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.

Hi there! I’m Joellyn Wlazlowski Martin—wife, mom, and Nana with a knack for creativity and a passion for problem-solving. I love cheering on women (especially those of us with a few more candles on the cake!) to embrace every chapter of life with energy and optimism. I work with Tranont’s plant-powered supplements and LifeWave’s breakthrough regenerative patches—to help you feel your best, naturally.
I’m also proud to have co-authored two #1 International Best Sellers:
“Ageless Voices,” where women aged 60–98 share their fun, fearless, fabulous stories,
and “The Art of Connection’s 365 Days of Abundance,” full of wisdom from entrepreneurs and influencers.
When I’m not tending my garden, giving old furniture a fresh look, or giggling with my grandkids, you’ll find me diving into the latest news or exploring the stock market—always up for a spirited debate (polite passion only, please!). I believe respect and open minds lead to the best no-nonsense solutions. together!
