## Resource

In this episode of Rewired Sober , host Kate Vitela, RN sits down with Dawn Nickel , founder of SHE RECOVERS , to explore what women’s recovery looks like when we stop forcing it into one narrow definition. SHE RECOVERS is a global nonprofit dedicated to making recovery accessible, inclusive, and empowering for all women —not just those recovering from substance use, but women healing from mental health challenges, trauma, eating disorders, burnout, and the many ways life impacts the nervous system. In this powerful conversation, Dawn shares: Why SHE RECOVERS was created as a nonprofit focused on accessible recovery for women How an intersectional approach honors race, LGBTQ+ identities, lived experience, and cultural context Why “we are all recovering from something” is more than a slogan—it’s a truth rooted in women’s biology and social conditioning The importance of allowing the whole woman into recovery spaces, without fragmenting her experiences Dawn’s personal journey with workaholism and how socially acceptable addictions often go unnamed Why traditional recovery models that insist on “no outside issues” often fail women This episode challenges the idea that women must separate their struggles into neat categories to deserve support. Instead, it offers a model of recovery that understands trauma, mental health, substance use, overwork, and identity as interconnected—not competing narratives. If you’ve ever felt like traditional recovery spaces didn’t fully see you, this conversation will resonate deeply. Because healing doesn’t happen in pieces. And women don’t recover in isolation Connect with Kate at Rewired Sober on All Social Media Platforms Book a Discovery Call with Kate: https://calendly.com/katevitelacoaching/deep-dive-1-1-w-kate Email the Podcast: katev…
