What if your biggest setback was actually your setup for the next chapter?
In this week’s episode, Coach LA sits down with powerhouse author and self-care advocate Vick Breedy, creator of the Selfish Women’s Group and Genetically Resilient brand, to talk about what it really takes to reinvent your life after change.
From divorce to discovery, from burnout to boundaries — Vick shares her raw, unfiltered journey of transformation and what she calls her “#BounceBackMagic.” Together, the two explore the emotional architecture of resilience, how to pivot with purpose, and why protecting your peace is an act of power, not guilt.
This is not just an interview — it’s a blueprint for anyone ready to design their next season on their own terms.

“Sometimes reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to shrink.”
Coach LA invites listeners to grab a journal and complete the Reinvention T-Chart:
Left column: What I’m releasing
Right column: What I’m stepping into
Then write your Next Chapter Headline in one bold sentence. Share it online with #BETonSELF and tag @Therapist_CoachLA to inspire others in their own pivot story.
Coach LA breaks down the psychology of reinvention through self-belief.
Drawing from clinical insight and lived experience, she reminds us that pivots are not failures — they’re recalibrations. The secret to resilience is giving yourself permission to evolve and grace to grow.
“You can’t step into your next chapter still negotiating your worth in the old one.”
According to the APA, resilience is one of the strongest predictors of post-traumatic growth — people who intentionally practice adaptive coping recover faster and thrive longer.
Nearly 60% of adults make a major life pivot by age 45, most often triggered by relationships or career change.
Women who engage in community-based support groups like SWG report 45% higher self-esteem and 32% fewer depressive symptoms than those who isolate (Journal of Positive Psychology, 2023).
