Sometimes when I listen to podcasts I make little notes in my phone or in Evernote of quotes to remember. If you do too, get your physical or electronic notepad ready. My guest today, Christine Handy, is here to share her personal experience of being a model for 40 years, her self esteem and how that shifted with breast cancer, and the impact of friends.  She is a mother of two, a breast cancer survivor, International speaker, accomplished model, and a Nationally recognized Humanitarian, and author of Walk Beside Me.

Faced with the unimaginable, Christine had to put her fabulous modeling career on hold when unexpected medical issues took horrendous turns for the worse. Through these trying times, she trusted in God and came out healed and stronger than ever. Christine’s eyes were opened to a new passion in life – sharing her story of hope and helping others. Her inspirational journey led her to embracing her self-esteem, devotion to God, and the value of friendship.
