Karolina sits down with men's life coach Shea Boland to talk about emotional intelligence and feeling your feelings for deep inner work. Shea was enmeshed in drugs, alcohol, promiscuous sex, and materialism with a false sense of pride on the outside and miserable on the inside. His life transformed when he got sober, which was just the beginning of healing, vulnerable conversations, and his spiritual and personal growth which ultimately led him to become a coach. Today he holds space for men on hard topics and shows us how we can do the same. It was so refreshing to hear the male perspective on such deep emotional and spiritual growth, you won't want to miss this episode.

Courtney is the founder of Sober Vibes, an online support community for recovery and sober-curious women of all ages. Today on Euphoric the Podcast, she shares her entire story on how insecurity and people-pleasing led her to drink heavily in her 20s.

Until one day she had a message from her intuition and a moment of divine intervention. Since then, she's been rebuilding and healing herself, focusing on her personal growth, and creating new boundaries.

Tune in to learn how to take years of shame and turn it into your greatest gift.

Isn't making music and dancing primal and a way to elevate your consciousness not take it away?

And by going on that path, all the other doors opened up. Today I'm sharing why going alcohol-free will help you discover your bigger why and the SIX GIFTS that will help you go from feeling aimless to discovering your bigger purpose and passion.

Today, Ruari is the leader of a worldwide organization that links the challenge of taking a break with things like spartan races, mountain climbs, and doing something cool for your mental health. One Year No Beer, are you down for the challenge?
