Reinvent Act 2 Life after 60
Are you feeling like a “has been?” Like all the life fulfilling things are behind you and you are missing out?
Do you wonder if people will remember you and your legacy?
Are you afraid you missed the boat and have some regrets? Wishing you were brave enough to do that thing, live that dream but now it is just too late? You are too old?
Good news!! Hi there, I’m Laurie and I felt the same way! It seemed like life was passing me by as I was a single mom raising three kids on my own. Making decisions that where good for the family but not in line with the dreams I held. Doing what was right to support them. I struggled with depression and feeling like my “good life” was over. I was over 50 when my youngest graduated high school and I thought I missed out on everything. Now what? I re invented my dream, told a friend and started walking in the direction I was terrified of and boy, did I get a lot of nos. I persevered and you can too.
I persevered because I listened to people who had overcome challenges, rediscovered their purpose, found fulfillment after 60, started over, created their Act 2, embraced change and new beginnings. Thank you to those who were brave enough to share so we would have hope and believe in a possible future filled with joy. You will even hear some brave souls get coached into their Act 2.
Grab your coffee or tea and that beautiful journal you just bought to secretly think about your dreams and get ready to go for a ride. I am talking with lots of people just like you who in their second act of life made big changes reinvented themselves creating a life they love. It is so do able and they are going to share how they did it. I just know you are going to be encouraged and maybe even come up with a plan for your Act 2.

141|Finding Joy Again: The Courage to Walk Away & Start Over with Alexis Arralynn
In this deeply honest episode Laurie sits down with Alexis, host of When the Bough Breaks, for a vulnerable conversation about breaking free from high-control religion, surviving a narcissistic family system, and learning to rebuild a life from the inside out.
Alexis shares what it was really like to leave a cult, walk away from family, and step into therapy for the first time after years of fear, guilt, and conditioning. Together, we talk about the lifelong impact of narcissistic parents, why adult children of narcissists often feel like they’re “always in trouble,” and the courage it takes to deconstruct your beliefs and reclaim your identity.
This episode is full of hope, healing, and hard-won wisdom. We explore✨ religious trauma recovery✨ narcissistic abuse healing✨ family estrangement✨ therapy + counseling✨ deconstruction and rebuilding✨ finding your voice and choosing joy
Alexis reminds us that freedom is possible, joy is real, and life after trauma can be beautiful. If you’ve ever felt trapped, controlled, or afraid to choose yourself, this conversation will breathe life back into your spirit.
Alexis Arralynn is a survivor, and creator who brings raw honesty and empathy to every conversation she hosts. As the voice behind When the Bough Breaks Podcast, she explores the realities of family estrangement and the quiet resilience it takes to rebuild your life and identity when the people who raised you become distant.
Drawing from her own lived experiences as a survivor of narcissistic abuse, cult control, and generational trauma, Alexis speaks with a compassion that only comes from living through the fire herself. Her podcast has become a space where others can finally exhale, reflect, and be reminded that estrangement isn’t the end of the story — it’s often where healing begins.
When she’s not recording, Alexis spends time with her children and works as a photographer/filmographer, and cleaning business owner in the Pacific Northwest. She continues to advocate for self-worth, safe boundaries, and finding your voice by helping her listeners and clients alike rediscover what “home” really means.
