There is always purpose in pain. Today’s guest knows this first hand as her breast cancer diagnosis halted her modeling career and shifted everything she once believed about external beauty and what she was living for. This week on Journeys Through Change, my guest Christine Handy and I are talking about how surviving her own battle helped her find purpose in pain to become an international breast cancer advocate and ambassador.
Christine Handy is a mother of two, a breast cancer survivor, an International speaker, an accomplished model, Best selling author, and a Nationally recognized Humanitarian. She has truly seen it all and has overcome all odds. Christine’s motto is: There is always Purpose in Pain, but we have to be willing to share the story. Her life-long passion for writing has finally come full circle with an incredible story to share.
In this episode, Christine and I discuss:
- The lessons Christine was shown time and time again to put less focus on her external appearance that she wasn’t yet ready to learn.
- Letting go of our hyper focus on the outcome of things and focusing on the purpose.
- The pause that came from chemotherapy gave Christine the space she needed to reevaluate her priorities in life.
- Christine’s unconventional approach to retraining her brain after chemo by getting her masters at Harvard.
Every day is a gift. And if you actually believe that, you’ll live your life differently.
