LTGL2615-Community, Confidence and the Courage to Be Seen with Georgette Beck

Sometimes life stops looking anything like the picture we carried in our heads. That does not mean the story is over—and it may not even mean we are starting from scratch.In this episode of Living the Good Life, Kimberly welcomes Georgette Beck, author of Junk to Jewels: A Journey From Brokenness and Despair to Beauty and Delight. Georgette reflects on the smiling, high-achieving girl who was quietly carrying shame; the painful adult season she calls her rescue; and the people, practices, and choices that helped her begin recognizing her own value.Their conversation moves through Georgette’s four C’s—contemplation, community, caring, and contribution—and into the wonderfully ordinary things that can make a life feel like your own again: inviting someone for coffee, walking near the water, buying yourself flowers, painting badly and happily, asking for help, and sharing what you have learned.Georgette also speaks candidly about being a late bloomer, earning a degree while raising her daughter and working, creating a nonprofit from the care she once received, and feeling an urgency to write the stories her family did not get to tell.In this episode:Why healing and confidence arrive in layersThe difference between looking successful and feeling worthyHow community can make courage possibleA simple first step when reaching out feels uncomfortableWhy knowing what you love is part of defining the good lifeHow caring for others can turn survival into contributionSubscribe to Living the Good Life for more conversations with people choosing purpose, wellness, creativity, and adventure in every season of life.Connect with Georgette: Book: https://a.co/d/0etqV85UFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GeorgetteBeckWriterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgette.beck/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgette-beck-7a659387/Join the conversation: Come hang out with us in the Living the Good Life Facebook community for:Episode previewsBonus contentGuest Q&A opportunitiesA community of people choosing to live with more intention and joyJoin the Living the Good Life FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LTGLCommunityEvery episode proudly sponsored by http://SwitchtoUSAMade.comContact Kimberly Henrie at https://livingthegoodlife.us/If this episode resonated with you, take a moment to leave a review or share it with someone who might need a little nudge toward their own version of the good life.
