About this listen

Are you a woman in midlife and beyond who wants to live alcohol-free? Are you ready to focus on building a better relationship with yourself instead of with alcohol, and could you use some encouragement along the way? I’m Lori Massicot, The Midlife Sobriety Coach, and I’m here to support you every step of the way! I started drinking at 14 and made the tough decision to quit at 45. I understand the challenges you face in early sobriety and in maintaining an alcohol-free lifestyle. In 2018, I created the To 50 and Beyond podcast to raise awareness about the option of living alcohol-free later in life. My mission is to provide practical solutions, along with plenty of love and support, so you never feel alone. This podcast is the resource I wished I had when I decided to stop drinking on August 11, 2013. With over 300 episodes and half a million downloads, To 50 and Beyond has touched the hearts of women worldwide who are discovering that they don’t have to keep drinking. What a relief! In each episode, you’ll find practical solutions, inspiring stories, and insights from expert guests to help you navigate midlife and sobriety.

  • Negotiate for Yourself Not Alcohol
    Apr 23 2025
    Episode 322

    Hey there! Thank you for being here.

    We are on a break after today. 💗

    New podcast episodes will be coming your way in late spring.

    This episode is dedicated to the women worldwide who are doing the work to live an alcohol-free lifestyle and build a better, more trustworthy relationship with themselves.

    I see you and I stand with you.

    With summer approaching faster than we'd like and warm weather months ahead, I want to talk about shifting our focus from negotiating with alcohol to negotiating for ourselves to live the life we want.

    Summer can be challenging, and the temptation to have "just one" drink is real—no matter how long you've been alcohol-free.

    In this episode, I want to empower you to stay strong in your choice not to drink, even when the urge to negotiate with alcohol feels overwhelming.

    You deserve one more day without alcohol, which is one more day in favor of you!

    I’m with you.

  • What Are You Aware of About Your Relationship with Alcohol?
    Apr 2 2025

    Episode 321

    The purpose of this episode is to take a moment to check in with you and your relationship with alcohol in honor of April being Alcohol Awareness Month.

    Whether you're alcohol-free curious, navigating early sobriety, or embracing long-term sobriety, this episode serves as both a reminder and a reflection—a chance to reconnect with the truth about you and alcohol.

    As a recovering "avoider," I share my story and the level of acceptance I reached when I stopped drinking, along with what I’ve come to know for sure about my relationship with alcohol after 11 years of sobriety.

    I also discuss what to do when you find yourself romanticizing alcohol to help you stay committed to living alcohol-free.

    I've got you!

    Thank you for listening!

  • Never-Ending To-Do Lists and Playing Catch Up
    Mar 26 2025

    Episode 320

    Tired of long to-do lists and playing catch-up? Yeah, me too!

    If you feel like you're working hard at catching up and have to wait to relax until you do, this episode is for you!

    I've had an epiphany about the unrealistic expectations I put on myself. One day, a few weeks ago, I said ENOUGH! I'm working towards being more intentional with my time and energy to get done what is important and taking a break even with a long list of to-do's!

    In this episode, I share my truth and encourage you to be honest and realistic with yourself if you need more time for yourself and your tasks are standing in your way.

    The prompts I use in this episode:

    • What can I do? Focus on 1-3 things a day.
    • What can't I do? What is outside of your control - leave it.
    • What do I want to do or don't want to do? Get rid of the fluff to be more intentional with what brings you joy and energy.
    • What can I save for later? Write it down and tuck that "later list" away.

    I'm with you!

    Send me an email if you want to learn more about private coaching here.
