In this inspiring episode of Pain with a Purpose, we sit down with Katie—originally from South Jersey—who opens up about her journey from addiction to transformation.

What began as a routine surgery in her teenage years quickly spiraled into a full-blown opioid addiction. Prescribed painkillers at just 15, Katie found herself trapped in a cycle that lasted into her late 20s. But through a moment of clarity and the courage to accept help, Katie began to rebuild her life—piece by piece.

Today, Katie is not only living sober, but thriving. She has regained the trust of her family, built a powerful circle of women in recovery, and is pursuing a meaningful career helping others overcome addiction.

This is more than a story about substance use—it's a story of strength, sisterhood, and second chances.
