Australia's Elephant in the Room
Manage episode 454879359 series 3579103
This episode dives into the deeply ingrained culture of alcohol in our workplaces and society. I’m joined by Kathryn Elliott, an alcohol-free coach from Melbourne, as we unpack how normalised drinking impacts health, productivity, and personal relationships.
Kathryn shares her own powerful story, including her journey to sobriety and the eye-opening link between alcohol and breast cancer—something rarely discussed but critically important.
We also discuss how businesses can shift away from alcohol-focused events and create inclusive spaces that don’t rely on booze for bonding.
Whether you’re curious about mindful drinking or rethinking workplace traditions, this conversation offers practical advice and fresh perspectives to inspire change.
