Midlife weight loss for women 40+ who know what to do, but can’t seem to stop starting over. If you’ve been on a diet since 1987, lost weight and regained it, or find yourself waiting for another Monday to get your shit together, welcome to MEfirst Midlife Badassery. I’m Addie Beall, a Certified Life Coach, Fast Like a Girl Coach, Meditation and Yoga Instructor, (yeah, I like to learn ALL the things too) and creator of the MEfirst system. I lost 120+ pounds, spent years coaching other women through their own transformations, then regained 80 pounds during a major health detour. Now I get to put the system I created and coached others through to the ultimate test: using it on myself. I’m losing 100 pounds again, and we’re doing it in real time, together, right here. We talk weight loss after 40 and 50, weight regain, mindset, identity, habits, self-trust, meditation, future-self work, big dreams, and how to actually implement what you know when real life gets messy. Because weight loss might be the quest that brings you here, but we’re building something bigger. 🔥 Stop trying to be good at losing weight. Start becoming good at living your life.

    S4 Ep 251: 5 Steps to Manifest Weight Loss (Without Starting Over)

    What if the thing that helps you get unstuck on your weight-loss journey... came from a book about manifesting money? 😂 A few years ago, while I was deep into my first 120-pound weight-loss quest, I was reading Denise Duffield-Thomas’s Get Rich, Lucky Bitch. She teaches five simple steps for manifesting money, and naturally I thought: What if I tried this shit on weight loss? So I did. I taught workshops about it. I recorded a podcast series. And recently, as I went back and listened to Addie circa 2023, I had a pretty big realization: Holy shit. I never stopped doing these things. They show up throughout the way I live, plan, coach, and use my MEfirst Guide. And after losing 120+ pounds, regaining 80 during a major health and life shift, and now the scale is moving again, I understand them on a completely different level. In this episode, we're talking about: ✨ Step 1: Declutter — old stories, limiting beliefs, physical clutter, food environments and the shit you keep telling yourself about who you are. 🎯 Step 2: Get Specific — because “I want to lose weight” isn't much of a destination. 💜 Step 3: Self-Love + Positive Vibes — tapping, meditation, Future Self, coaching, community, joy... throw some shit at the goal. 🔥 Step 4: Inspired Action — the tiny actions that show yourself (and maybe the Universe 👀) where you're actually going. 🔮 Step 5: Receive — including the aha I had THIS WEEK about what receiving actually feels like. Hint: Christmas morning. This isn't about sitting on the couch thinking skinny thoughts. It's about getting clear on what you want, clearing what's in the way, becoming the woman who can create it, taking action toward it, and being willing to receive the change you're asking for. And the best part? It's not linear. If you're stuck, you don't have to throw everything away and start over. Maybe there's simply a part of the process you need to come back to. This is where weight loss meets the woo. Mind work. Soul work. Identity work. And throughout October, we're taking these five steps and actually DOING them together inside Midlife Badassery, my Transformation Skool for midlife women. Small actions. Live implementation. Experiments. Replays. A little woo. Probably some weird shit. 😂 Come play with us. 🔥 📚 Credit: The original five-step manifestation process discussed in this episode comes from Denise Duffield-Thomas’s Get Rich, Lucky Bitch, where she teaches the steps in the context of manifesting money. I experimented with applying them to weight loss and was fascinated by how naturally they mapped onto the identity and implementation work I was already doing through MEfirst Join The Transformation 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!

    S4 Ep 250: 7 Ways I Stopped Starting Over on My Weight Loss Journey

    What if you don't actually need to start over? We keep thinking the goal is to get so good at weight loss that eventually nothing goes wrong. The perfect Monday. The perfect plan. The perfect week. Except...life keeps f*****g happening. 😂 The vacation. The s****y night's sleep. The Little Debbie. The week where you stop giving a shit altogether. What if none of that means you're off track? I lost 120+ pounds, regained 80, and I'm losing it again. And one of the biggest things I've learned through BOTH journeys is that the skill isn't perfection. It's knowing what to do next. In this Slayer RIFF, I'm sharing the 7 things that have helped me stop starting over: 🔥 Remembering that every moment is another choice  🧠 Choosing ahead of time before tired brain takes over  🐒 Anticipating Monkey Brain  👯 Surrounding myself with women on the ride  🧭 Having a system that keeps me on the path  ✨ Staying curious, learning + growing  🚫 Stepping away from perfect Because one choice doesn't ruin your week. One obstacle doesn't mean you failed. And gaining weight doesn't erase who you've become or everything you've learned. You don't need another Monday. You need to know what to do next. 🔥 Come get on the ride with us inside Midlife Badassery Join The Transformation 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!

    S4 Ep 249: A Slayer RIFF How I’m Using Big Dreams, Weight Loss Goals & Habits to Build a Life I Actually Want (Losing 100 pounds AGAIN)

    I’m losing 100 pounds again, and yes, losing the weight is absolutely one of my goals. I weigh in. I measure it. I build systems and habits to help me get there. But here’s what I’ve been thinking about lately: What am I losing the weight FOR? Because my vision for my life is a whole lot bigger than a number on the scale. In this MEfirst Midlife Badassery RIFF, I’m talking about how I’m defining what success actually looks like for ME, dreaming bigger about the life I want to create, and then using that bigger vision to give my weight loss goals, business goals and other goals a WHY that actually matters to me. We get into goal setting, future-self work, identity, habits and systems, and how I’m even using AI to help me take the big-ass vision in my head and turn it into things I can actually practice in my real life. Because maybe the question isn’t only: “How much weight do I want to lose?” Maybe it’s also: “What do I want to be able to DO with this life?” I lost 120+ pounds before, regained 80 during a major health detour, and now I’m 33 pounds down on my journey to lose 100 again. And this time, I’m not waiting until I reach the goal weight to build the life I want. 🔥 Stop trying to be good at losing weight. Start becoming good at living your life. In this episode: weight loss after 50, losing 100 pounds, weight loss goals, defining success for yourself, creating a bigger vision, future-self work, identity, habits and systems, using AI for goal setting, and building a life you actually want.

    S4 Ep 248: What’s Affecting Your Body After 40? It’s Not What You Think | Sharon Yeh, PharmD

    What if some of the things affecting your energy, hunger, hormones, sleep and weight have a whole lot less to do with willpower than you think? Today I'm going down the health rabbit hole with my friend Sharon Yeh, PharmD, and this conversation went exactly where you'd expect one of my conversations to go. 😂 Sharon spent years working as a pharmacist in the traditional healthcare system before her own curiosity led her into functional medicine, root-cause health and the tiny little powerhouses inside our cells that most of us haven't thought about since high school biology: our mitochondria. And THIS is where it gets fascinating. We talk about what happens when your body perceives danger, why creating signals of safety matters, and how things we rarely connect to weight loss, like morning light, darkness at night, screen exposure, circadian rhythm and even the timing of our food, may affect what's happening inside our bodies. We also wander into hormones, hunger, leptin, cholesterol, menopause, toxins, stress, digestion and why two women can seemingly “do the same things” and have very different experiences. And, of course, I bring some of my own story into this one because after losing 120+ pounds, going through a major health crisis and regaining weight, I've become VERY interested in a different question: What does my body actually need from me? This isn't another list of things you're doing wrong. It's an invitation to get curious about the body you're actually living in. Grab your walking shoes, open your brain, and come geek out with us. ☀️🧬 Chapters 00:00 Why My Weight-Loss Journey Sent Me Down the Health Rabbit Hole 02:55 From Pharmacist to “There Has to Be Something More” 07:22 Discovering Functional Medicine 09:28 Why Root Cause Changed Everything 12:07 What Does the Body Actually Need to Heal? 14:31 Mitochondria: More Than the Powerhouse of the Cell 19:09 What Affects Our Mitochondria? 21:11 When the Body Senses Danger 23:39 Cellular Danger, Sensitivity & My Own Health Crisis 26:37 Sharon's Cellular Radiance Map 28:49 Blue Light, Screens & Why Addie Wears Those Orange Glasses 😂 30:50 What Vegas Can Teach Us About Light 32:59 One Tiny Habit: Open the Damn Blinds 35:17 Safety, Stress, Toxic Load & Weight 37:38 Giving the Body Safety Signals 40:21 Circadian Rhythm, Digestion & Meal Timing 42:48 Eating Late, Digestion & Listening to Your Body 45:20 Following Your Local Light & Dark Cycle 47:49 Light, Hunger & Leptin 49:47 Mitochondria, Cholesterol & Your Hormones 52:23 Can Your Body Receive What You're Giving It? 55:00 Menopause, Cycles & Another Rabbit Hole 😂 57:21 Food, Fats & More Mitochondria Questions 59:28 One Thing to Take Away: You Are Light ☀️ Join The Transformation 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!

    S4 Ep 247: Losing Weight With My Brain: A Slayer RIFF at 33 Pounds Down

    Apparently I'm losing weight with my brain. 😂🧠 - ya know, sometimes it's my heart and soul. heh. BE WARNED: There are a lot of F bombs in here...I just was in the mode. lol. Listen with caution. ha! The Laura Lou episode I published and a lot of fun to watch on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/live/KNFLI_AgjEc?feature=share Welcome to a Slayer RIFF, where I turn on the mic and take you inside what I'm actually thinking, learning, practicing and occasionally f*****g up while I lose 100 pounds again. I'm officially 33 pounds down, and this week I'm riffing on the part of weight loss that has very little to do with knowing what to eat or whether I should go for a walk. It's the thoughts. The awareness. The evidence we're collecting about ourselves. The rooms we put ourselves in. The little actions that don't look particularly impressive until one day you realize...holy shit, you're different. After being on a diet since 1987, I don't think my answer is another diet. I think a huge part of my answer is learning to use my brain differently. This isn't a perfectly packaged lesson. It's me, Slayer, 33 pounds into the experiment, sharing what I'm noticing from right here in the messy middle. Journey to 100: 33 down. 67 to go. Let's f*****g go. 🔥 Join The Transformation 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!

    S4 Ep 246: Is Your Intuition Trying to Tell You Something? | Psychic Medium Laura Lou

    Are you more intuitive than you think? I have a psychic medium at my disposal... so obviously I have questions. 😂🔮 My guest is my longtime friend Laura Lou, psychic medium and intuitive healer. And when I say longtime, I mean Brownies, friendship bracelets and questionable junior-high fashion choices longtime. But somewhere between Brownies and becoming an out-of-the-closet psychic medium, some shit happened. Laura shares the first psychic experiences she remembers as a tiny kid, what happened when the adults around her didn't quite know what to do with her gifts, the experience that scared her enough to shut it all down, and how those gifts eventually cracked back open years later. And here's where it gets especially fascinating for me... One of the breadcrumbs was Alter Ego. Laura came through one of my original Alter Ego experiences and discovered Brigid, the identity that helped her explore a part of herself she'd never fully given herself permission to access. We talk about what happens when an Alter Ego doesn't create somebody new, but instead opens the door to something that may have been there all along. Then we go ALL the places. 😂 We talk about whether everyone is intuitive, what intuition actually feels like in the body, intuition vs. fear and anxiety, psychic abilities, mediumship, spirit guides, energetic boundaries, free will, signs, self-trust and why slowing down enough to hear yourself might matter more than learning another damn thing. And Laura shares some WILD stories from her own journey. If you've ever thought... Was that intuition? A coincidence? Anxiety? Or is my brain just making shit up? Come play with us. You don't have to call yourself spiritual.  You don't have to believe all the things.  You don't need any woo credentials. Curiosity is plenty. 🔮✨ Chapters These are based on the actual edited SRT timing, so they should line up with the Buzzsprout audio as long as you're uploading this same edit: 00:00 I Have a Psychic Medium at My Disposal 😂 01:13 From Brownies to Psychic Medium 02:10 Laura's Psychic Experiences Started at Age 3 04:04 The Experience That Scared Her Enough to Shut It Down 06:29 Religion, Spirituality & Finding Your Own Connection 08:48 What Happens When a Child's Intuitive Gifts Aren't Nurtured? 10:42 Can We Use Intuition in Weight Loss & Everyday Decisions? 14:33 How Laura Cracked Open Her Mediumship 15:09 The Alter Ego Experience That Changed Everything 18:57 Are We ALL Psychic or Intuitive? 21:56 What Does Intuition Actually Feel Like? 25:40 Intuition vs. Fear: How Do You Know the Difference? 29:00 Energy, Frequency & Learning to Trust Yourself 32:00 Your Body, Anxiety & Unexpressed Energy 36:43 How Alter Ego Helped Laura Step Into Her Gifts 39:16 Alter Ego, Health & “The Weight Is a Byproduct” 42:00 The Weird Shit: Mediumship & Spirit Stories 👻 44:00 Setting Boundaries With Spirit & Energy 47:00 Spirit Guides: Who Are They & Do They Change? 49:00 Psychic Predictions, Timelines & Free Will 52:44 Laura's Academy of Magic & Mischief 55:00 One Last Rabbit Hole 😂 Join The Transformation 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!

    S4 Ep 245: Signs & Synchronicities, Food Protocols, Mindset, Core Values & Goals

    I asked the universe for a sign that I was on the right path... and then came 11:11, Sharpshooter, and a freaking dragonfly. 😂 This week's RIFF goes everywhere in the best possible way. We're talking signs and synchronicities, food protocols, mindset, meditation, core values, goals, and the deeper WHY underneath my natural weight loss journey after 50. I share how I'm using food protocols to make decisions ahead of time with my smart brain, while also paying attention to what happens when monkey mind wants something else. This isn't about another rigid diet or being perfect. It's about awareness, learning what works for your body, and making the next better choice.  Then we get into something that's been rolling around in my brain: What if the goal you're chasing isn't actually connected to what you value most? Weight loss was the quest I knew how to start. But underneath health, underneath losing weight, underneath all those whys, I found something much bigger for me: freedom. Freedom to travel. Explore. Experience my life. Build my business. Listen to my soul. Do whatever the f**k I want to do. And maybe THAT is why some goals pull us forward while others feel like we're dragging ourselves through the mud. We're also talking about continuing to dream, plan, vision, meditate and take those tiny actions during the seasons when it feels like absolutely nothing is happening... because sometimes you've been doing the work for years before everybody else suddenly thinks your transformation happened overnight.  Apparently no matter where I start these RIFFs, we eventually end up at the same place: Woo + weight loss. 😂 Come get your woo on, bitches. ✨ Join The Transformation 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!
