How did Christine decide to reinvent her life at 50 after a failing marriage?

Christine Fox 0:00
I was escaping loss of identity through a failing marriage. To reinvent yourself at 50, it is scary, especially for a woman and a woman who hasn't worked in many years. It took a huge leap for me to turn over at 50, thinking that I was too old, you know, I can't do it. What am I going to do? But no, it's never too late.

Being here and doing all this today has reminded me how far I've come. It was such a scary journey in the beginning to just give up everything and to come up to Destin not knowing anyone and making a life. Of course, being a woman, you know, I was 50 and I thought, well, what guy's going to want a 50-year-old? He can get a young girl. So I thought my chances of ever finding a lasting relationship was slim to none. But that...

Hello, welcome back to another episode of Living Your Legacy Podcast.
Jay Slangen 1:48
I'm your host again today, Jay Slangen. We're here in sunny and beautiful Miami Beach, Florida. And we have a special guest who just came from the pink room that we have next door. And she brought the pink into the podcast room. She's looking quite fabulous. And yeah, introduce yourself.
Christine Fox 2:07
I'm Christine Fox. I am from Destin, Florida.
Jay Slangen 2:11
All right, Destin. Is that in Panhandle? Where's Destin?
Christine Fox 2:15
Destin's in the Panhandle. It's between Pensacola and Panama City Beach.
Jay Slangen 2:20
Okay, so you drove or took a flight here?
Christine Fox 2:23
Oh, I flew.
Jay Slangen 2:24
Okay, okay. I'm new to Florida. It's like two years now, so I'm still getting the layout of the land and how big it is.
Christine Fox 2:32
It's a 10-hour drive.
Jay Slangen 2:33
Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'm originally from Connecticut, so 10 hours would land me in, like, I don't know, maybe North Carolina or something, right? So it's a big state. Anyways, yeah. So I heard you just got off the set. How was filming and everything?
Christine Fox 2:49
Oh, filming was great. I truly enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. And of course, my guy was wonderful.
Jay Slangen 2:55
Yeah.
Christine Fox 2:56
Helped me along.
Jay Slangen 2:57
And were you nervous before? And how did it kind of pan out when you were finally in the chair? wasn't nervous yeah i i wasn't nervous i think i had more to say than i needed to say if that makes any sense hey more is always better right all right and so yeah i i heard a lot of interesting things about you that you kind of had this whole rediscovery and new outlook on life which is uh just sounds wonderful so tell us a little bit about uh yourself actually first what do you what do you do
Christine Fox 3:31
I am a realtor and an artist. I prefer to spend more time with my art than real estate, but real estate does pay the bills pretty well. Yeah. I don't know. What else did you want to know for me?
Jay Slangen 3:47
Yeah, you had this kind of new outlook on life. And so where did that stem from? And why is it a new outlook on life?
Christine Fox 3:55
It's a new outlet for me. There's two, there's one where I started over at 50 years of age. And the second one was more recent having a heart attack earlier this year.
Jay Slangen 4:07
Oh, okay. So starting over at 50, I mean, that's probably takes a big leap, right?
Christine Fox 4:14
It took a huge leap for me to turn over at 50, thinking that I was too old, you know, I can't do it. What am I going to do? But no, it's never too late.
Jay Slangen 4:24
Wow. And what were you escaping, I guess?
Christine Fox 4:29
Well, I was escaping loss of identity through a failing marriage.
Jay Slangen 4:33
Okay, yeah. So that's even a bigger leap, right? Because you're solo now and you're kind of almost a later midlife crisis, if you kind of want to say it that way, right?
Christine Fox 4:48
Well, kind of, yes. I'm not solo. I did remarry.
Jay Slangen 4:51
Oh, okay. Great. So you did have support, but reinventing yourself at that age, uh, I'm sure it's, it's scary on, on everyone.
