    Episode 249: How a Health Scare and a Loss Can Turn You Into the Most Badass Version of Yourself with Melissa McGovern

    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!

     

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • Melissa’s journey from alcohol dependence to discovering a vibrant, purpose-driven life, from not knowing what a limiting belief was to becoming a “limiting belief sleuth”
    • How quitting drinking drastically reduced Melissa’s cholesterol and A1C levels
    • The wake-up call and heartbreaking loss of Melissa’s friend, who was struggling with alcohol abuse and how his loss fueled a deep purpose within Melissa 
    • The difference the physical changes made to Melissa’s mental health (and the techniques she used to get in touch with the confident version of herself she used to be!)

    Episode 248: Finding Time for Wellness for High-Achieving Women with Megan Swan

    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

    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

    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!

     

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • Drawing strength from our ancestors' survival stories to fuel our journeys and how seizing modern opportunities is a tribute to those who paved the way
    • Karolina’s ancestors in Poland during World Wars I & II, and what her parents went through to emigrate to the U.S. from Poland after the fall of communism
    • The role of subconscious programming in determining our beliefs about what is possible based on the realities we see as children and young adults
    • The goals that have gatekeepers and the goals that don’t, and why it’s safer to bet on ourselves than an employer
    • The possibilities that exist when we’ve stepped into our power and purpose: the energy we feel, and the spillover into all areas of our lives

    Episode 245: I Almost Lost $1 Million Dollars

    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.

     

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • How a lack of confidence almost cost Karolina over $1 million, and why stepping into your bravery can lead to unimaginable success
    • How to get over your fear of looking cringe
    • Karolina was a life-long underearner, until she wasn’t. Learn how Karolina shifted her mindset from under-earning to building a thriving coaching business and how you can reprogram your brain for unstoppable success
    • The explosive growth of the alcohol-free movement and why it's never too late to join in, reinvent your relationship with alcohol, and lead a more fulfilling and profitable life
    • The fear wrapped up in standing in our authenticity for fear of being made fun of for following our dreams

    Episode 244: The Profundity of Helping Someone Change Their Relationship to Alcohol

    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.

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • The underrecognized health dangers of alcohol, from heart disease to brain damage, and why many of these aren't correctly attributed to alcohol consumption
    • Similarities between alcohol and cigarette marketing, targeting youth to create lifelong customers
    • Shocking stats about alcohol, including: 60% of people over-drink; 52% want to drink less; and 88% are metabolically unhealthy
    • How addressing alcohol issues can trigger a cascade of positive transformations in health, career satisfaction, and overall life purpose
    • Incredible stories of impact and transformation and how to be part of this grassroots movement with Karolina!

    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

    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.

    • The #1 expense associated with an online business – and why it’s the most worthwhile investment
    • Employee mindsets vs. entrepreneurial mindsets (and the benefits of having skin in the game vs. hanging out in your comfort zone for too long)
    • Karolina’s favorite practical tips for embracing fear and how to bounce back after setbacks

    Episode 239: What I Wish I Knew When Starting My Business Part 1

    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!

    • 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
    • Why you have to 100% believe in yourself and have conviction, without wavering for a second on your vision
    • The “burning the boats” mentality and how making a decisive commitment to your purpose can propel your success!
