24 | Hypnotism and Addiction Recovery with Kat Shinoda

In this episode, I’m joined by Kat Shinoda, a fellow sober sister, Certified Hypnotist and Health Coach from Collegeville, Pennsylvania. As the owner of Your Life Depot Hypnosis and Coaching, Kat has built a thriving practice dedicated to helping people break free from limiting beliefs and step into their full potential. Her coaching services provide holistic support in key areas like nutrition, fitness, stress management, and lifestyle transformation—addressing both the physical and mental aspects of well-being. Tune is as Kat and I explore: • the progressive nature of both addiction AND recovery, which often leaves individuals asking “How did I end up here?” • why relapse doesn’t negate lessons learned during periods of sobriety • abstinence from substance use not as an end-all-be-all, but a launching pad • the role of neuroplasticity in the addiction recovery process • demystifying hypnotism - what is it and how it helps • how the conscious and unconscious mind affect the healing process • Kat’s personal journey into sobriety and how hypnotism helped shift her fear-based, limiting beliefs Connect with Chelsea Anderson on Instagram Connect with Kat Shinoda on Instagram
