Episode 234: Won’t I Be the Odd One Out?!
Our sense of belonging and acceptance has been tied to alcohol for so long.
But you have the power to reshape your life, influence your community, and live with radical fulfillment. There are SO many people in the world who are putting their dreams first and not just living for the weekend to drink.
Who are the five people that you see the most? Do you want their life? Or do you want something bigger, something more, something that isn't so mundane?
Karolina shares tons of practical tips for transforming your social life and finding new, vibrant communities and friendships that don't revolve around drinking.
We also cover the dangers of perception bias, the psychology behind our need to belong, and how we can become a “wolf” and inspire others to redefine their relationships with alcohol too.
You’re not just ditching a drink—you’re embracing leadership, taking a brave stance, and redefining what belonging truly means!
Twice a year, the Euphoric community comes together for a 22 day no-alcohol-challenge, and we start our next Dry Bootcamp August 6th!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Reflect on the five people you spend the most time with. How do their habits and lifestyles influence your decisions and sense of belonging? Do you feel aligned with their values, or are there aspects you'd like to change?
“You create belonging and meaning everywhere you go with your other affinities and your value system. It is not tied to a beverage in a glass.”- Karolina Rzadkowolska
“If you're doing this alone and everybody drinks around you, you're with the wrong crowd. There's so many people who are living a growth lifestyle, who are putting their dreams first and not just living for the weekend to drink after a crappy week of doing something that isn't fulfilling to them.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
