Michelle Chalfant
Hosted by Michelle Chalfant
A licensed therapist guides listeners through her 'Adult Chair' model to heal past wounds, set boundaries, and respond to life with maturity.
This is a psycho-educational podcast that alternates between solo coaching sessions, guided meditations, and interviews. The host, a licensed therapist, uses her proprietary 'Adult Chair' framework—a three-part model of the inner Child, Adolescent, and Adult selves—as a simple, powerful lens to understand emotional reactions and cultivate a more mature, conscious response to life.
“The show's core strength is the 'Adult Chair' model, a sticky and accessible metaphor that provides a consistent framework for all topics, from setting boundaries with parents to understanding astrology. This central concept, delivered by a credentialed therapist, gives the show a clear, authoritative, and practical focus that stands out in the crowded self-help space.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Chalfant begins interviews by warmly validating the guest, sometimes sharing a personal, positive experience she's had with their work to build credibility. She then opens the floor with broad, origin-story questions, allowing the guest to narrate their journey into their expertise. A signature move is to pause the narrative to ask for clear definitions of key concepts (like 'karma' or 'evolutionary astrology'), ensuring her audience can follow along with specialized topics. Her style is supportive and inquisitive, aimed at making complex or esoteric subjects feel accessible and practical.
The podcast alternates between three formats: short, solo episodes offering advice or guided meditations; clips from longer teachings; and full-length interviews. Chalfant's delivery is calm, clear, and supportive, consistently referencing her 'Adult Chair' model as a foundational tool for listeners.
