Have you ever looked around at your career – the meetings, the inbox, the constant striving, and thought, is this really it? This is exactly how Jaime Andersen felt. An alum of Euphoric's 5X certification program who  transitioned from a top-ranking position at Amazon to an alcohol-free trailblazer, she spent more than 20 years in the tech scene, climbing the ranks and thriving in a performance-driven world.  Like so many of us, she used alcohol to cope with the pressure, until she realized it was the very thing keeping her stuck. Going alcohol-free allowed Jaime to flourish, unlocking new levels of confidence and joy at work and at home. She was receiving dreamy promotions and bigger projects… but her heart kept pulling toward her true passion to empower women.  I am obsessed with sharing the stories of women who persevered in their alcohol-free journeys and in pursuing their dreams, and Jaime is the perfect example of this. Her story is proof that the path toward entrepreneurship can be just as wavy and convoluted as the path to going alcohol-free – and it is SO worth it.   IN THIS EPISODE: Jamie's leap from working 60-hour weeks as a top Amazon leader to launching her purpose-driven, alcohol-free coaching business How going alcohol-free supercharged Jamie's performance at Amazon, but also sparked a deeper calling to help other women The nuts and bolts of the transition: conversations with her partner, letting go of a steady paycheck, and designing her own schedule to be truly present with her family Jamie's top advice and lessons for high-achieving women, including how to turn your corporate skills into entrepreneurial gold   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Follow Jaime on Instagram.
