Episode Description

In this deeply inspiring episode, Georgette Beck welcomes Caryn Treister - Transformational Mindset Coach, NLP Master, Motivational Speaker, and creator of The Confidence Ignited Method. For over 30 years, Caryn has dedicated herself to empowering women, first in the wellness field through fitness and nutrition, and now as a coach helping women cultivate unshakable confidence, power, and purpose.

Caryn's journey is one of transformation - from growing up in New Hampshire with a depressed mother and dysfunctional family dynamics, to becoming a successful model working across the country and in Japan, to surviving a life-threatening brain tumor while pregnant, to ultimately leaving a 36-year marriage marked by emotional abuse and gaslighting.

But Caryn didn't just survive - she thrived. After discovering NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) at a Tony Robbins event and studying with masters like T. Harv Ecker, Bob Proctor, and Richard Bandler, Caryn created a method to help women stop chasing confidence and start creating it from the inside out.

This conversation covers the difference between courage and inner worthiness, why modeling didn't give her true confidence, surviving a massive brain tumor during pregnancy, the umbrella of shame in emotionally abusive relationships, walking on fire (literally!), and how rewiring your thoughts can change your entire reality.

In this deeply powerful and important episode, Georgette Beck welcomes Nancy Ferraro - Florida-based estate planning and probate attorney, author of the award-winning memoir "When the Bough Breaks," and fierce advocate for families with special needs children.

Nancy's journey is one of extraordinary courage. She and her then-husband adopted a boy named George from Romania, believing he was healthy. George arrived as what Nancy describes as "a wild animal in the body of a boy" - suffering from institutionally acquired autism, low IQ, fetal alcohol syndrome, and various psychoses. For nearly a decade, Nancy was the object of George's violence while navigating systems that often failed her family.

But Nancy didn't just survive - she became a warrior. She learned to advocate, to command respect rather than beg for favors, and ultimately found the courage to place George in a group home at age 14 - a decision that saved all of their lives. Today, George is "living his best life," and Nancy uses her platform to shed light, share hope, and offer community to parents who feel alone.

This conversation covers the reality of fetal alcohol syndrome (affecting 1 in 15 American children), why mothers shouldn't hide under rocks in shame, the importance of getting proper diagnosis and help, estate planning for special needs families, and why sometimes going through hardship isn't for you - it's for someone watching you.

In this uplifting and inspiring episode, Georgette Beck welcomes Latin singer, entrepreneur, and creative powerhouse Tatiana Rodriguez to the Junk to Jewels Podcast. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Tatiana has been singing since age 11, driven by a passion for music that was nurtured by her biggest supporter - her father, who also served as her music manager.

When her father passed away just before she graduated high school, Tatiana's world shattered. In her grief, she removed everything related to God from her room and questioned her faith. But music remained her anchor. She moved to the United States to pursue her education in Film and Video Production, working through toxic relationships, financial struggles, and the challenge of pursuing her dreams without her father's guidance.

Today, Tatiana is a prominent figure in the entertainment industry who has walked the red carpet at the Latin Grammys, performed across multiple states, and founded Liary Content Solutions - helping other creatives amplify their brand voice. Alongside her husband Joshua (producer Illinois), she creates music, runs a business, and proves that following your passion isn't just possible - it's essential.

This conversation covers the importance of discipline, the courage to take risks, why you must do what makes you happy even if it means a pay cut, and how the most disciplined person will always win.
