099: Vulnerability

Most of us grew up thinking that vulnerability equals weakness. Let's get this straight right off the top: that is absolutely not true. This week on the podcast we're going to pull that misconception apart and share some examples of vulnerability that you can use to frame how you approach becoming vulnerable as an act of courage, an act of embracing risk, and most importantly, and act of love!

097: DriveTime Download: Healing Trauma

Trauma comes in many shapes and sizes. From single events to long-running experiences that take away our sense of safety and security. Even if it doesn't involve physical harm, it can lead toward isolation, depression, severe anxiety, and overwhelm. This week on the show, Michelle is back with a DriveTime Download inspired by the conversation on The Adult Chair private Facebook group to reflect on the nature of trauma and steps we can take to move forward in our Adult Chair!

091: What do I do with my anger?

So many of us are afraid of our anger. We use language like, "don't go there" or "stay calm". We to push it down and shove it away and teach ourselves to hide from it, and hide it from others. In fact, this is the programming we get from others when we have anger. People close to us tell us to "chill out", "calm down" or even "get over it". The most insidious: sometimes we even hear "you are scaring me". Of course, we don't want to scare others, so we shove down this powerful emotion, and there it sits, simmering. But anger is an emotion of change. If we learn to sit with our anger just as we sit with our other emotions, we can come to understand it, to learn from it, and maybe even to love it in time. This week on the show, we're talking all about the anger that lives inside of all of us, and how we can live in harmony with it instead of fear! Links & Notes New Adult Chair courses are live!
