    Sandra Lee at Podapalooza: Your Brain Is Talking — Are You Getting the Signal?

    Episode Summary Live from the Podatorium at Podapalooza #16, Georgette Beck sits down with Sandra Lee — a Caltech-trained chemist who walked out of the plastics lab and into nearly four decades of energetic healing. Sandra shares how she now blends science and intuition, explaining the physiology of what’s happening in the body so her clients feel empowered to take part in their own healing. At the heart of the conversation is Sandra’s own breakthrough: decades of neck tension and headaches that finally released in a single NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) session, when she traced patterns of self-reliance, fear of mistakes, and fear of rejection back to being left with relatives for three days at six months old. Georgette shares a strikingly similar moment from her own childhood — a reminder that the roots of who we are often run deep, and that healing takes us “from outer to deeper to deeper.” Sandra unpacks her talk, “Your Brain Is Talking. Are You Getting the Signal?” — the idea that symptoms are messengers, and that the signals get louder when we ignore them. She also explains Biofield Tuning, why she often does more remotely over Zoom than in person, and her Anger Spectrum™, which reframes anger, fear, and shame as information rather than problems to eliminate. Her closing word for anyone feeling foggy, reactive, and stuck: you don’t have to do it alone. Key Moments From Caltech to healing: why Sandra left chemistry behind, started with acupressure and Reiki, and never looked back. Science meets intuition: how she “sees” what’s stuck inside the body and explains the biology so clients can help themselves. The NLP breakthrough: the six-months-old decision — “I have to take care of myself, and everybody else too” — and the session where her neck and head pain disappeared. A shared story: Georgette recalls waking up at six and a half to find her mother gone — and how God reveals the root causes. Feather, brick, two-by-four, Mack truck: why symptoms get louder when we numb them instead of listening. For the foggy brain: start with water — then ask, “What are you trying to tell me?” Why we need outside eyes: even after almost 40 years, Sandra still asks for help because she’s too close to her own stuff. Biofield Tuning, explained: tuning forks, sound, intention — and why remote sessions can go deeper. The Anger Spectrum™: what if every uncomfortable emotion, from everyday worry to rage, is normal — and carries a message? Heart-to-heart questions: a favorite book, coffee with Einstein, honoring our mistakes, and the science teacher who changed her path. Memorable Quotes “All symptoms are your body’s way of trying to get your attention.”  — Sandra Lee “First it’s a feather, then it’s a brick.”  — Sandra Lee, quoting her NLP teacher “If you get the message when it’s small, it doesn’t have to become a disaster.”  — Sandra Lee “Anger is not a problem, it’s information.”  — Sandra Lee “I’m too close to my stuff to be able to see it.”  — Sandra Lee “If I am afraid to make a mistake, I’m paralyzed.”  — Sandra Lee “If you feel like you have to do it all alone, I want you to know it’s so much easier if you have help.”  — Sandra Lee “When life brings you opportunities, say yes.”  — Georgette Beck “If we have something we can offer someone else, just share it, because it really does make a difference.”  — Georgette Beck Books & Resources Mentioned The Diabetes Code and The Cancer Code by Dr. Jason Fung — Sandra’s most impactful reads, on understanding these conditions through metabolism Sandra’s anthology contributions: The Energy Medicine Solution, Stop Overworking & Start Overflowing, and Abundance by Design Junk to Jewels: A Journey from Brokenness & Despair to Beauty & Delight by Georgette Beck — https://a.co/d/0etqV85U Connect with Sandra Free Body Symptoms Decoder: com/body Website: com Pain Awareness Quiz: com/quiz Inner Gem Shine Card Deck: com Connect with Georgette Website: com 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 About Sandra Lee Sandra Lee is a Caltech-trained chemist turned energetic healer with 39 years of experience helping people move through pain, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm.

    Melody Miller Mann at Podapalooza: 40 Countries, $1,200, and the Day Jesus Called Her by Name

    Episode summary Recorded live during the Podapalooza #16 virtual marathon, this episode welcomes author, retired nurse, and journalist Melody Miller Mann, RN, BSN, BJ. In 1973, fresh out of the University of Texas at Austin and leaving a dream job that turned sour, Melody walked into the post office instead of the unemployment office, applied for her passport, and set off with $1,200 and an overstuffed pink suitcase she nicknamed her “pink dinosaur.” Over 12 months she traveled solo through 40 countries. But the greatest moment of the journey wasn't a landmark. Alone in the back of an ambulance in her 40th country, Melody realized she had pursued independence all the way to isolation. Days later, a stranger on a Dublin sidewalk invited her to pizza with his friends, and in the middle of their simple prayer of thanks, she encountered Jesus, who called her by a name almost no one ever used: Melody. Truth had found her. Georgette and Melody talk about divine appointments, discovering your God-given purpose, the “miracle hire” that launched her medical-writing career, her personal journey with natural health, the knee injury she calls an “obedience injury,” and why it's never too late to learn, grow, and begin again. Melody's new memoir, Truth Found Me, is endorsed by Jack Canfield as “a real page-turner.” In this episode Why Melody traded a dream job that turned sour for a passport and a one-way adventure Hitchhiking across Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary — and the pink suitcase that burst open mid-airport The ambulance ride that revealed the end of the road for independence: isolation A Dublin sidewalk, a pizzeria, and the moment Jesus called her “Melody” Why the title is Truth Found Me — not “I Found Truth” A joyful restroom attendant at the Strawberry Festival and the question: Do you have a dream? The man who hired her before he even knew her name Writing a memoir from the journal she kept across 40 countries Her personal journey with natural remedies through PMS, menopause, and a bone-on-bone knee Why the Holy Spirit is her greatest mentor and the Word is her favorite book One takeaway for anyone wondering whether their life has meaning, purpose, or design Connect with Melody Website: truthfoundme.com Book: Truth Found Me by Melody Miller Mann (watch for her interview with Jack Canfield on her website) Connect with Georgette Book: Junk to Jewels on Amazon Instagram: instagram.com/georgette.beck Facebook: facebook.com/GeorgetteBeckWriter LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/georgette-beck-7a659387 Twitter/X: x.com/GeorgetteMBeck TikTok: tiktok.com/@georgette2038 YouTube: youtube.com/@georgettebeck9168 Subscribe, share, and leave a review — it means the world!

    Coach Mo Cooper: Your Best Health Is Hiding in Your Calendar - Live from Podapalooza

    Episode Summary Recorded live in the Podatorium at Podapalooza, this episode brings Georgette together with Maureen “Coach Mo” Cooper, a Healthy Lifestyle and Nutrition Coach who lost more than 65 pounds and has kept it off for over 15 years. Georgette opens with honesty about her own lifelong struggle with weight and self-esteem, and Mo meets her there with warmth, humor, and hard-won wisdom. Mo shares how years of putting herself last — raising three little ones in constant chaos — finally shifted with an unlikely gift: a Wii workout game that sat in its box for three weeks. That small, goofy start became a 5 AM habit, and that hour of “just me” time became the beginning of her transformation. She explains why her signature talk says your best health is hiding in your calendar: your calendar has no feelings and doesn’t judge what you look like in a bikini. It simply shows you where your time, energy, and thoughts are going. Together they unpack why willpower isn’t the answer for women who have tried every diet, why restriction only adds pressure, and why lasting change is about building on rock instead of shifting sand. Mo tells the moving story behind the name Mo Mind Body Soul — born in a moment of making the sign of the cross on a drive home — and describes herself as a “backdoor preacher” who weaves faith into wellness because peace is critical to lowering stress. She also shares her morning routine, the SOAP journaling method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer), the books that shaped her, and a beautiful prayer: “Lord, empty me… fill me… use me.” In This Episode Why putting yourself last isn’t heroic — and why nobody hands out medals for it The Wii workout game (and the awkward Christmas gift) that changed everything The 5 AM hour: finding time when nobody wants a piece of you What your calendar has to do with losing weight — and why it’s the neutral place to start Why “we don’t need more discipline, we need less pressure” How forbidden foods make us think about them all the more The Holy Trinity story behind the name Mo Mind Body Soul The secret to keeping weight off for 15+ years: less stress, not perfection The SOAP journaling method: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer Breaking free from all-or-nothing thinking Mo’s heart-to-heart café guest — and the prayer that changed her mornings Memorable Moments “Putting yourself last isn’t heroic… we don’t get any medals for not showing up for ourselves.” — Coach Mo “Your calendar doesn’t have feelings. Your calendar’s not telling you what you look like in a bikini.” — Coach Mo “We don’t need more discipline. We need less pressure.” — Coach Mo “I want you to build on rock, not on sand.” — Coach Mo “What we do either dims the light or brightens the light.” — Coach Mo Books & Resources Mentioned Atomic Habits by James Clear (and the companion workbook) Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking by Jon Acuff Finish by Jon Acuff Jesus Calling by Sarah Young (devotional and podcast) The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron — featured in Georgette’s Junk to Jewels Heart Challenge SOAP journaling: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer Podapalooza — the podcasting event where this episode was recorded; guests, speakers, and podcasters can all take part Connect with Coach Mo Website: MoMindBodySoul.com   ABOUT OUR GUEST Maureen “Coach Mo” Cooper Healthy Lifestyle & Nutrition Coach  |  Founder, Mo Mind Body Soul Maureen “Coach Mo” Cooper is a Healthy Lifestyle and Nutrition Coach who helps busy women break free from the cycle of dieting, overwhelm, and starting over. After losing 65+ pounds and maintaining it for over 15 years, she now teaches simple, sustainable habits that support lasting weight loss, more energy, and greater confidence. Her philosophy is simple: “Your Best Health Is Closer Than You Think!” — and it starts with small, practical steps that fit real life. Certified through Precision Nutrition, Mo takes a whole-person approach rooted in mind, body, and soul, and she serves women 40+ who want to lose weight for life. A self-described “Jesus girl” and “backdoor preacher,” she weaves faith and peace into her coaching as a pathway to lower stress and lasting change.

    Georgette Beck - Book Gems 2: Choosing a Life, Practicing Love, Doing the Right Thing

    Episode Description In this Junk to Jewels “Book Gems” episode, Georgette Beck shares reflections from three books that touched her heart: Peter Mayle's My 25 Years in Provence, Anne Lamott's Somehow: Thoughts on Love, and Ryan Holiday's Right Thing Right Now. She traces Mayle's life change from advertising to writing and his affectionate, humorous vignettes of Provençal culture, using his story to challenge listeners to choose a life intentionally and to embrace changing seasons — including grief and loss. Drawing from Lamott, Georgette explores love as a daily practice: the role of community, healthy boundaries, vulnerability, and loving across divides. From Holiday, she highlights justice as a foundational virtue — doing the right thing even without recognition — and the balance between justice and mercy, and expanding our circle of moral concern beyond our own tribe. Peter Mayle — My 25 Years in Provence: Reflections on Then and Now Peter Mayle (1939–2018) was a British advertising executive turned author, best known for his 1989 international bestseller A Year in Provence, which inspired a generation of readers and travelers to fall in love with the south of France. He was awarded the Légion d'Honneur by the French government for his cultural contribution to the relationship between France and the English-speaking world. My 25 Years in Provence was his final book, published posthumously as a love letter to his adopted home. Anne Lamott — Somehow: Thoughts on Love Anne Lamott is one of America's most beloved spiritual writers, essayists, and novelists, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is the author of twenty books, including the New York Times bestsellers Bird by Bird, Traveling Mercies, Help, Thanks, Wow, and Dusk, Night, Dawn. Somehow: Thoughts on Love, her twentieth book, was a #1 New York Times bestseller and one of Publishers Weekly's Best Religion Books of 2024, known for its honesty, humor, and deep faith. Instagram: @annelamott Ryan Holiday — Right Thing Right Now: Good Values. Good Character. Good Deeds. Ryan Holiday is one of the most influential writers on Stoic philosophy working today. A college dropout who apprenticed under author Robert Greene at age 19, he has since sold more than five million books in over 40 languages, including The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, Stillness Is the Key, and The Daily Stoic. He lives outside Austin, Texas, where he owns and runs The Painted Porch Bookshop in Bastrop. Right Thing Right Now is the third installment in his Stoic Virtues series, following Courage Is Calling and Discipline Is Destiny, and debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestseller list.

    Dr. Tamara Monosoff: From Gray Divorce to Badass — Rebuilding Life After 50

    Episode Summary On this episode of the Junk to Jewels™ Podcast, Georgette Beck sits down with Dr. Tamara Monosoff (as part of the Podapalooza event) — a therapist, entrepreneur, and author holding a master's in marriage and family therapy and a doctorate in women's leadership — to talk about rebuilding life after her unexpected gray divorce ended a 38-year relationship. Tamara opens up about the identity loss, shame, isolation, and financial and social fears that so often follow a divorce after 50, and why grief has no timeline and can't be rushed. Georgette and Tamara explore how loneliness inside a marriage and unspoken truths can quietly erode connection, and why healing moves faster in community rather than alone. Tamara shares the small daily habits, long-deferred classes, and simple hellos that helped her recover — along with her leap to move to Portugal and finally pursue a childhood dream. It's an honest, hope-filled conversation about grief, reinvention, and discovering who you are on the other side of loss.

    The Formula 4 Man: Gregory Halpern on Healing, Faith & Human Potential

    Episode Description Gregory Jesse Halpern joins Georgette Beck on the Junk to Jewels™ Podcast for one of the most extraordinary conversations the show has ever featured. Known by many as the “13 Lives Renaissance Man,” Greg has survived thirteen documented near-death experiences — beginning at age five — and emerged from each one with a radically transformed understanding of purpose, suffering, and the human spirit. In this conversation, Greg walks Georgette through his very first crossing as a child, the 2005 chlorine-gas incident that unlocked over 3,000 principles of universal wisdom in three days, and the mentors — Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale, and W. Clement Stone — who shaped how he processed it all.
