October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This week I have my lovely fellow coach Kath Elliott sharing her story about her binge drinking & personal experience with breast cancer

Kath's story is an inspiring testament to the positive
changes that can result from making mindful choices in life.

Episode Highlights:

Kath discusses two defining moments that led her to
reevaluate her relationship with alcohol.

She shares her realisation that binge drinking, even if
not frequent, was causing problems in her life.

Kath describes her decision to join the Live July
alcohol experiment with "This Naked Mind" and her journey towards an
alcohol-free life.

The misconception that only daily drinkers have drinking
problems is addressed.

Kath reflects on the cultural aspects that contributed
to her binge drinking during her formative years.

She discusses the positive reinforcement she received
for her ability to drink heavily and the negative consequences she experienced,
including memory loss and regrettable behaviour.

Kath dispels the myth that her drinking habits were not
problematic because they weren't weekly occurrences.

The importance of awareness regarding the link between
alcohol consumption and breast cancer is emphasised.

Kath shares her breast cancer diagnosis and how it
motivated her to research the connection between alcohol and breast cancer.

The lack of public health campaigns in Australia addressing the link
between alcohol and breast cancer is highlighted.

Kath shares insights from her research on how even light
to moderate drinking can increase breast cancer risk.

She recommends the "Drink Less for Your
Breasts" website as a valuable resource for education and information on
this topic.

Kath's journey towards recovery and her commitment to
breast cancer advocacy are discussed.

The importance of regular self-checks and early breast
cancer detection is emphasized, along with tips for conducting self-exams.

Kath reflects on her post-recovery life, her sense of
appreciation, and her commitment to living in the present.

She encourages individuals to make conscious choices
regarding alcohol consumption to reduce their breast cancer risk.

Kath highlights the need for increased awareness of the
link between alcohol and breast cancer among women.

She shares her experiences and personal growth after
giving up alcohol and how her life has improved in numerous ways.

Kath's journey from binge drinking to empowering choices
serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-awareness and informed
decisions regarding alcohol consumption, particularly in light of the potential
risks to our health.
