In this episode, Paul sits down with author and coach Karolina Rzadkowolska to explore our everyday relationship with alcohol—not from the perspective of addiction, but from the socially accepted drinking habits most adults consider “normal.” Karolina shares how a simple Dry January experiment transformed her confidence, creativity, sleep, mood, and sense of purpose, ultimately leading her to build a global alcohol-free movement. Together, they unpack the beliefs we inherit about alcohol—confidence, relaxation, sociability—and why many of these assumptions simply aren’t true. They discuss how alcohol often numbs the very signals that point us toward change, meaning, and a more fulfilling life. This conversation isn’t about judgment—it’s about possibility, self-awareness, and what might open up when you give yourself permission to explore life without the weekend buzz.   About the Guest – Karolina Rzadkowolska Karolina Rzadkowolska is the author of Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You and the founder of Euphoric AF, where she helps people explore an alcohol-free lifestyle without labels or shame.
