A Life Well-Lived: Christine Handy

In this episode, breast cancer survivor, international speaker, author, model, and Club Member since 2003, Christine Handy shares her remarkable journey through illness, identity, and reinvention. From the runways of Miami and New York to the isolating world of hospital rooms and chemotherapy, Christine’s life was dramatically reshaped by a breast cancer diagnosis that forced her to confront everything she once believed about beauty, strength, and self-worth.

Rather than retreat, Christine emerged with a renewed sense of purpose. Through deep faith, a tight circle of devoted friends, and a desire to serve others, she became a voice for women navigating illness, self-image, and healing. Her memoir Walk Beside Me has inspired thousands, and her story now lives on in the award-winning film Hello Beautiful. In this powerful conversation, Christine reflects on the courage it takes to be vulnerable, the grace found in receiving help, and the legacy that can come from turning personal pain into public light.
