In this episode of Pivot2Positivity, Coach Neena sits down with Vickie, a woman whose resilience and compassion shine through despite a life marked by unimaginable pain. From surviving extreme abuse, trafficking, and near death at 26, to reclaiming her voice and sharing her journey through writing, Vickie embodies strength and hope.

Writing first under the pen name Amanda Wolfe with Secrets of the Black Box, Vickie has now released her newest book, No More, Just Sign Here, Babe, by Vickie Lou-Ann Irwin, which focuses on recovering financially from divorce and creating stability after heartbreak.

She opens up about her “Phoenix Practices”—writing, grounding, breathwork, and daily devotionals—that anchor her healing each day. With honesty, she shares her struggles with money, asking for help, and learning to rise again.

This is more than Vickie’s story—it’s an invitation to discover the power of resilience, self-care, and rebuilding life on your own terms.
