Beyond the Therapy Chair: Healing in Community

This season of Conversations with Coach LA invites listeners to unpack the past—personally, generationally, and systemically—and begin healing from within. In this episode, we move beyond the therapy chair and into the heart of the collective—because healing doesn’t just happen in isolation, it happens in community.

We’re joined by a dynamic voice in empowerment and advocacy: Shnell Swain — board-certified nurse, author, mentor, and creator of Mirror Mantras™ – The Ultimate Self-Empowerment Hack, streamed over 35 million times across 48 countries. Shnell’s mission is deeply rooted in real-life transformation. From founding End Child Molestation Inc. to launching her newest book and program, Master Self-Talk & Transform Self-Perception in 30 Days, Shnell is living proof that the most powerful investment you can ever make… is in you.

 

Together, we explore how rewriting our inner dialogue, breaking generational patterns, and stepping into shared spaces of truth-telling can help us reclaim identity, connection, and power.

💬 Coach’s Corner

Coach LA’s Final Reflection:

"Healing is more than just sitting across from someone in a chair. It’s how we show up for ourselves when no one’s watching. It’s how we hold each other accountable in love. And it’s how we come back to the truth of who we are—even when the world tries to rewrite us.

This week, I invite you to reflect on your BET on SELF moment. Was it when you finally said 'no' and meant it? When you applied for that opportunity even though you were scared? Or maybe it’s happening right now, in the quiet choice to keep going.

Remember this: You are not alone. You are not broken. You are becoming.

Because healing isn’t just what we do in silence—it’s how we rise in community."

Until next time, take care of your mind, speak life into your reflection, and bet on yourself—every time.

— Coach LA
