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.

Wendy Gunn is a female entrepreneur who has succeeded in discovering her identity and her passion–communicating to you that God uniquely created you for a purpose and helping you find and fulfill that purpose. That passion is the foundation for her Simple 3-Step System to build a thriving email list full of raving fans, called Launch Your List Live, which is the exact system she used to grow her thriving email list fast. But, she hasn’t always felt confident, sure of her identity, ad walking in her passion, fulfilling her purpose.
Her journey started years ago when she felt "not enough,” inferior, “less than,” and was severely obese, busy copying her friends, taking bits and pieces of their stories, and trying to make them her own. She was copying, comparing, competing, and coveting. Then, one day, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and knew her story was forever changed. Diagnosed with two football-sized tumors, three days later, the surgeon found only one (still football-sized) tumor. It was caught early. Ovarian cancer usually kills because it’s almost never caught early. She knew she was a walking miracle.
This trial and tragedy transformed her. Over the years, she’s realized we are transformed more through our trials than our triumphs. She began setting and achieving big goals, starting with losing 50 lbs. the next year as she determined to become healthier. That was like the first domino that sent the rest falling. She thought, “If I can do that, I can do anything.”
She’s set and achieved many big goals–becoming organized, successfully raising children to become Godly adults who they are proud of, building a 45-year marriage with a husband who is her polar opposite, and Homeschooling their children from start to finish. But some of the biggest goals achieved were after the age of 60, and she loves encouraging you to believe in yourself, no matter your age or circumstances, and achieve your big goals.
After the age of 60, she lost another 50 lbs, took her whole family (her husband, grown son, grown daughter, and son-in-law) on a dream trip to Italy with saved miles, started an online business, and grew her email list from zero to 12K in just over 2 years with a remarkable 37% open rate.
She helps you, as an entrepreneur, realize how amazing you are, identify your passion and your ideal client to work with, and recognize the unique solution you have to help them. You can then set up an automated email list that brings in a stream of raving fans and makes sales while you sleep, so you can make a life you love, not just a living.

Brenda Reiss is often asked why guiding women through forgiveness coaching is so important. The answer is simple. The person she is today is a direct result of self-forgiveness and finding the strength to reclaim her life.
Brenda's story is a testament to the power we have over our own lives if we just take the time to be curious about what is possible and what is holding us back from being the person we are meant to be.
Self-forgiveness helped her transform out of victimhood and step into the life she was meant to live. This experience has given her the unique ability to guide others who are searching for the same transformation to forgive yourself.
