027: The Truth About Addiction: Katherine Sorensen's Recovery and Business Story

Anne and Matt sit down with Katherine Sorensen — entrepreneur, recovery advocate, and founder of multiple multimillion-dollar behavioral health facilities — for a raw and deeply human conversation about transformation, faith, and building purpose-driven success from rock bottom.
Katherine opens up about her journey from a double life in high school, to addiction and self-destruction, to discovering faith, recovery, and eventually founding Laguna Shores Behavioral Health in California. Together, the trio explores what it really means to do “the work,” how pain becomes purpose, and why real success comes from building a life you no longer need to escape.
