Let’s talk about adulting— actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant , licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life . With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she’s here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here’s the truth: being an adult isn’t about checking boxes or pretending you’re fine. It’s about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It’s about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they’re clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it’s never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you’re starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

What if the secret to spiritual strength lies not in relentless striving, but in intentional rest? In this powerful sermon, Jonathan Fitzgerald FCA West Seminole County Area Representative/ Regular Attender shares a heartfelt message about the biblical art of rest, drawing from the invaluable wisdom of the Psalms. Life often bombards us with distractions—emails, chores, and everything in between—that can lead to burnout. However, Pastor reminds us that true rest is not just about taking time off; it’s about cultivating a deep fellowship with God amidst the chaos. By exploring the lives of David and Jesus, particularly through Psalms 23 and Mark 4, he illustrates that peace and rest aren't dependent on our circumstances but on our connection with the Good Shepherd. Pastor invites the congregation to recommit to this true devotion, urging that even in times of desolation, when God feels absent, He is guiding us gently towards rest. This message is an invitation for all to reflect on their rhythms of life—where can we incorporate moments of silence, solitude, or simply engage in heartfelt prayer? Don’t miss the chance to discover how rest can rejuvenate your spirit and deepen your relationship with God. Engage with this transformative message and find your path to peace this week.…
