Why Listen?
This podcast is all about hitting rock bottom, finding your purpose, and discovering that sometimes, what feels like the end is really just the beginning.
I’m Kate Vitela—a nurse, coach, and someone who got a second chance when I thought there were no more chances left. After being mandated into a monitoring program, I realized that I wasn’t just here to survive—I was here to grow, change, and help others do the same. Now, I bring together the science of addiction, the truth about mental health, and the raw reality of recovery, mixing it with humor and a whole lot of heart.
Here, there’s no fluff, just real talk. No matter where you are on your journey, I’m that friend in your ear—here to inspire, relate, and support you as you discover what’s possible in sobriety and self-discovery.
