Katherine “Kat” Straughn is the founder of Chains to Changed, a global online recovery community helping people break free from addiction and build lives they no longer want to escape.
After finding freedom through faith, she turned her pain into purpose—owning three treatment centers in Southern California, including Laguna Shores Recovery in Dana Point.
With over a decade of sobriety, Kat now coaches high-achieving professionals who have gone from sober to stuck, guiding them to thrive in purpose & passion. She’s dedicated to helping others discover healing, hope, and a life beyond their wildest dreams.
Kat lives in Southern California with her husband, Zack, and five dogs (Winston, Poncho, Cowboy, Charlie Brown and Oreo), and believes that when the chains break, your comeback becomes your calling.
