Have you ever found yourself reaching for that extra slice of bread or indulging in a snack just an hour after lunch, even though you're not really hungry? Itâs a common struggle, one that often feels like an uncontrollable urge, driven by something deeper than physical hunger. But what if those impulses were more than just bad habits or weak willpower? What if they were signals from different parts of ourselves, parts that need attention and care?
In todayâs episode, we explore how identifying these underlying emotional triggers can transform the way we approach food and decision-making. By learning to pause, check in with ourselves, and ask, âWhoâs really hungry?â we can begin to make choices from a place of empowerment rather than compulsion. Join us as our guest, Michelle dives into the life-changing practice of mindful self-awareness and parts work to regain control over our choices.
Michelle Chalfant has a masterâs in counseling and she opened a private practice, wanting solutions for her own challenges and helping others going through the same thing. But as she practiced, she felt something was still missing.
So, she allowed her curiosity to lead her to amazing mentors, books, classes and methods across spirituality and psychology. Her training includes energy medicine, meridian therapy, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), PSYCH-K, chakra balancing, meditation, intuition, and yoga. And finally, while studying under very wise teachers, she developed The Adult Chair model, which has helped thousands of people gain awareness, freedom and discover their truest selves.
Today, she's combined 25 years of seeking and studying to give her clients a roadmap for a happy, peaceful and powerful life. Her practical tools and integrated, experiential approach will help one uncover and heal old wounds, remove one's mask and guide one toward his most authentic self â which will lead to better relationships, reduced stress and true happiness and joy.
"What I see that happens with people more than anything is they become what I call soul aligned. They start tapping into and touching into, and even prior to this coaching program, they start touching and tapping into their divine purpose." - Michelle Chalfant

Have you ever wondered why so many women struggle to find lasting fulfillment, even when they seem to be doing everything right? Despite investing in themselves and their careers, many still feel disconnected, stuck, or afraid to fully embrace their desires. Theyâve been conditioned to avoid discomfort, unknowingly holding back from true transformation. The result is a life lived half-heartedly, where joy feels out of reach.
Jessica, our guest, understands this struggle all too well. After years of trauma and healing, she discovered that real joy can only be experienced when we lean into temporary pain. By avoiding these difficult emotions, women miss the opportunity for growth and empowerment. The fear of discomfort keeps them from realizing their full potential, both personally and professionally.
The key to unlocking lasting transformation lies in embracing vulnerability, confronting limiting beliefs, and allowing pain to flow through. Jessica shares how this courageous process allowed her to achieve new heights in her business and life. Today, sheâs on a mission to help other women experience the same transformation by creating a safe space for connection, growth, and expansion.
Jessica Papineau has spent 25 years in the fashion industry, teaching women how to use fashion to serve their purpose, boost their confidence, and elevate their image. She has styled hundreds of women, from moms struggling to dress their postpartum bodies, to businesswomen seeking to level up in their careers, to seven-figure entrepreneurs, executives for billion-dollar global brands, online influencers with millions of followers, and professionals in the entertainment, sports, and music industries. A thought leader in fashion styling, her insights have been featured in various print publications and media outlets. She regularly partners with nonprofit organizations such as the Tidewell Foundation and SPARCC to donate high-end clothes and provide hope to people in need.
In this episode, Jessica shares how leaning into temporary pain allowed her to experience true joy and personal transformation. She emphasizes that facing discomfort head-on helps overcome self-limiting beliefs and fosters growth. By embracing her fears she discovered the power and confidence to perform at her best.
"The woman that says I'm gonna do it when..., they don't take the action first. So then what happens is nothing changes. And then when they do end up making the change, they make the change because they were literally brought to their knees. But what if we get curious and start to make those changes and take those actions before we actually felt ready to do so? How can that start transforming our lives now as opposed to waiting until we feel ready?" - Jessica Papineau
What you will learn from this episode:
03:42 - Sharing a deeply personal and inspiring story of her journey from a humble, unconventional upbringing to becoming a stylist and empowering women
18:40 - Rediscovering her passion and building a successful business of empowering women to focus on their best features rather than what they dislike

"And not to say that everybody experiences this, but one in three women here in the UK find that these are debilitating symptoms[perimenopause] and it has an impact outside of the home, but also of course in the home and then in relationships. I feel that we are made aware and we are prepared so that we know how we can best support ourselves and those around us." - Torild Boe

Why do millions of people embark on weight loss journeys each year, only to find themselves back where they startedâor worse offâwithin months? Itâs a vicious cycle: the initial thrill of dropping pounds, the dopamine rush of seeing the scale go down, followed by the inevitable slip-up, emotional eating, and weight regain. Why does this keep happening? The weight loss industry rakes in billions of dollars by selling quick fixes and diet plans, yet 95% of people gain the weight back.
The problem isn't your lack of willpower, self-discipline, or even your metabolism. Itâs not even the diets themselves. The real issue lies beneath the surface: an unaddressed emotional and psychological struggle that no diet can fix.
In this episode, weâll uncover the biggest lie the weight loss industry doesnât want you to know and explore a holistic, sustainable approach to breaking free from the cycle of yo-yo dieting and finding true, lasting freedom with your body and food."The weight loss industry does not want you to know this. They want you to keep giving them money. Weight Watchers knows that people come back year after year. They wait for you to come back year after year. They give you promotions to make it easy for you to come back year after year. They got scared when people found the ozempic and the GLP-1 drugs and now they've added that in because they're not caring about the business. They're not caring about you actually healing what's at the root." - Leslie Thornton
What you will learn from this episode:
00:39 - Leslie sharing her journey into overcoming the exhausting cycle of dieting and obsession with food and body image
06:15 - Explaining the unresolved emotional and psychological triggers that cause food issues using a metaphor of a lake
14:16 - Highlighting how true freedom from a vicious cycle comes from developing emotional mastery and not relying on food or diets
19:34 - How it is not a weight problem but an emotional problem and introducing the 'Fast Track to Freedom' program that helps people develop the tools to manage their emotions and change their thinking
25:01 - Sharing how many of her clients have expressed regret about not discovering her approach earlier emphasizing the transformative potential of what she advocates

It's a common dilemma, especially in high-pressure careers where perfectionism often takes the reins. Many of us find themselves held back by the fear of making mistakes or failing, leading to feelings of regret and unfulfilled potential.

The constant pressure to meet expectations can result in a life of missed opportunities and unfulfilled dreams, leaving many to wonder, "What if?"
But what if embracing imperfection and tackling fears one step at a time could lead to a life of fulfillment and happiness?

Many individuals find themselves caught in a vicious cycle of dieting, emotional eating, and self-judgment, leading to a constant mental obsession with food and weight. This relentless battle not only impacts physical health but also takes a significant toll on emotional well-being and self-esteem.
As this struggle intensifies, traditional methods of weight loss often fall short, leaving people feeling frustrated and defeated. Countless diets and exercise plans promise quick fixes but fail to address the underlying psychological and emotional factors that contribute to unhealthy eating habits and body dissatisfaction. This creates a sense of hopelessness and disillusionment, making sustainable change seem unattainable.
However, with Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss (HPWL) and the exciting advancements in the program there is hope. With its HEAL method and by incorporating cutting-edge techniques from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and a focus on aligned and authentic action, the HPWL Program offers a holistic approach to overcoming the mental obsession with food, body, and weight. This transformative program empowers individuals to heal their emotional wounds, discover their true selves, and create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that feels natural and fulfilling.
"This podcast is going to talk about the advancements that I've made, but sometimes clients in the beginning don't feel comfortable with it. They don't like it because it's like, how is this going to actually cause me to lose weight? But it's like there needs to be this period of time where you are actually playing with no rules, permission to eat, knowing how you feel after.

Navigating the complexities of diet mentality versus food freedom is not merely about what we eat, but how we think and feel about food. The restrictive nature of traditional dieting often pushes one in a cycle of guilt and perfectionism, overshadowing the potential for true emotional and mental freedom. On the other hand, embracing food freedom involves redefining our relationship with food, fostering a mindset of self-acceptance, and understanding our body's genuine needs. Through the application of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and other therapeutic techniques, individuals can transcend ingrained diet mentalities, allowing for personal growth and a healthier, more holistic approach to well-being. Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss Fast Track to Freedom encapsulates this belief.
The journey towards inner peace and emotional freedom in relation to food has far-reaching impacts beyond mere weight loss. It influences every aspect of life, from professional achievements to personal relationships and overall mental health. By adopting a growth mindset and shedding black-and-white thinking, individuals can experience a profound transformation. Programs focusing on these areas provide invaluable support, offering tools to conquer limiting beliefs and cultivate a vibrant, self-expressed life. Taking decisive action towards this inner work not only enhances one's well-being but also positively affects those around you, creating a ripple effect of health and lasting happiness.
"You can't take your personal life out of your food freedom because oftentimes the reason that we snap back into diet mentality over and over again and have bad body image issues and all the mental obsession is because it's emotional and it's usually actually triggered by other emotional things going on in the background that we just may not be fully present to." - Leslie Thornton

Despite the countless diets and weight loss plans, the mental and emotional turmoil associated with food and body image remains unresolved for many. The real issue lies not in the food itself but in the deeper, often hidden emotional and psychological wounds that drive unhealthy eating behaviors.

Have you ever found yourself caught in a cycle of on and off dieting, perpetually striving for weight loss only to be met with frustration and disappointment? This struggle, familiar to many, often stems from deeper emotional issues that go unaddressed. The constant battle with food, body image, and weight can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and self-hatred, trapping individuals in an endless loop of fleeting diets and temporary fixes.
The real problem lies not in the diets themselves, but in the underlying emotional turmoil that drives these behaviors. To break free from this cycle, it's essential to shift focus from external goals to inner healing and self-awareness. By understanding and aligning with our true desires and addressing the root emotional causes, we can achieve lasting peace and fulfillment in our relationship with food and our bodies.
Hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) offer powerful tools to help individuals tap into their inner truth, manage their emotional states, and ultimately transform their approach to health and well-being.
"You will always be a yo-yo dieter if you do not actually pay attention and heal stuff. That anger, self-hatred, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, shame, that's just hanging around there. That's the emotion that's causing you to eat. That's the emotion that causes you to binge eat. So it's like tackling that and you're creating spaciousness in your body." - Leslie Thornton
What you will learn from this episode:
00:01 - Addressing the common struggle of staying accountable to oneself despite being a person of high integrity who holds others to their word

25:12 - Focusing on what genuinely brings you peace and happiness instead of being driven by ego or societal expectations
29:42 - Understand and accept your current state rather than constantly shifting between different diets and approaches
34:22 - Recognizing and addressing underlying emotional issues rather than just focusing on external goals or diets

Are you tired of the short-term results from personal trainers and nutritionists? Do you find yourself sliding back into old habits despite rigorous workout routines and carefully planned diets? The problem isn't with your effort or commitment; it's that traditional approaches often focus solely on external changes without addressing the internal struggles that drive your behaviors.
Imagine spending hours at the gym and meticulously counting calories, only to be derailed by emotional triggers that lead to overeating or unhealthy food choices. It's frustrating and disheartening, leaving you feeling like a failure, stuck in a cycle that seems impossible to break. These external solutions, while beneficial, don't equip you with the tools to manage the emotional and psychological aspects of your relationship with food.
This is where Hypnosis and emotional mastery come in as game-changers. Unlike traditional methods, the Hypnosis program dives deep into the root causes of your eating habits. By addressing emotional triggers and developing a strong, resilient mindset, you'll achieve lasting freedom from food-related stress and guilt. This holistic approach not only transforms your eating behaviors but also enhances your overall emotional well-being, leading to sustainable, life-long results.
Today, we'll be exploring the differences between Hypnosis for permanent weight loss and more conventional approaches like hiring a personal trainer or nutritionist. Inspired by insights shared by a client who recently completed her eight-week Hypnosis program, we'll uncover why Hypnosis isn't just about shedding pounds but also about transforming your relationship with food, body, and self. Let's explore a new path to lasting change and emotional mastery.
"If you're someone who feels guilty, shameful, upset, fearful around any topic, food, body and weight, going to the doctor and stepping on the scale-- any of that. If any of that emotionally upsets you, then using a nutritionist or a personal trainer will help you get the results short term. It will not get you to live a life in full color." - Leslie Thornton

01:01 - highlighting a client experience on the differences between hiring a fitness coach, personal trainer, nutritionist, and using hypnosis for weight loss
04:13 - Hypnosis' weight loss approach on internal changes and self-empowerment versus rigid diet and exercise regimen

The quest for love often intersects with the pursuit of physical perfection. Many of us, driven by societal pressures, find ourselves obsessively focused on weight loss as a means to attract the ideal partner. This fixation, however, can lead to a cycle of anxiety and disconnection from one's authentic self, ultimately hindering the very goal we seek to achieve. Despite rigorous dieting and weight loss efforts, the desired deep, meaningful relationships often remain elusive, leading to frustration and self-doubt.
This struggle is magnified by the belief that physical appearance is the sole determinant of attractiveness and compatibility. People frequently ignore the deeper, more intrinsic factors that foster genuine connections. The constant worry about weight and diet not only disrupts one's emotional well-being but also diminishes the ability to be present and authentically engaged in relationships. This preoccupation hinders energy, intuition, and emotional expressionâkey elements that contribute to a vibrant and attractive persona.
However, the solution lies not in relentless dieting, but in undertaking a profound journey of self-discovery and inner healing. By shifting the focus from external validation to internal alignment, individuals can unlock their true selves and, in turn, attract partners who appreciate them for who they genuinely are. Embracing this holistic approach to weight loss and self-acceptance paves the way for authentic relationships.
In this episode, Leslie delves into this transformative process of healing by way of Hypnosis. Through Leslie's personal anecdotes and practical advice she highlights how embracing one's authentic self, including their natural body shape and eating habits, can lead to both permanent weight loss and the attraction of a truly compatible, loving partner. This journey, though challenging, ultimately empowers individuals to cultivate deeper connections and live fulfilling lives, free from the constraints of societal expectations.
"If you master understanding your triggers and what upsets you and what creates emotion, you're going to master your life. Like you're going to master relationships because relationships have lots of emotions involved." - Leslie Thornton

It's easy to be tempted with the allure of fast weight loss and the enticing thought of achieving the perfect body. But in a world saturated with restrictive diets promising quick fixes and miraculous transformations, it's essential to pause and consider the long-term implications of such approaches. Such drastic actions often overshadow the detrimental effects of these restrictive regimens.
As highlighted by Leslie's own experience, including those who have gone through this treacherous path of dieting themselves, restrictive diets often breed a sense of disempowerment and foster a toxic relationship with food. This relentless pursuit of perfection leaves no room for mistakes, thus promoting feelings of inadequacy and failure. Thereby sending one to be in a state of desperation. And that is never life changing.
However, there exists an alternative pathâone that prioritizes holistic well-being and sustainable change over fleeting results. This alternative avenue is exemplified by practices such as Hypnosis for permanent weight loss.
Hypnosis offers a unique approach to addressing the underlying issues that contribute to disordered eating habits. By delving into the subconscious mind, Hypnosis helps individuals unlock the barriers that impede their progress towards lasting change. Unlike restrictive diets, which focus solely on external factors like calorie count and food restriction, Hypnosis delves deeper, addressing the root causes of unhealthy behaviors.
The efficacy of Hypnosis lies not only in its ability to raise awareness but also in its promotion of self-trust and empowerment. You will learn to listen to your body, make informed choices, and cultivate a positive relationship with food.
While restrictive diets may offer temporary results, they often come at a significant cost to mental and emotional well-being. By embracing alternative approaches like Hypnosis for permanent weight loss, individuals can embark on a journey towards sustainable change, reclaiming your freedom, lasting happiness, and fostering a newfound sense of balance and harmony with food and your body.
Let's dive deep into this episode and explore how we can completely get away from all the negative self-talk and fully embrace authenticity and life mastery.
