Do you ever feel like you can't fully relax until everyone else around you is okay? Like you're constantly scanning the room, the conversations, the energy – making sure no one is upset, disappointed, or uncomfortable… even if it means abandoning your own needs?

I'm so excited to have family nurse practitioner, coach, healing expert, and all-around wonder woman Beatriz Victoria Albina back on the show to talk about her new book, End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, and People-Pleasing Habits.

In this episode we talk about the unconscious habit Beatriz calls "emotional outsourcing" – when we source our sense of safety, belonging, and worth from everyone and everything outside ourselves, instead of within. We also explore the impacts it can have on our bodies, from chronic exhaustion to gut health and nervous system dysregulation.

If you've ever wondered why you're always the fixer, the apologizer, the peacekeeper, or the one who holds everything together, this episode will take your lived experiences and share so many beautiful and practical somatic tools to rebuild your self-trust and find inner peace.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The top signs you're stuck in a chronic cycle of people pleasing, perfectionism, or codependency, and how these habits disguise themselves as kindness or ambition
• Beatriz's journey from her medical practice to somatic healing and the links between nervous system dysregulation, gut health, and emotional exhaustion
• Why the generational script handed down by our mothers is keeping modern women over-giving, under-valuing themselves, and perpetually on edge
• Simple somatic practices you can start using TODAY to reconnect with your body, listen to your true needs, and interrupt those exhausting autopilot patterns

I just went on an INCREDIBLE trip to South Africa …

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 elephants), moments where I feared for my life (getting bitten by a 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.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The electrifying reality of a South African safari: up-close encounters with the Big Five, charging rhinos, lion sightings, and the spiritual sign that moved me to tears
• What it's like getting bitten by a mystery African spider while going to the bathroom and facing the most deadly snake in the world on a casual walk
• Eye-opening lessons from post-apartheid South Africa, and how understanding privilege, opportunity and the birth lottery can change your perspective forever
• How following your entrepreneurial vision and purpose can unlock experiences you never dreamed of

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.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Jamie's leap from working 60-hour weeks as a top Amazon leader to launching her purpose-driven, alcohol-free coaching business
• How going alcohol-free supercharged Jamie's performance at Amazon, but also sparked a deeper calling to help other women
• The nuts and bolts of the transition: conversations with her partner, letting go of a steady paycheck, and designing her own schedule to be truly present with her family
• Jamie's top advice and lessons for high-achieving women, including how to turn your corporate skills into entrepreneurial gold

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:

• Sarah's lifelong dream to write a book, which had been buried deep since childhood and sparked again through alcohol-free clarity
• The "veil-lifting" effect of ditching alcohol, and how it unleashed Sarah's deep wish to write a book and help other mothers by sharing stories about motherhood
• Sarah's account of battling imposter syndrome and perfectionism, and the self-worth mantra that she carried around in her pocket
• How alcohol is often glossed over as a solution for mothers' struggles in "mommy juice culture" and what true support and healing look like instead

Is our medical system truly designed to keep us healthy… or just to treat us when we're sick?

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.

If you've ever felt dismissed by a doctor, told your labs are "normal" when you know something's off, or can't get ahead of autoimmune issues and hormone imbalances before they snowball into bigger problems, this conversation will open your eyes.

Integrative wellness coach Megan Swan, alum of the Empowered AF 5X Certification program, is joining the podcast for the third time, and we're talking about why "Medicine 2.0" isn't serving us – and that's where Medicine 3.0 comes in.

Discover what it really means to take your health into your own hands and the power of tracking your biomarkers and optimizing your lifestyle metrics to shift your energy and longevity.

Megan and her partner are bringing this beautiful vision to life in November at Altavita, an advanced diagnostics and personalized healthcare retreat in Chiapas, Mexico. I'll be there with my husband, and you can join us!

Use code EUPHORICAF for $500 off your Altavita retreat.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The radical shift from "Medicine 2.0" (sick care) to "Medicine 3.0," which is all about empowering people with preventative strategies and personalized data
• Why "normal" lab results often mean "not sick yet" but NOT actually healthy, and how women especially get overlooked when it comes to diagnostics, research, and treatment
• Megan's insider scoop on Altavita, the diagnostic health retreat she and her husband are hosting in Mexico
• Biomarkers, wearable tech, and gut health, plus, what tests could be missing from your doctor's routine (hint: sleep, vitamin deficiencies, and lung capacity matter more than you think!)

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. Join us inside Euphoric the Club, the premier community of successful, alcohol-free women (and the women who are becoming them), and apply for the next round of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program, which starts in TWO DAYS.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The alcohol-free movement leapt from taboo to trend and why NOT drinking is a modern status symbol, not a social stigma
• Jaw-dropping stats; for example, 25% of Americans haven't touched alcohol in the past year, and 50% plan to drink less
• The rise of alcohol-free beverages and how innovative brands and celebrities have turned not drinking into the coolest option in the room
• Why I think the alcohol-free movement is one of the biggest wellness trends for coming generations (plus, looking at the potential of YOUR influence on the people you know)

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.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• How ditching alcohol instantly gifts you $3,000–$8,000 a year (plus all the sneaky extra costs you're no longer burning away with every happy hour)
• Why even small, consistent investments made TODAY can snowball into 7-figures (and the massive wealth gap you create by starting now vs. putting it off)
• The investing gender gap, demystifying the stock market, and the one simple index fund strategy endorsed by history's most legendary investors
• The truth about hoarding cash, beating inflation, and why high-yield savings accounts are the modern woman's must-have
• Why investing in yourself yields the highest ROI and is the secret weapon of 88% of self-made millionaires

I went VIRAL. I've been saying this message 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 ditched alcohol in 2018, 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. Join the next round of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why I believe the universe hand selects certain women to reevaluate alcohol (because their purpose is colossal and world-changing!)
• The gifts that await alcohol-free living, from unstoppable motivation and deepened self-worth, to million-dollar ideas and unshakable intuition
• The truth about quitting forever and how to create new social circles and evolve old ones to fit your new life
• All the programs I offer to fit this new life, from Euphoric the Club to the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program

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.

Join the next round of the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program program.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• How Casey, a Fortune 500 exec, mom, and "wine girl," transformed Groundhog Day burnout into global impact with the Hello Someday podcast
• How going alcohol-free shakes up your whole identity and dials up the volume on your truest calling
• Casey's core values work: What are your core values? Where do they come from? Are they truly yours, or have they been inherited?
• The freedom that comes when you stop chasing other people's dreams and uncover what YOU actually want out of work and life

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.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why in-person retreats (not endless Zoom calls!) — are what I SWEAR by for transformational breakthroughs and launching 6-figure coaching businesses
• Behind the scenes at these retreats: exclusive pool parties, soul-anchoring rituals like the "Come As You'll Be" party, and the infamous red bracelet manifestation ritual
• Why an epic vision (not "safe" baby steps!) is essential if you want to become a sought-after thought leader
• Why alcohol-free living is only going to get bigger as time goes on, with 50% of Americans now saying they want to drink less or not at all
