Episode 23 –

When the hits don’t stop coming and the mask won’t stay on, it’s time for truth.
Coach Vicki Lou-Ann opens up about exhaustion, divorce after a certain age, and the raw, hilarious, holy mess of starting again. From financial free-fall to friendship fallout, she calls out the labels, the loneliness, and the lies women are fed about being “too late.”

Featuring “Warrior” by Alita Langford — a song for every woman who rose again after thinking she was done.

💛 You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
💛 You’re not behind. You’re rebirthing.
💛 You’re not a threat. You’re a survivor learning peace.

🎙️ Listen, laugh, and rise with Vicki Lou-Ann.

When the hand that once held yours starts holding your head under water, you stop calling it love — and start calling it what it is. In this raw, unfiltered episode, Vicki Lou-Ann rips the veil off financial sabotage — the silent, paper-trail form of abuse that steals breath, stability, and self-worth one signature at a time. With “Warrior” by Alita Langford setting the tone, Vicki speaks to every woman who’s ever trusted too deeply, signed too quickly, or been told “this is just how marriage works.” She opens her heart about learned behaviors, her mother’s unspoken lessons, and how generational obedience disguises itself as love — until one day, you realize you’ve been drowning in it. Through truth, faith, and fire, she shows how to name the abuse, break the script, and reclaim the power you were taught to surrender. If you’ve ever handed over your power “in the name of love” and now find yourself clawing for air, this episode will find you, hold you, and remind you —

💛 You’re not crazy.

💛 You’re not greedy.

💛 You’re not done.

You’re a Phoenix, and it’s time to breathe again.

🎙️ Featuring “Warrior” by Alita Langford, shared with gratitude and permission.

Everyone thought he was charming.
Funny.
Smooth like silk.

But behind closed doors, the man everyone loved was the same man we all feared.

In this first episode of Shattered but Unbreakable, I share the unfiltered truth about growing up in a home ruled by secrets, silence, and generational abuse. From childhood sexual abuse to violence no one on the outside could have imagined, this is my story—spoken raw, with courage, and with the hope that it sparks healing in others.

You’ll also hear how abuse isn’t always loud—it’s often hidden in whispers, shame, and silence. I’ll guide you through a trauma-informed reflection exercise, offering a grounding affirmation you can carry with you: “These were never my wounds to carry. This pain is not my identity.”

This isn’t just storytelling. It’s a call to awareness.
Because awareness doesn’t just open eyes—it saves lives.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence. Please listen with care.

Nobody remembers the easy win. What we carry forever are the comebacks. From David vs. Goliath, to Robin Hood, Moses, The Replacements, and the ultimate outlaw — Jesus himself — every story points to this truth: the underdog was never finished. In this finale, I share my own Phoenix comeback story and why the ashes were never the end.

It’s not talent. It’s not size. It’s not money. The true weapon of the underdog is resilience — and the right people. Frodo had Sam, Harry had his friends, Muggsy Bogues had teammates who trusted him, and Erin Brockovich had a team that stood with her. In this episode, I share how sickness and grief forged my own resilience, and why no underdog wins alone.

Underdogs don’t always get it right the first time. They stumble. They fall short. But that doesn’t mean they’re finished. From Rudy Ruettiger to Baker Mayfield to Warren Moon, history is full of “not good enough” stories that turned into legends. In this episode, I get real about my own Plexus setback and what it taught me: failure is just the foundation for the rise.

Life doesn’t just hand out sucker punches — sometimes it throws the whole fight at you.

What does it mean to be the underdog? To give everything you’ve got, only to fall short again and again?

In this raw, unfiltered episode of Shattered But Unbreakable, I share my own underdog story:
✔️ From business success to sickness, divorce, and grief
✔️ From tears through Zoom classes to earning 3 coaching certifications
✔️ From losing my “why” to waking up in the middle of a storm and hearing God’s whisper: “My daughter, you are not done yet.”

I also share how grit is forged in fire, why ashes don’t mean you’re finished—they mean you’re rising—and how God has been holding me through it all.

🎶 With deep gratitude, this episode opens and closes with Warrior by my soul sister and powerhouse in gut health, Alita Langford. Go follow her and feel her music for yourself.

Your Coach, Vicki Lou-Ann
