In this powerful episode of Primary Purpose with Pej, we sit down with Kat B, a courageous mother and survivor whose life took a dark turn through addiction, trauma, and incarceration—but who fought her way back to light.

Born and raised in Orange County, Kat had every opportunity for a bright future. But the absence of her father created a deep emotional wound that led her into toxic relationships and substance abuse. Her addiction escalated from prescription pills to heroin, fentanyl, and meth—eventually landing her in a cycle of prostitution and a felony conviction.

Now 19 months sober and thriving in recovery, Kat opens up about the pain that fueled her addiction, the power of medication-assisted treatment, and her path to rebuilding her life, family, and identity.

This episode is a raw and redemptive journey through darkness to healing. If you’re struggling, know that hope is real—and recovery is possible.
