Description
“There has to be something more than this.”
If you’re a midlife woman who has lost weight, regained it, and is tired of starting over — you’re in the right place.
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.
I’m Addie B — Certified LIfe Coach (and Fast like a Girl Coach), Meditation and Yoga Instructor, former corporate leader, and a woman who’s lost over 100 pounds ... regained weight… and is choosing to build it differently this time.
Because this isn’t about white-knuckling your way thin.
It’s about self-trust.
Habits that fit real life.
Healing the part of you that keeps starting over.
And creating a life that feels so good, you want to take care of yourself inside it.
We talk:
- Midlife weight loss & weight regain
- Real-life habit change
- Meditation & nervous system work
- Spiritual growth without the fluff
- Identity shifts & future-self embodiment
Weight loss is part of the journey.
But becoming is the point.
You’re not broken.
You’re becoming.
Let’s light this B up.

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 s...
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 futu...
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...
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 pra...
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 devoti...
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 en...
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 mot...
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: Wh...
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...
What happens when you’re three days away from leaving your job… again? In this episode, Addie B — aka Slayer (her alter ego)— shares a raw, unfiltered check-in as she stands on the edge of another leap: leaving corporate America, stepping fully into CEO mode, and rebuilding her life from the inside out. This isn’t just a weight-loss (again) story. It’s a becoming story. After losing over 120 pounds, experiencing major health challenges, regaining weight, and navigating deep fear, Addie ...
Witches and bitches… we are officially 7 days away from me walking out of my job and into the life I’m meant to create. 😳🔥 In this episode, voice half-gone and soul fully ON FIRE, I take you behind the scenes of what it really feels like to stand on the edge of a life-changing decision — the fear, the magic, the synchronicities, and the fierce self-belief required to actually leap. We dive into: 🔥 THE COUNTDOWN TO FREEDOM Why leaving my job wasn’t even on my radar a few months ago… and the ma...
What’s up, witches and bitches! 🎉 It’s my 53rd birthday and I’m celebrating by doing what any midlife badass would do: talking colonoscopies, quitting my job, burning down old identities, and daring myself into the biggest life upgrade I’ve made in years. This episode is raw, hilarious, messy, squirrel-filled, and FULL of the magic that happens when you stop tolerating the life you’re in… and start creating the one you actually want. I’m sharing the fear behind-the-scenes of my nine-day count...
In this episode, Addie B — your resident Sagittarius fun-factory and badass midlife cheerleader — drops a truth bomb: we’ve become fun-school dropouts. Life got busy, serious, hormonal, structured, and suddenly FUN became something we “hope” happens instead of something we intentionally create. Addie shares how fun is absolutely not optional — it’s essential for your nervous system, creativity, weight loss, energy, and future self magic. She walks through her own transformation, including the...
30 days until Freedom Addie (leaves the day job)! This week, Addie shares a fresh take on transformation, inspired by a truth-bomb–filled catch-up with longtime client and friend, Lola. Together they crack open the real magic behind reinvention: stop caring what others think, get honest with yourself, and start intentionally creating who you want to be. Addie breaks down how she’s structuring her days with alter-ego energy — CEO Addie, Creative Addie, Community Addie, Me-First Morning Addie —...
Once I decided to quit my job, the wheels were in motion. This week I’m talking about what happens after the leap — when you stop chasing, stop overthinking the hows, and start believing it’s already happening. We’ll dive into: 💫 Why belief is the decision as well 💫 How my Human Design (Generator 2/4 Hermit-Opportunist) helps me understand my creative cycles 💫 What a Harvard Professor of Happiness taught me about how tech affects our happiness 💫 And how I’m creating my virtual ...
I finally did it — I quit my job and leaped into the unknown (okay, again, I am a Sagittarius, after all). 💥 This week, I’m sharing how I manifested my next chapter in midlife, what Human Design taught me about alignment, and how to trust the Universe when everything’s wide open. No backup plan. Just faith, fire, and a whole lotta tapas. 🔥 This week, Addie B (Slayer) shares the wild ride of finally quitting her job after two and a half years of ignoring the cosmic slaps upside the head....
Aloha witches & bitches—it’s one of those “real life” weeks where the vibe is: it’s hard, but I’m still doing the damn thing. In this episode of MEfirst Midlife Badassery, Slayer gets real about: The seasons of life and why this one (the “Mili Season”) matters more than she realizedHer dance with forcing vs. allowing in manifesting and abundanceHow she’s learning to love her current season instead of trying to skip aheadWhat it really means to reconnect with your authentic self when you’v...
What happens when your dream artery feels clogged and your vision isn’t crystal clea?. Spoiler: you don’t wait for clarity…you create it. I share how my Sunday coaching group cracked open the question, “How do I actually live on a Monday?” and why impossible goals, tiny 1% actions, and a non-negotiable meditation practice flip the switch from hamster wheel to Camino energy. Inside: Resources & riffs: Brooke Castillo on big “impossible” goalsCorinne Crabtree on regains & focusing on li...

Aloha witches & bitches 🌺🔥—this week I’m coming at you from a Dallas hotel room, smack in the middle of leadership conferences, job manifesting vibes, and yes… airport construction noise. Life’s messy, y’all, but also magical. In this episode, I share: The synchronicities showing up in my world (Dr. Joe’s new abundance course basically mirroring my “Believe. Become. Be.” mantra).Why weight loss programs are where your soul goes to die—and why abundance & future self vibes light your s...
