What happens when a childhood cancer survivor, a Romance Languages major, and a champion for teens grows up to become one of the most dedicated District Court Judges in Moore and Hoke Counties? You get Judge Beth Tanner — a woman whose story is as compelling as her commitment to justice.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, host Rose Young sits down with Judge Tanner for a conversation that moves from deeply human to unexpectedly funny, offering listeners a rare look behind the robe.

You’ll hear about: ✨ The surprising path that led her from literature to law ✨ How surviving cancer shaped her compassion and resilience ✨ Why she invests so fiercely in teenagers through Teen Court, debate, and mock trial ✨ What District Court really handles and why it impacts all of us ✨ Practical wisdom for small-business owners ✨ The heart and philosophy that guide her decisions on the bench ✨ And yes — the Victorian home with gavels carved into the staircase

Whether you're a longtime Moore County resident, a new neighbor, a parent, an entrepreneur, or simply someone who loves a good story about purpose and perseverance, this episode will leave you inspired and proud of the leadership in our community.

Stay to the end for the Firecracker Round and a custom jingle written just for Judge Tanner.
