Hello, beautiful souls! I’m thrilled to welcome you back to "The Adult Chair" where we explore the paths to emotional maturity and healthier relationships.

Listen to discover:
Barbara’s Near-Death Experience and Its Impact: Barbara shares her powerful near-death experience that profoundly shifted her perspective on life, emotional health, and the power of our thoughts. This extraordinary event led her to develop techniques to overcome negative mental loops that influence our emotional well-being.
The Concept of Mind Loops: We delve into what mind loops are and how they can trap us in cycles of negative thinking. Barbara explains how these loops not only affect our mental health but can also manifest physically and disrupt our lives.
Strategies to Break Free from Negative Thinking: Barbara introduces her method for breaking free from destructive thought patterns, which includes recognizing and renaming thoughts to detach from their negative impacts. This process helps shift perspective and regain control over one’s mental state.

Quotes to Remember:
"We come here with these brains, these minds, but no one teaches us how to use them. And they're so powerful, continually creating our existence." - Barbara
"Everyone says this loosely: We are spiritual beings in human form... But did you really think about that?... I love that you brought that up." - Michelle
"If we get into unconscious negative habits of thinking, we are unconsciously creating negative outcomes." - Barbara
"We need to be looking at what the heck we're thinking. That seems to be the root of everything. That's the taproot to everything else." - Michelle
"Every question [in my life review] was about my thoughts. What does that tell you about the potency of our thoughts?" - Barbara
“Who is God? What is God? I was born and raised Catholic, but it never resonated as deeply as what I felt my whole life already. I felt this deep connection with God, source, universe, whatever you want to call it." - Michelle
"Once you clean your thoughts and you've cleaned your emotions and you don't have to wait till it's all gone, but once that process is up, you're being unblocked there to start creating from a conscious level." - Barbara

How To Listen to Your Soul
Lately, there’s been something stirring in my soul.
I don’t know exactly what it is yet, but I feel like it’s going to be BIG – like something new is coming, and I need to go inward and listen for what it is.
Have you ever felt this way? When this happens, I believe it’s our soul tugging at us, trying to tell us something about our mission and purpose on the planet.
And I have made it my intention to always listen when the soul calls.
It’s something I like to call “soul alignment” — a practice of going within and listening to the soul to get clarity on who we are and our illuminated path.
In this episode, I’m teaching you how to tune into the voice of your soul (the part of you that is seated squarely in the Adult Chair), why this is so important and how to clear the blocks that stand between us and our souls.
The five simple practices I share in today’s podcast will help you hear your soul’s whispers and nudges, know and feel the next steps on your path and take aligned action — not from the Adolescent Chair but from the Adult Chair.
Listen to discover:
The power of “soul alignment”
The importance of “deep listening”
How the ego gets in the way of listening
5 steps to listen to your soul
How to unlock greater passion, purpose and peace
The ego is rooted in fear, lives in the past and future and often screams at us in a loud voice. The soul lives in the present moment and speaks to us in a whisper, which is why we have to get still to hear it.
This episode will help you get out of your mind and into your heart, go inward and listen deeply to find your true purpose and guidance from within.
“When we align with our soul, we are guided.” - Michelle Chalfant
"When you're aligned with your soul, even the things that feel – to the ego – bad, what we find is that these things are the most beautiful gifts that we could have ever received." - Michelle Chalfant
“What your soul has in store for you is unlike anyone else on the entire planet.” - Michelle Chalfant
“Meditation is simply a practice that brings you into the present moment.” - Michelle Chalfant
“You’re going to feel nudges or feel pulled or moved to do things. That’s your soul. Pay attention.” - Michelle Chalfant
“Your soul’s not going to talk to you from your head. Your soul’s going to talk to you through your heart.” - Michelle Chalfant
“Ego lives in past and future only. Soul lives in present moment only.” - Michelle Chalfant

Healing Through Grounding with Clint Ober
What if the secret to better sleep, less inflammation and reduced pain was as simple as walking barefoot in the grass?
Both the earth and our bodies have an electrical charge, and “grounding” (or “earthing”) refers to the practice of connecting our bodies to the earth – keeping the body’s charge at an optimal balance and unlocking tremendous health benefits.
If you think this sounds like something made up by a crunchy tree hugger, think again: the father of grounding, Clint Ober, is actually a cable guy.
Clint had a strong connection with nature from growing up on a ranch out West and great knowledge about how electrical currents work from his career in the cable industry.
One day, he saw a group of tourists all wearing thick rubber-soled shoes (a non-conductive material), and it hit him:
Could our modern lifestyle be keeping us from grounding into the earth?
This has led to a new frontier of health research, with very promising findings about the impact of grounding on inflammation, stress, autoimmune disease and more. It’s the real deal!
I had the chance to talk to the man himself, Clint Ober, about how grounding works in the body, why our society is so ungrounded, the many, many health benefits of grounding and how anyone can start grounding – for FREE and today.
Listen to discover:
What earthing and grounding is
Why our bodies need to be connected to the earth's electrical charge
How grounding works in our immune system
The positive effect grounding can have on pain and chronic disease
How you can start grounding today
Grounding is so simple – it literally just requires going outside with bare feet (or conductive shoes).
And unlike so many health hacks or miracle cures on the market, this isn’t something to be added to your health…instead, it’s a return.
A return to nature, our design and the natural harmony that occurs when we’re connected to our bodies and the earth.
"The earth is basically electrical." - Clint Ober
"We can heal these illnesses we're walking around with by grounding." - Michelle Chalfant
"We've totally insulated ourselves from the earth when we're wearing shoes." - Clint Ober
"You can't have inflammation in a grounded object." - Clint Ober
"As soon as you get grounded, then you have the earth's energy all around your body, and it pushes away all of this environmental stuff." - Clint Ober
"If you want to take 10 years off your [age], just go outdoors and stick your bare feet on the grass." - Clint Ober
"The body is always striving to heal itself. Always. We are in the way." - Michelle Chalfant

Practical Intuition with Laura Day
Have you ever gotten a “gut feeling” that something was going to happen…and then it did? Or sensed that someone wasn’t trustworthy or that you shouldn’t move forward with a decision?
This is your intuition at work!
Intuition is something we all possess, and something we’ve all undeniably experienced, but how it works remains largely a mystery. Is it something spiritual? Psychological? Biological?
Laura Day grew up feeling like her brain was “different” in some way. She knew she had ADD and a number of head injuries, but she didn’t know she had an uncanny intuition until one day, she saw a television program about ESP research. She immediately related to it, picked up the phone, called the researchers and said, “I can do that.” For years, she participated in research studies about intuition and how it works.
Since then, Laura has built a high-profile career using her intuition for large companies and organizations and teaching others how to develop and tap into their innate intuition. A math, science and data nerd, Laura had no preconceived notions about intuition, which has given her a practical, grounded approach to learning and teaching about this ability.
In this episode, Laura shares her insights into what intuition actually is, how to tell the difference between intuition and fear, how to enhance your intuition and why intuition alone isn’t enough – we must direct it towards action.
If you’ve ever been curious about how those gut feelings and seemingly “sixth senses” work, you’re going to love this episode!
Listen to discover:
Whether or not we’re all born intuitive
How to tell the difference between intuition and fear
Why we all need to learn how to use our intuition
How to enhance and direct your intuition
The power of moving from intuition to action
Laura believes intuition is less a sixth sense and more an extension of the five senses we already have. But like a muscle, we have to exercise it and develop it.
When we learn to connect more deeply with ourselves and pay attention to what’s going on around us using all five senses, it’s amazing what we can uncover – and how that can help us direct our lives and relationships towards greater wisdom and wellbeing.
“We are all born intuitive.” - Laura Day
"If it's a persistent fear, it's not intuition. Intuition is accurate, immediate and actionable." - Laura Day
"It's a misnomer that intuition is a sixth sense. It's not. It's an extension of all of your senses in time and in space." - Laura Day
“So many people stay stuck, and they don’t realize that they are powerful creators and that they can get their way out of it.” - Michelle Chalfant
"The first thing you do to open your intuition or direct it effectively is you have goals." - Laura Day
"Intuition will show it to you, but it won't fix it for you." - Laura Day

The Art of Manifestation: How To Manifest Your Dream Life
2023 is behind us, and 2024 is here! The new year represents a clean slate and new chapter where you can begin manifesting the year – the life – you want.
I believe that, as creative beings, we are always in “creation mode.” Like gravity, we can’t turn the laws of manifestation on and off – they just are.
So, then the question becomes: What do you really want? And what is it that you are creating with every thought you have and word you speak?
In this episode, I’m giving you everything you need to get more intentional with your creations this year, whether you have a dream you’re finally ready to manifest or there’s something you want to change in your current reality, beginning with the words you’re telling yourself.
We’re covering four keys for POWERFUL manifestation, how to tune your “energetic dial” into the “radio frequency” of your deepest desires and a 10-step process to help you clear the unconscious beliefs that are blocking your creations…this is the missing piece to manifestation that no one talks about but makes ALL the difference!
Listen to discover:
How manifestation works
Getting clear on what it is you truly want
Why things aren’t manifesting in your life
The missing piece of manifestation that no one talks about
A 10-step process to clear blocks and barriers to manifesting
Four powerful keys to manifestation
You’re going to want to get pen and paper out for this one, because I’m giving you all the details, all the nuances and all the secrets to manifestation that I’ve learned over the years – with real-life examples to help you begin applying these principles today.
Whatever it is you want in 2024 (and even if you’re still figuring that out), this episode is step 1 to finding freedom from limiting beliefs, clearing unconscious blocks and changing the trajectory of your life this year.
“We are beings that are able to create. And we create our reality with every thought we have.” - Michelle Chalfant
"Once you clear your unconscious blocks, then you can attract in your creation." - Michelle Chalfant
"We have to have what I call a 'consistent manifesting mindset.'" - Michelle Chalfant
"Everything is possible – everything and anything. You just have to line up with it." - Michelle Chalfant
"The more you focus and expect and live as if this creation is coming in and already here, the faster it will come to you." - Michelle Chalfant
"I promise you can get and create the life that you want. Your thoughts and your spoken words are powerful. So, be really mindful of what you're saying." - Michelle Chalfant
"We're always in creation mode. It does not turn itself on and off, just like gravity. So, if you don't like your reality, you do have the power to change it with your thoughts." - Michelle Chalfant
