    221|The Voice Inside Your Head: Healing Negative Self-Talk, Addiction & Emotional Pain

    What if the most powerful voice in your recovery isn't the one speaking to you—but the one speaking inside your own head? Addiction, mental illness, negative self-talk, and emotional wounds can leave us believing we're defined by our struggles. But what happens when we begin to change the conversation we have with ourselves? In this deeply personal episode of Interrupted: Act 2 – Reinventing Your Legacy, host Laurie Hardie welcomes Jessica Summers for an honest and compassionate conversation about addiction recovery, mental health, healing emotional wounds, and the power of self-talk. Together, Laurie and Jessica explore the connection between emotional pain, the stories we tell ourselves, and the difficult but meaningful journey toward healing a wounded heart. Recovery isn't simply about leaving something behind. It's also about discovering who you are beyond the pain, challenging the negative beliefs that have shaped your identity, and learning to treat yourself with the same compassion you might so freely offer someone else. In this episode, you'll discover: Why addiction recovery and mental health healing involve more than changing behaviors How negative self-talk can affect self-worth, confidence, and emotional well-being The importance of recognizing and healing the wounds we carry Why shame and self-judgment can make the recovery journey even more difficult How self-compassion and a healthier inner dialogue can support personal growth Why your past struggles don't have to define your future How hope, healing, and personal reinvention can begin at any stage of life Whether you're navigating addiction recovery, mental health challenges, emotional healing, or the struggle to quiet your inner critic, this conversation is a reminder that you are more than what you've been through. You deserve compassion. You deserve hope. And you deserve the opportunity to write a new chapter. Your wounds may be part of your story, but they don't have to be the ending.

    219|Your Life Fell Apart. What If That's Where Your Freedom Begins?

    What happens when the life you've spent decades building suddenly falls apart? What if losing everything you thought defined you is actually the beginning of finding yourself? After 21 years of marriage, Tina LeAnn found herself facing a divorce that didn't just end a relationship. It shattered the future she had imagined, challenged the roles she'd spent years living, and left her confronting one of life's most powerful questions: Who am I when I'm no longer the person I thought I was supposed to be? In this deeply personal episode of Interrupted: Act 2 – Reinventing Your Legacy, Laurie Hardie welcomes Tina LeAnn, founder of The Sovereign Soul, advisor to visionary leaders, and creator of Recode Your System™. With more than 20 years of experience as a mechanical designer, Tina spent her career understanding complex systems and identifying patterns. Today, she brings that same perspective to human behavior, identity, neuroscience, and the unconscious beliefs that influence our choices. Following the end of her marriage, Tina embarked on a journey of travel, self-discovery, and reinvention. Along the way, she began questioning the identities she'd built, the patterns she'd repeated, and the expectations that had quietly shaped her life. Together, Laurie and Tina explore: Life after divorce: Rebuilding your identity when a long marriage ends. Starting over: Why a major life interruption can become an unexpected opportunity for reinvention. Unconscious patterns: How past experiences shape our beliefs, relationships, and choices. Identity and self-discovery: Learning to separate who you truly are from who you've learned to be. The power of conscious choice: Moving beyond old patterns and creating a life that reflects the woman you're becoming. Finding freedom: Why you don't always have to rebuild the life that fell apart. Whether you're navigating divorce, an empty nest, a career change, or simply wondering, "Is this really all there is?", this conversation is an invitation to look at your life differently. Because sometimes the greatest interruption isn't the end of your story. It's the moment you finally get to write your own. 🎙️ Meet Tina LeAnn Tina is the founder of The Sovereign Soul and creator of Recode Your System™, where she explores the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, nervous system awareness, and identity transformation.

    217|The Patterns You Didn’t Choose: How Generational Trauma Shapes Your Life

    Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?” Maybe you overthink every decision, struggle to set boundaries, people-please, second-guess yourself, or find yourself repeating patterns you swore you’d never repeat. What if some of those patterns didn’t start with you? In this episode of Interrupted: Act 2 – Reinventing Your Legacy, Laurie talks with Heidi Carlson, Certified Master Life Coach specializing in generational trauma, the mother wound, and the emotional patterns that can shape the way women see themselves, build relationships, parent, lead, and move through life. Heidi shares how experiences and patterns can be passed from one generation to the next—and why understanding where they came from can be an important part of breaking the cycle. They talk about generational trauma, childhood emotional patterns, the mother wound, people-pleasing, boundaries, self-doubt, and the powerful moment when you begin asking a different question: Is this really who I am…or is this something I learned to carry? Because changing your legacy isn’t only about what you leave behind. Sometimes it begins with deciding what you’re no longer willing to pass forward.

    218|When Family Stops Talking: Understanding Estrangement, Grief & Healing

    What happens when someone you love is still alive—but no longer part of your life? Family estrangement can bring a complicated kind of grief filled with unanswered questions, hurt, anger, guilt, and sometimes hope for reconciliation. In this episode of Interrupted: Act 2 – Reinventing Your Legacy, Laurie talks with Roberta Wasserman, LCSW-C, licensed clinical social worker, family estrangement expert, Certified Grief Educator, and author of Living in the Land of Estrangement: 12 Step Workbook for Estranged Parents and Grandparents. Together, Laurie and Roberta look at family estrangement from all angles—the parent, the adult child, the grandparent, and the family members caught somewhere in between. They talk about the grief that comes when a relationship ends without closure, taking responsibility without living in shame, letting go of what you cannot control, and why healing doesn't always have to mean reconciliation. Roberta also shares the thinking behind her 12-step approach to estrangement and how parents and grandparents can begin moving from constant searching for answers toward greater peace, dignity, and emotional stability. If you've experienced estrangement from an adult child, parent, grandchild, sibling, or other family member, this conversation offers something often missing from discussions about estrangement: space for complexity, compassion, accountability, and hope. Because sometimes the relationship may not be repaired—but you can still heal.

    216|Lizzie Thomas on Reinvention, Finding Your Voice & Creating Music on Your Own Terms

    In this episode, Laurie sits down with internationally touring jazz singer, songwriter and producer Lizzie Thomas for a powerful conversation about music, creativity, reinvention and the courage to follow where your voice is leading you. Lizzie built her career interpreting the Great American Songbook and has performed and recorded with some of jazz’s most celebrated musicians, including Ron Carter, Russell Malone, Wayne Escoffery and the Grammy Award-winning Harlem String Quartet. But her creative journey eventually called her beyond interpreting the music of others and into writing and producing music of her own. That evolution led to original projects including Awakening and This Is FREEDOM and to founding GODDESS Legacy Records, a label created with a commitment to empowering female artists and producers. Lizzie shares what it means to trust your creativity, let go of expectations, reinvent yourself and give yourself permission to become the person—and artist—you know you’re meant to be. It’s a conversation about more than jazz. It’s about finding your authentic voice, embracing change, creative freedom, women in music, starting over and having the courage to listen when something inside you says there’s more.

    212|From Overwhelmed to In Control: Lisa Conway on ADHD, Salon Success & Getting Your Time Back

    What if running a successful business didn’t have to mean giving up your time, your energy, or your life? Lisa Conway knows the hair and beauty industry from the inside out. With more than 30 years of experience as a hairdresser and salon owner, Lisa has gone on to become a business coach, mentor, speaker, and author helping salon, spa, and beauty professionals build profitable businesses that don’t depend on them doing everything themselves. In this powerful and refreshingly candid conversation, Lisa shares her own struggles with ADHD and how understanding the way her brain works has shaped the way she approaches business, leadership, time management, and success. We talk about the trap so many entrepreneurs fall into—believing that working harder is the answer—and why better systems, stronger teams, and learning to let go can create something far more valuable: time freedom. Lisa also shares lessons from her books, including The Naked Salon, Your Salon Team, and Your Salon Retail, and what she has learned from decades of helping business owners move from overwhelmed and overworked to confident and in control. Whether you’re a hairstylist, salon owner, beauty professional, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to build a successful business while navigating ADHD and an always-busy brain, this conversation is a reminder that your business is supposed to support your life—not consume it. In this episode: ADHD and entrepreneurship, salon business coaching, time management, business systems, salon leadership, building a strong team, work-life balance, profitability, avoiding burnout, and creating more freedom as a business owner.
