Welcome to the MEfirst Midlife Badassery Podcast, where weight loss, mindset, meditation, and real-life habits come together to help you stop fighting your body and start building a life you actually love.

We talk: Midlife weight loss & weight regainReal-life habit changeMeditation & nervous system workSpiritual growth without the fluffIdentity shifts & future-self embodiment Weight loss is part of the journey. But becoming is the point.

    S4 Ep 218: Eat Like Your Future Self | The F.U.E.L. Method for Weight Loss

    Okay, you guys… I ate all the sh*t in Maui last weekend. And still just got back up. It's getting faster- the getting back up, really not stopping, and just BEing. I realized something important:  When I lost 100+ pounds before, it didn’t happen because I judged myself into change. It happened because I became someone different around food. In this episode, I’m breaking down my F.U.E.L. Method — a simple identity-based framework to help you stop starting over and start becoming your future self. We talk about: • Facing your current eating patterns without shame  • Understanding who your future self actually is  • Planning & observing instead of obsessing  • Fasting as a tool (not punishment)  • Dopamine, alcohol, and emotional capacity  • Why naturally thin people self-regulate differently  • A guided future self vision  • EFT tapping to anchor it all Midlife badassery is about becoming someone who doesn’t lose herself around food. If you’re tired of Monday resets, this one’s for you.

    S4 Ep 217: What’s Your Weight Loss Alter Ego? The 4 Archetypes That Shape Your Results

    Have you ever felt like the version of you who lost weight before… just doesn’t work anymore? Or like you keep starting strong, then something shifts — and you can’t figure out why? It’s not a willpower problem. It’s an identity pattern. In this episode, I’m breaking down the 4 Weight Loss Alter Ego Archetypes and how building an intentional alter ego can change the way you approach food, habits, discipline, and self-trust. Because sustainable weight loss isn’t about trying harder. It’s about becoming the right version of you. In This Episode We Explore: Why alter egos aren’t fake — they’re identity toolsHow archetypes explain your change patternWhy discipline alone doesn’t work long-termThe difference between forcing change and embodying itHow to invoke the right archetype before your next decisionThe 4 Weight Loss Archetypes 🧙‍♀️ The Witch Needs safety, nervous system regulation, and reconnection before change sticks. 🛡️ The Warrior Thrives on structure and follow-through — but burns out when intensity replaces sustainability. 👑 The Queen Transforms when self-respect replaces self-abandonment and people-pleasing. 🔥🧪 The Alchemist Reinvents and evolves when old identities no longer fit. The Core Truth You don’t eat differently because of discipline. You eat differently because of who is online. Habits stick when they match identity.  Identity stabilizes through embodiment. Weight loss becomes sustainable when it’s a side effect of who you’re being — not what you’re forcing. Try This Before your next meal, walk, or decision, pause and ask: Which archetype do I need right now? Then let her lead. If this episode resonated, share it with another woman who’s ready to stop fighting herself and start evolving. And if you’re ready to go deeper into building your alter ego and embodying your next identity, the Alter Ego Lab is open in the Midlife Badassery Skool community. You don’t need more rules.  You need the right version of you leading.

    S4 Ep 216: This Is the Work — A Real-Life Future Self Moment

    This episode wasn’t planned. 💞 My Heart was on fire and she insisted. I recorded it in a real moment after I felt off, overwhelmed, and was pushing myself in ways that didn’t feel aligned. Instead of forcing my way through it, I chose something different, and what unfolded felt important to share. This episode captures a real-life future self embodiment moment, shared exactly as it happened. Inside this episode, I talk about: What to do when you feel out of sorts or disconnectedHow I practice stepping into my future self in everyday momentsWhy choosing presence over pushing can change everythingHow small, embodied actions shift your state and identityWhat this has to do with weight loss, self-trust, and staying in the workThis isn’t about quitting or giving up.  It’s about staying — and choosing differently when it matters. If you’ve been craving a more grounded, embodied way to move through growth (especially in midlife), this episode is for you. xo The Steadfast Slayer The HOT new SKOOL community Midlife Badassery is open HERE FOLLOW/WATCH ON YOUTUBE addiebeall55 Free Visioning Meditation (goes with Ep 160 Unlock Your Future: Create Vision for Midlife Transformation) Get Social with Me!

    S3 Ep 215: Your Body Is the Asset: Why Discipline Isn’t Working in Midlife Weight Loss

    What if taking care of yourself wasn’t another thing on your never-ending to-do list… but the way you become who you’re meant to be? In this episode, Addie digs into why discipline, control, and “trying harder” stop working in midlife weight loss—and what actually changes when you stop treating your body like a problem to fix and start treating yourself as the asset. Inspired by a powerful post inside the Midlife Badassery community, this conversation reframes health from obligation to devotion—and explores what happens when self-care comes from honor instead of punishment. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about protecting your energy, rebuilding trust with your body, and becoming HER without burning yourself out. In this episode, we cover: Why discipline and white-knuckling keep failing in midlifeThe shift from “managing yourself” to honoring yourselfHow seeing your body as an asset changes weight loss, energy, and mindsetWhat to do after a setback instead of spiraling or starting overFood that satisfiesThe role of awareness, vision, and self-trust in sustainable changeWhy community makes this journey easier (and way more fun)If you’re tired of starting over, tired of fighting your body, and ready for a new way forward—this episode is your permission slip. ✨ Your health isn’t your duty.  It’s your devotion to who you’re becoming.

    S4 Ep 214: Losing 100 Pounds by Becoming Her: Big Dreams, Alter Egos & Midlife Weight Loss

    This episode is BIG DREAM ENERGY — the kind that cracks you open, lights you up. Midlife is not the end… it’s the upgrade. I’m sharing what’s unfolding right now as I lose 100 pounds by becoming her — not starting over, not fighting my body, and not forcing myself into another plan that was never built for me in the first place. This one is fun, real, and full of future-self magic. We’re riffing on: Why quitting my job and releasing weight were part of the same soul-level decisionBig dream energy and why visioning Alter egos, archetypes, and how “What would she do?” changes everythingWhy the scale stalled — and how I adjusted without spiraling or self-shamingFood, fasting, salad drawers, and making habits feel easierFull-circle moment: a message from my past self that landed six years later, the same week I opened this new community!Why becoming the woman who lives the life makes weight loss inevitableIf you’ve ever thought: I know there’s more for meI’m done starting overMidlife can’t be it… right?This episode is your sign. ✨ Don’t stop dreaming.  ✨ Don’t stop visioning.  ✨ Don’t stop becoming. We’re doing this differently now — with curiosity, self-trust, play, and community. No guru energy. No perfection. Just real women, big dreams, and forward momentum. Come hang out, build your alter ego, and let this be fun again. Big dream energy only.

    S4 Ep 213: What Commitment Really Looks Like (Season 4 Opener)

    Season 4 is officially here. In this episode, I’m sharing why I’m losing 100 pounds again — out loud, on purpose, and without shame. Not because my body is broken, but because I’m building a life that actually fits me. We’re kicking off the season with the Four C’s — a framework from Dan Sullivan that perfectly captures what it really takes to create meaningful change: Commitment, Courage, Capability, and Confidence. This conversation is about what commitment actually looks like — beyond motivation, willpower, or trying harder. It’s about deciding, showing up when it’s messy, and rebuilding trust with yourself along the way. This season, I’m sharing the journey in real time — the habits, mindset, emotions, and courage it sees to start again — and inviting you to walk it with me. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why commitment is a decision, not a feelingWhat it really means to go all in on yourselfHow courage shows up in food, habits, and emotional honestyWhy capability is built through small, repeatable actionsHow confidence is earned by showing up — even when things go sidewaysWhy weight struggles often point to deeper misalignmentThe power of community when you’re doing hard thingsAn Invitation If you’ve been feeling stuck…  If you’ve been dreaming but not deciding…  If you know there’s more for you, but you’re not sure how to reach it yet… You’re not alone — and you’re not too late. Season 4 is about daring to dream bigger and building the capacity to live the life you actually want. Let’s make it bigger than you can even imagine. Let’s go.

    S3 FINALE Ep 212: Back on the Mountain: The Weight Came Back, But I Didn’t

    This episode is a full-circle moment. I’m back on the mountain that saved my life — the place where what I thought was a weight loss journey cracked open into something so much bigger. As I close out Season 3 of the MEfirst Midlife Badassery Podcast, I’m reflecting on what’s changed, what hasn’t, and why regaining weight doesn’t mean going backwards. This episode isn’t about diets.  It’s about identity, space, stillness, purpose, and choosing the next chapter on purpose. I talk about: Why weight loss was never the real goal — it was the doorwayWhat I discovered about myself the first time I lost 100 poundsHow regaining weight didn’t erase the transformationWhy midlife weight gain doesn’t mean failureThe connection between stillness, space, and geniusHow food, scrolling, and over-consuming block intuitionWhat I want my real life to look like in 2026Why community matters more than ever in midlifeThe rebirth of Slayer — wiser, steadier, and more intentionalAnd why Season 4 is about discovery, not starting overThis episode marks the end of Season 3 — and the quiet before a powerful new beginning. Season 4 kicks off next week, and we’re going deeper:  ✨ future self  ✨ identity shifts  ✨ weight loss without diet culture  ✨ alter ego energy  ✨ and building a life you actually want to wake up to If you’ve ever felt like: You’re meant for moreYour body isn’t the problemOr this chapter of life is asking something different of youYou’re in the right place. 🎧 Slayer out (for now).

    S3 Ep 211: Overwhelmed but Still Showing Up | Imperfect Action in Midlife

    What’s up, witches and bitches 🖤 This episode is coming straight from the middle of it — not the other side, not the polished lesson, not the “here’s how I fixed myself” version. I was overwhelmed.  I was spiraling.  I hid in food, Netflix, and avoidance.  And I almost didn’t hit record. But this is the work.  Showing up anyway. In this episode, I’m sharing: What overwhelm is actually telling us (hint: it’s not failure)Why waiting to feel better keeps us stuckHow I get out of my head without needing motivationThe difference between perfection and embodimentWhy weight, overwhelm, and soul alignment are always connectedHow your future self is built in messy, ordinary moments like this oneThis isn’t a how-to.  This is a how-I’m-doing-it-in-real-time conversation. If you’re a midlife woman who feels: BehindHeavy (in body or life)Like you should have it figured out by nowTired of disappearing when things get hard…this episode is for you. You don’t need to fix yourself.  You don’t need to calm down first.  You don’t need to be ready. You just need to keep showing up — imperfectly, honestly, as you are. ✨ That’s how she is built.
