    Georgette Beck - From Divorce and Despair to Hope, Healing, and Second Chances
    2026/01/29

    This episode is for anyone navigating major life transitions and wondering if renewal is still possible.

    I’m joined by Georgette Beck, author of Junk to Jewels: A Journey from Brokenness and Despair to Beauty and Delight. Georgette shares her deeply personal story of divorce, faith, healing, and rebuilding a life rooted in purpose and self-worth.

    We talk about vulnerability in nonfiction, writing through trauma, the power of community, and why it’s never too late to pursue education, creativity, or a calling that’s been waiting for years. Georgette also reflects on second-chance love, blended families, podcasting, and how life’s hardest seasons often produce the richest growth.

    This conversation will resonate with readers and writers interested in memoir, faith-based nonfiction, personal transformation, and stories of hope that emerge from real-world struggle. Visit the Authors website: https://www.georgettebeck.com/
