Regarding your question what la stands for in the idiomatic phrase se la couler douce, I used Google and found the answer here:

Your hunch that la replaces la vie seems to be correct.

Hi Meriel,
The term is "se la couler douce" --> take it easy.

So "c'est me la couler douce" follows this pattern as above.
Bonne journée,
Jim
