Ever feel like you’re stuck in emotional quicksand—reacting instead of responding, repeating old patterns, and people-pleasing your way to burnout? This episode is your lifeline.


Lo sits down with Michelle Chalfant, therapist, author, and creator of The Adult Chair model, to talk about the psychology behind our emotional survival strategies—why we do what we do, and how to finally stop doing the things that keep us small, anxious, or stuck. From inner child healing to boundary setting, this conversation is a therapy session, a masterclass, and a wake-up call all rolled into one.


If you’re ready to leave behind guilt, perfectionism, or that never-ending need to prove yourself, this one’s for you. Let’s unpack the behaviors that helped us survive—and find the ones that will help us thrive.
