Junk to Jewels Podcast with Georgette Beck

What does it look like when a little girl from the hills of West Virginia who couldn’t stand to see her grandmother step on an ant grows up to defend the most vulnerable among us? It looks exactly like Sue Chess — 24-year CEO of CareNet of the Treasure Coast. In this deeply moving episode, Georgette sits down with Sue to talk about the life-saving work happening right here on Florida’s Treasure Coast — and the miracle stories that keep Sue showing up every single day. From an unlikely mobile unit that arrived when only ONE was left, to a nursing student who chose life and now works at Cleveland Clinic, to the son who considered abortion and whose daughter just turned 25 — this conversation will stir your heart. In This Episode You’ll Hear: Sue’s origin story: a sense of justice rooted in childhood, nursing training in 1975, and a pro-life debate that changed the trajectory of her life How a personal family crisis — her son and his girlfriend facing an unplanned pregnancy at 17 — led Sue to eventually lead CareNet for 24 years The full scope of CareNet’s ministry: pregnancy counseling, ultrasound, STI testing, parenting classes, a baby boutique, student outreach, fatherhood initiative, and abortion recovery healing The miracle story of CareNet’s new Mobile Unit — equipped with ultrasound and a QR code, serving Martin and St. Lucie Counties Why seeing the baby on ultrasound within 24 hours can be the most life-changing moment for a woman in crisis The truth about the abortion pill: dangers, trauma, and the abortion pill reversal that has already saved 8,000 babies nationwide How the Fatherhood Initiative increased life-saving outcomes by 61% Sue’s life motto: “Just do the next right thing” The peacekeeper vs. peacemaker distinction — and why Jesus was a peacemaker Sue’s beautiful tribute to her mother, and the devotional she’s writing from her mom’s “Sips of Living Water” Facebook posts Her favorite Bible: the WallBuilders Bible, weaving America’s founding history with Scripture The woman she’d love to have coffee with: Priscilla Shirer Sue’s Closing Word to Anyone in Crisis: “Don’t try to take care of the whole thing today. Just do the next right thing. Make a call. Make an appointment. Don’t make an uninformed, rapid choice before you have looked at all your options.” Upcoming CareNet Events: Walk for Life — October 11 at MidFlorida Event Center (FREE: food, petting zoo, family fun) CareNet Gala — March 5 & 6, 2026, with Dr. Lyle returning as Guest Speaker Contact & Connect with Sue Chess / CareNet: Client Website: www.carenettc.com Supporter/Volunteer Website: www.carenettc.com Port St. Lucie East Clinic • 6704 S US Highway 1, Port St. Lucie, FL 34952 • (772) 828-3168 Darwin Square Clinic • 3237 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd., Port St. Lucie, FL 34953 • (772) 208-3053 Connect with Georgette Beck & Junk to Jewels: Book: https://a.co/d/0etqV85U Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgette.beck/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GeorgetteBeckWriter LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgette-beck-7a659387/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/GeorgetteMBeck TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@georgette2038 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@georgettebeck9168 Subscribe, share, and leave a review — it means the world!

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 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.

In this powerful episode of the Junk to Jewels Podcast, Georgette Beck welcomes Representative Dana Trabulsy (District 84) — a woman of faith, a leader with a servant’s heart, and an advocate for Florida’s children and families. Originally from Georgia, Dana made Florida her home in 1986 and has been a proud resident of St. Lucie County since 1991. Before stepping into public service, she built a thriving business, All Things Treasure Coast, which she later gifted to the Chamber of Commerce as a way to give back to her community. She went on to work with The Children’s Forum, supporting early childhood education across Florida, before being elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2020. In this episode, Dana opens up about her journey of faith and leadership, her family’s story of blending love after brokenness, and the way prayer sustains her daily work in Tallahassee. She also discusses her legislative work on issues such as: Expanding access to education and literacy (New Worlds Reading Initiative, KidCare expansion, school readiness reforms) Advocating for vulnerable children (guardian ad litem appointments, adoption support, permanency for children without parents) Mental health and suicide prevention (crisis response capacity, public record protections, peer support for first responders) Health care improvements (HIV prevention legislation in honor of her brother, dependent children protection, physician assistant/advanced nurse services) Supporting Florida families (school safety, fertility preservation coverage, background screenings for child and health care workers) Above all, Dana shares her heart for mentorship, community service, and building strong families — because as she believes, “it’s not what you have in life, but what you do with what you have that defines true purpose and service.” 👉 Follow Representative Dana Trabulsy: Website: www.danatrabulsy.com Facebook: Dana For Florida Instagram: @danatrabulsy X (Twitter): @DanaTrabulsy Junk to Jewels podcast was inspired by Georgette Beck's first book, Junk to Jewels, A Journey from Brokenness and Despair to Beauty and Delight.
