m'a gâché la vie?

Why "m'a gâché la vie" and not "a gâché ma vie" or "m'est gâchée la vie".

Une envie de changement (Fill-in-the-Blank Kwiz)

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

This question is regarding a fill-in-the-blank test posted this week on the following link -> https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/blog/une-envie-de-changement-pluperfect-practice/

The last sentence reads- Quand elle avait vu ma nouvelle coupe, Flora en avait eu le souffle coupé.

I am unable to understand why the pronoun "en" has been used here and what is its relation with "le souffle coupé" .

Why does the second sentence translate as- 'Flora had been totally blown away.'

Merci beaucoup Madame pour m'aider encore.

Bonne journée !
