This week, I’m introducing a new version of me… BROOKSTER 👀🔥 But first—can we talk about this? 👉 What happens when your circles stopped dreaming… but you didn’t? Because that hit me hard this week. In this episode, I’m sharing:  Why outgrowing your environment can feel lonely (and why it’s actually a good sign)  How I’ve used alter egos (like Slayer → now Brookster) to step into bigger versions of myself  The real reason we stay stuck in old patterns (hint: it’s not lack of motivation)  Why habits only work when they’re tied to identity  And how to start activating your next-level self right now This isn’t about becoming someone else.  It’s about becoming the version of you that’s been waiting. And yeah… it might scare the hell out of you. Good. That means you’re onto something. 🔥 If you’re ready to dream bigger (and actually move on it), come join us inside the Midlife Badassery community.

This one is real-time. I’m in my car, because in the middle of building my next level some upperlimiting shit hit and we have to go to an eye appointment  😏  This week TERROR hit me. I'm not even going to say scared.  It like gripped me in my gut.  Like “maybe I should just go back to what’s safe” kind of scared. In this episode, I’m talking through what it actually looks like to be in the messy middle of midlife reinvention. Not the “I figured it out” version. The real version where fear shows up hard and you have to decide who you’re going to be anyway. We get into:  The moment I almost chose the safe path  What fear actually feels like in your body  Building my alter ego (Brookster) while I’m still in it  Why weight loss, identity, and business building are all connected  Using data (scale + stats) without making it mean something about you If you’re over 50 and feeling that pull toward something bigger—but fear is loud—this is your reminder: You don’t have to feel ready.  You just have to stop playing small. We can dream BIG AF and set into her. One little scary spell at a time ;) LFGOOoooo! Who are you creating?  Come create with me...

This is the eternal messy middle of growth. Welcome to Transfomation Bs! I’m navigating big questions like:  👉 Am I playing small… or actually building something bigger?  👉 Is this aligned… or just easier?  👉 Who the hell am I becoming right now? We talk about:  ✨ Alter egos (Slayer, Brookster & beyond)  ✨ Identity shifts vs starting over  ✨ Manifestation, decision-making, and trusting yourself again  ✨ What midlife reinvention actually looks like in real life And I share something happening behind the scenes right now that has me questioning everything (in the best way 👀) If you’re a midlife woman who’s done starting over and ready to actually become her… you’re in the right place. 🔥 And, get your hot badass self inside the group and build your Alter Ego! woo hoo!

This week’s episode is real life, unfiltered, and recorded in my car. Because sometimes… that’s exactly where the truth comes out 😅 I’m wrapping up my first 90-day goal of the year, down about 18 pounds, feeling proud… and then out of nowhere: 👉 A job opportunity shows up. Like… right down the street from my house. After deciding to go ALL IN on myself and my business, this threw me into a full-on “wait… what am I doing?” moment. So in this episode, I take you with me in real time as I:  Reflect on my 90-day results (and what actually matters more than the number)  Talk through how our brains try to keep us “safe” when we’re leveling up  Navigate an unexpected opportunity that doesn’t match the plan  Explore identity-based transformation vs playing small This isn’t polished. This is what it actually looks like to:  👉 build a business  👉 lose weight  👉 and become a whole new version of yourself …all at the same time. If you’ve ever:  Questioned your next move  Felt pulled between security and alignment  Or wondered if you’re “doing it right” You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not behind. 💥 This is Midlife Badassery.

You know that feeling when everything is finally clicking — the weight's dropping, the money's coming in, life feels good — and then out of nowhere you blow it up? Yeah. That's not bad luck. That's not you being broken. That's your Upper Limit Problem — and this episode is going to change how you see yourself. 🙌 In this episode, Addie breaks down: What the Upper Limit Problem actually is (Gay Hendricks, The Big Leap)How we all have an internal thermostat for how much good we're allowed to feel — and how our nervous system drags us back to "safe"A real-life parking garage moment — a $1,200 copay, tears, and choosing a completely different responseWhy a hype playlist might literally rewire your brain (comment "PLAYLIST" and Addie will send hers!)The wealth container concept — why you keep returning to your "normal" bank balance until you shift the belief underneath itHow one rough night of gluten and cheese became a lesson in rest, inflammation, and ditching the white-knuckle approachWhy body, money, and mindset upper limits are all the same pattern — and the same solutionResources mentioned: The Big Leap by Gay HendricksDr. Jason Fung (intermittent fasting & metabolic health) - Body Set PointJamie Sea (wealth & upper limits) Alter Ego Challenge FREE-->  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!

Somewhere between responsibilities, careers, raising kids, and trying to hold life together… many of us stopped asking a very important question: What actually brings me joy? In this week’s Pool Podcast episode of MEfirst Midlife Badassery, I’m recording from my favorite place — the pool — talking about why joy might actually be one of the most powerful tools for transformation. From joining a watercolor group to experimenting with alter egos, exploring creativity, and remembering the things we loved as kids… this episode is about giving yourself permission to try things again. Midlife reinvention doesn’t have to be serious all the time. Sometimes it starts with joy. And sometimes the first step is simply asking yourself what lights you up. In This Episode • Why joy is a powerful part of personal transformation • How creativity helps unlock new identities • The concept of alter egos and stepping into future versions of yourself • Rediscovering childhood joy (inspired by The Artist’s Way) • Why midlife is the perfect time to experiment and try new things • How small adventures can reconnect you to your purpose Your Challenge This Week Ask yourself: What did I love doing when I was younger that I haven’t done in a long time? Try one small thing this week that sparks curiosity, creativity, or joy. You might be surprised what happens next.

If I had to lose 100 pounds again in 2026… what would I do? Funny enough, that’s exactly what I’m doing. In this poolside riff episode, I share the five things I would focus on if I were starting my weight loss journey all over again — especially in midlife when hormones, stress, and real life make everything more complicated. Spoiler: I wouldn’t start with food. Instead, we talk about nervous system regulation, identity, small daily decisions, rebuilding self-trust, and creating a life that actually supports the woman you’re becoming. This is real-time transformation, imperfect action, and midlife reinvention happening live.

This week something cracked open. I started a simple FUEL challenge — just regulating with food instead of restricting it — and almost immediately I saw the same pattern everywhere. Food.  Wine.  Money.  Overworking.  That “I should be further at 53” pressure. It wasn’t about the behavior. It was about regulation. In this episode I share:  • Why hunger isn’t always hunger  • How emotional regulation changed my weight loss approach  • The connection between scarcity and depletion  • What abundance coaching revealed about old patterns  • Why noticing your thoughts is the real superpower Maybe weight loss isn’t about food.  Maybe money isn’t about money.  Maybe it’s about building a regulated woman who responds instead of reacts. This is the real-time becoming.

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.

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.

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 Alter Ego Challenge FREE-->  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!

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.

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.

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.

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).
