UL #342: Unlocking the Power of Your Adult Self with Michelle Chalfant

What if your self-doubt, overreactions, or stuck-ness aren’t the real you? What if freedom is simply a matter of coming home to yourself?

Welcome to the Unhurried Living Podcast with Gem Fadling—where we help you rest deeper, live fuller, and lead better.

In this episode, Gem is joined by Michelle Chalfant, therapist, coach, and creator of The Adult Chair model, a framework that blends psychology and spirituality to help you understand your inner world and live from your truest self.

Together, they unpack:

• The three "chairs" that represent emotional development

• Why your ego may still be using outdated maps from childhood

• How to recognize and work with your inner critic and emotional triggers

• Why boundaries are deeply connected to your self-worth

• What it looks like to live confidently and securely from The Adult Chair
