Trapped Then Set Free
In 2004, Georgette began her rollercoaster ride on “Trapped in an Unwanted Body.” At that time, she was four years into her marriage with who she thought was her soul mate, she began facing the feelings of rejection and lacking self-esteem. She was in an uphill battle with a downward spiral of experiencing weight problems that were followed by health issues. Four years later, after her marriage ended, she looked in the mirror to only see that the person she was looking at was no longer familiar to her. This is when her personal walk with the Lord revealed to her that the issues we all face in life is not for us, but for us to be able to help the next person that did not have an outlet of being free of an unwanted body. Her testimony of being trapped in an unwanted body has led her to creating an organization called Trapped then Set Free LLC. As the Holy Spirit led her to share her story with others, she began hearing of others being trapped and seeking to be free.
