Interrupted: Act 2 Reinventing Your Legacy

115|Healing Hope and a Second Chance at Love with Dr. Peggy Pugh

In this powerful episode of Interrupted with Laurie, we sit down with Dr. Peggy Pugh—a counselor, minister, and inspirational woman whose life story is filled with resilience, healing, and transformation. From pre-birth trauma and childhood abuse to surviving two strokes—one in her 20s and another in her 40s—Dr. Peggy's journey is one of profound strength and self-discovery.
Determined to prove her worth, she spent years chasing validation—until life interrupted her path and taught her the most important lesson: she was already enough. Through therapy, faith, and inner work, she found self-love, emotional freedom, and even a second chance at love in her late 60s.
If you’re ready to heal from past trauma, embrace your worth, and rediscover joy and purpose at any age, this episode is for you. Dr. Peggy shares powerful wisdom and encouragement to help you reclaim your life—and the freedom you truly deserve.
