Reinventing the Arena

Does the thought of meeting up for a first date without alcohol sound crazy?

How will you start a conversation, have fun or start flirting with another person without it?

If these two questions left you feeling uncomfortable, scared or even intimidated, you're not alone.

Drinking has become a right of passage into adulthood and the way we socialize, celebrate, and relax after a long work day. But have you ever wondered if it's helping you long term, including finding a healthy relationship?

In today's episode I have Alcohol-Free Empowerment Expert, business coach, and author Karolina Rzadkowolska joining me.

She’s been featured in Real Simple, the Huffington Post, Elite Daily, PopSugar, and numerous TV shows to talk about living an alcohol free lifestyle.

We talk about how alcohol impacts our relationship with others and with ourselves. How it can hold us back from our someday goals and dreams in every part of our lives. Plus, you'll hear Karolina's path to living alcohol free and how it changed her relationship with her husband.
