Kat’s Powerful Life Beyond Addiction

Recovery is not only about leaving addiction behind. It is about discovering who you are, rebuilding your strength, and creating a life that gives you reasons to keep moving forward.

Kat returns to Conversations with Rich Bennett after sharing the most-listened-to story from the 2025 Podathon for Recovery. This time, she discusses launching Simply Serenity Apparel, a recovery-inspired brand designed to help people recognize and connect with others in the recovery community.

Kat also opens up about complex PTSD, dissociation, disrupted hunger cues, and the work she is doing to heal her nervous system. She explains how strength training, therapy, meditation, nutrition, creativity, and motherhood have become important parts of her continued recovery.

In this episode, you will hear:

•  How Simply Serenity Apparel creates connections within recovery 
•  Why fitness can support mental and emotional healing 
•  How trauma can affect hunger and other physical signals 
•  Why Kat refuses to sacrifice authenticity for professional success 
•  Her message for anyone attempting recovery alone 

This episode includes a message from Rage Against Addiction about its monthly donor program beginning at 26:01.
