Euphoric the Podcast

I just went on an INCREDIBLE trip to South Africa … so naturally, I have to tell you about it! Earlier this year, a past client invited me to speak at her first retreat in Cape Town, which to me was an enormous opportunity to visit a continent I'd never been to before. So my husband and I made an adventure of it. We stopped in Istanbul on the way, visited friends, saw the most majestic and dangerous animals on the planet, and witnessed economic divides that I can't stop thinking about. I don't always share about my travels on this podcast, but this excursion was special, with moments that moved me to tears (feeding baby elephants), moments where I feared for my life (getting bitten by a poisonous spider), and moments that inspired huge perspective shifts about the kind of privilege so many of us are born into. It's so cool to see where the world takes you when you go all-out on your purpose – because this trip would not have been possible if it weren't for my entrepreneurial calling! I hope this episode offers a little inspiration to step outside your comfort zone and go on an adventure yourself.

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.

If you have an idea nudging your soul and showing up in your daydreams and journal entries, THIS is your sign that you're meant to do it. Today's episode is a full-circle moment for me: Sarah Cassidy was a Euphoric client in 2020, and not only did I help her change her relationship with alcohol, but we also planted the seeds of an even bigger purpose… to become an author. Five years later, and she's done it: Swaddled: Sage Stories to Wrap Mothers in Love is an incredibly raw and unfiltered collection of stories about motherhood, from the celebratory moments of rediscovering your identity after postpartum anxiety, to finding grace after pregnancy loss. In our conversation, Sarah reveals how this beautiful dream became a reality, from battling imposter syndrome and years of self-doubt, to silencing her inner critic and finding belonging in a writing community. When I work with a client, I root for them forever. I love to see them soar, and I am moved by these movements and messages they put out into the world. Having Sarah here to share this enormous success story gives me all the feels. IN THIS EPISODE: LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED In this episode, we talk about Sarah's beautiful book, Swaddled: Sage Stories to Wrap Mothers in Love; check it out.

Personally, I’m going through a fertility journey, my husband is dealing with ongoing health challenges, and we’ve both hit wall after wall trying to find real answers in traditional care.

Today, the alcohol-free industry is worth $1.6 TRILLION dollars and counting, with celebrities, wellness icons, and millions of women joining the movement. Not long ago, choosing to not drink meant you were labeled, questioned, or told you’d “never have fun again.” How times have changed. I’ve had the incredible honor of watching this glow-up since I took my first break from alcohol 7.5 years ago. At the time, around 10% of the population didn’t drink. Now? That number has soared to 25%. This episode is all about how we got here, from what it was like to go alcohol-free when options were scarce, the fascinating data behind this global shift, and what this means for our culture moving forward. 7.5 years ago, I’d drive an hour just to find a decent AF stout, but today, there are options EVERYWHERE: restaurants, grocery stores, online, and it’s only growing with endorsements from influencers like Katy Perry and Tom Holland, who have their own AF brands. If you go alcohol-free today, you are an early adopter and an innovator.

Today, I’m finally diving into a topic I’ve wanted to share with you for ages: MONEY. If you’ve cut back or said goodbye to alcohol, you’re already sitting on a gold mine. The average drinker spends $3,000 to $8,000 a year on alcohol alone – and now is the perfect time to leverage that raise and make your money work smarter. In this episode, I’m sharing the foundations of financial literacy for alcohol-free women – the habits, mindsets, and investing principles that can create lasting wealth. We’re talking about investing, emergency funds, high-yield savings accounts, retirement, all of it. I’ll also take you behind the scenes of my own money journey. Obviously I am not a financial advisor, but there are principles that I live by that have made my life SO much easier. When you remove alcohol, you gain energy, peace, and the power to build a legacy. If you’re looking to start your own purpose-driven income stream, coaching is one of the most scalable business models out there. Enrollment is open for the next round of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program.

I went VIRAL! I’ve been talking about entrepreneurship and the alcohol-free lifestyle on social media for years, but recently, something I said hit a deep chord: The universe hand-selected you to ditch alcohol because of how massive your purpose on this planet is. Something in those words clicked for thousands of women — and honestly, I get it. Most women who feel called to this path are visionaries who know they’re meant for something bigger. Before I quit drinking 7 years ago, I constantly battled writer’s block, but the moment I took a break, it was like a creative floodgate burst open of ideas, inspiration, and energy. In this episode, you’ll discover how that decision unlocks life-changing gifts, from the obvious (like glowing health and renewed energy) to the unexpected (a deep well of confidence and razor-sharp intuition)! Gorgeous, you KNOW you were made for more. If going alcohol-free has awakened something powerful in you, it’s because you’re meant to guide others too.

How do you go from corporate burnout and nightly wine to hosting one of the top sober podcasts in the world? Casey Davidson is one of the biggest names in the alcohol-free community. After a ‘just take a break’ experiment from drinking during her Fortune 500 career, she discovered a new calling – one that grew into a thriving coaching business that inspires thousands of high-achieving women every day, AND the chart-topping Hello Someday podcast. This is a joint episode, so you’ll hear us both share how our alcohol-free journeys accelerated our careers into this beautiful industry, opening the door to more passion, meaning, and fulfillment in our careers and lives. We talk about what it really takes to build a podcast brand from scratch, the surprising fears she had to overcome (yes, even worrying if life coaching was “a real job”), and why quitting alcohol is a process of “unbecoming”, unlocking courage, clarity, and fulfillment you didn’t even know you were missing. So many people think of life coaching as a pipe dream, but if you’ve ever thought ‘maybe there’s more for me than this,’ it’s time to find out.

Ordinary coaches hang out on Zoom. Trailblazers? They get in the room. I’ll never stop believing this: the most life-changing transformations, wildest epiphanies, and deepest connections don’t happen online. They happen face-to-face. It’s why my signature Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program incorporates an in-person retreat. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I brought together the most incredible alcohol-free leaders to this certification retreat in Palm Springs and helped them transform into 6-figure business owners. The 5X retreat is always an emotional weekend for me. It’s when I finally get to hug everyone in person and create a magical, shared experience, complete with sound baths, meditation, spontaneous jumps into the pool with our clothes on, and our “Come as You’ll Be” party where we embody our five-year future selves. Our retreats draw leaders from ALL over the world (UK, Germany, South Africa, even Bali!) and this special weekend becomes the anchor that fuels their mindset and soul-level conviction long after they fly home. If you want to be part of this special sisterhood and step into your own transformation, jump into the next round of the certification program. I hope to meet you at the next retreat in Dana Point.

Let’s bust the myth that sophistication and wine are synonymous. For years, Natalie Halt was a sommelier with a deep passion and professional stake in wine. But behind the polished image came blackouts, burnout, and a deep longing for something more. Her shift to spiritual alcohol-free leader and 5X Certified Coach is proof that the answer to fulfillment isn’t moderation: it’s unlocking a deeper purpose, celebrating small rituals, and finding meaning beyond the glass. Natalie is a renaissance woman who has done so much in her life, and in this episode, she shares her extraordinary story as well as her enormous identity shift which inspired the launch of her program Sacred Rebellion, for women who want more than alcohol can offer. She’ll also reveal how she navigates ADHD and motherhood, and why she decided to become a leader in this space.

Ever felt the sting of an identity shift, like when a lifelong pursuit suddenly ends, leaving you wondering what’s next? For Anne Skriba, basketball was everything. But when she quit athletics for a “secure” sales job, the loss of structure, routine, and identity careened her into a harmful relationship with alcohol. I’ve heard this story so many times: when we stop doing the thing we love, the thing that once defined us, we start to lose pieces of ourselves. Without that passion to anchor you, it’s easy to drift into numbing habits. Fast forward to today, Anne is the founder of Clean Play Coaching, host of the Clean Play Podcast, and a 5X Certified Coach. Before recording this interview, Anne celebrated ONE THOUSAND DAYS alcohol-free. To say this shift has changed her life is an understatement. In this episode, Anne talks about transforming that former athletic identity into a winning mindset and the pivotal moment that shifted her relationship with alcohol that will blow your mind.

What happens when you take your wellness to a whole new level at a Polish health clinic, following rituals straight out of old-world Europe? Let’s just say it involved a vegetable-only cleanse, 3x a day water massages, and more parsley than you can possibly imagine. It was an intense but unforgettable reset, and I could only do it because of the life and business I’ve built. For 10 years, my husband and I worked 9-5 jobs that limited our ability to travel. Now, the freedom to say yes to these kinds of adventures is so fulfilling. In this episode, you’ll hear every detail of this beautiful opportunity – why we signed up in support of our fertility journey, our daily meals and activities (including water aerobics and hyperbaric oxygen chambers!), and the rest of our summer travels in Europe, from the Thought Leader Mastermind in Paris to incredible adventures in Italy and Slovenia.

Ever find yourself hustling hard, checking all the right boxes, and still feeling unfulfilled? Sarah Harris’s life seemed picture-perfect on paper: two advanced degrees, a family, and a high-paying 9-to-5 – but ditching alcohol in her 30’s cracked her wide open to the truth that alignment was missing. In this episode, Sarah shares the story of her spiritual awakening and her journey to becoming an NLP practitioner, human design expert, alcohol-free empowerment coach, and success coach, helping women unlock their authentic blueprint, align with their higher purpose, and create a life that feels fulfilled AF.

Forget the tired “vacation = cocktails” script. Travel can be so much more exhilarating, especially when you’re clear-headed, confident, and fully present. In this episode, I’m sharing my 12 favorite travel hacks that make exploring the world as a non-drinker absolutely liberating. As you probably know by now, culture is my lifeblood, and I travel a LOT. I love seeing the world, meeting new people, trying new food, and swimming in new waters. Some of my travel hacks are beneficial no matter who you are (like how to lean into credit card benefits and breeze through airport security!) while others are especially good to know as a nondrinker (for example, learning how to ask for non-alcoholic drinks in the local language). I used to sit by the pool with a drink in hand, never leaving the resort. Now? I think of travel very differently, chasing adventures where I can be active and present, from hiking to snorkeling to exploring ancient ruins. These hacks will change the way you plan your next trip. Get ready to travel lighter, braver, and way more alive.

Alcohol is draining more than your energy: it’s also draining your potential and your revenue. Today’s guest James Swanwick breaks it down like this: if you’re making $1 million a year and rate yourself a 6/10 thanks to nightly drinks, what could you accomplish if you suddenly became an 8/10 or 9/10? That’s hundreds of thousands of dollars you’re losing in missed opportunities and performance. James is an alcohol-free trailblazer, former ESPN host, entrepreneur, and author of the new book, CLEAR. He’s living proof that ditching alcohol is the ultimate power move for high achievers, espousing the philosophy that successful people do not drink. In our conversation, he talks about the decision to go alcohol-free 15 years ago, which at the time, was a decision that had serious stigma attached to it. We also discuss the tidal wave of change happening regarding the stigma of alcohol, from sober raves to the fact that Gen Z drinking less than any previous generation. If you’re curious what really separates breakthrough performers from the rest, this episode is a must-listen. Will you be one of the leaders who chooses the alcohol-free edge?
