The kind of woman who says “YES!” to a retreat in Paris has already decided she's a big deal. And as you listen to this episode, I'm hosting Euphoric's first-ever Thought Leader Mastermind there, a city pulsing with history, romance, and magic. In this episode, I want to catch you up on what I have planned for this summer and beyond, both for myself and for Euphoric. (BTW, I'm sharing my entire European trip on Instagram. Check it out if you crave beaches, delicious food, and that vintage European vibe.) While I love online transformation and Zoom rooms, nothing beats in-person experiences. Flying across the world for personal growth does something remarkable for your nervous system. It isn't just inspiring - it expands your identity.  It's why I strive to include in-person components to my major programs, from the Empowered AF Coach Certification program (which starts this fall!) to this very mastermind.  Let this be your invitation to make bold moves before you think you're ready. Lean into the summer season, savor its energy, invest in yourself, and keep saying YES to the next version of you.   IN THIS EPISODE: How claiming the “thought leader” identity catapulted me to 6-figure breakthroughs, best-selling authorship, and unforgettable client transformations  What we cover in the Thought Leader Mastermind, from booking high-level speaking gigs, to how I wrote my book All the amazing things my clients are doing, from hosting VIP weekends in France to business masterminds in South Africa My dreamy summer across Europe: Rome to the Amalfi Coast, Slovenia, and Poland, and how deep rest and rich culture fuel my deep work Details on the next Thought Leader Mastermind (with keynote speaking workshops in LA!) and how in-person experiences skyrocket your confidence, identity, and career   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Thought Leader Mastermind is now accepting applications for the next round.

Are you ready to plan your most uninhibited, soul-lit summer yet? Summer can be one of the hardest seasons to be alcohol-free, and I get it: summer is when we want to feel freedom and wildness, and we've been programmed to think that alcohol is the path to get there. But, as you can probably guess, this couldn't be further from the truth.

Have you ever found yourself wondering if you actually need rest … or if you're just being lazy? Modern culture tells us to hustle, hustle, hustle, but there's a wave of “soft girl” healing and self-compassion talk in the air, too. How do you find the balance between these two paradoxes of speeding up and slowing down? And how do you know when it's time to deeply nourish yourself vs. when is it time to GO?! I call the limbo of neither deeply resting nor deeply pursuing your purpose “the drift,” a phrase I've taken from Napoleon Hill's amazing book, Outwitting the Devil. It's something I have to work through and negotiate all the time.  In this episode, I unpack the truth behind the drift, including what's REALLY causing your resistance to push forward (which is probably due to fear, not lack of discipline). I also offer my go-to tips for getting real rest so when it's time to get back to work, you're nourished and ready. P.S.

What if wealth wasn't a number in your bank account, but an emotion you could embody right now? I'm giving you a behind the scenes look at my evolving relationship with money and sharing the unexpected truths I've uncovered about what it really means to feel wealthy. For years, I chased the numbers, the income goals, and the business milestones. And yet, I still didn't feel wealthy. Spoiler alert: It's not about the 6-figure milestones or some dream income goal. It's about what wealth symbolizes for you: freedom, peace, safety, self-worth, and how to unlock that feeling.  Because wealth isn't a reflection of how much money you actually have. There are people who feel abundant with $5,000, and there are people who feel scarcity with $1 million. Why is that? If you've ever felt like you're “doing everything right” financially but still feel stuck, anxious, or behind, this episode will meet you right where you are and challenge you to redefine what wealth really means for you. This is one of the many topics we'll go deep on inside of Euphoric the Club, my brand-new membership for successful, alcohol-free women. Join me and other high-achieving women for $59 per month!   IN THIS EPISODE: The radical way to feel rich right now, no matter what's in your wallet (and how to interrupt your scarcity loop) Why wealth is less about digits on a screen and more about self-worth, freedom, and giving yourself permission to take up space The inside scoop on Euphoric the Club, where emotional wealth, community, and somatic rituals combine to help you embody abundance every single day What would you do differently in your morning routine if you had $10 million in the bank?

Have you ever heard someone say, “Only people with a problem with alcohol stop drinking” or “Life without wine is so boring”? Yeah. Me too. The truth is, there are a lot of flat-out lies floating around about what sobriety is really like—and if you've been scared to take a break from drinking, chances are you've believed at least one of them. I know I did. But here's the truth: most of the stories we tell ourselves about what life without alcohol would look like... they're just that. Stories. Myths. Outdated assumptions passed down by a drinking culture that tells us wine is self-care and tequila is confidence in a bottle. In this week's episode of The Hello Someday Podcast, I'm joined by Karolina Rzadkowolska—certified alcohol-free life coach and author of Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You—to call B.S. on 10 of the most common myths about sobriety.

When Alisa Cooper lost her husband unexpectedly on a dream trip abroad, her entire world cracked open.  In this powerful episode, Alisa shares how she transformed unimaginable grief into the catalyst for becoming the most alive, aligned, and authentic version of herself.

Optimizing sleep is something I've worked hard at, and now I've cracked the code to get high-quality rest almost every night.

This is the second installment of a two-part episode detailing the deeply personal and divine lessons I've learned since my husband and I started trying to conceive.  In Part 1, I laid the groundwork of our story, including how it began and why we moved away from conventional medicine to a more holistic approach. In Part 2 of this vulnerable two-part series, I'm sharing the next layer of raw and divine wisdom I've uncovered through 2.5 years of trying to conceive. From the outside, it may look like a fertility story… but at its core, it's about self-worth, intuition, healing, and radically redefining what it means to care for yourself. Over the past 2.5 years, we've done it all: from medical testing and major dietary changes to detox protocols, sauna therapy, and even switching the kind of water we drink. At one point, we were actually drinking psyllium husk everyday. It was disgusting.  We have invested so much money, time, and energy into our dreams to become parents. And at times, it's easy to wonder: is this actually going to work? Do I even deserve to care for myself in such a fundamental way?  Of course, the goal is to have a baby. But it's not allll about the baby. It's also about reclaiming self-worth, loving ourselves, and honoring our health on a cellular level, because there is no better investment.  Thank you so much for the love you shared after last week's episode. It made my day hearing from you. I hope today's conversation speaks to you and lifts you up just as much.   IN THIS EPISODE: Why healing rituals aren't a chore—they're an act of devotion How I'm using hypnosis to unearth subconscious and generational patterns, including inherited beliefs and family trauma The real (and rocky) impact this journey had on our intimacy and marriage The importance of the kind of language we use and who we surround ourselves with when en route to our goals Why investing in my health has challenged everything I thought I knew about money, self-worth, and what it means to fundamentally take care of myself   If you're on your own journey to conceive—or navigating any season of deep personal transformation—this episode will crack your heart open in the most healing way.   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Tune in to Episode 274 for Part 1 of this conversation.

Today's episode is deeply vulnerable for me and one of the most personal I've ever recorded: I'm unpacking everything I've learned so far on my 2.5 year fertility journey. I'll admit I've been guarded about this experience. It's a topic people often have judgement about – but I feel called to share. This conversation isn't just about labs, lifestyle changes, or protocols (though I share all of that too). My biggest takeaway? The mindset, hope, and deep healing I've found in the process. I never want to look back at this period in my life and just see pain, frustration, or confusion. Joy isn't at the finish line: it's in the detours, the upgrades, and the protein-rich breakfasts I eat now that I never used to enjoy! Joy is in becoming the healthiest version of myself I've ever been. Please send the positive vibes, and I hope this episode encourages you to cultivate joy and purpose in your life, even in the midst of big challenges.    IN THIS EPISODE: Why I refuse to call myself "infertile" and how language and identity can shape our experiences of struggle The differences between conventional and alternative fertility care approaches (and why the system can be so frustrating) How environmental toxins affect fertility and the changes I've made to what I consume, as an act of self-love Harnessing spiritual connection and faith in this journey and why hope and deep trust in timing have been essential   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED My book is available in hardcover, Kindle, and as an audiobook.

Why do we hit invisible ceilings in our happiness, love, and success? This is the "upper limit problem," and it's sneakier than you might think… often leading us to self-sabotage, just when things are starting to look up. Today's guests, Gay and Katie Hendricks, are literally my idols. Experts on all things personal growth and relationships, they have trained thousands of coaches, authored more than 40 books, and have even appeared on Oprah. It's time to peel back the layers of upper limits and smash our own glass ceilings. When we fear we're shining too bright, we're dimming our zone of genius. This problem can also seep into our relationships – impacting our personal growth AND our happiness. I have experienced the upper limit problem personally and with my clients. Hear how I had one of the worst weeks ever following the excitement of my 6-figure book deal. Why is this phenomenon even happening to us? Don't miss the key insights from Gay and Katie on “conscious loving” to build healthy, dynamic relationships, and how to unlearn the unconscious patterns we repeatedly fall into.    IN THIS EPISODE: What is an upper limit? And the evolutionary reasons why people often can't handle long periods of time where things go well How to unearth your genius by revisiting your childhood: what did you love to do? How did time used to disappear? The limiting beliefs that can crimp your genius – for example, that you're fundamentally flawed in some way How Gay and Katie met, a glimpse into the roots of their love story, and the theory behind “conscious loving”, to increase the energy you have together The #1 relationship killer and the three BIG emotions you need to get good at in order to solve problems Using body sensations to develop your emotional intelligence   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Read some of my all-time favorite books by Gay and Katie Hendricks, including The Big Leap and Conscious Loving, and learn about the Hendricks Institute.

There's one daily practice I swear by, and I've been doing it for years. It's a little embarrassing (and a little OCD), but it's SO easy to copy, and more importantly, it works! It's not an app or some fancy software. All you need is a few 5x8 notepads and a curiosity to track everything from your aspirations to your self-care rituals. Spoiler alert? Writing in a notepad is not just about making a list and crossing off to-dos. It's about celebrating every micro-win and giving yourself a well-deserved dopamine dose. I break down my EXACT system in this episode, including why I use multiple notebooks and what I track on a regular basis. This simple strategy is one of the most powerful ways to reward your habits and maintain progress on your goals, in just 5 minutes a day.  If you've ever felt the satisfaction from crossing off a task on your to-do list, then maybe this secret hack to success is something you'll love, too.   IN THIS EPISODE: My addictive 5x8 notepad strategy that catapulted me from a burned-out employee to a thriving multiple 6-figure entrepreneur The daily dopamine hack: how the simple act of crossing off small achievements in a notebook powers my alcohol-free lifestyle Why I track my weekend adventures in a notebook, making it easier to recall what I did and remember the important moments (plus, everything else I track!)

If your teen years were filled with insecurity, people-pleasing, or a desperate desire to fit in (hello, alcohol!), this episode will hit home.  Today I'm joined by Katie Bongard, a school counselor, alum of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program, and founder of Untamed Guidance, a coaching business aimed at instilling self-worth and self-love in tween and teen girls. Katie's work is SO important to this world. We talk about the emotional minefields girls are navigating today, from self-esteem to social media - and why so many of us are still carrying similar baggage from our own adolescence. One message that really landed? If you want your kids to believe in themselves and go after their dreams… you have to show them what that looks like. How will they listen if you didn't model that for them? This conversation isn't just for parents. It's for anyone doing the deep work of reparenting themselves, breaking cycles, and modeling what's possible - for others, and for your own inner teen.   IN THIS EPISODE: Katie's personal story: losing her dad at age 12 and the role alcohol played in her life as a teen and adult Empowerment techniques Katie uses to guide tween and teen girls into self-love and worthiness Social media's influence on youth today and why a societal shift towards banning it for younger users could change the narrative for future generations How modeling positive behaviors can fundamentally shift your child's perspective, making self-love and gratitude daily rituals Using technology for good with innovative tools like journaling and affirmation apps that offer practical, daily support for boosting mental well-being and mindfulness   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Follow Katie Bongard on Instagram, see her free resources (some teen and parent guides, plus a newsletter), and visit the Untamed Guidance website.

What if the only thing standing between you and your dream business… is your partner's support? When I first told my husband I wanted to launch an alcohol-free coaching business, he had no frame of reference for it. He was nice about it, but had no clue about the potential.  Friends and family are often the last ones to understand your vision – and in fact, in trying to protect you from falling on your face, they might even try to talk you out of it.  In the newest episode of Euphoric the Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really took to get my husband on board with my massive dream. Spoiler alert: he's now my business partner, COO, and CFO. But that transformation didn't happen overnight. I'll share the exact strategic moves and conversations that helped me lead with my vision, even when no one else could see it.  I also share candid insights about my mom's journey from a post-war communist country to achieving the American dream, even when my dad wasn't sure (and why women are often the visionaries in the family).  It is SO important to give yourself permission to be the visionary.  P.S.

This episode is for my entrepreneurial girlies who want to know how to sign clients and make a huge impact in the world. Every coach wants to sign more clients, but they are often dancing with the fear of selling.  When you have a deeper fear of selling, you hide your work under a rock, even when it feels like you're doing “all the things.”  That's why having a strategy to get into the energy of selling is so important, because if you don't fundamentally believe that your work will help someone completely change their life, you won't have the conviction to sell your heart out to them.  In the new episode of Euphoric the podcast, I'm sharing 10 ways to sign coaching clients with ease, from cultivating great storytelling to developing the right selling mindset.  If you're having a low revenue month, hearing crickets, or feeling like nobody's paying attention, I hope you lean into these techniques to develop a plan of attack. And while I'll always be celebrating your income wins, knowing that you're fundamentally changing lives is the most fulfilling reward ever. Who are you to NOT step up to that plate?

I rented FOUR LUXURY MANSIONS and invited 25 alcohol-free leaders, who, by the end of the weekend, stepped into the most embodied, impactful, and successful versions of themselves. There's something so powerful about a program that gets you off zoom and features an in-person retreat where you get to “be in the room” and build epic friendships that last a lifetime. The Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program is the only alcohol-free coaching designation that includes an in-person retreat, is triple accredited, and includes a business mastermind.  The 5x Certification gives you a rare opportunity to connect with alcohol-free entrepreneurs and create a lifetime of connections and collaborations. If you'd like to join our spring cohort, which starts April 2, don't hesitate to apply – we're almost full

Dogs are colorblind right? Where we see green, they see beige.  But what if we're actually the colorblind species, according to a pigeon who sees more colors than us? In the newest episode of Euphoric the Podcast, I unpacking the illusion of reality and how the illusion of human perception dictates how much success we'll have in our lives.  I'm going deep into quantum theory, neuroscience, subconscious programming, and astrophysics today to show that our limitations are but an illusion.  The next time you find yourself doubting that your dream will take off, just remember: it's only outdated programming. Those limiting beliefs that tell you your dream isn't possible? They're nothing but a trick of the brain. Pluck it out, rewire, and remember that the world is way more magical than we give it credit for. So why not let yourself believe the most amazing things about what's possible for you? Why not lean into the “delusion” that you can have it all? This is some of what we teach in the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program: we go DEEP into quantum theories, the human potential movement, the science of manifestation, and more. It is the only program of its kind, and registration only opens twice a year. The next round starts April 2.    IN THIS EPISODE: Scientific insights into quantum theory, energy, and interconnectedness that redefine what's possible The fascinating illusion of human reality and how our subjective views shape the world we think we know How to peel away false narratives and embrace a mindset where your dreams are not only possible but inevitable How understanding the boundless nature of money and business can propel your entrepreneurial journey to new heights   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Read The Illusion of Money by Kyle Cease.

Why is it that over 50% of people want to start a business–but only 7% actually do? What sets apart the wannabes from the successful entrepreneurs? In the newest episode of Euphoric the Podcast, I dive into the groundbreaking research of organizational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy, who is also the bestselling author of Be Your Future Self Now and 10x is Easier Than 2x. His thesis, Does It Take Courage to Start a Business?, reveals some surprising truths: like why some people get stuck in the “wannabe” entrepreneurial stage. What holds them back? The single biggest difference between those who dream and those who do? The Point of No Return. Just like a plane that's reached takeoff speed on the runway, once you hit this point, there's no turning back. This is the moment when an entrepreneur goes ALL in and commits - they invest in the certification or business program, invest in a ton of product, or quit their job. What's YOUR point of no return?  The episode dives into other attributes that sets successful entrepreneurs apart, including their values, what kind of mentorship they get, and how men and women do it differently.  IN THIS EPISODE: The point of “no return” and why a significant investment in your business is the ultimate game-changer, propelling you from dreamer to doer Why successful entrepreneurs think differently about uncertainty — and how to rewire your mindset to do the same How working with a coach skyrockets your motivation and courage, transforming your business dreams into reality The surprising truth about how long it actually takes to go from wanting a business to launching one (and how to speed up the process) Why more men start businesses than women, and how to break through the hesitation that may be keeping you stuck in the “wannabe” phase   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Check out my FREE masterclass, How I Became a Highly Profitable Thought Leader While Traveling the World (and You Can Too) on March 5 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.

If you're thinking about becoming a coach in 2025, listen up.  You're passionate about helping others, you've been through your own powerful transformation, and you know you have wisdom to share.  But then the doubts creep in — Do I need to be certified? Will anyone take me seriously? Can I actually make a living doing this? People ask me all the time if you have to be certified to coach. The short answer is no, you don't have to do anything. But if you really want to create massive results and transformations for your clients, proper training makes all the difference.   I've seen coaches who try to do it on their own vs coaches who get proper training and the level of conviction, competence, and confidence the latter bring creates massive results for their clients and commands such higher revenues.  When you know how to make changes at the subconscious level, you become a life-changing coach.  You have to ask yourself at the end of the day, are you just playing pretend coach or are you in it for real? Why wouldn't you want to become the best you can be? Get ready to hear my unfiltered thoughts on why some coaches struggle to get clients, how to become an industry leader, and the art of mastering your subconscious mind to 10x your results in the newest episode of Euphoric the Podcast.  Apply for Euphoric's Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program to get certified as a mindset coach, alcohol-free life coach, success coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnosis practitioner, while learning how to grow a profitable business.

This episode is about how I brought my husband with me to the moon. If you didn't know, my husband Robert and I run Euphoric together. I'm the visionary, the marketer, and the face of everything, and he is my strategic partner who manages the operations, ads, and finances of the company. In 2022, Robert left his job to join me so we could travel the world together and own our future. We moved to Europe for a season right away, and since then have been to the dreamiest destinations like Bali, Japan, Costa Rica, AND the Maldives as the company continues to grow! Having to ask his boss for permission to take time off so we could see the world was not the ultimate freedom for us.  In today's podcast episode, I share the behind-the-scenes, never-shared-before story of how I left my day job, how I manifested my husband's exit from corporate, and how the hell we made it all happen.  If this is the year you know you want to ramp up an online coaching business, I recommend getting certified so you can offer the best experience for your clients.

When you do something amazing in your life, you should be shouting it from the rooftops!  Unfortunately, many women don't celebrate their wins for fear of sounding braggy or stuck-up.

This episode is for my entrepreneurial girlies who want to get their shit together, embody that Capricorn energy, and create more organization and automation in their businesses. Today's guest, Marci Rossi, is an alcohol-free coach and systems QUEEN. Marci used to drive herself crazy trying to do everything herself in her business until, finally, she recognized the value in creating systems that involve delegation and automation, consequently increasing the speed and ease of tasks so she could spend more time actually working with clients. Usually marketing takes center stage when it comes to launching and growing a business and the backend doesn't get talked about, but getting these systems down early can make an enormous difference in the speed with which your business grows. Our conversation will be interesting to anyone looking to start a business or make life a little easier. We talk about the best online tools, how to outsource cumbersome tasks, and how to create systems that not only align with long-term strategies but also liberate you from the grind.    IN THIS EPISODE: Marci's background in auditing, family law, and libraries, and the realization she had after going alcohol-free: that she was meant to be an entrepreneur The powerful mantra that "systems equal freedom" and how it can liberate entrepreneurs from the never-ending cycle of managing every detail manually Tools Marci loves, including System IO and ClickUp, and how they can revolutionize business efficiency Why messy action trumps perfectionism, helping entrepreneurs forge ahead, despite fears of imperfection, and take their business to the next level The value in letting go of doing everything ourselves and allowing others (or automation tools) to help so that we can spend more time actually working on sales and services   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Visit Marci's website and her program, The Shortcut, which helps participants set up systems that automate their business.

Welcome to 2025! Here at Euphoric, we are entering the new year with a little downsizing to make room for big plans and some major mindset shifts. In this episode, Karolina reflects on an impactful 2024, which ended with a trip to Brazil followed by a family holiday gathering complete with pierogies (traditional Polish dumplings). It was a beautiful time and a reminder of what truly matters and what we work so hard for. The theme for 2025 is letting go – letting go of things that no longer serve us (alcohol, for example) and also the things that are preventing us from spending time on our dreams. Karolina is focusing on a few big goals in 2025 (including a book, and hopefully, a baby) and has made the difficult decision to pause one-on-one coaching and the Become Emboldened program to focus on these goals. (Other group coaching programs like the Empowered AF Certification program and Become Euphoric will continue.) Do you want to create momentum for the new year?

When Amy Tanzillo went alcohol-free in 2020 to make her side hustle, Thrive Breastfeeding, her full-time job, the impact was incredible. Suddenly, Amy – a single mom of three kids – found herself able to work on all cylinders and offer not only breastfeeding expertise but also coaching and business mentorship to her toolkit, helping entrepreneurs build six-figure companies. Most importantly, becoming an alcohol-free entrepreneur has allowed Amy to be more present with her kids. (Case and point: one recent weekend she drove them from D.C. to New York to see the city at Christmas time. Sometimes, she and her daughter do pilates before school. These are not things you can do while hungover!) In this episode, Karolina and Amy – an alum of the Empowered AF Certification program – talk about the phenomenon of mothers taking control of their careers so they can be more present in their kids' lives.

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.

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.

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   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED: To further support you in making your big moves, Karolina is offering a 10% discount on her signature Become Euphoric Group Coaching Program.

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.

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.

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! Don't miss your chance to apply now and join the Fall 2024 cohort, which starts in mid- October. And tune in next week for Part 2 of this episode.   IN THIS EPISODE: 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!   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED: Lose your desire to drink and lean into your dream life with Karolina's book Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You.
