Embrace the Power of Your Story: Insights from a Broadcast Veteran with Laurie Hardie

In this episode of the I Got It Girl podcast, I get the honor to interview Laurie Hardie, who inspired me to start podcasting as a way to share stories and remind women they don’t have to carry everything alone. Laurie reflects on her “I Got it Girl” years as a single mom without support, the pressure of unrealistic expectations, and learning to let go in small ways, like accepting a sock basket and dishes in the sink without shame. We discuss coaching and the importance of deep listening, reflection on our Enneagram number, the “helper” (and its unhealthy patterns), and how control and survival can block deeper love and connection. Laurie shares her path from radio to paid radio shows, writing a book, navigating being an empty nester and community loss. She now is helping women launch podcasts by empowering them on how to do it themselves and grow successfully. She closed on how storytelling is your legacy and speaking the truth without attachment and knowing you are making a difference. 00:00 Welcome and Inspiration01:08 Why Coaches Need Podcasts02:12 Laurie’s Single Mom Story04:00 Enneagram Two Lessons05:38 Jackie’s Helper Shadow08:01 Survival and Control10:29 Letting Go Starts Small13:14 Empty Nest Shift14:58 Believe Versus Lie16:25 Rewriting the Inner Story18:26 Teaching Clients to Fish19:11 Presence Over Presents20:04 Coaching Is Listening21:10 Back to Radio21:46 Talk Like One Person23:14 Power of One Story23:56 Free Content Builds Trust26:12 Where to Find Laurie28:25 Story as Legacy30:15 Detach From Results32:05 Why Stories Work32:50 Closing Thanks and SubscribeYou find and follow up with Laurie at http://www.coachlaurie.comFor all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/linksYou will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!
