The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair

I'm back from my summer break! Welcome to the first show of our new podcast year. I am so excited about our guest today. I have spoken for months about Myofascial Release Technique and am finally having our in house expert on the show! Diana Schneider, Advanced Myofacial Release Therapist is on today talking all about what the technique is and how it can help you. This technique has been a beautiful complement for my own clients as well as part of my bi-weekly self care. It's a wonderful way to release emotions, take the body out of fight or flight, help the body to "calm down" from anxiety and relax and so much more. It's also wonderful for people with locked muscles, physical pain, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Myofascial Release is a technique that releases emotions out of the fascia, the film that resides over the muscles, which creates a relaxed state in the body and mind. Diana and I talk all about how it works and who it can help (all of us). :) I can't wait for you to hear this show!

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 the damaging patterns and programs that play over and over in our lives. Thanks to her work with the Chairs, she's found grounding and hope in moving forward through relationship addiction and more. https://TakeCareOf.com Promo code: Adult For 25% off your first Care/Of order.

Today I share with you how we create Healthy Relationships from The Adult Chair. Unfortunately, so many of us aren't taught how to have healthy relationships. In fact, most of us enter into relationships with a lot of baggage which can activate our triggers, and leave us feeling helpless and not sure what to do to help or improve our relationship. In today's show I offer tools and tips on how we can create and/or improve our relationships. A big part of healthy relationships is being able to communicate effectively, which again so many of us are unsure how to do. Today's tools can be applied to any relationship, not only romantic ones. I hope you find hope, clarity and empowerment after listening to today's show as now you too can begin to create new stronger connections in your own life and with others. https://theadultchair.com/events The Adult Chair events: San Antonio, TX October 25-28

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 and live in the world with greater peace and better health. In today's show, Sarah Weiss shares incredible information about being an empath as well as the blessings and difficulties that come along with it. It was an awesome conversation, jam-packed with invaluable information. https://theadultchair.com/events The Adult Chair events: San Antonio, TX October 25-28 Sarah Weiss website https://spirithealonline.com Episode 21: Grounding and the Energy of the Earth with Sarah Weiss https://theadultchair.com/podcast/21

Ouch! Did someone call you a control freak?! I get it...been there with that label. We think that we are getting so much done, life feels like it's in order and things are just, "better" because of how we see and operate in the world. It's just "who we are." I had to sit with that one when someone told me years ago that I was a control freak. I contemplated..."It isn't who I am?" "Who would I be without my control?" Well it scared the crap out of me frankly. After examining my own control and working with clients for years on this "issue" I can thankfully say that I am on the other side of it but still very aware of it and recognize when it tries to sneak into my life under the radar. I realize that without it, I felt stripped away of my very identity. So I had to learn who I was without it. It was a painful ego transformation as it was such a part of who I was! In today's show, I give you 6 "control busting truths" to help you too to loosen the grip of your inner control freak. As scary as it was for me to face this inner part, I can honestly say my life is much easier without this part running my life. I know that when you begin to loosen the grip of yours and experience another way, life changes for the better and you will find much more peace in your life and something new may emerge...trust!

How do you feel about anger? What do you do with your anger? Do you shove it down and override it with being "nice" so you "don't rock the boat"? Many of us grew up with unhealthy anger modeling. Maybe you had a narcissistic and angry parent in the home. Perhaps when you had anger in your home, you were told it was unacceptable or even bad. Whatever the case may be, anger is a healthy and much needed emotion. Anger fuels our power and can help us to make decisions and take steps forward in our lives. It's a powerful emotion, when expressed from our Adult Chair. In today's show, I give you two client examples of how their lives were able to change and transform when they allowed themselves to feel anger. Get excited, you are about to hear about all the benefits of anger and how to unlock and express yours.

Today I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Suzy, someone that has had a life of enmeshment, codependency, abusive, attempted murder by her husband and more. She now lives with greater peace and balance than ever before and she says a large part of her transformation is due to The Adult Chair. Her story is as unbelievable as it is inspirational. Grab your Kleenex when listening to this one and be prepared to view your own life through a different lens by the end of the show. So grateful for her vulnerability and honesty and her willingness to share her story with all of us. Sponsor: Ned https://helloned.com/adult Promo code: Adult 15% off plus free shipping
