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.

3 Easy Ways to Stop Avoiding Conflict at Work 10:26

3 дні тому10:26

10:26

Diving deep into the psychology behind conflict avoidance, this episode explores two fundamental causes: environmental factors where leadership fails to create safe spaces for open discussion, and intrapersonal habits rooted in people-pleasing tendencies and fear of rejection. By understanding these underlying mechanisms, you'll recognize how avoiding necessary conversations actually builds resentment and diminishes your professional presence. The heart of this episode offers three powerful, actionable strategies to transform how you approach workplace disagreements: Learn to speak up without attachment to outcomes—breaking the connection between voicing opinions and fear of rejection. Discover how simply reframing "conflict" as "solution-seeking opportunities" can rewire your brain's response to disagreement. Implement weekly behavioral experiments that build your confidence through deliberate practice in low-stakes situations. Ready to transform how you handle workplace differences?

Listen to their insights on how athletes can master the mental game. Vignette Case Study: Name: “Andre Anxiety” Sport: Tennis Issue: Andre, a 22-year-old professional tennis player, is ranked 100th in world. He feels stuck at this ranking and when he has an opportunity to advance he gets nervous before and during his matches, and plays below his ability. His coach and others agree he could be ranked in the top fifty. Andre has started avoiding matches where he could advance in the rankings. Andre says. “I am relaxed and confident in practice, but when the stakes are high, I get stuck in my head.” Background: Andre fell in love with tennis at age 10, after his dad took him to watch a professional match. His dad was also a top-ranked player in his day. Andre showed immediate natural talent and at age 12 he decided he wanted to be a pro tennis player. His parents supported his choice and Andre turned pro at age 16. He rose quickly through the ranks and broke the top-100 when he was 19. Andre’s coach continually praises and pushes him and told Andre, “You are so much more talented than I was; I know you can be the best in the world.” ABOUT ZORAN STOJKOVIC: https://www.kizo.ca ABOUT MICHAEL CEELY: https://www.michaelceely.com Disclaimer: Content is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.…
