The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair

Today's episode is a true "sneak attack" mini-session I recorded on the spot because the shift happened so fast, I wanted you to hear it in real time.  At first, I introduced my guest "JoJo" as a code name. Then we reveal the big moment: "JoJo" is actually my mom, Nancy Brindisi, and this is her first-ever time on the podcast! My mom is in that brave space of considering dating again after years, and the negative self-talk started spiraling. So I walked her through one simple practice that stopped the mental loop within minutes, and the calm that followed was unmistakable. In this episode, I share:  Why negative self-talk often spikes when you're stepping into something new, especially dating again How I work with "parts" as energetic parts work (working with the energy of the judging, doubting part) A practical way to borrow supportive energy when you can't access your Adult Chair in the moment How this practice can come through as words, images, or a felt sense, and why your way is the right way   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Today, I'm joined by Emmy-winning journalist and menopause advocate Tamsen Fadal, whose own unexpected journey through perimenopause and menopause led her to create a global movement of education, support, and empowerment for women. After years of brain fog, exhaustion, misdiagnosis, and silence from the medical system, Tamsen began using her voice and platform to help women understand what is happening in their bodies and how to advocate for real care. In this episode, we talk honestly about symptoms, hormones, relationships, sex, confidence, and why so many women feel blindsided by this transition. Tamsen brings clarity, humor, and compassion to a life stage that has been ignored for far too long, and she offers real guidance for women who want to feel informed, supported, and empowered. In this episode, we explore:  The symptoms most women miss in early perimenopause Why brain fog and sleep issues are among the most debilitating changes The impact of hormonal shifts on mood, libido, skin, hair, and body composition Misconceptions about estrogen, the WHI study, and hormone therapy The role of testosterone and why it is often a missing piece How to communicate with your partner about what you are experiencing Why advocating for yourself and finding an educated provider is essential   Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Tamsen Fadal: https://tamsenfadal.com Menopause Society Provider Finder: https://menopausesociety.org  Get Tamsen's book, "How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before"   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Today, I'm joined by Debra Martin, a certified research medium whose three near death experiences completely transformed her life. Each experience opened her to the reality of the soul, the presence of divine love, and a deeper understanding of why we are here. Debra shares how these moments awakened her spiritual gifts, led her into unexpected healing abilities, and helped her remember who we truly are beneath the human experience. Her stories offer hope, validation, and a powerful reminder that we are never alone. In this episode, we explore:  What Debra experienced during her three near death experiences and how they changed her life The role of spiritual surgeons, divine intervention, and soul contracts in healing Why emotional patterns, childhood wounds, and unprocessed pain often sit beneath illness How Debra facilitates remote healing sessions and the profound results she has witnessed Why love, presence, and connection to your divine essence are essential parts of healing Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Debra Martin: https://debramartinhealer.com/    MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

What does it really mean to live a soul aligned life, and why does it often feel so hard, even when I know it leads to more peace, joy, and freedom? In this episode, I break down what a soul aligned life actually is (beyond spiritual buzzwords), why it can feel like everything is "falling apart" when you are actually waking up, and how to start consciously partnering with the part of you that is 99.99% Source instead of the 0.01% that is ego. I share practical, grounded tools for navigating big life transitions, sitting with uncomfortable emotions without getting swallowed by them, and working with your triggers so they become portals to growth instead of proof that you are broken. In this episode, you'll learn:  What a soul aligned life really is How to shift from "life happens to me" to "life happens for me" How challenges and transitions can deepen your alignment Simple practices to sit with emotions and use presence to calm anxiety How your outer life mirrors your beliefs and how trigger work realigns you   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

In this episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth April, author of Your Anxiety Is Giving Me Anxiety. We explore a powerful reframe of anxiety, not as something to fix or eliminate, but as an intelligent signal from the nervous system pointing toward healing and deeper self-awareness. Elizabeth shares her framework for identifying whether anxiety is rooted in the past, present, or future, why high-functioning tendencies often come from overstimulation, and how her Renew Technique helps move out of survival mode and into lasting nervous system regulation, trust, and conscious awareness aligned with living from your Adult Chair. In this episode, you'll learn:  Why anxiety can feel contagious and how we absorb the emotional states of others How to identify whether your anxiety is driven by past experiences, present overwhelm, or future fear Why common coping tools often manage symptoms without addressing the root cause How the Renew Technique helps you recognize, neutralize, and work with anxiety The role of physical and digital clutter in nervous system overload How to use awareness to regulate your body before anxiety escalates Why personal growth and healing often happen through challenge, not comfort Resources from this Episode: Visit Elizabeth April's website Get the book: Your Anxiety is Giving Me Anxiety Follow Elizabeth April on Instagram and Socials: @Elizabeth.April    MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

In this episode, I'm joined by behavioral coach and human design expert Emma Dunwoody, author of Human Design Made Simple. Emma and I explore what human design really is (beyond the "woo"), how it maps your unique energetic blueprint and why understanding your type can feel like a deep exhale of self-permission. This conversation is both practical and inspiring. We talk about why so many of us are exhausted and burned out, how women's energy cycles differ from the 24-hour "hustle" model, and how human design can guide the way you work, parent and build relationships. Emma shares powerful stories from her own life and business, and I share what I discovered in my own chart. Together, we explore how human design can help you shift out of shame and "shoulds" and move into a more aligned, authentic way of living, very much in sync with what it means to live from your Adult Chair. In this episode, you'll hear:  What human design is and how it combines ancient wisdom and modern science into an "energetic blueprint" A simple breakdown of the 5 human design types and what each is here to do Why so many Generators and Manifesting Generators end up burned out How women's ~28-day energetic cycle clashes with the push-to-produce 24/7 model How understanding design can transform your relationships and parenting What I learned about my own chart and why it felt so validating Resources from this Episode: Visit Emma's website & print out YOUR chart!

As we step into 2026, I've been reflecting on why so many New Year resolutions fall apart and why real change can feel so elusive, even when we want it deeply. After a year of shedding old patterns and facing familiar triggers, many of us are ready for something that truly feels different. I explore lasting change is not about trying harder or setting better goals but about creating an identity shift from the inside out. When who you are begins to change, your life naturally follows, and this year no longer has to repeat the last. In this episode, I share: Why New Year resolutions rarely stick and what actually works How triggers point us toward the deeper work that creates real change What it means to make an identity shift rather than a surface level goal A simple four step process to help you embody the version of yourself you are becoming How to lead yourself from your Adult Chair in everyday life Resources from this Episode: The Adult Chair book is NOW AVAILABLE!

In this episode, I'm joined by one of our incredible Adult Chair® Master Coaches, Shannon Yonge. Shannon shares her powerful story of how she went from living life for everyone else, constantly saying yes, ignoring her needs, and feeling disconnected from herself, to reconnecting with her intuition, setting boundaries, and stepping fully into her sovereignty. This conversation is deeply personal and incredibly relatable. We talk about how tuning into the body can guide us back to our truth, how to break free from people-pleasing, and why learning to say no, without needing to explain, can be so life-changing. Shannon's journey is such a beautiful example of what becomes possible when we start living from our Adult Chair. In this episode, you'll hear:  Shannon's experience leaving an emotionally abusive marriage and reclaiming her voice How listening to her body helped her reconnect with her intuition The difference between authentic connection and false connection How Shannon stopped saying yes to everything and began honoring her needs What it really means to live in sovereignty and why this matters so much, especially for women Resources from this Episode: Shannon's website: Shannon Yonge Coaching Follow Shannon on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok Grab her free reparenting guide in the Resources section of her website Check out her beautifully designed mantra card deck here!

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide, PTSD, and trauma. Please listen with care and step away if needed. Today, I'm sitting down with someone I've known for years and whose story moved me deeply. Mike Zeller joins me for a powerful, raw, and eye opening conversation about trauma, healing, nervous system regulation, and the life changing breakthroughs that helped save his wife, his marriage, and his family. Mike opens up about the traumatic season that began when his daughter was born. His wife, a three time suicide survivor with complex childhood trauma, spiraled into severe PTSD and depression triggered by pregnancy and early motherhood. For nearly two years, Mike lived in constant fight or flight trying to support her while feeling completely lost about how to help. This episode takes you inside their journey, the tools that finally created real change, and the multimodal healing approach Mike now uses to support others through trauma, depression, and burnout. In this episode, we explore: Mike and his wife's powerful story and what was really happening beneath the surface How trauma hijacks the nervous system and why traditional tools weren't enough What Mike learned about somatic therapy, PTSD, and the subconscious mind How NAD therapy works and why so many people are deficient without realizing it The role psychedelics played in opening the nervous system for deep healing The importance of integration and nervous system support after a therapeutic journey Resources from this Episode: Find Mike on Instagram, YouTube, and more: @themikezeller Visit Jinfiniti and use the code RESTORE20 to get 20% off!

Today, I'm diving into a topic that has touched so many of you and continues to show up in my own life in the most surprising, beautiful ways. We're exploring the signs, synchronicities, and gentle nudges from the universe that remind us we're never walking this path alone. From repeating numbers to feathers, birds, coins, and even unexpected phrases from strangers, signs are everywhere when we slow down enough to notice them. Whether you've been seeing 11:11 on the clock, finding pennies in random places, or simply sensing that something bigger is guiding you, this episode will help you understand how your angels, guides, and loved ones communicate with you and how to trust the messages already showing up around you. In this episode, I share: How to recognize the signs that your angels and guides are sending you Why nothing in your life is random and why coincidences don't really exist What the "illuminated path" is and how to know your very next step How to ask for your own personal, specific sign (and what happens when you do!)

This week, I'm joined by the beautiful Anjie Hipple for a powerful and heartfelt conversation about what it means to come home to yourself. Anjie shares her story of growing up in an environment that didn't feel emotionally safe and how that early survival mode shaped her identity. We talk about the masks we wear to stay protected, how trauma pulls us away from who we really are, and the work it takes to reconnect with our truth. Anjie offers such honest and inspiring insights about emotional healing, self-compassion, and the power of doing the deeper inner work. This conversation is especially meaningful if you've ever felt disconnected from yourself or unsure of how to move from surviving to truly thriving.

Today, I dive into one of my favorite topics and one of the most powerful tools we have for navigating life, parenting, relationships, and our inner world. I am talking about the wisdom of the heart. This conversation was inspired by a thoughtful listener who reached out with such a relatable question. Her message opened the door for a deeper look at intuition, sensitivity, and how we make choices that truly honor our souls. Whether you are a parent or someone who wants to strengthen your inner guidance, this episode will help you understand how to hear your heart more clearly and trust it with more confidence. In this episode, I share: How I recognize the voice of my heart versus the voice of my mind Why we are seeing more highly sensitive children and how I support them What to do when other people's opinions conflict with what feels true for you How I tune in and feel into the right choice for myself or my children The difference between an ego-based decision and a soul-guided one How to stop relying on outside validation and lean into your inner authority Resources from this Episode: The Adult Chair book is NOW AVAILABLE!   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Academy of Awakening https://www.theacademyofawakening.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

Listener Discretion: This conversation includes a brief mention of suicidal thoughts as part of one guest's journey toward healing and awakening. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series, for a deeply moving conversation about awakening, consciousness, and remembering who we truly are. Neale shares how a single moment of despair led to a life-changing dialogue with God - one that continues to inspire millions around the world. Our conversation dives into love, unity, and how to live from awareness instead of fear. Together, we explore how to: See challenges as opportunities for soul growth and remembrance Shift from separation to connection and from fear to love Move beyond "doing" spirituality to being it Recognize your soul's purpose in everyday moments Build your own personal, authentic relationship with the Divine This conversation is a beautiful reminder that life isn't happening to us — it's happening through us.

If you've ever caught yourself wondering, "Am I good enough? Lovable enough? Worthy enough?"... this episode is for you. Today, I'm diving into the powerful difference between external and internal validation, and how learning to validate yourself is the key to breaking free from codependency, people-pleasing, and enmeshment. When we rely on others to tell us who we are, we lose touch with our true selves. But when we start building that validation from within, everything changes: our confidence, our sense of worth, and the way we move through the world. In this episode, I share: How codependency develops when we seek our worth outside of ourselves Simple ways to practice self-validation every day Why internal validation becomes even more essential as we age How celebrating your small wins rewires your brain and boosts self-worth This episode is all about bringing it home. Finding your value from within and learning to celebrate the beautifully unique human you already are. ✨ Ready to deepen your connection with yourself?

Yes, you read that right. In this episode, I share a very real and very unexpected story about what happened when I accidentally swallowed a dental tool, and how I used the Adult Chair model to navigate nine days of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. What could have been a terrifying and overwhelming experience became a powerful opportunity for me to practice exactly what I teach: grounding, regulating my nervous system, and staying connected to myself no matter what was happening around me. In this episode, I open up about: How I calmed myself using fact and truth, grounding, and slow breathing The importance of asking "Why is this happening for me?" instead of "Why is this happening to me?" The parts work and inner healing that surfaced through this experience How feelings of anger, fear, and even betrayal led me to uncover old root beliefs This story isn't just about an unusual accident. It's about how we can move from fear to empowerment, from victim to adult, and from disconnection back to our true selves. Resources from this Episode: The Adult Chair book is NOW AVAILABLE!
