Some stories are born in survival — and finished in hope.
In this episode, I talk with Georgette Beck, author of Junk to Jewels, about writing through divorce, faith, and the long road from brokenness to restoration. Georgette shares what it means to tell the truth about pain while honoring healing, how community and faith reshaped her identity, and why life’s valleys often hold the richest soil for growth.
We also talk about late-in-life education, creativity after loss, second-chance love, and why it’s never too late to pursue purpose. This is a conversation for anyone rebuilding, reimagining, or learning to see their own story differently. Visit the Authors website: https://www.georgettebeck.com/
