In this powerful episode of Junk to Jewels, Georgette sits down with her dear friend Caite Corrippo, a certified board-certified health and wellness coach and co-founder of Healthy and Vibrant. Caite shares her incredible transformation story—from struggling with 80 pounds of excess weight while climbing the corporate ladder as a CPA and executive, to reclaiming her health and helping thousands of women do the same.

Growing up as one of eight kids in Philadelphia with her identical twin sister Beth, Caite learned early about resilience, family bonds, and making your own way. She shares candidly about being mistaken for the same person, receiving one birthday gift to share, and the journey of establishing her own identity—including the pivotal moment when she told her twin they needed to attend different colleges.

Caite opens up about divine interventions that shaped her path—from a high school injury that redirected her academic track toward accounting, to an unexpected layoff that became the doorway to meeting her husband of 28 years in Florida. She reveals the courageous conversation that saved her relationship, when she gave her future husband space to decide if marriage was truly what he wanted, even though that week of waiting was one of the hardest of her life.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Caite discusses her weight loss journey, breaking free from generational patterns, and the grief that came with losing her father unexpectedly. She shares practical wisdom about why reaching your goal weight is just the beginning, not the end, and how every day requires putting on your boxing gloves to maintain healthy habits. Her favorite affirmations—"Let go and let God" and "I cast this burden on the Christ within and I go free"—have carried her through the toughest seasons.

Now working alongside her twin sister in their health and wellness company, Caite has come full circle. She discusses the importance of understanding structural tension—the gap between where you are and where you want to be—and breaking big goals into manageable daily steps. Her message is clear: it's never too late to transform your life, reclaim your health, and pursue your dreams. Whether you're struggling with weight, career transitions, or finding the courage to make a change, Caite's story will inspire you to keep believing and never give up.
