We are made for more than just drinking, and today, Karolina is opening up about the power of discovering and owning your worth - from allowing yourself the gift of symbolic upgrades, to reimagining your money mindset.

Wherever you are on your alcohol-free journey, Karolina wants you to know with confidence that this podcast is here for YOU, and together, we’ll dig beneath the surface so you can heal, listen to your intuition, and become the most emboldened version of yourself.

Tune in to learn about a powerful $15 shift Karolina made in her own life and what’s in store as we enter this next inspiring chapter of Euphoric The Podcast, version 2.0.

I hope you’re ready, beautiful!

Beyond the surface.

Euphoric The Podcast was created out of a shared desire to empower women in ditching alcohol. My good friend Danielle and I launched our first episode all the way back in 2018, sharing tips and strategies for changing your mindset, navigating society, and supporting yourself at the beginning of your alcohol-free journey. Through it all, I've come to solidify my deep beliefs around what it really means symbolically to remove alcohol from your life.

Being alcohol-free is NOT just about the act of ditching alcohol.

While on my own alcohol-free journey, I realized that quitting this beverage was just one part. I also discovered confidence in my new alcohol-free identity. And this “new me” is so authentic to who I truly am.

That confidence we build through navigating and affirming an alcohol-free identity spills into so many other areas of our lives. Possibilities open up that you never even thought were options. There’s often even this searching phase where you start asking, “what am I supposed to do now? What is my purpose?”

Hint: If we find ourselves stuck in a relationship with alcohol, and stuck in a career or stressful job, feeling bored or overwhelmed, then we're probably not living our purpose.

It's been the greatest pleasure for me to work with women in my program, Become Emboldened, both affirming this confident, alcohol-free identity, AND asking deeper questions.

What do I really enjoy?
What am I passionate about?
What Have I gone through that can help others?

I’m so excited to lean into even richer and more soulful concepts with this podcast. When you let go of something that no longer serves you, you open the door for something so much greater in your life.

If you're brand new on your alcohol-free journey, taking a break, or even just questioning your relationship with alcohol, Euphoric the Podcast will still continue to have beautiful conversations about being an alcohol-free rebel, how to adopt an alcohol-free mindset, and how to see where you're holding yourself back. AND we’ll be going beyond the surface!

Ditch alcohol and choose your worth.

Learning to value your worth is one of the most beautiful things we can work on, and it has captivated me ever since I started my alcohol-free journey.

My journey has been filled with endless small shifts. I look back now with so much gratitude for how I prioritized this work in my life. It might be a silly example, but for so long I used to use the grossest pens for writing. One day I decided to upgrade to nice metal ones. This small shift was about more than a writing utensil. It was about choosing my worth and valuing my dream to be a writer.

We have complicated relationships with alcohol in our society, and we also have complicated relationships with money. I believe these are inextricably tied. We're conditioned to believe spending money on alcohol is acceptable, even necessary, while investing in ourselves is the opposite.

Making these little symbolic upgrades, like a new pen, reflect a choice to challenge these learned beliefs around alcohol and money, for the sake of our own value. As you continue to choose yourself and your dreams more and more, you start believing in your worth.

This reclaiming of your value is one of the beautiful outcomes of changing your relationship with alcohol. Whether you’re working with a coach or in a group program or in other personal development ways, the result of ditching alcohol is stepping into your bigger potential, stepping into who you're truly meant to be.

I’m so excited to be bringing other entrepreneurs, authors, and coaches as guests to really share how they've been able to live a freedom lifestyle. I want you to fully believe that you can do whatever you want to.

Beyond the surface.

We are so socialized into thinking whatever we see around us is normal. So if we don't see anything outside of that pattern, we often don't think it's possible.

Throughout my alcohol-free journey, I realized I was using my unfulfilling 9-5 job as a reason to drink on the weekend, feel terrible come Monday morning, and then do it all over again. I was living in the belief that this was all I could expect from life.

Then when I took this break from alcohol, I started gaining confidence. I never thought I could launch a business, sell things on the internet, or write a book, but through taking back my power, I was able to challenge my doubts and go after these dreams.

I want to help you have that same experience whether you are contemplating taking a break, are actively on a break from alcohol, or are navigating a new alcohol-free identity in the world. Whether your journey is leading to bigger questions about your life, your career, your purpose, or if you’re already in your dream career, and want to grow even more, in all of these stages, I want to support and empower you!

I want Euphoric to be a home for everyone, a safe space for anyone on any part of their journey. Less about the strategic and nitty gritty and more focused on listening to your intuition and healing and discovering yourself in a brand new way. I want to help you become the most emboldened, beautiful, version of you.

We’re always growing, and whatever that next stage of growth looks like for you, I hope this show can inspire you, motivate you and give you the next steps forward into your beautiful growth journey.

“Valuing your worth is something that I think I will be on a lifelong journey with. I can't see an endpoint. I can't see someplace where I will one day just arrive. And it's something that has captivated me ever since I started this journey to go alcohol-free.” Karolina Rzadkowolska
