even KNOW YOU HAVE.

What the heck are subconscious beliefs? These are stories and rules you’ve picked up over your lifetime that you believe to be true, but are not necessarily grounded in any truth. They keep you stuck in roles, behaviors, and patterns that might not be serving your highest self.

Your relationship with alcohol is governed by decades of subconscious beliefs and conditioning from society. Beliefs that aren’t even scientifically true. Beliefs that are incredibly disempowering and limit who you are.

In today’s episode, I debunk a few common beliefs: alcohol helps me sleep . . . and a drink makes me more confident. How about the belief non-drinkers are boring? Something passed down in the American consciousness for centuries!

In Become Euphoric, students get the step-by-step process to uncover every subconscious belief they have around alcohol and ruthlessly examine them for truth and debunk them.

I also share a belief that kept me stuck about becoming an entrepreneur and coach. So once you learn this process, it serves you in life for any belief that’s holding you back.

Ready to change your subconscious beliefs? Join us in Become Euphoric, an 8-week program to take a break from alcohol, debunk the subconscious beliefs that don’t serve you, and build up your dream life instead.

Episode 61: How to Manage Your Emotions Feb 17, 2021

You might recall that alcohol was used as an anesthetic for surgeries just as little as a hundred years ago.

When it comes to alcohol, we attribute so many false beliefs to a drink. Beliefs like, a drink will make me feel more relaxed, or outgoing, or fun (all limiting beliefs that take away your power!)

But if there’s one thing alcohol does well, IT NUMBS. Your thoughts, emotions, and feelings.

And when you take a break, it’s normal to feel a little raw with all the unprocessed emotions and feelings that are coming up to be healed. But your emotions are there for a reason. They are your greatest teacher on how to make shifts in your life to create more joy. Drinking over them ensures you never really get to figure out what you really want or need. You can’t numb the bad without also numbing the good. Learn four healthy ways you can manage your emotions in this episode.

Danielle and Karolina sit down during their staycation to reflect on 2020, both the burdens and the gifts. We realized that this past year helped us strip away the things that didn’t matter and hone in on the things that do. More self-growth, more time with our loved ones, more community-serving. Less perfectionism, less worrying about what other people think, less petty fears.

We also look to 2021 and bringing what matters into the new year. Big audacious goals for the next year, playing big, and reaching for the dreams our souls are calling us toward.

We hope that 2021 is your year to let go of what no longer serves you and step into your fullest potential.

Episode 43: Redefining Sobriety with Caitlin Padgett Jun 11, 2020

It never occurred to me to ditch booze completely. It was only through experiencing the most profound break that I decided to never go back. When I was first questioning my relationship with booze, I wanted to get more mindful and was so glad when I found Caitlin Padgett. Her gospel is that you can make changes to your relationship with alcohol on your own terms and invite in more awareness no matter where you are. Her focus on feeling your feelings, articulating your needs, and self-parenting yourself help you reconnect back with you.

Caitlin is the author of Drink Less Be More: How to have a great night (and life) without getting wasted and transformational coach for successful women who struggle with alcohol. When she was about 29 years old, her work-hard / play-hard lifestyle started taking its toll. Thirsty for alternatives to mainstream treatment, she combined her background in psychology, nutrition, fitness, harm reduction and holistic health to craft an unconventional approach called Redefining Sobriety.

Today she’s on Euphoric the Podcast sharing:

Why unmet needs drive you to drink
How to find compassion for yourself
How to use autonomy for your benefit
How to honor how you want to feel

Karolina sits down with Meg Johnson from Kansas City to talk about how much FUN an alcohol-free life really is.

Step back to the holidays of 2018. Meg was overweight, overdrinking, and fell into a pessimistic complaining attitude. One day she looked into the mirror and didn't recognize herself anymore. That moment catapulted a new resolve.

Today Meg is a vibrant and radiant inspiration! She's been alcohol-free for over a year and realizes how much more fun she can have without the baggage booze brings.

Episode 35: Uncovering Your Real Gifts with Bri McCorkell Feb 12, 2020

What if alcohol was clouding up your ability to share a magnificent gift with the world? Today I sit down with Bri McCorkell, a life coach and spiritual teacher for moms, who stopped drinking on her path towards a greater awakening. Bri has three children and we talk about how hard motherhood can be and how easy it is to quell that isolation and pain with a drink. But deep down, we are way more powerful than we realize, and there is no true way to know your power and capability without letting go of the thing that makes you play small. Everyone has a gift and a unique ability to make a difference in the world. Yet, deep down, we’re terrified of what we’re really called to do, and so turn to alcohol to cope and numb out. As Bri says, “if the people with the greatest gifts would stop numbing out, the world would be transformed.”

Episode 28: Soberminded Faith with Jenn Kautsch Nov 06, 2019

Jenn Kautsch’s story is fascinating. Unlike many of us, Jenn didn’t drink in her teenage years or 20s. In fact, she didn’t really pick up drinking until she was a mom and well into her career in her mid-30s. Her drinking mirrors a phenomenon in history—consumption levels were lower for women in the 80s and 90s and then starkly rose in the 2000s as the drinking culture changed. Fifteen years later, she feels stuck in the American rat race, drink, hangover, repeat. Even though she eats healthy, works out, and is committed to building her relationship with God, Jenn feels like she is living two different lives. Until everything changed when she focused on becoming sober-minded. Listen in to learn how to resolve incongruency in your life, how faith can strengthen your why, and why being present and aware with the right tools can change your life.

Today Jenn is an incredible teacher in the alcohol-free community and builds transformations through the power of sisterhood.

Sober living is a best kept secret and opens the doors to so much happiness, intentionality, and grace in your life. But with so much stigma and preconceived assumptions, not drinking alcohol in our society is rare and questionable. It can be hard to tell people about a positive life change without well-meaning individuals drilling into the negative. Today Danielle and Karolina explore their best strategies for telling family, friends and even acquaintances that they’ve quit drinking and how to take the power back of such a life affirming lifestyle change. Having a complicated relationship with booze is normal. Quitting drinking and living your best life? That sets you apart as a rockstar, not a walking stigma.

Episode 20: Sober Summer Jul 16, 2019

Danielle and Karolina talk about all the things they are excited for during the summer--movies in the park, camping, trips, and pool days--and all the ways summer is so much better alcohol-free. Without a depressant in our systems, we feel young again and capture the same spirit of summer we used to feel as children. Forget everything the clever marketing ads want you to believe, that summer equals rosé on the patio and beers at the barbecue. It all sounds romantic but we know it's not. It's an illusion. Because how does it always play out? Day drinking always made us feel gross, bloated and never knowing which way the night would play out. Would we go to bed early because we have headaches or continue the party and wake up feeling ashamed and regretful?

Turn your assumptions on their heads because summer is the most fun time to be sober. This is the life of doing more, not less.

Episode 19: Gray-Area Drinking Jul 03, 2019

So what the heck is gray-area drinking and what does it mean to go alcohol-free today? More and more people are quitting not because they have a “drinking problem” but because they have a problem with drinking. Gray-area drinking is the space between the extremes, between a totally healthy and moderate relationship to alcohol (you know, like no more than one drink per day), and the rock-bottom handle-of-vodka kind of drinking we associate with “alcoholism.” It’s the space that most drinkers live in and it can be pretty confusing.

A lot of gray-area drinkers are pretty keen on living a healthy and active lifestyle. Their drinking is pretty normal for their social circle. They drink at appropriate times, and may not exude the classical symptoms of addiction. But that doesn’t mean that alcohol is serving them and making them feel fulfilled. Why do former gray-area drinkers become 1000% happier going sober? When you challenge yourself to go beyond your comfort zone, you discover what really makes you happy and align your life to more joy, freedom, and creativity.

I am beyond thrilled to have this guest on the Euphoric podcast. Not only is Andy Ramage my hero, he was one of the key people who shifted how I viewed alcohol and allowed me to see how limitless life can be without it. Andy is the co-founder of One Year No Beer, a global movement to transform people’s relationships with alcohol by taking a break from drinking and discovering how incredible life is without it. Andy takes things to the next level and optimizes his life for peak performance. He proves that quitting alcohol can make you healthier, happier, more motivated and productive and let’s you go for all your dreams (seems like we have a similar goal).

Case in point, he’s written two books, one called the 28 Day Alcohol-Free Challenge and another one on motivation coming soon, gotten a Master’s degree in positive psychology, started a business that has helped over 25,000 people, and is actively challenging the status quo that we have to drink to fit in on TV, popular podcasts and TEDx.

Tune in to our conversation to learn more about his story, how he became an expert on behavioral change, what his morning routine looks like, and the top books to read to change your life.

According to Andy, the single best thing you could do to improve your life? Quit drinking alcohol.

Episode 17: Digital Minimalism: Finding Balance in a Plugged-In World Jun 04, 2019

Social media is THE place to find a community of sober folks—it’s literally how Euphoric the Podcast was born and shared. But Danielle and Karolina suspect that constantly checking your phone for new updates is pretty similar to the same dopamine manipulation that goes on with drinking. It’s not easy to sit with your thoughts and engage with the people around you, and we constantly want to reach for things outside of us to distract us. But it is fulfilling. And Euphoric is all about incorporating more of what makes you happy and less of the stuff that drains you.

In today’s episode, learn what boundaries around social media and technology the hosts set up to feel more productive and present, why Karolina won’t check her phone in the morning or evening, and why there’s nothing worse than scrolling your phone while watching TV.

Find your own balance with a digital minimalistic approach and get the best of both worlds, a thriving online community and support, and time and space to do the activities that really fulfill you.

Episode 15: Recovering Your Creativity May 07, 2019

Today we talk about how much drinking can stifle creativity and what to expect once you stop. We mean creativity as so much more than the fine arts, but creating or building anything that did not exist before. We both find that it takes vulnerability and honesty to be creative but also tenacity and perseverance. (Something the drinking versions of us sorely lacked). Listen in on how to recover your creativity and the multiple projects we've attempted, from refurnishing furniture to writing a book.

Episode 11: Losing the Weight Mar 12, 2019

This episode is a whodunnit - who made me gain all this weight?! Here's a clue: it was alcohol, in the kitchen, with the wine glass. Danielle and Karolina delve a little deeper into body image, weight loss/gain journeys, dieting and all the other fun things that float to the surface when you take alcohol out of the equation. Listen in as Karolina talks about going from "ballerina" to "bloated walrus" and Danielle discusses her journey with disordered eating and fad diets, and hear what it was like for them to finally realize alcohol was the main calorie culprit all along! Only to find acceptance and realized health without it.

Episode 10: Exercise Feb 26, 2019

Danielle and I talk about the role of exercise in our alcohol-free lives. In the past, working out was something we felt we "should" do and a way we subconsciously offset our drinking. Now instead of "shoulding" ourselves, we gravitate towards exercise because it brings mental clarity and helps build our confidence in reaching other goals. Listening to our bodies and doing what feels natural surprisingly led us to run a half marathon and do early morning high intensity workout classes, amidst gentler activities like walking, yoga, and hikes.

Episode 7: Turning One Jan 15, 2019

What's it like to celebrate your one-year soberversary? Danielle kicks off this episode with her reflections on turning one and intentions for the year ahead, with Karolina's soberversary quickly approaching. Instead of avoiding things that are hard, we embrace the challenge. When your mind isn't trained to look for instant gratification and short-lived rewards (booze), it actually reaches for higher goals and looks for long-term contentment. You discover who you truly are and what you actually like.

We were joined by Danielle's dogs, Heidi and Murphy, to celebrate the festivities!

Karolina and Danielle are so excited to have Dawn Comolly on the podcast this week. Dawn is the creator of Sober Fish, a site that empowers people towards an alcohol-free lifestyle with incredible stories of transformation. Dawn started her journey when she realized her party lifestyle was making her sick, tired, and miserable. She embarked on a one-year experiment to quit booze and cigarettes and documented her entire journey online. Six months in, she realized she was never going back to hangovers and regret again. We talk about her story, what it's like to go sober in the UK, and her reinvention as a happier and more radiant Dawn.

Episode 5: Problem with Labels Dec 19, 2018

Danielle and Karolina discuss the "a" word and why labels can be so problematic. Trying to figure out if their drinking was normal or a serious problem kept both of them stuck. Fear of being labeled distanced their desire to change, afraid that quitting would mark them forever. Everyone should be allowed to make healthy lifestyle choices without fear. Likewise everyone should get the freedom to define themselves how they wish, whether it's alcoholic or not.

Episode 4: Mindset Shifts Dec 05, 2018

Karolina and Danielle discuss the books and resources they used to shift their mindset around drinking, going from a routine habit to seeing absolutely no benefit in alcohol.

If alcohol doesn’t make you ultimately happy, you don’t have to drink. Quitting alcohol, or taking a break, doesn’t signal to society that you are defect or have a problem or have to label yourself an alcoholic. You don’t ever have to identify with certain terms or words.

Everyone’s path to an alcohol-free lifestyle is unique. It’s allowed to be unique. Your own inner guide will lead you to ultimate success. Whether that be books, meetings, social media groups, etc. Danielle and Karolina discuss what worked for them.

Episode 3: Vacations and Big Events Nov 14, 2018

One of the harder myths around alcohol to debunk is that it's vital to a fun vacation or lively wedding. How often did we say we couldn't take a break, because of this upcoming trip or birthday party?

Danielle and Karolina share their paradigm shifts on their first alcohol-free vacations: full of magic, wonder and appreciation that alcohol would have just numbed and dulled.

Episode 2: Power of Community Oct 31, 2018

Returning from a group brunch, Danielle and Karolina are abuzz after connecting with other women over their alcohol-free journeys. Danielle created a meetup for women who are doing the whole sober thing and wanted a space to meet new friends and connect deeply without the typically mimosa-laden brunch.

Community inspires both Danielle and Karolina to reach higher than their self-limiting beliefs and has been so key to their journeys.

Discussing the SHE Recovers conference and Nothing Good Can Come From This book club events, they both find that connecting with others is vital to euphoric living.
