Interrupted: Act 2 Reinventing Your Legacy
Welcome to Interrupted: Act 2 Reinventing Your Legacy — the podcast where real stories of reinvention, resilience, healing, and personal growth take center stage. Each week, host Laurie Hardie talks with inspiring guests who have faced life’s unexpected interruptions — grief, trauma, addiction, career changes, loss, reinvention, midlife transitions, and starting over — and turned those experiences into purpose, impact, and powerful new beginnings. If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters, this podcast will remind you that your voice has value. Through honest conversations about healing, mindset, courage, entrepreneurship, podcasting, and legacy, you’ll discover how sharing your story can create connection, inspire others, and even open the door to building your own platform or podcast. Interrupted is for women over 40, entrepreneurs, creators, survivors, and anyone navigating a major life transition who wants to feel seen, heard, and less alone. Because what you’ve lived through isn’t the end of your story — it may be the very thing that helps someone else heal. www.coachlaurie.com lacoach@comcast.net Insta: @didnotseethatcoming https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=coach%20laurie www.didnotseethatcoming.com
