Ep. 53 Karolina Rzadkowolska | Navigating the Festive Season with Confidence: A Sober Socializing Guide
“But what about all the parties?” Today we’re chatting all about the challenging but rewarding world of sober socializing during the festive Christmas season. We had the pleasure of hosting Karolina Rzadkowolska, an alcohol-free empowerment expert and bestselling author of “Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You.”
Karolina’s expertise has helped thousands through her book and transformative programs, and her insights have graced numerous platforms, including the Huffington Post and the Goal Digger Podcast.
Karolina shared her personal journey from college party enthusiast to a fulfilled, alcohol-free life. She spoke candidly about the initial challenges of socializing without alcohol, especially as a self-described introvert. Her experiences led her to discover a profound sense of confidence and purpose, transcending beyond the temporary allure of alcohol-induced charisma. Karolina's story illustrated that embracing sobriety doesn't mean losing one's social life but rather rediscovering genuine connections and joy.
This episode is packed with practical advice for navigating holiday parties and social gatherings while remaining alcohol-free. Karolina emphasizes the importance of reframing our approach to social events, viewing them as opportunities for personal growth and genuine interaction.
She offers strategies for handling peer pressure and changing the narrative around alcohol, empowering listeners to see sobriety not as a limitation but as a superpower.
The discussion extends beyond the holiday season, touching on the transformative power of living a purpose-driven, alcohol-free life.
For a deeper dive into these empowering principles, don't forget to check out Karolina's book, “Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You,” available here.

Christy, a former lawyer with a background in law, business, and politics, experienced radical renewal after choosing sobriety. Now a senior sobriety coach and author of Love Life Sober (Penguin Random House), she helps women renew their minds and rediscover joy through a powerful blend of faith, neuroscience, and practical tools.
Meade, a former pharmaceutical rep and stay-at-home mom, looked like she had it all together—but felt stuck in a nightly-ish wine habit. Once she realized the issue was less about drinking and more about thinking, everything changed. Now a senior certified coach and creator of the Change-Your-Thinking-to-Change-Your-Drinking method and The Missing P.E.A.C.E. framework, Meade helps women ditch shame, reclaim purpose, and live with peace and joy.
Together, we create loving, Spirit-led spaces where women can explore their relationship with alcohol, renew their minds, and pursue the freedom they were made for.
Christy lives in Surrey, England; Meade outside Atlanta. We're just two women who surrendered our wine glasses, found something far better in Jesus, and now have the joy of helping others do the same.
