Christina Joy McMahon’s story

Christina Joy McMahon is a serial entrepreneur, luxury real estate agent, YouTuber, flight attendant, and single mom whose life is a radiant example of reinvention. After navigating a painful divorce, Christina rebuilt from the ground up, transforming grief into grace and purpose into passion.

She’s the creator of the YouTube channel Luxury Living in Palm Springs, where she shares design inspiration, real estate insight, lifestyle vlogs, and soulful reflections for women over 40 who are ready to expand and evolve.

As Chapter President of the Posh Mama Club in the Coachella Valley, Christina creates vibrant spaces for women to gather, grow, and celebrate life together. Her events are stylish, soulful, and rooted in sisterhood.

She’s a proud serial entrepreneur with a fierce creative spark and an unshakable belief in fresh starts. Her greatest role, however, is being mom to her daughter, Brooklyn, her best friend and the love of her life. Whether she’s closing a deal, hosting an event, traveling the world, or dancing in her kitchen, Christina leads with joy, movement, and meaning.

She believes life after 40 should feel playful, purposeful, and free—and she’s here to remind women everywhere: it’s never too late to rise.
