Karolina Rzadkowolska on Why Ditching Alcohol Improves Self-Motivation, Self-Belief, and Encourages the Entrepreneurial Spirit

In this episode I’m sitting down with Karolina Rzadkowolska who is the best-selling author of Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You. She’s also the owner of Euphoric AF a consulting & speaking company and also podcast host. Karolina shares her journey of writing a book and starting a business after giving up alcohol for dry January. What she came to realize is that alcohol numbed her emotions and prevented her from pursuing her dreams. By taking a break from alcohol, she was able to reconnect with her passions and build a successful career. Our conversation highlights what I’ve been thinking forever, that we as a society need to break free from from the societal lies around work and success, and to embrace creating a career that aligns with one's passions and values. Karolina emphasizes the importance of sitting with negative emotions and using them as a motivator for personal growth. Not only will you be a happier individual but it’s the catalyst to a positive feedback loop that unlocks fulfillment, greater career opportunities and so much more. Karolina articulates intuition and how to live life in fulfillment in a way that I have been trying to for such a long time. This is probably one of the most important episodes I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. I’m also asking Karolina to get deep on her experience from writing a book to building a successful business. She’s an unusual guest for me because she got a traditional publishing gig with Harper Collins, but she also built a business around her book simultaneously. I think she’s a genius for capitalizing on her book in this way and all authors need to hear this. 86% of Americans want to write a book, so I know some of you out there listening have this dream, so this is an episode you will not want to miss. I cannot WAIT to get into this chat, it’s definitely one of my new favorites, and if you’re growth oriented, I think this episode will make you feel SO seen. So, I’m going to stop talking so we can get into it. Connect with Karolina: www.euphoricbook.com www.euphoricaf.com www.instagram.com/euphoric.af Connect with Maddie
