WHO AM I?

Who Am I?

I’m Christy Greenleaf, and my story isn’t just about survival—it’s about owning every messy, beautiful moment life throws at us.

At 42, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and while I was still in treatment, my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. Life didn’t just knock me down—it demanded I rewrite the rules. Five years later, I’m not just surviving; I’m thriving, and I’ve made it my mission to help other women do the same.

Through REEL in Your Crazy, I create a space where women can break free from self-doubt, take up space, and show up confidently—because the world needs the whole damn masterpiece, not a watered-down version. Whether navigating the unspoken realities of breast cancer, menopause, or simply the chaos of life, I believe in tackling it all with knowledge, laughter, and candid truth.

Why This Work Matters

With over two decades in the disability insurance industry, I’ve seen firsthand how support systems shape recovery and resilience. But my true passion lies in connection—mentoring survivors, sharing real conversations on podcasts, and turning personal pain into powerful advocacy.

I speak from the heart, infusing humor into hard topics—because let’s be honest, healing is messy, and sometimes, laughter is the best medicine. From demystifying medical jargon to tackling the taboos of survivorship, menopause, intimacy, and body image, I believe in saying the things most people shy away from. Why? Because women deserve truth, not sugarcoating.

Beyond the Microphone

As a featured voice on Health Central and multiple podcasts, I break down the realities of survivorship, turning them into conversations that educate, empower, and inspire action. My signature talk, “REEL in Your Crazy: Embrace Your Power, Own Your Story,” is an unapologetic call to action for women ready to ditch self-doubt, step into confidence, and fully own their truth—no matter how messy, raw, or unexpected their journey has been.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned? Resilience is a family trait. My daughter Addy and I are making history as the first mother-daughter duo to compete in USOA Maine, stepping onto that stage as Mrs. Scarborough 2025 and Teen Scarborough 2025. Because confidence has no age limit—and neither does rewriting the narrative.

At home, life is just as full—my husband and I have four kids between us, which means I’ve mastered the art of balancing chaos with love, patience, and a whole lot of humor. Whether it’s juggling work, family, or the unexpected curveballs life throws, I know firsthand how important it is to find your support system, own your space, and never lose sight of who you are.

This Is Your Invitation

If you’re tired of playing small, if you’re ready to step into your full, unapologetic self, and if you believe that girlfriends are better than therapy, you’re in the right place.

Let’s REEL in Your Crazy and own every damn moment—together.

BACKSTORY

The Backstory: How REEL in Your Crazy Was Born

It all started with a post-divorce meltdown and a best friend who had zero tolerance for BS. When Christy Greenleaf was spiraling, her ride-or-die, Liz, hit her with a blunt reality check:

👉 “Girl, REEL in Your Crazy.”

At the time, Christy was juggling heartbreak, single mom life, and figuring out who the hell she was again. Fast-forward a few years, and life doubled down on the chaos—a breast cancer diagnosis at 42, followed by her husband’s colon cancer diagnosis during her treatment (because apparently, life likes plot twists).

She had two choices: let the crazy take over or grab the damn reel and own it. Spoiler alert: She chose the latter. And now? REEL in Your Crazy isn’t just a comeback line—it’s a full-on movement.

What the Hell Does "Reel in Your Crazy" Mean?

Let’s get one thing straight—this isn’t about shrinking yourself or quieting your chaos. It’s about owning every insane, messy, beautiful part of your story and showing up like the whole damn masterpiece you are—not some watered-down, "palatable" version.

It’s about kicking self-doubt to the curb, flipping off fear, and stepping into confidence with both middle fingers up (metaphorically... mostly).
