The Michelle Chalfant Show Life from the Adult Chair

208 – Triumph Over Abuse: An Interview With Survivors

Studies show that since the start of the COVID-19 quarantine, domestic abuse is up by 30 to 40 percent worldwide. Abusers are using the global crisis to increase their sense of power and control, and women are trapped at home with abusive partners, making them more vulnerable to frequent abuse. This is something that enrages me and that I’m so passionate about shedding light on.     Domestic abuse isn’t just a quarantine issue. Far too many women (and men) suffer abuse from their partners daily, and I felt compelled to do something...

207 – The Narcissism and Codependency Connection with Ross Rosenberg

Today, we’re talking about two of our listeners’ favorite topics — narcissism and codependency. I’ve discussed these topics individually on the show before, but in reality, they are deeply connected with each other. And I’m honored to welcome back to the show Ross Rosenberg, a psychotherapist and leading expert on codependency, narcissism, trauma and addiction, on the show to help us understand the connection between these two traits and how to break the cycle.   Ross explains the “dance” of codependency and narcissism, exploring how codependency often forms from narcissistic abuse in...

206 – 5 Steps To Peace

For the first time in history, the entire world is sharing the same fears and the same hopes. With so much chaos all around us and with everyone’s life impacted by this virus and the quarantine, is it really possible to find peace?    I believe you can find peace no matter where you are in life, and I believe that because I have lived it! I spent the first part of my life living with anxiety and depression every day, and now I wake up most days in a state of...

172- The Joy of Codependency

What would you think if I told you that joy could be part of codependency? Well it can!   Codependency and I have been friends for too many years to count (most of my life). However, in my discovery of this, I have found joy in learning who I am as an Adult and taking my childhood back. I might even say that I find it now as a gift as I now get to discover who I am and it’s an exciting journey to take as an Adult.   I feel my inner...

170- Breaking Negative Patterns and Programs

This is the last show replay for the summer. It’s a wonderful show where I work with a client on breaking her negative patterns. There is a lot to be learned from this show.   The only way you’re going to heal is to own your life. That’s the overriding message of the show today and it comes thanks to the story of a fabulous client we’ll call “Carolyn.” She’s graciously offered her story for this week’s show as a demonstration of owning your own stuff, and making great strides in breaking...

Yuck…Shame! Who wants to look at or feel their shame?   I realize that so many of us avoid our shame because we don’t know what to do with it! What if I told you, I could give you tools to help heal and transform your shame?   Well today is your lucky day as I am giving you steps to work with, get to know and transform your shame. I also recorded a guided meditation to go with this podcast in order to help you work with and release shame specifically whenever it...

168- #2: Transform Your Parts and Find Self Love

We are made up of many parts that create our whole.   We can’t help but have parts like the doubter, blamer, the “I am a fraud” part, etc. We all have parts that we don’t like (or even hate) but we don’t know what to do with them….until today.   Today, I share with you what we do with these parts that you don’t like. I offer you a 7 step process on how you can transform these inner parts, find freedom and yes, grow to love yourself.     LINKS & RESOURCES:   Care/Of This show is brought...

165- #5: The Enlightened Empath with Sarah Weiss

Feeling drained or fatigued? Maybe you pick up on other people’s emotions and can feel what they are feeling? This “phenomena” is not random, these are qualities of an empath.   Many of us are walking around with anxiety, depression, aches and pains and are not aware that these too are common “issues” empaths can have. This was how I spent the first half of my life, until I learned about empaths and how to set better boundaries for myself.   When we understand the qualities of being an empath, we can get healthy...
