In this episode of Inspire Global Radio, we sit down with Christine, a retired teacher and survivor of the 2023 Lahaina wildfires.

She shares her experience of escaping the fire, healing from burn injuries, and adjusting to life in a new city after losing her home. With honesty and perspective, Christine reflects on what it means to start over later in life, the importance of community support, and how her values shaped her path through recovery.

This conversation explores resilience, dignity, and the quiet strength it takes to begin again—offering insight not only into one person’s journey, but into what it means to care for ourselves and each other in times of crisis.
