  • In this episode, weā€™re exploring the world of high-functioning codependency with our guest, Terri Cole. This isn't your typical chat about codependency; Terri's giving it a fresh spin, especially for those of us who juggle a million things and still find time to care a little too much about everyone else's problems.

    Terri breaks down how high-functioning codependents ā€” often the go-getters and perfectionists among us ā€” end up sacrificing their own well-being. Sound familiar? We get into the nitty-gritty of societal norms, early family expectations, and how these can set the stage for burnout. But luckily, Terri has strategies to help us break free from these patterns and set healthy boundaries.

    Terri shares how to foster real connections without feeling like you have to manage everyone else's life. If youā€™re ready to transform your relationships and reclaim your personal freedom, you wonā€™t want to miss this chat.

    In this episode, you will hear: The origins and societal pressures contributing to high-functioning codependency. Strategies for overcoming self-abandonment and shifting from external validation to internal peace. The importance of setting boundaries and recognizing unhealthy patterns in relationships. The difference between guilt and shame and the impact of societal upbringing on codependency. Resources for fostering genuine connections and achieving personal freedom. Resources from this Episode

  • Have you ever felt stuck in life, like you dislike where you are but think you have no other options?

    This is one of my least favorite places to be (and Iā€™ve been there many times). Being unhappy feels bad enoughā€¦but what truly feels terrible is thinking thereā€™s no way out.

    And when we believe thereā€™s no way out, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Thatā€™s because itā€™s not our circumstances that keep us stuck, but our thoughts and beliefs. Stuck thoughts lead to stuck energy, which paralyzes us.

    To get unstuck, we have to interrupt this thought pattern and shift our energy so we can move forward!

    In this episode, Iā€™m giving you six of my favorite ways to do that. These are the tools I turn to when Iā€™m feeling stuckā€¦and if you know me, you know I like things that I can start applying right away. So, if youā€™re ready to get unstuck and start seeing transformation TODAY, this is the show for you!

    Listen to Discover:

    6 practical tools to get unstuck

    The power of acceptance

    How to manifest your future reality today

    Why complaining keeps us stuck

    How to practice gratitude for true transformation

    Why journaling is such a powerful tool for moving energy

    The #1 way to change your life

    Iā€™ve realized over the years that the way we change our lives is through the small choices we make every day.

    These small steps ā€“ things like gratitude, watching our thoughts, being honest with ourselves ā€“ done with consistency transform us over time.

    If youā€™re feeling stuck and discouraged, Iā€™ve been there, and I get it.

    But I KNOW you can change your life, because Iā€™ve changed mine using the tools in this episodeā€¦and if I can do it, you can too!

    Which of these tools will you choose today to start moving toward the life you want?

    ā€‹ā€‹ā€œYouā€™ve got to own whatā€™s in your life.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œAcceptance starts to move our energy out of a stuck place.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œIn order to really get unstuck and create change, youā€™ve got to get really, really clear about what you want instead.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œWe can manifest anything ā€“ anything at all. But youā€™ve got to use your mindā€¦to get out of the place that you are in.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œYour thoughts are very powerful, but the spoken word is even more powerful. When you speak about your limitations, youā€™re anchoring into your current reality your limitations.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œThink about how much energy youā€™re giving the thing that you donā€™t want anymoreā€¦We want to talk about whatā€™s coming.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œMany studies have even shown that journaling can be similar or feel similar to going to a therapist or coach. Because what happens is, when weā€™re journaling, weā€™re purging.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œLife, my friends, is a choice. What are you going to choose for yourself? Are you going to choose to go into that victim seat or are you going to choose to feel more empowered?ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œThe way we change our lives is to be intentional with all of our choices.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant

    ā€œYouā€™re the only one that can transform your life. You just have to take time and choose to put yourself first and get unstuck and change your life. You can do this.ā€ ā€“ Michelle Chalfant
