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.

This week we return to exploring arguments for God’s existence, specifically the Moral Argument. Do we need God for morality? Clare talks through what the moral argument is and what it's not. It’s designed to help us grapple with the foundations of objective moral values, and how perhaps this points us to God.

On this episode Clare looks at stories of Ancient Egypt which describe Aset (Isis) and her alleged virgin birth/immaculate conception. The idea that Christianity copied from story is closely examined, alongside the interpretation of Egyptian carvings which predate and tell a seemingly similar account to the resurrection of Jesus.

The allegation that Christianity is copied is popular within the Black community. It's the idea that Christianity's colonial power stole and reformulated ideas from Kemeticism, ancient Egyptian religion. Clare explores this objection, looking at the Afrocentric and European scholarship which underpins its claims. Resources: Urban Apologetics ed.

If we’re honest, we all have doubts about our faith from time to time. Clare shares some of these experiences in her own life, and encourages us to see doubts, not as the precursor to the demise of our faith, but as the path to deeper relationship with God.
