056: What do I do with my Feelings and Emotions?
As humans, we feel things deeply. Many of us cope with those feelings — particularly the negative ones — with some sort of numbing agent like food, or booze, or anything to minimize the impact of those feelings in our daily lives. But what do we do with those feelings and emotions get stuck? What do we do when we start to get baked in that shape of grief? This week on the show we're talking all about the practice of moving with and through our emotions, and share the key strategies you can use to face your fears without resorting to escape!

055: What's Life Like in the Adult Chair?
The journey of The Adult Chair is not one of a destination, but rather an understanding. This week on the show, we talk about the confusion that can come to those who expect to live in their adult all the time, the frustration that comes with you feel like you finally understand what it feels like to sit in your Adult Chair, only to experience being snapped back into your Adolescent Chair thanks to your environment. Here's the trick: it's impossible to live in your Adult Chair all the time, but today we're going to tell you why!

What is Life Like in the Adult Chair?
What's life like in the Adult Chair? Hi everyone! I felt really inspired today when I was in the shower and I decided to record my inspiration while I got ready this morning. Please excuse the banging around I was doing as I didn't know at the time that I would launch this to the group but it was such great information, I decided to share it with you. I hear people say to me that they were in their Adult Chair all day today until something happened and they moved chairs. That's really hard to do and in this audio I explain why. I also explain what life is like and isn't like in the Adult Chair. Have a listen as it's only 10 minutes. Let me know what you think! Xoxo Michelle

050: The Art of Surrender
When we surrender, we're choosing to let go of control of a situation. It's consciously letting go of the ego and drive to dominate a situation with trust that the future will unfold as it is meant to. This is a position of peace, not trauma, relief, not stress. This week on the show, Pete kicks us off with a story of his own surrender, losing a decade of his own professional photography work and finding a path to releasing control, finding relief from the panic attached to the outcome, and sitting in the Adult Chair. Surrender allows you to write the story of peace in your own future, existing in the full-body experience of release that comes with intentional detachment from struggle.
