To 50 and Beyond | Midlife and Alcohol-Free Lifestyle
Hosted by Lori Massicot · EN
Welcome to To 50 and Beyond, where I invite you into conversations about midlife and living alcohol-free.
Here, we focus on the possibilities ahead of you and the practices you can start right now, so you can connect with yourself and design a lifestyle alcohol can't touch.
I'm Lori Massicot, born November 11, 1967, post-menopause, and after 30 years of drinking, I decided at 45 that alcohol no longer worked in my life. So I went all in on living alcohol-free, and what I found was a full life, a different life, and honestly a better one than I ever expected.
Since 2018, I've worked privately with women as a coach and mentor, helping them go alcohol-free and stay alcohol-free, their way.
You can expect episodes that cover either honest storytelling about midlife and living alcohol-free, or reflections and practices you can start right now.
Hanging out with me is your time, and I'm excited to be right here with you, doing this together.
I get a feeling you're here because you're ready, ready to rock your very best self To 50 and Beyond.
So, let's go!

Transcribe →A Holiday Check-In: You Are Not Alone
Dec 1700:08:01Tap to summarizeHello! I'm so happy to be here with you. I'm popping in to check in with you this holiday season. As 2025 comes to a close, I want to offer words of encouragement to help you navigate the holiday alcohol-free. Whether this is your first year, your second, or many years in. I talk about growth, discomfort, awkward moments, grief, and why outgrowing alcohol is a sign that you're evolving, which is a good thing! I also share where I am right now, slowing down, focusing on one thing at a time, and letting intuition and flow guide me. And a personal story from my first sober Christmas and what changed in the years that followed, along with a reminder that you're not alone in this season. There are so many women walking through this right alongside you, including me. I'm with you. Thank you for being here with me. ✌🏻 Mentioned in this episode: Join the Team Alcohol Free waitlist Join my email community for the upcoming 2025 reflection Send me an email to say hello
Transcribe →Take a Walk With Wonder This Season
Nov 2300:15:21Tap to summarizeEpisode 343 Hello, friend! Happy holidays and happy season of midlife and beyond! This episode was inspired by a walk I took this morning and the possibilities that open up when you walk with the topic of wonder. I invite you to walk with wonder during the holiday season and the season of midlife, using curiosity instead of pressure to explore what's possible for you. Wonder expands your perspective and opens doors you may not have touched or considered in a long time (or ever!) I share simple prompts you can take with you anywhere, but I suggest taking a walk with this one! I'm with you. I appreciate you so much for listening.
