- EP 1. Kate’s Story Part 1 "Body Image, Booze, and the ‘Pick Me’ Trap"
In this episode of "You Been Selected," Kate dives into her struggles with body image, eating disorders, and the need for external validation that led her down the path of being a "pick me girl." She opens up about how these experiences ultimately paved the way for her reliance on alcohol.
This raw and honest conversation explores:
- Battling self-worth issues tied to body image.
- The intersection of disordered eating and control.
- How the search for validation can lead to self-destruction.
- The pivotal moment when alcohol became her escape.

34 min - Rewired Sober: The Next Chapter: Conversations on Style, Identity, Midlife & The Art of EvolvingWelcome to Rewired Sober: The Next Chapter
This podcast has evolved.
What began as conversations about sobriety has grown into something much bigger: honest discussions about psychology, identity, style, beauty, neuroscience, midlife, and the lifelong process of becoming ourselves.
I'm Kate Vitela—a psychiatric nurse, speaker, and someone who's endlessly fascinated by why we change, how we heal, and what it means to build a life that actually feels like our own.
Yes, we'll still talk about sobriety. It will always be part of my story. But we'll also explore fashion as self-expression, women's mental health, confidence, burnout, relationships, creativity, culture, and the psychology behind the choices we make every day.
If you've ever reinvented yourself—or wanted to—you're in the right place.
Welcome to Rewired Sober: The Next Chapter.
I'm so glad you're here.

About Rewired Sober: The Next Chapter
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Rewired Sober: The Next Chapter—a podcast about what happens after survival.
I'm Kate Vitela, a psychiatric nurse with more than twenty-five years of nursing experience, speaker, and lifelong student of human behavior. For years, this podcast focused on alcohol, addiction science, and recovery. Those conversations changed lives—including my own—but something became increasingly clear.
The longer I worked with women, the less we talked about alcohol.
We talked about burnout. Identity. Midlife. Relationships. Confidence. Beauty. Careers. Boundaries. Self-worth. Style. The invisible expectations placed on women. The stories we inherited. And the courage it takes to become ourselves.
That's what this next chapter is about.
Here, we'll explore the psychology of identity, the neuroscience of behavior change, fashion and personal style, beauty, aging, feminism, emotional health, self-concept, and what it really means to evolve throughout our lives.
You'll hear conversations with psychologists, stylists, artists, authors, neuroscientists, entrepreneurs, nurses, and women who have reinvented themselves more than once. We'll ask better questions than "How do I fix myself?" Instead, we'll ask, "Who am I becoming?" and "What kind of life am I creating?"
Sobriety will always be part of my story. Getting sober in 2018 fundamentally changed the trajectory of my life, my nursing career, and my understanding of the human mind. Recovery taught me emotional literacy, humility, curiosity, and resilience. It will always shape the way I see the world, but it is no longer the only lens through which I want to explore it.
Because recovery isn't the destination.
It's the foundation.
Whether you're rebuilding after addiction, navigating midlife, questioning your career, redefining your style, learning to trust yourself again, or simply fascinated by why humans do what we do, you're in the right place.
Around here, you'll find conversations about:
Psychology and neuroscience
Women's mental health and emotional well-being
Identity, self-concept, and personal reinvention
Fashion, personal style, and beauty as forms of self-expression
Midlife, confidence, and aging with intention
Feminism, culture, and the pressures women navigate
Behavior change, habits, and resilience
Creativity, curiosity, and lifelong learning
Sobriety and recovery as part of a much bigger story
This isn't a podcast about becoming perfect.
It's about becoming more fully yourself.
So whether you've been here since episode one or you're just finding us now, thank you for being part of this community.
The goal was never simply to stop drinking.
The goal was always to build a life that feels honest, meaningful, creative, beautiful, and completely your own.
Welcome to the next chapter.
