Happiness Journey with Dr Dan podcast: Season 4 Ep 1: Special guest, author and Alcohol-free coach: Karolina Rzadkowolska

Do you ever feel that alcohol is the one big incongruency in an otherwise generally healthy lifestyle? Karolina Rzadkowolska was a social over-drinker who felt like alcohol was holding her back from the health and happiness she desired. When she took a break, everything changed and she fell in love with a new way of living. Today she is a certified alcohol-free life coach who helps powerful women make alcohol insignificant in their lives. She’s worked with thousands of clients through her online courses and coaching to change their drinking habit and unleash a new level of health, happiness, and potential to go after their biggest dreams. Her book Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You (HarperCollins) is out on bookshelves now. She shares how many people today are re-evaluating the role of alcohol in their life and finding empowerment in an alcohol-free lifestyle. Taking a look at some of the common reasons why someone drinks, her book helps dispel assumptions around alcohol and shows you the life-changing benefits of taking a break. For example, does alcohol really relax you? Or does it leave behind more stress hormones in your body? Does alcohol make you more confident or insecure over time? These questions and more, like how to deal with your social circle, or the motivation to make a change are topics we explore. She’s the host of Euphoric the Podcast, founder of Euphoric Alcohol-Free, and her work has been featured in the Huffington Post, Popsugar, Authority Magazine, Greatist, and multiple TV shows. Karolina’s passionate about helping you discover what really makes you happy outside of a beverage and design a life you love. She would love to hear from you at www.euphoricaf.com.
