The Adult Chair® Collective
The gap between knowing yourself and
becoming yourself ends here.
Understanding yourself and becoming yourself are two completely different things.
The Adult Chair® Collective is where that gap finally closes.
Not through more information. Through embodied, guided monthly practice — with community walking the same path alongside you.
YOU WILL:
Regulate before reacting
Hold boundaries without guilt
Recognize which Chair you're in within seconds
Stop abandoning yourself in hard conversations
Feel steady in situations that used to hijack you
WHAT IT IS:
$97 per month — no contracts
4 live touchpoints every month
Full library access from day one
A complete transformation arc
A community doing the real work
You Are Not Broken. You Are Patterned.
Understanding your nervous system doesn't stop it from firing.
Knowing your inner child doesn't mean you stop reacting from it.
Most people spend their lives in the gap between understanding themselves and actually becoming someone different — no matter how many books they read or courses they take.
The gap is what The Adult Chair® Collective was built to close.
This is not a course. This is a living practice.
Learn the model in a live immersive teaching that moves from your head into your body.
Apply it immediately through integration work designed for your actual relationships and your actual life.
Get coached by Michelle in real time until it stops being a concept and becomes who you are.
THIS IS HOW PATTERNS ACTUALLY CHANGE. NOT THROUGH INSIGHT ALONE. THROUGH REPETITION, REGULATION, AND EMBODIED PRACTICE.
"I am a bridge — between the psychology that explains your patterns and the deeper truth of who you have always been. My work is not about fixing you. It is about helping you remember yourself."
One Curated Path. One Destination.
"I finally know who I am."
One month. One theme. One shift. Each month builds on the last. Each month your baseline rises.
MOVEMENT ONE: AWARENESS
MONTHS 1-4
You finally understand what has been running your life.
- Everything in my life finally makes sense
- Why your nervous system keeps you stuck
- The story that's been running your life
- Where is my joy?
MOVEMENT TWO: UNDERSTANDING
MONTHS 5-8
You uncover the masks and meet the parts underneath them.
- Cracking your masks
- Meet your parts
- Welcome to your Adult Chair®
- Become your own biggest cheerleader
MOVEMENT THREE: REPROGRAMMING
MONTHS 9-12
You become your Adult Chair® in real life— not just in theory.
- Your emotions are your superpower
- Triggers are a gift
- You can't give what you don't have
- I finally know who I am

What Your Month Looks Like
Four Touchpoints. Every Month.
Designed to move the work from your head into your body — and from your body into your actual life.
WEEK 1: Live Teaching
60 minutes live with Michelle. Not a lecture — a guided immersive experience. Interactive, somatic, experiential. You leave with something you did not walk in with.
WEEK 2: Integration Work
One journaling prompt. One somatic practice. One real-life awareness shift. Twenty minutes. Lands the teaching in your actual relationships and your actual body.
WEEK 3: The Anchor
A personal audio from Michelle delivered to your inbox. Her voice. No production. The moment in the month when life gets loud and you need a quiet reminder of who you are.
WEEK 4: Coaching Lab
60 minutes live with Michelle. This is where you bring your real questions, your real stuck places, your real life. Michelle coaches members directly — live, in real time, in front of the group. When Michelle coaches you, everything shifts.

What Transformation Actually Looks Like
THE MOMENT IT CLICKS
One member joined during a nervous system teaching. Weeks later he reached out to share what had happened. Something clicked in a way it never had before. He connected a childhood habit of retreating to his computer when his parents fought to the isolation patterns he still carried as an adult. He felt it in his body. He traced it all the way back. Something in him reorganized.
"This is a game changer." — That is not information landing. That is a life reorganizing.
What Members Are Already Experiencing:
"I catch myself before reacting."
"I don't spiral after setting a boundary anymore."
"I stopped people-pleasing."
"My marriage feels calmer."
"I finally feel like I'm steering my own life."
The shift isn't dramatic. It's stable. You don't feel like a new person. You feel like yourself.
“I’ve listened to Michelle’s podcast for years, but everything changed when I started applying her tools. For the first time, I could actually catch myself before reacting. The ‘three chairs’ idea clicked — I could see when I was in my Adolescent Chair and how to come back to my Adult. My relationships feel calmer, and I finally feel like I’m steering my own life again.”
— Susan, Collective Member
“I thought I understood boundaries until I joined The Collective. Michelle doesn’t just teach concepts, she shows you how to live them in real conversations and everyday moments. I’ve stopped people-pleasing, started saying what I really mean, and my marriage feels lighter. Her work gave me language for things I could never explain before.”
— Angela, Collective Member
“Working with Michelle live was life-changing. She creates a space where you actually feel safe enough to face yourself. I walked away knowing how to handle triggers with compassion instead of shame. I use her tools every single day — they’ve completely changed how I show up as a mom, wife, and woman.”
— Karen, Collective Member
You Are in the Right Place If Any of This Sounds Familiar
You rehearse exactly what you want to say. Then someone looks at you. And you stay quiet. And you spend
the next three hours furious at yourself for staying quiet again
You see a name on your phone and your whole body tightens before you even answer.
You say yes. You always say yes. And then you lie awake replaying the moment you said it.
You've had the breakthrough. You felt the shift. And then Tuesday happened and you were right back in the
same reaction.
And Sunday night still feels like dread.
And the boundary still doesn't hold.
And the voice in your head is still meaner to you than you'd ever be to anyone else.

You sense a truer version of yourself waiting to be remembered
You want passive content to consume
You avoid looking at your patterns
You're looking for quick hacks

About Michelle Chalfant
I Built The Adult Chair® Because I Needed It Myself.
After 25 years as a licensed therapist, I saw the same pattern: people who understood their lives could not change them. The gap between knowing and becoming was costing them everything.
So I created a methodology that bridges simple psychology with grounded spirituality — real transformation, in the body, in daily life.
I believe I am a bridge between the psychology that explains your patterns and the deeper truth of who you have always been. My work is not about fixing you. It is about helping you remember yourself.
