Kathryn Elliott's Journey: Quitting Alcohol and Battling Breast Cancer

It's the reconnection with yourself and also just the love of yourself as well, like I really found it.
Life threw Kathryn Elliott some serious curveballs, but she faced them head-on. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with Kathryn, an ex-binge drinker, breast cancer survivor, and now a sober coach and business owner. Imagine deciding to quit alcohol, only to discover a large lump in your breast shortly after. That’s exactly what happened to Kathryn in 2019.
Instead of turning back to alcohol, she chose to stay sober and fully experience the highs and lows of her journey. Kathryn opens up about how quitting alcohol affected her relationships, from friendships to her marriage. It's a massive shift when alcohol has been a big part of your social life and time with your partner. She candidly discusses the strain it can put on relationships and the longing for your partner to join you on this path.
Kathryn also touches on the alarming link between alcohol and breast cancer, shedding light on some eye-opening facts that might make you rethink that next drink. Beyond her personal story, she shares tips on self-love, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care. She even talks about her involvement with 'The Naked Mind' coaching program and her efforts to raise awareness about the connection between alcohol and breast cancer in Australia.
Tune in for an episode that's not just inspiring but also packed with practical advice for anyone looking to quit alcohol and lead a healthier life.
