Trigger warning: Domestic Violence
Imagine joining the police force to save lives and make a difference, only to get so bogged down in bureaucracy and rules that you are unable to do anything when called out to a suspected domestic violence incident.
Now imagine that the woman who called you out is found dead 6 months later.
That’s the experience of Jamie Pultz, who left the police force not long afterwards and went on to launch the podcast Beenham Valley Road to investigate the death of Kirra McLoughlin.

- The time he was called out to Kirra’s home
- How it felt after he was unable to do anything
- How he got into starting the podcast
- Why it’s so hard to prove psychological and other damage in suspected domestic abuse situations
- One of the positives that is helping with domestic violence
- The challenges he had in doing the podcast

- How his life has changed with podcasting
- What we should be doing to combat domestic violence
- The anxious thoughts he had about the whole podcast
- How he managed his self doubt

159 {Kathryn Elliott} I thought my binge drinking was normal
Challenges That Change Us
03/30/25 • 63 min
Try our FREE burnout quiz or grab your burnout workbook HERE.
Trigger warning: Alcohol
Australians have a complicated relationship with alcohol and it’s not helped by how we have created the idea that people only have problems with alcohol if they are complete alcoholics. The reality is that binge drinking and how we associate with alcohol is a lot more nuanced and a lot more destructive than we realise.
That is what Kathryn Elliot discovered when she made the decision to quit alcohol after decades of binge drinking.
Now, Kathryn is one of Australia’s leading alcohol and binge drinking coaches for high-functioning professionals, drawing from her own experience as a former binge drinker. Her expertise is regularly featured in national media, and she works with professionals to change their mindset around alcohol through tailored coaching programs. Kathryn also leads SipSmart corporate workshops on alcohol’s impact in the workplace and serves on advisory committees for alcohol awareness initiatives.
In this episode she shares:
- What was her life like before she made her big change
- What her drinking was like and why it was problematic
- The destructive narratives she had inside her head around her drinking
- How her drinking problems started from her youth
- How the 'good parts' about that aspect of her life reinforced her binge drinking
- The impact her drinking lifestyle had on her expectations of herself
- What one of her worst days during that time looked like
- What changed for her and why she changed
- The realisation she had about how it wasn’t her fault
- The big hurdles she had to overcome to live without alcohol
- The cancer diagnosis that further impacted her life shortly after she stopped drinking
- The changes and healing she has gone through recently
Key Quotes
“Sometimes blackout drinking...It would be embarrassing coming home to baby sitters who would see me in a very drunk state.”
“I didn’t realise that binge drinking was problematic drinking. So I thought there was something wrong with me.”
