She instinctually knew something wasn’t right and two days later was diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer. Within a week she’d been through 15 medical appointments, numerous scans, a small operation and started an intense 6-month program of chemotherapy.Kath is passionate about building awareness about the deeper human connection you can achieve through sharing your experience of illness and trauma and how choosing to remain alcohol free during this period was a catalyst to further healing and growth.Kath is now living cancer free and started two new businesses during the Covid lockdowns in Melbourne in 2021 - The Alcohol Mindset Coach and My Breast Friend, both were inspired by her experience and learnings from breast cancer.
