How did Christine decide to reinvent her life at 50 after a failing marriage?
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.
Christine Fox is a dedicated, experienced, and client-focused realtor with over 15 years in the real estate industry. Serving Florida's Emerald Coast, she is known for her local expertise, personalized service, and commitment to helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals.
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...
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast. For those who live to leave a legacy. That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational.

Hello, welcome back to another episode of Living Your Legacy Podcast.
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.
I'm Christine Fox. I am from Destin, Florida.
All right, Destin. Is that in Panhandle? Where's Destin?
Destin's in the Panhandle. It's between Pensacola and Panama City Beach.
Okay, so you drove or took a flight here?
Oh, I flew.
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.
It's a 10-hour drive.
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?
Oh, filming was great. I truly enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. And of course, my guy was wonderful.
Yeah.
Helped me along.
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
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?
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?
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.
Oh, okay. So starting over at 50, I mean, that's probably takes a big leap, right?
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.
Wow. And what were you escaping, I guess?
Well, I was escaping loss of identity through a failing marriage.
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?
Well, kind of, yes. I'm not solo. I did remarry.
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.
