Kathryn Elliott: Legend of Alcohol Freedom
Let me introduce you to The Alcohol Mindset Coach Kathryn Elliott, Australia’s leading Alcohol Mindset Coach and advocate for Breast Cancer Awareness.
This episode is released coincidentally during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Kath has her own shocking story about breast cancer, and the hidden links between breast cancer and alcohol consumption in women. Kath has risen like a Phoenix from the Fire to shine a light on such links in her home of Australia and reveals this to the general public. Kath is frank and generous in sharing her binge-drinking journey, recovery and reinvention, and also shares with us beautiful stories of solidarity, with friends and clients, when they can’t find their way into optimistic stories for themselves. I was lucky enough to have been one of the people she held a vision for as she coached me through my own recovery from binge drinking (ongoing). Kath is a woman who stewards people through their recovery and who stewarded herself through science, psychology and the spiritual to health and happiness. She is honest about the bad days too - they’ll be now love and light-washing or spiritual bypass with Kath, yet she is a light. And she is also a soft dark place to land if you need help.

In this episode you’ll hear:
- How Kath started binge drinking in her teens and was essentially rewarded for being ‘one of the lads’ and a ‘Legend’ for being able to drink so much
- How she was sure she would stop binge drinking in some mysterious future like ‘When she had kids’ yet for her there was no hitting ‘bottom’, but she was in danger…
- The shocking discovery she made shortly after quitting drinking for good, the empowered choices she made, and the silenced links to cancer she discovered
- The joy she now finds in being alcohol free, how she holds visions for friends and clients and how her mindset and curiosity boosted her on her journey of recovery…
