Hosted by psychiatric nurse, addiction specialist, and recovery coach Kate Vitela, RN, this podcast explores the neuroscience of addiction, emotional sobriety, mindset change, and the messy, honest reality of rebuilding your life after quitting drinking.

It’s real conversations about: women and alcohol gray area drinking anxiety and emotional regulation perfectionism and people pleasing cravings and habit loops neuroplasticity and brain rewiring identity in midlife anger, grief, and healing creativity, fashion, and self-expression in recovery relationships, boundaries, and self-trust learning how to feel your feelings without numbing them Kate combines clinical insight, lived experience, humor, and a feminist lens to help women understand why they drink, not just how to stop.

In this episode, I sit down with Susi Glenna Milne to talk about creativity not as a hobby—but as a lifeline in recovery. We get into what happens after you stop drinking and realize… okay, now I actually have to feel my life. And instead of numbing out, what if you created your way through it? We talk about how creativity in sobriety and recovery: brings you back online when everything feels flat gives you language for emotions you didn’t even know you had rebuilds self-respect, not just self-control connects you to community in a way that actually sticks Because recovery isn’t just about removing alcohol. It’s about building a life that feels worth staying for. And let’s be clear about something— Art is not reserved for a select, tortured, gallery-approved few. It’s accessible. It’s human. It’s yours. Everyone is an artist. Not in a cheesy “everyone gets a gold star” way— but in a real, grounded, you have something inside of you that needs expression kind of way. We talk about breaking down gatekeeping and elitism in the art world, and why creativity in sobriety and recovery isn’t about being good… It’s about being honest . We also go there on bigger cultural conversations— Like why women have historically been left out of the arts, had to fight harder for recognition, and are still reclaiming space in creative leadership. We talk about Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first female creative director at Dior, and her documentary Her Dior—and why that matters more than people think. We get into feminist punk energy, rebellion, and why creating—especially as a woman in recovery—is a quiet (and sometimes loud) act of resistance. Yes, even against the current cultural climate that can fee…","meta_description":"What if the thing you’ve been calling boredom in sobriety… is actually a lack of expression?
