351 Judy Smith: Discomfort & Humiliation Changed the Trajectory of Her Life

  1. 351 Judy Smith: Discomfort & Humiliation Changed the Trajectory of Her Life Gail Zelitzky and Catherine Marienau 31:03

Judy Smith discovered that 70 would be the best year of her life after a devastating public humiliation at 67 by her now ex. Allowing herself to open up to new Relationships, social engagement and creative expression, she discovered that life became richer and she felt blessed as gratitude filled her soul. No stranger to discomfort, Judy previously suffered from grand mal seizures and lived with the fear of having one while out in the world trying to live her life. Judy’s first novel, “The Golden Years Glitch…..just when she thought she had it all”, became therapeutic, if a “little revengeful” for her. More than that it is a fictional story born out of her own experiences and embellished with imagination. Filled with humor, Judy discovered she is a writer and now visualizes expanding this book into a future series.

“Writing The Golden Years Glitch was therapeutic and a little bit revengeful.” – Judy Smith
