Have you ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of binge drinking, weighed down by the shame and embarrassment that comes with it? We've been there, and so has Kath Elliott, the Alcohol Mindset Coach. In a candid conversation, Kath allows us to peek into her four-year journey of sobriety, highlighting some uncomfortable yet transformative moments. She takes us back to her teenage years when she was applauded for her drinking prowess and how a family vacation led her to make a life-altering decision. 

Kath also brings our attention to the often overlooked connection between alcohol consumption and the increased risk of breast cancer. Even more alarming is how celebrities glamorising alcohol can influence many of us to dismiss the risks.

Finally, Kath and Bella discuss the benefits of engaging an alcohol coach with a lived experience of problematic drinking.  This episode isn't just about the perils of alcohol but also about finding hope and liberation beyond it. So join us as we unravel the complex relationship between alcohol, breast health, and Australia's workplace drinking culture.

Have you ever felt the pressure of societal messages encouraging you to reward yourself with a drink or unwind with alcohol at the end of a long day? Join us as we sit down with certified This Naked Mind alcohol coach, Allison Schwent, who shares her personal journey with alcohol. From her early days as a gymnast, through college, marriage, and becoming a parent, Allison takes us through the ups and downs of her relationship with alcohol, and how she found a path to sobriety.

Now a sobriety coach herself, she introduces her new venture, The Inside Out Freedom, and encourages others to join her free weekly zoom meeting, Community Connection Call. This episode serves as a testament to the power of resilience and the possibilities that emerge when we confront our struggles head-on.

Sally McGrath, Founder of Health That Heals, talks to She's Sober Sydney about her own burnout story and the tried and tested strategies that she personally implemented to regain her work-life balance. Sally beat burnout not once, twice but thrice and it was after the third time that Sally remained burnout free. Sally worked 25 years in the corporate sphere and knows first-hand the pressures that trying to balance a high-pressure career and personal life involve. Burnout is on the rise, it can sneak up on you and can take a long time to recover from. Alcohol and burnout frequently go hand in hand and is used by many to cope with impending burnout only to exacerbate burnout symptoms and prolong recovery. We cover what the warning signs of burnout are, practical steps to take in order to avoid burnout and guidance on what you should do if you are experiencing the signs of burnout and are looking for support to regain life balance.

Maz Compton, host of the Last Drinks podcast, talks about the launch of her new book,  Last Drinks. Looking back, Maz never would have imagined that she'd become a public advocate promoting the benefits of an alcohol free life in Australia.  8 years on since her last drink, Maz is doing that just that. She is a trailblazing force in Australia's sober movement, utilising her podcast and new book to interview Australian celebrities, experts and everyday people on their choice to live life alcohol-free.  Maz's down-to-earth, non-judgemental, relatable approach infused with humour and personal experience has been an inspiration to many to take a break from alcohol or at least to question the role that they would like alcohol play in their life. Here we discuss, why Maz gave up alcohol in 2015, what she loves the most about her sober life and what her new Last Drinks book means to her. Last Drinks is out now.

On this episode of SSS, we speak with Beth. Beth is an Integrative Nutrition & certified This Naked Mind coach, bioenergetics practitioner, extroverted-introvert, single mama, feminist, yogi. Her passion is helping mindful women, especially those in the wellness sector, re-examine their relationship with alcohol, and figure out how they can truly nourish themselves and live a more connected, joy-filled life.
