Euphoric Alcohol-Free episodes

March 12, 2019 Episode 11: Losing the Weight
This episode is a whodunnit - who made me gain all this weight?! Here's a clue: it was alcohol, in the kitchen, with the wine glass. Danielle and Karolina delve a little deeper into body image, weight loss/gain journeys, dieting and all the other fun things that float to the surface when you take alcohol out of the equation. Listen in as Karolina talks about going from "ballerina" to "bloated walrus" and Danielle discusses her journey with disordered eating and fad diets, and hear what it was like for them to finally realize alcohol was the main calorie culprit all along! Only to find acceptance and realized health without it.

February 26, 2019 Episode 10: Exercise
Danielle and I talk about the role of exercise in our alcohol-free lives. In the past, working out was something we felt we "should" do and a way we subconsciously offset our drinking. Now instead of "shoulding" ourselves, we gravitate towards exercise because it brings mental clarity and helps build our confidence in reaching other goals. Listening to our bodies and doing what feels natural surprisingly led us to run a half marathon and do early morning high intensity workout classes, amidst gentler activities like walking, yoga, and hikes.

What's it like to celebrate your one-year soberversary? Danielle kicks off this episode with her reflections on turning one and intentions for the year ahead, with Karolina's soberversary quickly approaching. Instead of avoiding things that are hard, we embrace the challenge.

January 03, 2019 Episode 6: The Sober Fish Dawn Comolly
Karolina and Danielle are so excited to have Dawn Comolly on the podcast this week. Dawn is the creator of Sober Fish, a site that empowers people towards an alcohol-free lifestyle with incredible stories of transformation. Dawn started her journey when she realized her party lifestyle was making her sick, tired, and miserable. She embarked on a one-year experiment to quit booze and cigarettes and documented her entire journey online. Six months in, she realized she was never going back to hangovers and regret again. We talk about her story, what it's like to go sober in the UK, and her reinvention as a happier and more radiant Dawn.
