There doesn’t need to be anything exceptional about your relationship with alcohol to want to change it.
Today’s guest is Amanda Kuda, whose career has mirrored Karolina’s since she began her alcohol-free journey. At the time, they were some of the only women talking about being alcohol-free in a totally different way – not from the perspective of hitting rock-bottom, but from an intuitive choice.
Amanda’s book comes out this week – Unbottled Potential: Break Up With Alcohol and Break Through Your Best Life – which is so good Karolina read it one sitting! Amanda is a powerhouse in the alcohol-free space, and she has some incredible wisdom and lessons to share about how to embody your full spiritual self.

- The herd mentality of alcohol – how it facilitates the masks we wear to fit in – and Amanda’s realizations about her friends, career, and life
- What it was like for Amanda to begin dating at 31 without alcohol – and how vulnerability and curiosity opened her up to joyful and productive dates (check out Episode 25 for more of Amanda’s perspectives on alcohol-free dating!)
- How Amanda’s spiritual journey and inner child work deepened, plus the role the pandemic had on all kinds of awakenings for people, and the future of health and spirituality
- How to be bold and brave in pursuing authentic, wholehearted, and growth-oriented friendships (and how Amanda ditched surface-level conversations in favor of more meaningful connections)
- The two most powerful books Amanda read that had the most impact on her transformative journey
