This episode opens the TAKE IT BACK series — a trauma-informed exploration of how women’s power has been rewritten, neutralized, and controlled across history… and how those same patterns still operate today.

The series began after I saw a viral reel selling “Cleopatra’s sexual positions” as a way to keep a man from leaving — dressed up as history, pseudo-science, and empowerment.

That moment revealed something deeper.

This episode begins with Medusa — not as a monster, but as a woman harmed inside a system that promised protection… and then punished her for surviving.

In Part 1 of 4, we explore:

• How trauma is reframed as danger

• Why survivors are blamed for visibility instead of harm

• How institutions preserve themselves by labeling women

• Why being seen after trauma is treated as a threat

This is not mythology.
This is pattern recognition.

⚠️ Content Note: This episode discusses sexual violence, trauma, institutional betrayal, and victim-blaming. Please listen with care and pause as needed.

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.
