Do you have a big goal but are lacking the confidence to follow through?

Try taking that grand idea and breaking it down into little wins. If you want to create a podcast, start by finding the software; the next day, buy a microphone; the next, record an episode.

This technique – coined the “Small Wins Framework” – is one Bridget James Ling’s nuggets of brilliance in today’s episode, which I know you will find insightful and inspirational. Bridget is a coach, mentor, founder of Freedom Queen Live, and frankly, an industry icon.

Bridget didn’t just stumble upon success — she seized it while navigating a personal transformation away from binge drinking. Here, she talks about her methods for overcoming haters and how she created a global, multi-million dollar movement helping female entrepreneurs rise and scale their companies.

I think Bridget is the real deal, and I think you’re going to love this episode.

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. I think I’ve subconsciously held back from sharing about my and my clients’ lives because of that cultural projection.

But celebrating personal and professional milestones isn’t bragging; it’s inspiring! It shows others what’s possible and can fuel your own momentum. If we don't share our wins, how will others know what’s achievable?

Today, we're diving into the incredible transformations and pinch-me wins from the latest round of the Empowered AF Coach Certification Program, showing what's possible in just 10 months. These brave souls have redefined their lives by stepping into their fullest potential, and the difference is remarkable.

If you are at all interested, be sure to join our wait list for the Empowered AF Certification Program so that you can be notified on how to submit your application when the time arrives. The next round opens in April!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The transformative power of celebrating wins, both your own and those of others, and how this can break down societal judgments and cultural expectations
• Inspiring, real-life stories of students in my 5x certification program who transitioned from full-time jobs to thriving entrepreneurship
• Learn why it's crucial to invest in yourself and your dreams, and how mentorship, thorough business training, and strategic support can fast-track your journey to success
• The importance of role models and how celebrating your wins shows people what’s possible

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

Are you wondering whether going alcohol-free really is the answer to finding more success?

Here’s a quick (but not conclusive!) list of powerful people who don’t drink: Warren Buffett, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Brene Brown, Amanda Frances, Russell Brunson, AND three of the last four U.S. presidents. Need we say more?

Most successful people don’t talk much about the fact that they don’t drink. But it’s something Karolina has been noticing since she first started reevaluating her relationship with alcohol since 2018. She’s been eager to explore this topic for a while now.

How does not drinking contribute to their success? How does not drinking impact sleep, focus, and well-being? Is this the one secret that nobody is talking about?!

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? Dry Boot Camp spans Jan. 14 through Feb. 4 and is an incredible 22-day community experience where participants commit to not drinking and find ways to meet the needs they’ve been outsourcing to alcohol in new, holistic ways. Join us!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Karolina’s trip to Brazil this past December, from stunning Copacabana to peaceful Ilha Grande, and a business retreat in Buzios that sparked inspiration and growth
• Profound reflection on family time and traditions as Karolina shares heartfelt holiday memories with loved ones, emphasizing the importance of presence and connection
• The power of in-person experiences and how that can elevate your brand and your position as a thought leader beyond anything you do on the internet
• Reframing challenges in our lives so we don’t get stuck in victimhood and the inside scoop on the Thought Leader Mastermind and Dry Bootcamp

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. Their conversation reminds us, especially during the holiday season, what we’re working so hard for: to create memories with the people you love the most.

Remember, you are a freaking badass. See you in 2025!

(P.S. Want to learn more about how to accelerate your business and become a thought leader and disruptor in your industry? Karolina still has a few spots left in her Thought Leader Mastermind!)

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Amy’s candid reflection on her realization of her goals and how she’s now empowering other moms to unlock their potential earlier than she was able to
• How going alcohol-free in January 2020 allowed Amy to go on all cylinders and elevated every area of Amy’s life, particularly as a business owner and mom
• The powerful impact of an alcohol-free lifestyle on Amy’s holiday experiences and family interactions, transforming sluggish days into vibrant, action-packed memories
• Thrive Breastfeeding, which offers high-level concierge-style support for new mothers, and the autonomy and fulfillment it has offered Amy’s life
• How entrepreneurship can give room for more moms to breathe so they can dictate how they want motherhood and their careers to come together

Ever feel like you’re putting in the hard work but your business isn’t growing as fast as you’d like? If so, you’re not alone.

Typically, your first year of business probably WILL be slow. You’re still figuring things out, and you don’t have an audience yet. That’s okay! Karolina made $7,000 in her first year.

But why not avoid some rookie mistakes so you can get profitable faster? In this episode, Karolina dives into 7 mistakes that could be holding you back from turning your business into a 6-figure powerhouse, and the unexpected traps coaches fall into.

You’ll hear her insights on pricing strategies, client retention, and positioning yourself as a thought leader, and she reveals why sometimes success is a gradual climb, not a sudden leap, with the universe matching opportunities with our readiness.

Want to learn more about how to accelerate your business? Karolina still has a few spots left in her Thought Leader Mastermind!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The downside of treating your business like a side hustle instead of going all in – and finding the right price for your services (hint: most beginners start too small!)
• Why skyrocketing overnight can spell disaster for unprepared businesses and how building the right infrastructure can save you from this trap
• Authentic messaging and how becoming a thought leader can massively accelerate your business success
• Getting comfortable with our relationships with sales and remembering that, for many businesses, 80% of revenue comes from existing clients (don’t let them go!)

Euphoric 3.0 is here, where entrepreneurship and alcohol-free living collide.

This podcast has evolved so much since its 2018 inception.

In the beginning, Karolina hosted Euphoric with her friend Danielle as a passion project at the beginning of her alcohol-free journey.

In 2022, the pair amiably parted ways and Karolina took over. She introduced Euphoric 2.0, rebranding the podcast to focus on helping women achieve fulfillment and purpose.

Today, Karolina talks about its newest iteration, and how positioning herself as a thought leader made ALL the difference in her entrepreneurial success.

Don’t own a business? That’s OK! If you have a passion and are trying to make an impact, this episode is for you. Want to write a book? Start a nonprofit? Build an audience? Keep listening.

Karolina reveals her playbook on thought leadership, why it’s her word of the year for 2025, and why this is the identity that ALL of us should adopt in the new year.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• What Brene Brown, Mel Robbins, Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, and Brendan Burchard have in common
• Why embodying the thought leader mindset is essential for your business growth and personal transformation
• Karolina’s 6-month mastermind: a game-changing journey culminating in an elite VIP event in Paris
• Why sometimes 10x is easier than 2x, forcing your brain to look at the bigger picture instead of incremental improvement
