The Michelle Chalfant Show Life from the Adult Chair

355 – Cultivating Friendships as an Adult with Dr. Marisa G. Franco

There is an old Irish proverb that says, “A good friend is like a four-leaf clover; hard to find and lucky to have.”    While some people thrive in a big group and others prefer to have a few close friends, there isn’t a human on the planet who doesn’t need friends!    But making friends seems to get harder as we get older. Gone are the days of finding a BFF because you happened to sit next to each other on the school bus. Friendship in adulthood takes intentional effort.   In this episode, I...

354 – Balancing Your Hormones for a Healthier Life with Candace Burch

There are so many different aspects of being an emotionally healthy adult. We’re complex, connected beings, and our bodies, our minds, our emotions, our spiritual lives…they all play a role in how we feel every day.   It all matters!   One of the areas we don’t talk about enough is our hormones. Hormones impact SO many of our bodily and mental functions, and we’ve been kept in the dark about them for too long! Everyone deserves to understand this part of themselves!   In this episode, I talk to hormone health educator Candace Burch to...

353 – How To Empower Yourself To Set Healthy Boundaries: Rebecca’s Story

When it comes to standing up for ourselves and setting boundaries, there are few places where this is tougher than with our family of origin.   Family brings a whole different dynamic to the table: our foundational attachments, our childhood programming, group expectations and our natural loyalty to our parents.   The most successful and strongest people I know can still fall into old patterns or feel like younger versions of themselves around their parents and family.   In this episode, I’m talking to my friend, Rebecca, whose family would often criticize her when she would...

352 – A Holistic Approach to Anxiety with Dr. Ellen Vora

Our society today is facing an epidemic of anxiety. Despite technology that promises to make our lives faster and easier, it seems that we’re more anxious than ever. In 2020, Google searches for “anxiety” reached an all-time high.   We have to look beyond the diagnosis of anxiety and seek to find the root cause of why so many people are living with such high stress and dysregulation that are creating anxiety. There is something bigger going on here.   And since we’re whole humans, we need to look at the whole picture –...

351 – Perfectionism and People Pleasing Broken Down with Amy Green Smith

Do you envy people who can speak up for themselves easily – without stress or guilt? Or do you wish you could go through life with more freedom – not always worried about what others think or if you’re getting it right, being able to make mistakes and move on?   If you struggle with perfectionism and people pleasing, this type of life might feel like just a dream.   But the truth is that perfectionism and people pleasing are just parts of you – parts that have a good reason for being there....

350 – “I Feel Like a Fraud!” Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

You landed the dream gig, got the promotion, submitted your book for publishing, had an amazing first date.   So, why do you feel so insecure, unsure and even unworthy?   Hello, imposter syndrome!   Imposter syndrome, or feeling like a fraud, is something that everyone struggles with from time to time — yep, even those super successful people you look up to.   It’s that feeling that you don’t really deserve the recognition or opportunities you’ve earned or you worry you’re not really good enough for them. It often sounds like, “If they only knew…”   Imposter syndrome can...

349 – Breaking Down Astrology with Rachel Lang

At the start of a new year, we all wonder what the year will hold for us. Even with the resolutions and intentions we set, there’s also that element of uncertainty around the things we can’t control. What will come our way? What will shift for us?   This goes beyond just us as individuals. Our planet also goes through shifts and transitions with the rhythms of nature and the universe – and on this show, I’m talking with astrologer Rachel Lang to learn more about what might be coming for all...

348 – Transform Through Journaling

Journaling is truly a self-discovery tool. It helps us to find who we really are – what we want, what we value and what we feel – underneath the false self.    In fact, “journal” and “journey” come from the same root word. To journal is like taking a journey into the self!   Journaling is one of my go-to practices for transformation. It’s so powerful for learning more about yourself, processing your emotions, getting things off your chest, finding clarity and getting unstuck in life. And it’s totally free to do! What’s not...

347 – Holiday Replay: How Self-Validation Will Change Your Life

In my 25 years of practicing as a therapist and holistic life coach, I found that there was one common root cause behind many of the issues my clients were facing: low self-worth. From codependency to difficulty with decisions or boundaries, not having a strong connection with the inner self was often the driving force behind these challenges.   Most of us have a tendency to look outside of ourselves for worth and validation, and building up a strong sense of who we are on the inside takes practice. One of the...
