You’re invited to a Conversations to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast, powered by Exceptional Connections®. Join host Cyndi O’Neill-Dady and her guest, Seattle radio personality and communication coach Laurie Hardie, for an inspiring conversation on a topic that touches every life: Leaving a Legacy. 🎙️ Meet Our Guest: Laurie Hardie Laurie Hardie is a beloved Seattle radio host, author, speaker, podcaster, and coach who has spent more than three decades helping people share their stories with courage and clarity. As a former single mom of three—and now “Grandma LaLa” to six—Laurie understands the profound value of capturing life’s moments, honoring our experiences, and passing wisdom from one generation to the next. Laurie is passionate about helping women speak in a way that truly connects. During the pandemic, she made a powerful discovery: many podcasters, Zoom facilitators, and online leaders believed they were communicating inclusively, but their methods were unintentionally isolating listeners. Drawing from her 35+ years in broadcasting and her degree in social services, Laurie now teaches people how to make their voices more inviting, intentional, and impactful. Her newest offering, the 7-Day Podcast Pro program, blends storytelling, communication strategy, and on-air experience to help anyone launch or elevate their podcast with confidence. 🌱 What This Episode Is About Every person has stories worth sharing—stories that heal, connect, empower, teach, guide, and inspire.
