Identity and Transition in the Silver Years

Send us a text

Lisa Gilliam, 65 now, found herself in 2020 at loose ends. It was the beginning of the pandemic, and she experienced many changes in a short time: losing her job because of the pandemic, moving to a city from the country, and being unable to see her grandchildren, whom she was very close to. She wondered, what do I do
now?

Lisa tells an inspiring story of how she navigated big life transitions in her sixties, including age discrimination in her job search, empty nest grieving with both children and grandchildren, and learning the value of creativity as a healing process.

Find out why these ideas are important to Lisa, and how they can also help you through life transitions:

 Ask yourself, what do you LIKE to do?
 Be kind to yourself.
 It’s OK to quit something you no longer like to do.
 Embrace who you are, and be your own advocate.
 Choose to enjoy life and participate fully in it.

Thank you for listening.
