Episode 188: Following Our Passions, Traveling the World, and How I’m Living the Life I used to Dream Of

When we remove alcohol, there’s more room for passion.

Not necessarily romantic passion – though that’s amazing too – but passion for what you do. If you don’t feel passion for what you do, do you believe there’s a reality in which you WOULD feel passion for what you do?

Today, Karolina offers a fascinating update on what’s been happening behind the scenes of this podcast, from traveling all over the world to empowering women through coaching and mastermind retreats. She used to work in a cubicle, wishing for the opportunity to travel and to have more autonomy in her day-to-day life – and now, she has both.

Going alcohol-free was the catalyst for her to do some soul-searching and realize what she truly wanted out of life. You can have that too. Keep asking yourself: what do you want out of life? What’s standing in your way? And how do you move past that?

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Tony Robbins has the saying, ask better questions. If we tell ourselves something is impossible, then the brain won’t keep searching for a solution. Instead, ask: how could I make that work?

What feels impossible to you? And what are some ways you could overcome the obstacles in the way?

It might involve thinking outside the box!

“I know the word ‘business’ can sound sometimes intimidating. People are just like, ‘Oh, that's not me, I don't want to have a business.’ But I think it's so powerful to create something. It's so powerful to feel like you have that autonomy and that impact, and that you really have a place to express yourself. To share the things that you've learned that you're passionate about. And I think that that's really, really fulfilling – especially when it helps other people.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“We have to recognize that alcohol is often used as a way to mask boredom and stress. Both extremes. When we remove alcohol and we want to create a sustainable alcohol-free life, we want to make sure that we are feeling passion on a daily basis. I don't necessarily mean romantic passion – though, that would be amazing as well – but passion for what you do. If you don't feel passion for what you do, do you believe that a solution is out there? Do you believe there's another way? Do you believe there is a reality that exists in which you would feel passionate about what you do?” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
