Euphoric the Podcast Karolina Rzadkowolska

Beautiful, we ditch alcohol for a reason - to step into a deeper calling and our deeper purpose. When you cultivate that newfound confidence and new ideas and passions are swirling, that's a ripe time to take advantage of.
Gayle Macdonald is a transformational coach who drank daily for 15 years. After moving to Spain, alcohol became a part of her lifestyle as she learned a new language and frequently met up with friends for tapas. Throughout today’s episode, Gayle walks Karolina through her inspiring journey to becoming alcohol-free and now teaching others to do the same, which required listening to her intuition and slowing down to reconnect with herself.
It's so incredible to hear how she redefined her life and career and rebuilt her trust and confidence from the ground up. Enjoy!
IN THIS EPISODE:
How intense shame and constant guilt led Gayle to make a choice to not drink for 6 months (and what triggered her to finally stop for good)
The mantra that gave Gayle so much freedom and headspace to trust her decision to become alcohol-free
Gayle shares how she rebuilt her confidence and self-esteem and learned to recognize that she is worthy of her desires, needs, and wants
The epiphany Gayle had that inspired her to combine her teaching background with coaching - she now supports others on their alcohol-free journey
There are many ways to get on the path to recovery - there’s not one “secret”, though once you become alcohol-free, it feels like an incredible secret you’ve discovered!
The advice (and permission) Gayle would give to her younger self when she was in the thick of drinking

Is drinking distorting what’s possible for you?
Karolina is breaking down the powerful identity shift that happens when you become a “non-drinker.” It changes your level of confidence, your capacity for courage and self-love, and from that position of increased self-worth, you can actually do the things that you said you would do. You’ll also hear about the intricacies of the subconscious mind and how to use a “warming up” strategy to your advantage (hint: this is how Karolina broke through the limiting beliefs around writing her bestselling book!)
If you're in a position where you're getting lit up about your sense of possibility, about what new dreams might be unfolding in your heart, it’s time to deepen that line of questioning. Ask yourself, “what's possible for me now?”
IN THIS EPISODE:
Your intuition may be knocking on your door to help you re-evaluate the role of alcohol in your life. Are you ignoring that voice or will you take a chance on it?
Karolina describes her journey to an alcohol-free lifestyle. It took a lot of broken promises to herself and seeing her self-worth deteriorate before she stepped into a new identity as a “non-drinker”
How having an identity as a drinker leads to a “so-so” career, “so-so” friendships, and “so-so” everything, and why that shouldn’t be our version of good enough. We can have an extraordinary life beyond our wildest dreams
The intricacies of our subconscious mind, and how Karolina “warmed up” her subconscious to break through the resistance around writing her first book

It’s incredible to realize how powerful the mind is to help heal the body, and today, we’re diving into the oldest Western conception of psychotherapy: hypnosis!
Dr. David Spiegel is an Associate Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a Medical Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. He has spent more than 40 years tackling clinical research around psycho oncology, stress and health, pain control, sleep, hypnosis, and more, writing 13 books and publishing hundreds of articles along the way.
Today, Karolina and Dr. Spiegel dig into the magic of hypnosis, how it can help you approach ditching alcohol and processing trauma, and the mind-body connection. You’re going to want to tune in!
IN THIS EPISODE:
How hypnosis can be compared to experiencing “hyper-focused attention” that can help you let go of old ways of thinking, change your mind-body relationship, and support stress relief
Dr. Spiegel shares the 3 things that happen to the brain when you enter a state of hypnosis and how it helps you dissociate from who you are and what you can and can't do
How bringing out protective and maternal urges with your body can help you flip your mindset around not drinking with positive reinforcement
The mind-body connection is actually a two-way street. We construct internal AND external realities and our brain decides what to pay attention to
Processing trauma with hypnosis to gain a new perspective on “old pain” and forgiveness
The radical difference between hypnosis and mindfulness (hint: mindfulness is a practice, while hypnosis actually solves problems rapidly and can be a quick fix!)
