Episode 338: The Universe Slammed Me Into the Earth: How Jessa Frances De La Rosa Turned a Breakdown Into Shadow Work, Memoir Coaching, and a Career Nobody Had Ever Had in the AF Beverage World
1w ago00:47:49Tap to summarizeIt's our first in-studio podcast! Be sure to watch the version on the Euphoric youtube channel. Jessa Frances De La Rosa accidentally became one of the first alcohol-free beverage consultants in the country, helped launch one of the first non-alcoholic bottle shops in the South, and built an entire career out of weaving together things that didn't obviously belong together, until they did. She's also a trauma-informed memoir writing coach, a shadow work practitioner, and someone whose story involves a divorce after 14 years, three kids, prior military service, a master's degree in creative writing in Scotland, the pandemic shutting everything down while she was across the ocean for the first time away from her children, and eventually painting a wall on Task Rabbit that led to the job that changed her life. We talk about what the alcohol-free beverage world actually looks like now versus what it looked like when both of us first started paying attention to it, what shadow work actually is and why Carl Jung's most famous line might be the most important sentence you've ever read, why memoir writing is the rawest form of shadow work there is, and why awareness alone doesn't create change, community does. We also get into writing, because Jessa helps women write memoirs and I'm in the middle of writing my second book, and there's a conversation in here about resistance, accountability, and what it actually takes to write the thing your soul is calling you to write that I think every aspiring author in this community needs to hear. IN THIS EPISODE: What an alcohol-free beverage consultant actually is and how Jessa invented the role from scratch What walking into a non-alcoholic bottle shop in Charleston looked like when it first opened, and what it tells us about how far we still have to go with education Why mocktails with a bunch of sugar and a paper umbrella are missing the point entirely Carl Jung's famous line on the unconscious and why it applies directly to every complicated relationship with alcohol What shadow work actually is, the difference between awareness and integration, and why awareness alone can actually make things worse temporarily Why memoir writing takes you deeper than journaling ever could, and what it means to write as the child, the adult, and the witness simultaneously The childhood associations we form around alcohol before we ever take a single sip Rapid fire: the best alcohol-free drink she's ever tasted, the one book every aspiring memoir writer should read, and what her shadow would be in one word Find Jessa at jessafrancis on Instagram, thecaimcircle.com, or getuntoxicated.com Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

Transcribe →Episode 337: What Alcohol Does to Your Psychic Ability with Psychic Medium Dallisa Hocking + Predictions for the Next Decade
2w ago00:38:10Tap to summarizeAnytime I get to sit across from someone who works with energy and the spiritual world at this level, I go straight for the question I most want answered: how does alcohol affect spiritual insights? Dallisa is a psychic medium, intuition teacher, and founder of Spirit and Spark, and her answer to that question gave me chills. Her explanation is straightforward: everything vibrates at a frequency, and in order to access higher dimensions, your spirit guides, your intuition, or source energy, your own frequency needs to be elevated. Alcohol lowers it. This aligns with what I've heard from shamans and from researchers studying the neuroscience of alcohol and brain connectivity: when the different regions of your brain stop communicating, you lose access to the biggest guide you have, your own inner knowing. We go from there into how Dallisa's abilities opened almost overnight in 2015, why she believes everyone has psychic capacity and what spirit has been downloading to her about the next decade of global change, including what disruptions are coming for education, healthcare, careers, AI, and what's coming for the coasts of North America. We also get into astrology, specifically the North Node, which Dallisa describes as the northern star your soul aimed at in this lifetime, the clue to what you actually came here to do. She pulled mine live in this episode and I was immediately taking notes. IN THIS EPISODE: Why alcohol lowers your frequency and blocks your ability to access intuition and spiritual connection How Dallisa's psychic abilities opened overnight in 2015 through a message from a friend's recently deceased aunt Why she believes everyone has psychic ability and what you can start doing today to develop yours What spirit has been channeling about disruption in the coming decade, education, healthcare, careers, and the early 2030s The North Node in your astrological chart and why it might be the most useful thing to look at if you're questioning your purpose right now What Dallisa pulled for my North Node live in this episode Find Dallisa at spiritandspark.com, with a free gift waiting for you there.

Transcribe →Episode 336: 4 Things Helping Me Heal After Loss
3w ago00:24:44Tap to summarizeGrief is a strange thing to show up for publicly when you're still right in the middle of it, and honestly, parts of what I'm going through right now feel so private and so deep that I'm not even sure I have the language for it yet. But I felt called to share, because some of this might help someone. A few weeks ago I recorded an episode about losing Huxley unexpectedly on Memorial Day. If you haven't heard that one yet, go back and listen first. This episode is what's come after and what I've leaned into to heal and process my loss. It feels like I'm in the middle of a big spiritual awakening. Something about grief this deep, when you actually let yourself feel it instead of escaping it, has a way of shaking loose everything you thought you knew about yourself. My values, my worldview, my identity, how I want to show up in this work is all up for questioning. In this episode I'm sharing four specific things that have been genuinely helping me move through loss. IN THIS EPISODE Why I deleted the games off my phone and started auditing where I was unconsciously checking out The 14 books I read last month and why grief sent me deep into Jungian analysis, shamanic practices, and dream interpretation What dream interpretation has opened up for me, including a dream where Huxley showed me something I needed to hear The signs Huxley keeps sending me and why I've stopped dismissing what my intuition points to The February knowing I had about Huxley's time, and what that's taught me about trusting what I feel even when my logical brain argues back Why writing, including poetry that I haven't written since high school, has been the most healing thing of all What writing my second book from a coffee shop overlooking the ocean has felt like during all of this Thank you for the outpouring of love and messages since the last episode. Over four hundred of you reached out to share your love and sympathy. It has meant everything. This community is something I don't take for granted.

Transcribe →Episode 335: Because She Stopped Drinking, She Became The Beyonce of the Birth World with Lisa Sykes
Jul 100:44:40Tap to summarizeLisa Sykes calls herself the Beyonce of the birth world, and once you hear her talk, you understand exactly why. She's the number one business coach for doulas, midwives, and birth professionals worldwide, and she built that entire identity by refusing to do things the way everyone told her she had to. Lisa spent 15 years as a doula after leaving a corporate career in IT following a redundancy and a moment of clarity that sounds a lot like the moment so many of us have around alcohol, a sudden, undeniable knowing that this isn't it anymore. She trained, she built a doula business that booked out in its first month, and eventually pivoted into coaching other doulas and midwives on the business-side of things. We get into what a doula actually is versus a midwife, why the birth world has historically undervalued itself, and how Lisa built a movement around the radical idea that supporting women through birth is not a lifestyle choice, it's a necessity, priced accordingly. We also talk about her alcohol-free journey, which crept up on her gradually through marathon training in Dubai, and how stopping drinking unlocked a level of clarity and conviction that she says 10x'd overnight. Plus the real conversation about partner objections, and why Lisa thinks the "I need to ask my husband" conversation tells you everything you need to know about whether someone is the right client. IN THIS EPISODE Why Lisa believes pricing your work as a necessity instead of a luxury changes everything about how people respond The marathon-training path that led Lisa to five years alcohol-free skyrocketing her business How a redundancy and a moment of total clarity led Lisa out of corporate and into entrepreneurship Why doulas and midwives have been historically underpaid, and how Lisa flipped that narrative completely How to handle the "I need to talk to my partner" objection The mantra Lisa and her husband have used through every big risk they've taken Apply to be our next Thought Leader to master premium selling and thought leader positioning to publish your book and deliver your keynote onstage.

Transcribe →Episode 334: Feminine Embodiment, Dance, and Why So Many High Achieving Women Are Stuck in Their Masculine: with Ashley Roberts
Jun 2400:32:56Tap to summarizeAshley Roberts graduated from the 5x Certification and has built something really beautiful since then, a feminine embodiment movement practice rooted in dance, somatic work, and helping women find their way back into their bodies after years of operating purely from logic and achievement. In this episode, we get into what feminine embodiment actually means, because it gets thrown around so much online that it starts to lose its shape. Ashley breaks it down through Marion Woodman's work, through the masculine and feminine as water and mountains, and through her own story of feeling completely disconnected from her body until she went alcohol-free and found her way into a feminine embodiment workshop that changed her perspective. We talk about what it looks like when someone is operating too much in their masculine: the hyper independence, the need for control, the inability to receive help, and why that pattern almost always comes from a place that once needed safety. Ashley shares how dance became her way out of her head and into her body, what her Monday night movement classes actually look like, and how this work completely shifted her marriage, her confidence, and her relationship with her own sensuality. We also get into the cyclical nature of feminine energy, how to know when softening is actually the right move versus when it's fear dressed up as surrender, and the very honest conversation about how alcohol was Ashley's old shortcut to the same thing dance gives her now, except one of them backfires and one of them doesn't. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: What feminine embodiment actually means, and why it has nothing to do with gender roles The signs that someone is stuck in hyper masculine mode, and why hyper independence is really about safety Why dance is one of the fastest ways to get out of your head and into your body How Ashley's marriage changed when she stopped trying to prove she was pulling her weight The difference between healthy surrender and using softness as a mask for fear How working with your cycle changes how you plan your energy across the month Why alcohol numbs the exact thing feminine energy is built on, the ability to feel LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Apply to be our next Thought Leader to master premium selling and thought leader positioning to publish your book and deliver your keynote onstage.

Transcribe →Best of Euphoric: The Myth of Normal Drinking
Jun 1700:22:09Tap to summarizeIn 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?

Transcribe →Episode 332: Grief, Loss, and Why I'm So Grateful I Was Alcohol-Free for All of It: Losing My Soul Dog Huxley
Jun 1000:37:42Tap to summarizeI recently lost one of the greatest loves of my life, my soul dog Huxley. He passed really unexpectedly on Memorial Day. He was 11 and a half. He was fine that morning. He ate breakfast, he cuddled with us, he sat in the sun while we were at the pool. By that evening, he was gone. He had massive internal bleeding and we had no idea anything was wrong until his gums went pale and we were racing across town to an emergency vet that Memorial Day night. What followed was four hours of the most tender goodbyes I've ever experienced, and then one of the hardest weeks of my life. I've been thinking a lot about what it means to grieve fully, to actually feel it instead of pushing it down and numbing it. I did that in my early 20s after a bad heartbreak, drowned myself in alcohol, and missed the whole thing. I shoved it down and it just kept showing up later as triggers and pain I hadn't processed. This time I felt all of it. The shock, the devastation, the beauty, the signs he's been sending us since. I'm also sharing something I found in my journal from February, a few months before he died, where I had written about him without knowing what was coming. And what it made me realize about presence and about what being alcohol-free actually means at the deepest level. IN THIS EPISODE How we lost Huxley and what those four hours of goodbye looked like The three things that determine how deep grief hits, and why losing a dog child can undo you completely What I did differently this time compared to grieving through alcohol in my early 20s, and what that cost me back then The signs Huxley has been sending us since he passed, and why I'm not calling any of them coincidences What I found in my journal from February that I wrote without knowing what was coming Why being alcohol-free is really just another way of saying you are awake to your life What alcohol actually takes from you, and why you feel the bad but miss all the good when you numb LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Apply to be our next Thought Leader to master premium selling and thought leader positioning to publish your book and deliver your keynote onstage.

Jun 300:35:18Tap to summarizeIs drinking really tied to our cultural roots, or is it a habit we can choose to reshape? Since 2018, Karolina's been crisscrossing the globe, proving that you can experience the vibrant charm of cities like Paris, Madrid, and Tokyo without a drop of alcohol.

Transcribe →Episode 330: My Writing Process What's Different from Book 2 Compared to Book 1
May 2700:34:05Tap to summarizeMy first book came from 15-minute morning writing sprints in a notepad before I even brushed my teeth. This second one makes me cry almost every time I open it. That's probably the best way I can explain why writing it has been so completely different, and why I wanted to bring you into that process right now, while I'm still in it. I'm currently writing my second book. I have an agent, I have a deadline I gave myself, and I have a story I feel so much weight around that I can barely open the document without crying. That's where I am right now, and I figured if 82% of Americans want to write a book, I might as well pull back the curtain on what this process actually looks like. This episode is about how I'm actually making it work, what I've had to learn about deep work versus shallow work, why external accountability is the only reason any of my biggest goals have ever happened, and why this book, about my ancestors and what they survived so I could be here, feels like the most important thing I've ever tried to do. IN THIS EPISODE: Why 82% of Americans want to write a book and almost none of them do The difference between the writing that runs your business and the deep work a book actually requires Tony Robbins' urgent versus important framework and how it explains exactly why your book keeps losing to your inbox Why I write my second book at 9:30pm after dinner instead of during work hours The Katyn massacre, my great uncle, and what I found in the historical research that confirmed stories I had heard my whole life Why I cry almost every single time I open this manuscript How to use force functions to finally make the thing happen that you keep saying you'll do someday What a book proposal actually is, and what the traditional publishing timeline really looks like If you have a book on your heart that you keep putting off, this one is going to feel very familiar.

Transcribe →Episode 329: Nightlife, Situationships, and One Stage Away From Cervical Cancer with Rachel McElreath
May 2000:34:50Tap to summarizeRachel McElreath is 28 years old, graduated from the 5x Certification, and has already lived more lives than most people do in a lifetime. She started drinking at 15, Halloween night in Atlanta, a bottle of Hennessy handed to her by a friend, parents in crisis at home, and spent the next decade building a life that looked fine from the outside and was quietly falling apart underneath. She held jobs, went to college, went to beauty school. She also worked bottle service in Dallas, dated men who weren't available, and kept ignoring an inner voice that was getting louder by the year. The thing that finally made her stop wasn't a gradual awakening. It was a phone call from her doctor in late 2023 telling her she was one stage away from cervical cancer. That week, she left the relationship she was in. A few weeks later, she quit drinking and made the decision to be celibate, both at the same time. She spent 2024 meeting herself for the first time, rebuilding from almost nothing, and figuring out who she actually was without alcohol, without men, and without the nightlife identity she had built her entire social world around. Now she coaches women through that same process, not just getting sober, but building a life they're actually excited to wake up to. This conversation goes places a lot of podcast episodes don't. We talk about HPV and cervical cancer, three abortions in one year, sexual assault, trauma bonding, and what it actually feels like to realize that the shame you've been carrying isn't yours to keep. Rachel shares all of it without flinching, and that's exactly what makes her work so powerful. IN THIS EPISODE: Starting to drink at 15 when home didn't feel safe, and how that one decision shaped the next decade Working bottle service while her body was sending her signals she kept overriding The phone call from her doctor and what she decided in the weeks that followed Why she quit alcohol and went celibate at the same time, and what two and a half years of that has actually been like The loneliness of dissolving an entire identity and why 2024 was somehow still the best year of her life What she sees shifting in the younger generation around alcohol, and why she's genuinely excited about it LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Follow Rachel on Instagram.
