Episode 316: Is Binge Drinking More Dangerous Than You Think? with Colleen Clifford
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of alcohol-related suicide. Please listen with care. Colleen Clifford lost her husband to alcohol, but it took years and a handful of wild card moments for her to confront her own relationship with drinking. 95% of the time? She felt in control. 5% of the time, something flipped. A split-second decision, a blackout, or a version of herself she didn’t fully recognize. Today, we’re talking about the psychology of the wild card, why “mostly fine” can still cost you your integrity, and the moment Colleen decided she would never again...

Episode 315: The Dirty Truth About Social Drinking: Why 'Everything in Moderation' Is BS with Hadley Sorensen
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Hadley Sorensen didn’t stop drinking four years ago because everything fell apart. She quit because something felt off, even though from the outside, her drinking looked completely normal. That intuitive hit led her to do what only 1% of people ever do – write the book she couldn’t find: . Hadley talks about how she is dismantling the toxic narratives around “mommy wine juice culture” which can keep you stuck in shame, and the belief that you need a dramatic reason to quit. You don’t need to keep doing something that makes you feel like crap just because everyone else is....

Episode 311: What Actually Happens to Your Body in 31 Days Without Alcohol
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
What happens to your gut when you stop drinking? Your skin? Your liver, your heart, your blood pressure, your brain’s gray matter? My personal hot take is that if pharmaceutical companies could bottle the effects of being alcohol-free, it would solve most diseases and chronic issues people have today, because the before and after difference of drinking and not drinking is INSANE. When I went alcohol-free, I not only felt and looked better, but I saw major changes in my biometrics, including my blood pressure and cholesterol, which were not what I thought they should be in my 20s and 30s. In...

Episode 310: Sugar Cravings, Boredom, and Other Weird Dry January Effects
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Why does eliminating alcohol suddenly make you crave sugar like Cookie Monster, struggle with sleep (though everyone swears you’ll snooze like a baby), or find yourself existentially bored? These aren’t signs that Dry January “isn’t working.” They’re signs that your nervous system, hormones, and dopamine pathways are recalibrating. I talk a lot about the incredible benefits of going alcohol-free: the confidence, the creativity, the clarity, and the INSANE biological changes. But some of these benefits take time. If this is your first Dry January or you’ve had a very “wet”...

Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Becoming a thought leader is an amazing business move, no matter your industry – but how do you actually BECOME a thought leader?

It’s all about intentional positioning. Today’s episode is about how to take that quantum leap in your career. We start with the basics — what thought leadership actually is (and what it’s not), and then move into how to use...
info_outlineHow do you go from corporate burnout and nightly wine to hosting one of the top sober podcasts in the world?
Casey Davidson is one of the biggest names in the alcohol-free community. After a ‘just take a break’ experiment from drinking during her Fortune 500 career, she discovered a new calling – one that grew into a thriving coaching business that inspires thousands of high-achieving women every day, AND the chart-topping Hello Someday podcast.
This is a joint episode, so you’ll hear us both share how our alcohol-free journeys accelerated our careers into this beautiful industry, opening the door to more passion, meaning, and fulfillment in our careers and lives.
We talk about what it really takes to build a podcast brand from scratch, the surprising fears she had to overcome (yes, even worrying if life coaching was “a real job”), and why quitting alcohol is a process of “unbecoming”, unlocking courage, clarity, and fulfillment you didn’t even know you were missing.
So many people think of life coaching as a pipe dream, but if you’ve ever thought ‘maybe there’s more for me than this,’ it’s time to find out.
