Life is bigger and happier alcohol-free. Euphoric the Podcast explores the benefits of life sans booze, the role of alcohol in our society, and what we wish our past drinking selves knew.
Imagine going to a routine physical and walking away with life-changing news. How would you respond? How quickly would you implement change to radically transform your health?
After losing a dear friend who was alcohol dependent, Melissa McGovern fell into some unhealthy patterns, drinking and indulging in comfort foods. Then everything changed in August 2023.
Her blood work showed high liver enzymes. High cholesterol. High blood pressure. Her doctor was very concerned. She knew she had to make a change, and FAST.
After that doctor’s visit, Melissa quit drinking and changed her diet, losing a staggering 30 pounds in just 3 months. And now at age 53, she’s an alcohol-free coach, an alum of Karolina’s Empowered AF Coach Certification program, and she is SLAYING.
This episode is so moving, and Melissa’s incredible transformation in such a short time is truly astounding. Get your tissues ready!

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.

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.

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.
It’s a new world out there! The kind of reality our mothers, grandmothers, and even Karolina’s ancestors in Poland fought for. So here’s an important question for you:
Are you going to honor your ancestors’ sacrifices and follow your big, bold dreams?
If quitting your 9-to-5 sounds overwhelming, it might be that you haven’t fully stepped into your power and purpose.
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!

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.

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.

Sometimes going alcohol-free can bring up some uncomfortable emotions.
This is the situation today’s guest, Didi Jordan, found herself in during her third month of not drinking. With alcohol no longer there to mask her insecurities, Didi found herself having to sit with all kinds of personal anxieties, from aging to body image.
But, as she can attest now, this is where the magic happens. When we sit with those uncomfortable emotions: that’s when we find emotional freedom and unlock our potential.
Didi is an alum of the Become Emboldened and Empowered AF Coaching Certification programs which helped her go from starting from scratch to now a global brand that has popularized the concept of a sober chapter, which has inspired her business, podcast, and her soon-to-be book.
If you love spirituality and are into signs and serendipities, then this episode is for you. There’s something about having somebody on the podcast who’s been through the whole process of going alcohol-free and discovering her deeper purpose.

Imagine attending a party where you could step into the shoes of your future self.
At this party, you would have already experienced the success you dream of: you’d have written the bestseller, started the uber-successful business, and booked the all-star clients. You’d perform the role in costume with props and conviction.
This kind of party was one of the highlights of the recent Empowered AF 5X Certification program retreat in Palm Springs. It was a weekend Karolina will never forget, and in this episode, she talks about the highlights – and how to take part yourself.
To some people, this kind of party might seem silly – or even crazy! – but performing this act among people who believe it’s possible for you can help you visualize these plans and make them feel not only attainable, but absolute.
If you want to join this type of next-level community filled with people who believe in you, apply for the "Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program" – which includes FIVE certifications in different modalities, an all-expenses paid weekend retreat, and a four-month business mastermind.

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.

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!
