“Knowing that you're helping someone and that you're there for someone, that you're present and listening to someone, it feels so freakin’ good. Coaching is the most fulfilling work I've ever done in my life.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“What's so amazing about having your own coaching business is that you set the terms. You decide when you're going to work. You decide what projects you're going to do. You decide how to express your creativity. You decide from where you're going to work in the world. Your business gets to be whatever you want it to be!” -Karolina Rzadkowolsk

“I really, truly believe if you've changed your relationship with alcohol, if you have the heart, the experiences, the wisdom, and the empathy, you have all it takes to be an incredible coach.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
