In this powerful episode of the Junk to Jewels Podcast, host Georgette Beck sits down with Julie LaVan — attorney turned Certified Professional Mediator — whose own journey through a high-conflict divorce with a narcissist transformed her understanding of conflict, resolution, and healing. Julie shares her remarkable story: from growing up in small-town New York to building a thriving law firm in Philadelphia, raising two children, surviving a 15-year marriage to a narcissist, and ultimately stepping away from litigation to offer a better path forward for others. Her vulnerability, wisdom, and professional expertise make this a conversation you won’t want to miss. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: Why Julie left a successful legal career to become a mediator — and what her own divorce taught her about the court system What mediation really is, and why it’s often the wiser, more loving approach before calling a lawyer How to navigate conflict with a narcissist or high-conflict personality with strategy and calm The power of listening — as a life skill, a leadership tool, and a spiritual practice Julie’s insights on business mediation, family mediation, and closely held business disputes Her current favorite book: Slay the Bully by Rebecca Zung — and why it’s a game-changer Her life scripture: Psalm 34:14 — “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it” About the Junk to Jewels Podcast The Junk to Jewels Podcast is hosted by Georgette Beck — author, speaker, lay minister, mentor, and founder of Bella Healing Hearts Foundation.
