050: The Art of Surrender Jan 19, 2017

Show notes

When we surrender, we're choosing to let go of control of a situation. It's consciously letting go of the ego and drive to dominate a situation with trust that the future will unfold as it is meant to. This is a position of peace, not trauma, relief, not stress.

This week on the show, Pete kicks us off with a story of his own surrender, losing a decade of his own professional photography work and finding a path to releasing control, finding relief from the panic attached to the outcome, and sitting in the Adult Chair.

Surrender allows you to write the story of peace in your own future, existing in the full-body experience of release that comes with intentional detachment from struggle.

049: Am I a Fraud? Imposter Syndrome and You! Jan 05, 2017

Show notes

I am a Fraud!

There. I said it out loud.

Does it sound familiar? For many of you, it probably does. The voice of the imposter is a voice that lives in all of us. It comes from an instinct that is thousands of years old, one designed to protect us and keep us safe in our communities. Today, it can make us want to run and hide.

Today on the show, we talk about what it means to face the imposter inside us, and what we can do to find strength in spite of it. Special guest Graham Chalfant joins it from a secret location!

Want to learn how to love yourself, take off your masks, and live more authentically? Here's the place to do it! Listen to this replay of Michelle's interview on Nashville's "Holistic Revolution" radio show with host Ramona Reid.

Plus, if you've ever wondered what it's like to go through the process of working through your child, adolescent, and adult chairs, Ramona graciously offers a panic experience to process with Michelle live on the show. Thank you, Ramona!

048: Are You an Empath? Dec 08, 2016

Show notes

Do you feel emotions deeply? Do you know how others are feeling, sometimes before they do? Do you struggle with fatigue or overwhelm? You may be an empath.

This show is all about empaths. It's more than a discussion of what it means to be empathetic. Having the skill to put yourself in others' shoes is great, but not our focus. Today's conversation is all about those of us who live in the world and can't turn the empathy off.

Our hope is that after listening to this conversation you'll have a better sense of your gifts, and the rhythms that make you you. We discuss the traits of an empath and how to exist in the world if you are one. Finally, we have some great ideas for empath kids to help them learn to protect themselves energetically when the world around them gets loud. Join us!

047: The Many Faces of Depression Nov 10, 2016

Show notes

For so many, the experience of "depression" is actually the experience of getting "stuck." When we get stuck and feel like we have no options, we can fall into hopelessness and helplessness. Emotions like these are ones we want to run from and numb out.

When the body experiences an emotion, the mind says STOP! This may kill you! Go get a vice! Numb that out! My clients often tell me that they address their own negative emotions, flatness, or depressed experience, with something that will numb them and mask the feelings with a quick solution or dopamine rush. Find a glass of wine. Go get chocolate. Gamble. Shop. Create drama with those around you to hide from your own. All these things numb your experience of negative emotions, suppress the depression just a bit, and this cycle continues until we resolve these feelings more fully.

Today on the show we're going to talk about the techniques we can use to help us become more aware of our negative emotions, how to move them through the body, and make that feeling of stuckness evaporate!

046: How do you teach your child to sit in the adult chair? Oct 27, 2016

Show notes

If you're a human parent, you've probably faced some version of this question. How do you teach your kids how to be emotionally present in the world? How to protect themselves and be assertive, and how to live with grace and compassion all at the same time?

The answer is both incredibly complicated, and deceptively simple: you can't.

And that's where we pick up on the show today, taking on the assumptions we make and the stories we tell ourselves that lead to frustration and shame in our ability to parent. The truth is that you're probably doing fine, and I can't wait to tell you why — just listen in this week and you'll find out!

045: How do you set the tone of your day? Oct 13, 2016

Show notes

So many clients have been coming to me dealing with daily stress. You know the feeling — you might not be able to put your finger on it, but the accumulation of stressors in your life feel like 10,000 pounds on your back.

There is no one grand solution, rather a journey of many steps, and an easy one you can take right now today, is to focus on the way you start your day, and set the tone for everything that comes before you. Are you looking at your day with frustration and impatience? Or are you looking over your day with peace and gratitude?

Today, we're going to focus on setting the tone for our day with grace! Starting with a quick 1-minute breathing exercise that you can do anywhere, you can slowly start to build the habit of mindfulness that will become the foundation for everything you do!

044: Introverts & Extroverts — Which one are you? Sep 29, 2016

Show notes

"Sometimes I think my son is a complete shut-in."

"I just need to escape."

"Crowds make me feel like my world is closing in."

What do you think about when you read those lines? Familiar? Foreign? Frustrating? These lines all come from people trying to understand where they and their loved ones relate to their personality orientation: Extroverts or Introverts.

If you've ever taken a behavior indicator like Myers Briggs, you have probably received a score that rates you on the introversion/extroversion scale. Like all things related to personality, we exist on spectrum. And understanding who we are at our core can help us better relate to the world around us and feel more comfortable in our skins at the same time!

I've had this on my list of things to talk about with you all for over a year so I'm thrilled that Pete and I have finally managed to get it on the schedule. I hope our conversation inspires you to get to know yourself better, and think more critically about how you relate to your loved ones, too.

043: Living through Cancer in The Adult Chair Sep 15, 2016

Show notes

This is another of our very special episodes! Connie is a client and dear friend and has joined me today for a conversation around her experience from the beginning of her diagnosis with aggressive breast cancer, through resolution. We talk about how we use The Adult Chair model to help us navigate trauma not just in recovery, but in the process of experiencing it. As Connie says, "It helped me feel like I wasn't just thrown to the wolves in this, that I was in balance, and brought me back into my body."

Such a powerful story. I hope you're able to join us today!

042: Inviting your Relationship into the Adult Chair with Michelle and Graham Chalfant Jul 28, 2016

Show notes

Worlds collide! This week on the show, for the very first time in over three years, Pete and I got to meet face-to-face! Even better than that, sitting together in a hotel lobby/swimming pool in Seattle, Pete and I finally recorded the long-awaited conversation with my husband Graham on communication and inviting the relationship into the Adult Chair when we're triggered.

As it turned out, this was a much broader conversation that we'd intended. Graham is in an interesting position; as someone who has experience with my work at home, and certainly well-versed in using the Adult Chair in our marriage, his insights on how the Adult Chair support him at work with his peers are illuminating (if I do say so myself!).

Join us, and share your thoughts! This was a really fun conversation and we're looking forward to more — how is the Adult Chair supporting you at home and at work?

XO,

Michelle
