In this episode of Second Chances with Christy Belzs, we have a remarkable woman whose life story epitomizes the essence of resilience, adaptability, and wisdom. Chrissie Gillies, now approaching her 80s, takes us on a reflective journey through the pivotal moments that have shaped her into the empowered figure she is today.

From her bold move to Australia, Chrissie's narrative is not just one of success but of overcoming adversity and seizing life's second acts with both hands. She talked about the challenges she conquered in the nascent computer industry, her bold strides through the trials of divorce and single parenthood, and her remarkable climb to management after a return to the workforce at 40.

As we celebrate her upcoming 80s, Chrissie shares her 'six Cs' for thriving—wisdom that's as practical as it is profound, and a candid reflection on embracing the golden years with vigor and grace.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

• Maintaining relationships, curiosity, ability, bravery, and financial independence (the "six Cs") as essential components of leading a happy life in older age.

• The vitality of continuous self-reinvention, highlighting how one can have multiple acts in life and the strength it takes to adapt and transform at any age.

• The importance of maintaining bonds across generations, with the belief that these relationships enrich life and offer diverse perspectives and learning opportunities.

• Advocating for women to become financially independent as a necessary step toward obtaining security and personal freedom.
