She Reinvented Her Body, Career & Life After 50 (Here’s What Changed) with Alicia Erickson

Author: Lori Harder | YAP Media September 28, 2026 Duration: 53:32
What if your strongest, most confident, most successful years are still ahead of you? In this episode, I sit down with Alicia Erickson to completely flip the script on what life can look like in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. Alicia shares how she transformed her body, rebuilt her confidence, got sober, and stepped into an entirely new career that took off in her 50s. We talk about breaking the beliefs that tell you it’s too late, building habits that actually last, surrounding yourself with people who reinforce what’s possible, and having the courage to go after a new version of your life before you feel ready. If you need proof that you can become stronger, healthier, more confident, and create an entirely new chapter at any age, this conversation is for you.

Hosted by entrepreneur and author Lori Harder, Earn Your Happy is a raw and relatable look at what it actually takes to build a meaningful life and business. This podcast lives in the messy middle ground between a bold vision and its realization, exploring the risks, the failures, and all those moments of doubt that nobody talks about on a polished highlight reel. Lori’s conversations are grounded in real experience-her own journey as a founder and host-and they cut through the noise of typical business advice. You’ll hear honest stories about the rollercoaster of chasing big goals, where laughter and vulnerability are just as important as strategy. It’s this authentic, no-BS approach that has resonated with so many, earning the show recognition as a top entrepreneurship podcast. Each episode feels like a candid talk with a friend who’s been there, offering not just inspiration but practical perspectives for navigating your own path. Tune in for a dose of reality that’s as motivating as it is genuine, proving that building something you love is never a straight line.
