The Michelle Chalfant Show Life from the Adult Chair

85: The Power and the Promise of Journaling!

Never considered yourself much of a journaler? I get it. I’ve heard all the reasons, too. Not enough time. Not sure what to write. Can’t keep up with it. I did it once a while ago and didn’t see any results. The list goes on and on and on!   But for those who have managed to get over the hump, who have conquered the perils of the blank page, they know that the benefits of introspection through journaling are as deep as they are broad. You can heal yourself, build a...

84: Raising Self-Esteem

Many of us have a fragile relationship with our self-esteem. Even those who wear a brave face may be struggling inside, fighting negative self-talk and our history of lack of validation. Today, we’re talking about reprogramming, new language that can help you see yourself in a new light. This is a doorway you’ll open to connect to something bigger, deeper than yourself, and realign your relationship to your experiences as just that: experiences, and nothing more.   Since meditation is such a key component to this work, make sure to check out...

78: Meditation, Mindfulness, and Peace with Buddhist Noah Levine

What does it mean to find happiness? Noah Levine tried to find it — with motorcycles and leather jackets and drugs and more — only to discover that the true path to happiness is on the inside. Since then, he’s become one of the foremost instructors of mindfulness and meditation from the Buddhist perspective thanks to his own journey of peace, and he’s with us today to share more.   This week’s episode kicks off a series of conversations on relationships with a focus on our inner relationship, the one we have...

77: Drive Time Download: What do you do with pain?

Once again, the car has shown itself to be a terrific vessel for inspiration! So many clients have been facing this central question that I found it a great time step back and share some guiding thoughts. When we experience a negative emotion, our instinct is to jump out of it, to move back to happiness and peace as quickly as possible. But we’re not taught to do that authentically so we look for an escape. Today I have some thoughts on how to approach pain from the Adult Chair...

72: From the Archives — The New Year, Energy & Inclusion with Ramona Reid

Happy July everybody! We’re taking the month off with new shows but we have some good stuff to share on the podcast even while we’re on vacation! First up this week, let’s take a trip back to the new year.   On January 1, I sat down with our friend Ramona Reid on her show, Holistic Revolution Radio, to talk about the new year, energy, inclusion, and chakras. It’s a wide-ranging and informative conversation and — as always with Ramona — a lot of fun! Even though we were talking in the...

71: The Challenge to Change Black & White Thinking!

What is black and white thinking? It’s thinking in extremes and absolutes. We’re for something or against something else, and in between there is nothing. Something is good or bad, healthy or unhealthy, successful, or a failure. Of course, as you’re reading this, you probably think the whole concept sounds ridiculous, and you’re right! But of course, that’s the danger here: many people are unaware that they are black and white thinkers.   Why do people do this? Thinking in absolutes helps us to feel safe, that at least in this area,...

67: “I don’t do emotions.”

We all experience emotional pain off and on throughout our lives. Relationships end, people and pets die, jobs end. Pain could be just around the next corner! The problem is that as humans we think that facing pain means putting it away, hiding from it, dealing with pain as we so love to say.   We don’t need to deal with our pain, we need to feel our pain and that is where we go wrong. This week on the show we’re talking all about experiencing emotions and I have some tried...

66: The Secret to Truly Helping Others Through Pain

When we are met with a friend or family member in pain — or grief, sadness, really any emotion — our instinct is to console them, to somehow help relieve their discomfort or even fix their pain. Here’s the problem: that doesn’t help. There is way to help others with their pain but it’s not what you’d think. When we demonstrate awareness, love, and willingness to be present in another’s pain, it provides a platform for change, and that’s what we’re going to teach you how to do on the...

65: How To Connect With Your Inner Child

Have you ever found yourself listening to us talking about connecting to our inner child, and wondered, “right, I get it, but how?” We’re going to help you today! The hardest part about doing this inner child work on your own is getting past the awkward feeling, the self-judgment that you’re not doing it right. It will likely feel strange to start, but once you get into the practice, you’ll feel right at home with the practical visualization of actually connecting with your inner child, and get to the peace,...
