Welcome back , Phoenix'

This episode wasn’t planned—it was divinely delivered.

I share the raw, real truth of what it looked like to become a trauma-informed Master Coach while still healing from the inside out. I coached over 50 women for free before I ever made a dime—and every session cracked me open just as much as it helped someone else rise.

I didn’t just survive my “perfect storm”—I let it burn off everything that no longer belonged.

From courtrooms and closed bank accounts to six-mile walks, belly laughs, and singing again at the top of my lungs... this is the story of healing, right on time.

You’ll hear one of the most powerful mindset tools from my mentor, Dr. Paul Jenkins, and a reminder that strength doesn’t come from skipping the fire—it comes from staying in it.

Because healing doesn’t happen when you're ready.
It happens when you're willing.

When Silence Isn’t Peace — It’s Punishment

What if the quiet wasn’t calm… but control?

In this powerful Season 1 finale, Vicki Lou-Ann cracks open the truth about one of the most insidious forms of emotional abuse: the silent treatment.

It’s not someone needing space.
It’s not "cooling off."
It’s psychological warfare.

From earbuds ripped out in disgust to years of being erased by silence, Vicki shares the raw moments that nearly stole her voice—and the fiery decision to take it back.

If you've ever questioned your worth in the face of emotional starvation...
If you’ve been punished for speaking up or made to feel invisible…
This episode is your mirror. Your mic. Your medicine.

Plus—Vicki reveals the book she wrote (then shelved for 15 years)... and why now, she’s rewriting it. Louder. Braver. Unapologetically.

Hit play. Let the tears come. And if it hits home—share it with someone ready to find her voice too.

This one’s personal.

In this episode, I take you into the moment my body stopped whispering and started screaming. From a wheelchair to walking again, from collapsing under pressure to finally learning how to listen—this is my rawest truth yet.

We explore what Bessel van der Kolk meant when he wrote, “The body keeps the score.” Because trauma doesn’t just haunt your memories—it hijacks your nervous system, your breath, your digestion, your entire being.

I share the chapter of my story where I pushed too hard, spiraled into shutdown, and finally discovered that healing isn’t just mindset work—it’s a full-body homecoming.

If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your body, confused by the pain you can’t explain, or ready to believe in your own restoration again… this one’s for you.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Time heals all wounds.” But what if that’s the biggest lie keeping us stuck? In this episode, Vicki Lou-Ann Irwin pulls the veil back on one of the most damaging myths in trauma recovery and explains why waiting doesn’t equal healing. If you’ve been silently hoping that time alone would dull the pain, this episode offers a tender but powerful truth: healing doesn’t happen by accident—it happens on purpose.

You’ll walk away with clarity, permission to feel, and three reflection prompts to help you shift from waiting to rising.
Time won’t save you. But you can.

You’ve heard that trauma lives in the mind. But what if I told you... it also lives in your skin? Your shoulders? Your gut?

In this episode of Shattered But Unbreakable, I’m peeling back the layers on where trauma actually hides—and how it shows up in your everyday life, even when you think you’ve moved on.

We’ll talk about:

• Why you flinch at loud noises or obsess over closet doors

• How people-pleasing might be your nervous system’s survival mode

• The powerful connection between gut health, blood sugar, and trauma recovery

• And how to start releasing what your body’s been holding (I’ll guide you step-by-step)

This one isn’t just insightful—it’s deeply embodied. And don’t worry, I’ll walk you through each tool with spoken instructions you can use immediately.

If you’ve been carrying your pain in silence, this is your moment to start letting it go—one breath, one hum, one soft exhale at a time.

Hit play. Your body remembers... and it’s ready to heal.
