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... (in a non-creepy Generator 2/4 kinda way) #iykyk

You ever feel like you’re becoming someone new…
and also like everything is kind of a hot mess at the same time? 😂🔥

Yeah. Same. You GET ME! lol

This episode is a real-time download of where I’m at right now in the height of building a challenge and community, reinventing myself at 53, losing weight (again), building my business, and stepping into a whole new identity using alter ego work.

As always on Midlife Badassery...this isn’t the polished “I figured it out” version. I mean, does she really exist?! lol...there is just another goal after that!

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. And we’re just getting started.

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 response
• Why 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 it
• How one rough night of gluten and cheese became a lesson in rest, inflammation, and ditching the white-knuckle approach
• Why body, money, and mindset upper limits are all the same pattern — and the same solution

Resources mentioned:

• The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
• Dr. Jason Fung (intermittent fasting & metabolic health) - Body Set Point
• Jamie Sea (wealth & upper limits)

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.
