Junk to Jewels Podcast with Georgette Beck

Painting Through Pain: How Art Became Lisa Jill Allison's Path to Freedom

In this deeply moving episode, Georgette Beck sits down with Connecticut-born artist Lisa Jill Allison to explore how creativity became her pathway from childhood trauma to healing and purpose. Lisa shares her powerful story of growing up in a household affected by mental health challenges, navigating through multiple difficult relationships, and ultimately discovering her artistic gift almost by accident when she painted murals in exchange for rent.
Now the proud owner of a stunning gallery in downtown Fort Pierce, Florida (housed in a historic bank building), Lisa creates vibrant, bold artwork that invites viewers to "escape reality and step into magic." Her work has been featured in homes internationally and shown in Miami and Manhattan.
This conversation touches on generational trauma, the importance of self-worth, the power of intuition, and how giving our gifts to the world actually heals us in return.
What You'll Learn
How childhood experiences with mental illness shaped Lisa's need to create beauty
Why Lisa calls herself "sensitive" and how this affected her life choices
The surprising story of how Lisa discovered she was an artist in her later years
How each difficult relationship taught Lisa something different about herself
The healing power of creating art and expressing your unique gifts
Why judging ourselves is often harder than being judged by others
The significance of listening to your gut feelings (both positive and negative)
How giving your gifts to the world actually refuels and heals you

Representative Dana Trabulsy – Faith, Family, and Advocacy for Florida’s Children

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.”
