1|Brave Upon Brave: Laurie Hardie on Living Her Truth, One Step at a Time

What do you do when your reality doesn’t match the life you planned?



In this brave and beautifully honest episode, Seattle radio personality Laurie Hardie shares the moment she stopped hiding—from the truth, from her pain, and from herself.

Take a journey back with Laurie to a quiet island where everything looked fine on the outside. But inside her home—and heart—was a silent unraveling. She had three kids, a husband with a secret, and a growing knowing in her gut she could no longer ignore. When she finally asked him to choose, the truth came crashing in—and so did a breakdown.

 You’ll hear about the fear of being judged, the sting of community whispers, and the weight of becoming “that single mom.”

 You’ll see her saying yes to a camper parked at a Bible camp—humbling, hard, and healing all at once.



 And you’ll walk with her into the next chapter, where she finds her voice again—behind the mic, and within herself.

This is not just a story about divorce or starting over. It’s about choosing truth over comfort, honoring your intuition when the path forward is foggy, and trusting that sometimes the bravest thing you can do… is take one small, steady step.

A Special Thank You to Laurie 💖

Laurie, I don’t even know where to begin—thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the steady hand and wise guide I needed to bring this podcast dream to life. I was so full of fear around all the “how-to’s,” not sure if I could actually manage the technical side of it all, let alone do it on my own.

But you… you made it feel doable. You took what felt overwhelming and turned it into something joyful, creative, and even easy. Your encouragement, support, and step-by-step guidance helped me move from fear to flow—and now here we are, The Being Brave Tour podcast is live! I never could’ve done this without you.

You truly are a gift—and I’m so grateful our paths crossed.
