Episode 3: How Employers Can Raise Awareness of the Link Between Alcohol and Breast Cancer with Kathryn Elliott Professional Drinkers from Choose Sunrise
-
- Management
A very Happy New Year to all my listeners! In this early January 2023 episode, I touch upon my views as to why New Year’s Resolutions don’t work, and how you can get so much more value from choosing what you want more of in your life, instead. There’s also updates from some of the workplace Sober Curious Societies that I run and why it’s so important to support Dry January in the workplace. Guest speakers; alcohol free drink tasting; check your EAP; free resources – subscribe!
I’m delighted to welcome my first guest of 2023, Kathryn Elliott, who works as an alcohol mindset coach and is a passionate advocate of promoting understanding of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. Kathryn knows firsthand the fear and devastation that this diagnosis brings, and she draws upon her own experiences, both in the corporate world and as a survivor of breast cancer, to call out the need for better information and awareness. There are millions of women (and men) worldwide who drink alcohol and are unaware of the strong link between even moderate drinking and increased risk of breast cancer.
Of course, it’s not all down to employers to put this message out there; public health campaigns would ideally originate from governments. However, in the absence of meaningful action worldwide on this issue, employee wellbeing programmes are brilliantly positioned to start making changes in this space.
Do you have a different view? Or would you like to share how your workplace is supporting the sober curious? I’d love to air your views on the Podcast, so head to https://choosesunrise.co.uk/podcasts and complete the Be My Guest form.
More About Kathryn Elliott
Six weeks into her alcohol-free life in 2019 Kathryn Elliott was suddenly thrown a curveball when she discovered a large lump in her breast while getting dressed to race out the door to work. She instinctually knew something wasn’t right and two days later was diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer. Within a week she started an intense 6-month program of chemotherapy. Kath is now living cancer free and has a successful alcohol coaching business - The Alcohol Mindset Coach. As a former binge drinker for over 30 years, she coaches from lived experience and believes vulnerability and sharing our stories is one of the most powerful tools in healing and finding a more balanced relationship with alcohol. Kathryn works with men and women who want to look more closely at and change their mindset around alcohol, particularly those who identify as following healthy lifestyle principles but also have a problematic binge drinking history that they are struggling to shake. Her unique binge drinking breakthrough coaching programs have been developed to specifically address and disrupt long term binge drinking behaviour. Kath is based in Melbourne where she lives with her husband of 20 years, Paul and their three sons (Oscar 17, Tom 16 and Hugo 14) and much-loved golden English cocker spaniel, Ralph.
