If you've ever felt like you know exactly what to do but still can't seem to follow through, this episode is for you.

After losing 120 pounds, navigating a regain, and spending years exploring everything from mindset work to coaching to EFT Tapping, I've come to believe that most of us aren't stuck because we need more willpower.

We're stuck because something inside us doesn't feel safe.

In this episode, I'm sharing four powerful questions that can help uncover the hidden fears, beliefs, and emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck—not just in weight loss, but in business, relationships, money, and life.

We'll also talk about EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), why it's become one of my favorite tools for nervous system regulation, and I'll walk you through a simple tapping exercise you can use yourself.

The Four Questions

✨ What Happens If It Changes?

✨ How Will Other People Feel About It?

✨ What Pain Might I Experience If I Change This?

✨ What Will I Lose If I Make This Change?

The answers may reveal more than you expect.

Because they usually aren't about food.

They're about safety.

Something cracked open inside Midlife Badassery this week — and Addie couldn't NOT talk about it.

In this episode Addie shares what happened when a group of midlife women showed up for a free 7-day kickstart challenge and had some of the most profound transformation moments she's witnessed in 8 years of coaching. No $10k mastermind. No suffering. Just alter egos, daily prompts, and a whole lot of fun.

In this episode:

• The one ingredient missing from every weight loss plan you've ever tried
• How Addie lost 20 pounds from meditation alone — and why that made her furious
• The birth of Slayer — her alter ego born from rage at a broken system
• Why the "you only value what you pay for" coaching myth is bulls**t
• Real wins from real women in the community this week
• Why groups create exponential transformation (and what Human Design says about it)
• What happens when you stop measuring macros and start measuring joy

What happens when creativity becomes more than a hobby — and turns into a lifeline, a healing tool, and a business?

In this episode of Midlife Badassery, I’m joined by Katya McEwen, creator of Oracle Connections and Oracle Cards Magic, mindset coach, hypnotherapist, and soulful creative guide. I also fully confess that I am basically Katya’s biggest fan. Badge included. 😂

Katya shares her powerful story of being born in Russia, raised in Ukraine, and moving through the grief and identity crisis that came after the war in Ukraine began. When her usual mindset tools stopped working, she found her way back to creativity through painting, AI art, and oracle cards — eventually turning pain into purpose and “war into art.”

We also talk about the money blocks spiritual creatives carry, why women need to stop martyring themselves, how oracle decks become transformational tools, the ethics of AI, community over competition, and why midlife women belong in rooms where money, magic, and impact are all allowed to exist together.

This conversation is soulful, practical, funny, a little woo, and deeply human.

In this episode, we talk about:

Katya’s LIFE philosophy: love, impact with integrity, freedom of expression, and evolvement

Why so many women think they “aren’t creative anymore”

Using art and AI as a way to process grief

The story behind Katya’s Ukrainian goddess of protection images

The ethical conversation around AI and creativity

Money, spirituality, and why Katya says, “I know my shit and I’m going to get paid for it”

How oracle cards can become healing tools, business tools, and transformational tools

Why your next deck, offer, or body of work may already be hiding in your Google Drive

Community, collaboration, and the power of women lifting women

The magic her younger self would see in her life now

I thought I was bringing Slayer back.

You know... the weight loss alter ego who helped me lose 120 pounds and completely change my life.

I showed up to an Alter Ego workshop ready to resurrect her. Instead, I walked away with a surprising realization: the woman I need now isn't exactly the same woman I needed back then.

The weight is coming off.

The business is growing.

But my sacred morning time? The time that keeps me grounded, creative, and connected to myself? That's been getting hijacked.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact Alter Ego process I teach inside MEFirst and sharing what happened when I used it on myself.

We talk about Slayer, Brookster, the Wine Wench, the Time Bandit, and why identity—not willpower—is what actually changes your life.

If you've ever felt like you're becoming someone new, or like the version of you that got you here might not be the version that gets you where you're going next, this episode is for you.

In This Episode:

✨ Why I originally created Slayer and how she helped me lose 120 pounds

✨ The surprising problem that showed up this time

✨ Why I think my new arch nemesis is The Time Bandit

✨ Future Self vs. Alter Ego—and why the distinction matters

✨ The role identity plays in lasting transformation

✨ Midlife, menopause, healing, and learning to work differently

✨ The question that changed everything for me:

What am I capable of doing that I'm not doing?

Grab a notebook and come behind the scenes with me.

Until then, witches and bitches...

Dream big.

Become her.

If you're a woman over 50 on a weight loss journey who has tried every program, every diet, every coach — and you're still not there — this episode is for you. This is the midlife transformation story nobody talks about. Not another weight loss tip. Not another mindset hack. This is how I created an alter ego, stepped into her, and lost over 100 pounds — and how that identity shift became the biggest personal growth catalyst of my life. If you're in midlife and feeling like you've hit a wall, if the weight loss feels impossible and you're quietly giving up — I see you. I was you. And this is your midlife reset. 🔥

I was leading a workshop this week and I looked out at the room and saw myself staring right back at me.

She had tried all the things. Every diet. Every program. Every coach. Every Monday morning promise. And she was done. She had quietly given up on believing her body could ever change.

I had something to tell her that nobody had ever told me.

This episode is for every woman in despair who has done everything and still hasn't gotten there. The woman who is quietly giving up. The woman who doesn't believe anymore.

I was her. And then I did something nobody taught me to do.

I built an alter ego. I stepped into her. And I lost over 100 pounds.

This is what nobody tells you about that.

In this episode I share:

• The rock bottom moment that changed everything — Game of Thrones, yoga pants, and three days in bed
• Why I looked into weight loss surgery and what stopped me
• The Everyday Adventure List that cracked my mind open for the first time
• How I discovered the think, feel, act cycle and why it should be taught in fourth grade
• How Slayer was born — and what she unlocked that had nothing to do with weight loss
• Why regaining weight this time felt completely different from every time before
• The role of community in keeping you going through the messy middle
• Why awareness is the real superpower — and how your alter ego accidentally builds it

I didn't set out to teach thought awareness or alter ego work. I set out to lose weight because I was a ball of misery. And when I built Slayer, I accidentally became an observer of my own life.

Awareness was the superpower I didn't know I was building.

The only thing stopping you from feeling good right now is your mind. And okay, maybe a little bit of hormones depending on where you are with perimenopause. 😄

Have you ever been pulled into an office, a meeting, or a conversation and told you were too much?

Too loud. Too emotional. Too ambitious. Too intense. Too spiritual. Too big.

This week Addie gets real about a moment that kept her up at night — being told by a coach that her energy can scare people. And instead of shrinking, she did what she always does: she got honest, got into it, and came out the other side more herself than ever.

In this episode Addie talks about:

• Why being called "a lot" has followed her from corporate America to the coaching world — and why she's finally done letting it stick
• What Human Design revealed about her energy and why she's wired this way
• How years of shrinking herself to fit in contributed to 80 lbs back on her body
• Why your alter ego GPT might be your best hype person when you need a reality check
• The truth about who your people really are — and why the wrong room is actually a gift
• What's happening inside the MEfirst community, the Alter Ego Challenge, and her first YouTube video
• Her morning routine that's changing everything — yoga, meditation, treadmill, MEfirst Guide
• Brookster, her CEO alter ego, and why putting on real pants is her talisman
• Her HRT journey, inflammation, and why sleep changed when she went back to her estrogen cream
• The visioning book club happening inside MEfirst Becoming

If you've ever been told you were too much of something — this one's for you.

Go light this bitch up. Go be too much of something. It's your mission.

What do oracle cards have to do with weight loss? More than you might think.

In this episode of MEfirst Midlife Badassery, Addie dives into the surprising connection between intuition, nervous system healing, spirituality, and midlife weight loss.

Because let’s be honest…most women in midlife already KNOW what to eat. The real struggle is stress, burnout, emotional eating, people pleasing, self-abandonment, and completely losing connection with ourselves.

This conversation explores:

•  why weight loss is often a doorway to self-discovery 
•  how oracle cards became a tool for self-trust and reflection 
•  the role meditation played in Addie’s 120lb transformation 
•  why “woo” practices like breathwork, tapping, visualization, yoga, and grounding actually have science behind them 
•  the difference between masculine hustle energy and feminine intuition 
•  how future self work changes behavior and identity 
•  why midlife women are being called into a new era of purpose and power 

If you’ve ever felt like:
 ✨ “It’s not really about the food anymore…”
 ✨ “I know what to do but I can’t seem to stay connected to myself…”
 ✨ “There has to be something deeper here…”

…this episode is for you.

I just set new goals… and I’m not gonna lie—this next level feels BIG. And..

That's how I know it's GOOD stuff! Like, next level scary shit!

In this episode, I’m taking you inside my real-time goal setting after our MEfirst event—what I’m going after, what’s been holding me back, and how I’m stepping into the next version of me.

We’re talking:
 🔥 Losing the next 24 pounds (and what’s actually moving the needle now)
 🔥 Building back to $10K months in my business
 🔥 The mindset shifts around clarity, fear, and identity
 🔥 Why habits > food when it comes to weight loss
 🔥 How alter egos (hi, Brookster 👑) help you SHOW UP
 🔥 Balancing creativity with actual execution
 🔥 Visualization + becoming your future self
 🔥 Creating a life rooted in freedom, joy, and self-trust

This is not a “when I get there” story.
 This is me IN IT—with you.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to want more… but also low-key scared to say it out loud?
 Yeah. This one’s for you.

Let’s go become her. 💥

If you’re here for weight loss… this might piss you off (in the best way 😏).

Because the truth?
 It’s never been about the weight.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life update from my week—what’s working, what’s messy, and what I’m learning as I build my next level in real time.

We’re talking:

•  Why chasing outcomes (weight, money, relationships) keeps you stuck but make great goals 
•  The identity shift that actually creates lasting change 
•  How habits really get built (and why most people do it backwards) 
•  The connection between not living your truth… and what shows up in your body 
•  Why community is the missing piece for transformation 
•  And what I’m building next (and why it matters) 

This is not a polished “I have it all figured out” episode.
 This is me in the arena… figuring it out as I go.

If you’ve ever felt like:
 👉 You know what to do but aren’t doing it
 👉 You’ve lost weight before but can’t keep it off
 👉 You’re meant for more but keep playing small

This episode is for you.

Because this work?
 It’s not about becoming perfect.

It’s about becoming the woman who follows through.

⏱️ CHAPTERS (clean + SEO friendly)

00:00 The Truth About Weight Loss (It’s Not What You Think)
 00:53 Identity vs. Outcomes: Why You’re Stuck
 08:07 Building Habits That Actually Stick
 15:30 Creating Community & My New Membership
 18:23 Moving Through Fear & Stepping Into Growth

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.

Let’s light this bitch up.
