    Ep. 96: Softening Is the Upgrade: Let That Sh*t Go

    Question or comment? Send a one-way text to Age Like a Badass Mother. Include your email so I can answer you back. In this episode, I’m talking about what it actually means to “let that sh*t go," not in a bypass-y, pretend-it’s-fine way, but in a deeply human, nervous-system-level shift that can change how you feel in your body, your relationships, and your life. I share personal stories, simple practices you can use immediately, and a shift in perspective that might just make everything feel a little lighter. What I Cover Why so many of us are stuck in a chronic stress state (and don’t even realize it)What “softening” actually looks like: emotionally and physicallyHow to shift out of fight-or-flight and into calm, connection, and clarityThe surprising lesson we can learn from our dogHow softening can transform your relationships, especially with familyThe role of forgiveness (including forgiving yourself) in letting goReframing hard situations as something you choseThis episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient Grains https://www.ancientgrains.com/ Free Shipping https://www.ancientgrains.com/shipping-policy Websites, Cookbook, Classes, and Merch https://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/ https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/ https://wellelephant.com/ ACE Plant-based Eating Course https://discover.wellelephant.com/ace-plant-based-eating-course-reg/ Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/

That turned into a career, a thriving community, and a whole new chapter of life. Lauren chats with Brandi Doming, creator of The Vegan 8, to discuss how plant-based eating can transform not just your health but also your confidence and direction in midlife. Brandi also talks candidly about her journey through peri-menopause. She believes her diet and lifestyle have kept her experience mostly mild.  Beyond food, they dive into dating in midlife, workouts to build muscle, ballroom dancing, grieving her parents, and choosing to live more honestly. At 50, Brandi is living with intention and fewer regrets.  In This Episode: Reinvention after 50: navigating grief, divorce, and starting overPlant-based health and nutrition for midlife womenMenopause, energy, and body changes in your 50sDating and confidence after divorceMovement and fitness that brings joy, not punishmentSkincare and aging gracefully for midlifeSimple, protein-rich plant-based recipes https://thevegan8.com/ Homemade Exfoliating Mask https://thevegan8.com/homemade-strawberry-rice-flour-mask/#recipejump This episode is sponsored by Grand Teton Ancient Grains https://www.ancientgrains.com/ Free Shipping https://www.ancientgrains.com/shipping-policy Websites, Cookbook, Classes, and Merch https://wellelephant.com/ecookbook/ https://www.agelikeabadassmother.com/ https://wellelephant.com/ ACE Plant-based Eating Course https://discover.wellelephant.com/ace-plant-based-eating-course-reg/ Shop Merch https://age-like-a-badass-mother-shop.fourthwall.com/ Follow us and reach out at: Email: lauren@agelikeabadassmother.com Facebook: @WellElephant Instagram: @agelikeabadassmother  https://www.youtube.com/@agelikeabadassmother #BrandiDoming, #PlantBasedCooking, #VeganRecipes, #WholeFoodPlantBased, #HealthyCookingMadeEasy, #PlantBasedKitchen, #SimpleHealthyMeals, #EatMorePlants, #AgeLikeABadassMother, #PlantBasedLifestyle, #Podcast,

    Ep. 94: Chuck Carroll’s Health Crisis After 275-Pound Weight Loss

    Question or comment? Send a one-way text to Age Like a Badass Mother. Include your email so I can answer you back. Chuck Carroll didn't just struggle with his weight; he grew up expecting to die young. By the time he was a freshman in high school, he was already on blood pressure medication, and by his mid-twenties, he genuinely believed he wouldn't make it to 30. At 420 pounds, his body was sending him every warning signal imaginable. So he made a decision that would change everything. Weight-loss surgery was the first step; a plant-based diet was the second, but as Chuck discovered, losing the weight was only the beginning. What followed was a health crisis that sent him to the hospital multiple times, left him searching desperately for answers, and ultimately led him to the Mayo Clinic. In this episode, Chuck opens up about the physical and emotional battles that came after losing 275 pounds. You'll also hear what Chuck would tell his 26-year-old self if he could go back.  If you've ever felt like it's too late, like you've already tried everything, or like your body has simply given up on you, this episode is your reminder that it's not over.
