Episode 192: Cutting “Normal” Relationships With Alcohol to Reach Your Unbottled Potential with Amanda Kuda

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.

IN THIS EPISODE:


Amanda’s story, including her relationship with alcohol,
starting from when she was a teenager and followed by her “Carrie
Bradshaw” lifestyle in her 20s and 30s

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
