Rewired Sober with Kate Vitela
(Formerly You've Been Selected)

Rewired Sober is a column and podcast hosted by Sober Curator Contributor 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.
Let’s dive in.

New episodes drop every week—tune in, join the conversation, and step boldly into your next chapter.
