become emboldened

Take out a pen and piece of paper. Write down what you want.

Don’t worry. Nobody’s going to see it. Can’t think of just one thing? Write it all – everything you want. The next step? Create this life where you get to have the things you want.

Today’s guest, Angela Pugh, is a master life coach, speaker, entrepreneur, and host of the nationally-ranked Addiction Unlimited podcast. In this episode, she shares an important realization she had on her journey to sobriety: that she was not the victim of her life, and that she needed to play a more active role in creating the life she wanted.

Beautiful, you are not a side character, and your desires are not selfish. YOU are the star of your own life, and you have the power to create your own reality!

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Angela’s story of sobriety, from bartending in Hollywood to her life-changing event that motivated her to cut bad habits and become a better person
• Progressive drinking – many people don’t drink “too much” when they first start but drink more and more as they grow older
• A realization Angela had while being a sober bartender – that people are most amazing when they’re in their right mind
• The idea of taking the life that’s unfolding in front of you vs. creating the life you want and taking personal responsibility for the life you’ve created
• Visualizing the person you want to be like when life gets difficult, from mothers to future selves to Oprah

You can start your career over. The hardest part? Giving yourself permission to do so.

So many people have this idea that they’re in too deep. They’ve invested too much time or schooling into something, and that it’s too late to start over. In this episode, Karolina talks with Chelsea Turgeon about how she pivoted from one of those professions most never pivot from – (a doctor!) – to start her own 6-figure business that allows her to travel the world.

Chelsea has been on the show before, but Karolina is bringing her back to share her personal journey. Even more fun is this episode was recorded in Norway where they’re traveling together! Chelsea talks about the sunk-cost fallacy, the future of the job industry, and the power of salvaging - not the past, but the future. 

Beautiful, there are so many “shoulds” in this life. You should have a white picket fence. You should have alcohol, because that’s what normal adults drink. You should be employed by a “stable” employer. But what’s more secure than owning your own financial independence?

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The sunk-cost fallacy, in which people are reluctant to abandon their careers because they’ve invested too much – and Chelsea’s better way to approach it
• Chelsea’s inspirational story: leaving her career as a doctor, buying a one-way ticket to South Korea, and launching her coaching business helping people find their dream careers
• Ways in which we normalize misery, and having the intentionality to step outside of that and ask some bigger questions like: why are we doing this?
• How to use what you’re currently doing to leverage time (and money) to start your new passions, plus the fallacy of “job security”
• The future of jobs, and how many won’t be recognizable to us today due to technology – and the importance of updating our thinking about what’s possible
• Tips and tricks to cover the cost of travel, from renting your house to staying in a place longer than a few days

Six months in prison changed everything for Jay Chase. 

Nobody messaged him and nobody missed him. The experience broke him open and was one of the biggest turning points in his life. From then on, Jay wanted to be the kind of person that somebody would miss.

Today, Karolina is breaking down the importance of evolving our identity when it comes to ditching alcohol. To become a non-drinker, we have to fully and completely claim that identity. Hear about the powerful Hierarchy of Change, the shifting identities we form as children and into adolescence, and why we need to get outside of our comfort zones to experience an evolution and transformation beyond our wildest dreams.

Karolina never thought of herself as an entrepreneur or an online coach. She never believed she would be an author one day either. But she evolved her identity into all of those things and more. Now, the idea of drinking just isn’t even an option anymore because alcohol is meaningless. 

If you're getting a nudge from the universe or your intuition that it’s time to change, listen to it! Everyone deserves to see how they feel without alcohol in their life.
