    501: Your "Heart Wall" May Be Fueling Anxiety, Numbness, & Disconnection | Dr. Bradley Nelson

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bradley Nelson, creator of The Emotion Code and The Body Code, to talk about his newer work, The Heart Code and the powerful concept of the "heart wall." We explore how trapped emotions form, how they can impact the body and mind (including anxiety, depression, disconnection, and low self-worth), and what it can look like to clear them so you can feel more love, joy, and belonging in your life. Dr. Brad also walks me through a real, live heart wall clearing, so you can hear what the process sounds like in real time. In this episode, you'll learn:  What a "heart wall" is, and why Dr. Brad believes most people have one How trapped emotions form (and why they sometimes get "stuck") The surprising link between emotional baggage and physical pain How inherited and absorbed emotions can become part of your emotional reality Why clearing emotional energy can unlock love, creativity, connection, and belonging What to expect after a heart wall release, including how the integration period can feel Resources from this Episode: Visit Dr. Bradley's website here.  The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson The Body Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson The Heart Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

    Today's episode is a special one as we celebrate the 500th episode of the show and over 11 million downloads worldwide. I'm joined by Jess Giacobbe from my team, who turns the microphone around and asks me the questions listeners have always wanted to ask about my journey, my work, and what I've learned along the way.

I also share what "downloads" actually feel like, how triggers reveal unconscious beliefs, and why real change can happen faster than you think when you shift your response. *Congratulations to the winners of our 500th Episode Giveaway - Heather R. & Joellen G.

    499: Why Willpower Fails: Emotional Eating Explained with Matty Lansdown

    Today, I'm joined by scientist, nutritionist, and emotional eating and self-sabotage coach Matty Lansdown for a real conversation about health and weight that goes way deeper than food rules. Matty shares why most of us already know what to do, but still feel stuck, and how the real shift happens when you understand the patterns underneath your choices.  We talk about emotional eating, trauma and self-protection, dopamine loops, and the unsexy truth that sustainable change usually comes from building awareness first, then making small tweaks consistently, without triggering rebellion. In this episode, we explore:  Why it's "not about calories or kale," it's mindset and behavior change Two common roots behind emotional eating: trauma and dopamine-driven self-soothing A simple awareness practice: track what you eat, where you eat, and what you feel "One tweak a week" and why slow change is often the only change that sticks How rebellion gets triggered by rigid plans, and how self-guided empowerment helps Why naming the emotion can quiet a craving (Michelle shares her own "potato chips" moment) Fermented foods, gut health, and how the microbiome can influence your body's set  Obesogens, plastics, and common chemicals that may disrupt metabolism and hormones Resources from this Episode: Connect with Matty Lansdown: Visit Matty's website Matty's Podcast: The Real Weight Loss Coach Matty on Instagram: @the.real.weight.loss.coach   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

    498: Dating Yourself: The Ultimate Self Worth Reset

    Today, I'm joined by Sonia Flores, someone I've known and worked with for years, and after a team meeting where she dropped a phrase that stopped us all in our tracks, I knew we had to bring it to the podcast. The term is "Mantourage Dating," and it's a powerful way to date from self-worth, boundaries, and grounded confidence. This conversation is about dating, but it's also about so much more. If you're not dating, don't skip this episode. What Sonia shares applies to long-term partnerships, marriages, and every relationship you have, because the real shift happens when you stop making it about them and start making it about you. In this episode, we explore:  How "Mantourage Dating" works and why it helps you stay grounded Why dating gets easier when you stop chasing outcomes and focus on your own experience The mindset shift that changed everything for Sonia How to date with clear standards, boundaries, and self-respect Why having a list of what you want (places, experiences, energy) keeps you out of people-pleasing How self-worth changes what you tolerate, what you attract, and what you choose Why this concept applies even if you're already in a committed relationship   Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Sonia: Website: https://www.bluechakrastudio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bluechakrastudio Podcast: https://apple.co/3G50aQC   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

    497: Michelle's Mom Joins the Podcast: A Surprise Mini-Session That Stops Negative Self-Talk

    Today's episode is a true "sneak attack" mini-session I recorded on the spot because the shift happened so fast, I wanted you to hear it in real time.  At first, I introduced my guest "JoJo" as a code name. Then we reveal the big moment: "JoJo" is actually my mom, Nancy Brindisi, and this is her first-ever time on the podcast! My mom is in that brave space of considering dating again after years, and the negative self-talk started spiraling. So I walked her through one simple practice that stopped the mental loop within minutes, and the calm that followed was unmistakable. In this episode, I share:  Why negative self-talk often spikes when you're stepping into something new, especially dating again How I work with "parts" as energetic parts work (working with the energy of the judging, doubting part) A practical way to borrow supportive energy when you can't access your Adult Chair in the moment How this practice can come through as words, images, or a felt sense, and why your way is the right way   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

    496: Brain Fog & The M-Factor: Tamsen Fadal on the Truth About Menopause

    Today, I'm joined by Emmy-winning journalist and menopause advocate Tamsen Fadal, whose own unexpected journey through perimenopause and menopause led her to create a global movement of education, support, and empowerment for women. After years of brain fog, exhaustion, misdiagnosis, and silence from the medical system, Tamsen began using her voice and platform to help women understand what is happening in their bodies and how to advocate for real care. In this episode, we talk honestly about symptoms, hormones, relationships, sex, confidence, and why so many women feel blindsided by this transition. Tamsen brings clarity, humor, and compassion to a life stage that has been ignored for far too long, and she offers real guidance for women who want to feel informed, supported, and empowered. In this episode, we explore:  The symptoms most women miss in early perimenopause Why brain fog and sleep issues are among the most debilitating changes The impact of hormonal shifts on mood, libido, skin, hair, and body composition Misconceptions about estrogen, the WHI study, and hormone therapy The role of testosterone and why it is often a missing piece How to communicate with your partner about what you are experiencing Why advocating for yourself and finding an educated provider is essential   Resources from this Episode: Learn more about Tamsen Fadal: https://tamsenfadal.com Menopause Society Provider Finder: https://menopausesociety.org  Get Tamsen's book, "How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before"   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant
