Have you ever been held back by beliefs around alcohol being “glamorous” and “sophisticated?”
Today’s guest is Martha Wright, an insider who used to work for the Food Network and who was in the wine industry (with her own winery!) for more than 20 years. Martha also happens to live part-time in Paris, France.
So, Martha is the perfect person for Karolina to discuss wine and French drinking culture with. Do the French ACTUALLY moderate? Or is it just a fallacy? They talk about the cultural elements that give alcohol its glamorous reputation; the joy and play of sensory experiences; and the different ways to gather and offer radical hospitality sans alcohol.
Martha says the non-alcoholic drink industry is only going to get better as more and more wineries begin offering more and more non-alcoholic options.
It’s Thanksgiving week, and hopefully, this episode inspires you to ask yourself: how can I invoke my own sense of play? How can I bring more sensory delight to my daily life without overindulging in food and alcohol?
IN THIS EPISODE:
Martha’s journey from wine aficionado to alcohol-free advocate: what sparked her transformation and how she redefined her identity beyond the bottle Busting the myth of the "French paradox" – the romanticized narrative of French moderation and what it truly means for alcohol consumption and well-being Martha’s decision to not “retreat” on all the things that often come along with alcohol – gatherings, celebrations, sensory experiences – but double-down on it Creative tips for hosting unforgettable gatherings that foster deep connections and fun sans alcohol and what she sees for the future of the AF industry Martha’s secret to making life’s pleasures even more delightful and immersive without alcoholLINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED

Going alcohol-free was one of the most empowering things Jen Hirst has ever done – and now, she’s an icon in the alcohol-free industry. But you might not know where she started and the lows she experienced before turning her life around.
Alcohol abuse led Jen to lose her job, her car, and almost her marriage. In her darkest moments, she found herself drinking mouthwash, blacking out, and blowing a .34 on the BAC scale.
Her conversation with Karolina reveals not only her decision to go alcohol-free after years of struggling with drinking, but why she kept it a secret before ultimately launching her empire.
Today, Jen is the founder of Lighthouse Sobriety, which marries fitness and daily habits to help women go alcohol-free. She is also an alum of Karolina’s Empowered AF Coach Certification program.
Jen is the definition of a true trailblazer in the alcohol-free industry and a beacon of hope for those struggling with alcohol. Here, she shares the habits that spurred her personal growth and made all the difference for her and her clients, helping them remain resilient and become excited about the life before them.
IN THIS EPISODE:
How Jen transitioned from a "closet alcoholic" – who at her lowest found herself drinking mouthwash and rubbing alcohol – to celebrating over 11 years alcohol-free The life-changing decision to go public with her sobriety and become a sober coach – and the realization that sobriety is something to be incredibly proud of Jen’s approach to help clients create new habits, including the daily 5 that she credits with much of her success. The power of consistency and connecting with your bigger “why” – plus, Jen’s visualization that changed her lifeLINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED

Have you ever wanted to go after something but your ego told you it was too late?
Well, that ego of yours was wrong. It is never too late, and you’re never too old! That is just a BS story you’ve been telling yourself, and today’s guest, Rebecca Guevara-Wingler, stands as proof that you have permission.
After a long corporate career, Rebecca became an artist in her 50s. In her 60s, she became a healing facilitator. Now, she leads retreats around the world, helping people experience healing and spiritual depth through the lens of art.
And the best part? Becoming alcohol-free was the secret ingredient that opened the floodgates to her truest self.
We’re so creative when we’re children, dabbling in beautiful creative expressions – only to zip it up in adulthood. Like lots of people, Rebecca’s art fell to the wayside while raising and providing for her family. Tapping back into her creative self unlocked parts of her she didn’t even know existed.
In this episode, Rebecca shares profound insights on overcoming self-imposed limitations, debunking myths like alcohol-fueled creativity, and finding inspiration in spirituality and nature.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Rebecca’s breakthrough to artistry in her 50s – emphasizing that it’s never too late to shift from your corporate career and follow your dreams Why alcohol blocks creativity and spiritual connection, contrary to the romanticized notion of the “suffering artist” Tapping into true self-expression using Rebecca’s transformative "Color Language of the Soul" techniques to unleash emotions and connect with your essence Rebecca’s retreat sneak peek: a transformative, substance-free retreat with art, yoga, cultural immersion, and self-expression in GuatemalaLINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED

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!

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.

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 nowLINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED:

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?

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.

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.

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.

In honor of dry July, Karolina is debunking the most common myths and objections about going alcohol-free.
What if everything you believed about "normal drinking" was a lie?
Society puts "normal drinking" on a pedestal: the cultured person who enjoys just one glass of wine over a nice dinner. But is this achievable or even desirable?
It turns out that 60% of regular drinkers overdrink, and it's also been proven that 40% to 50% of our drinking is underreported.
And drinking doesn’t feel good - would you rather be someone who drinks normally and never gets the wake up call? Or would you rather be a person who gets the negative consequence, reevaluates alcohol, and wakes up to the life you were really supposed to live?
When you join Karolina’s 22-day Dry Bootcamp, you’ll learn how to relax and have fun without alcohol, build a sustainable, alcohol-free lifestyle, and discover your deeper why. Plus, you’ll get all the guides, rituals, and meditations to help you connect to your higher self. We start August 6th. Sign up for just $59!
IN THIS EPISODE:Why "normal drinking" is actually a myth and why what society views as normal is often an unhealthy illusion
The majority of people underreport their alcohol consumption by 40% to 50% (!), plus, what this means for your perceptions of "moderate" drinking
How intuition and listening to your body’s signals will shift you into greater confidence, courage, and purpose
The REAL impact of even a single drink on your body (think disrupted sleep cycles and metabolic changes!)
A sneak peek into Karolina’s 22-day Dry Bootcamp, which starts August 6th. Break free from alcohol and align with your highest self.
