As a former binge drinker for over 30 years, Kathryn coaches from lived experience and believes vulnerability and sharing our own stories are the most powerful tools in healing and finding a more balanced relationship with alcohol.

 

After giving up alcohol in July 2019 and working through an experience of breast cancer in 2020 Kathryn decided she wanted a change of career and studied to become an alcohol coach, where she has now found her true passion.

 

Self-belief is incredibly important when you push yourself into an area of vulnerability and change. It is about trusting your intuition, choosing who you surround yourself with and tapping into the collective consciousness of support and love that is always there for us.

 

It means being courageous, innovative and taking a risk. Throwing your heart and soul into an idea without any guarantees of success.

 

Launching my alcohol coaching business at the age of 49 in Australia was a huge step for me. The industry is not well known and I had to build my business slowly over time. I’ve continued to stay true to my niche and built up connection with my audience over the past 18 months. I had faith in my idea because I knew that I wanted support for my own drinking issue I couldn’t find it and so that a coach like me would appeal to a wide range of people.

 

I’m in that moment now. I’ve just had to close off taking any further 1:1 clients whilst I review my strategy for the next 12 months so that I can grown my business and conserve my energy. I’m looking at a hybrid model of group couching a couple of times per week with less 1:1 clients so that I can focus on doing some more media and advocacy work in the breast cancer/alcohol space.

 

Magic is found in everyday moments.

Don’t dismiss the power of the ordinary.
