Episode 3: Steven Kidwell — Music, Recovery & Rebuilding Life After Addiction

🎙️ EPISODE 3 — STEVEN KIDWELL Music, Recovery & Rebuilding Life After Addiction In this episode of the GITT Up Podcast, I sit down with Steven Kidwell — hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, and founder of A New Way to Live. From street life and addiction to prison, detox, and redemption, Steven’s journey is one of the powerful comeback stories coming out of the Appalachian recovery community. We talk about how poetry became an escape during a painful childhood, how it turned into hip-hop, and how addiction pulled him away from his passion and into a life that cost him everything. After getting clean and sober in 2016 through the Hope Program, Steven rebuilt his life, launched A New Way to Live sober living, and re-entered the music world with purpose, faith, and new possibilities. This conversation is raw and inspiring — touching on fatherhood, faith, trauma, entrepreneurship, street culture, relapse prevention, and what it takes to believe in yourself again after losing everything. If you’re in recovery, rising up in your career, or fighting for a comeback of your own, this episode will stay with you.
