Let’s talk about adulting— actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant , licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life . With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she’s here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here’s the truth: being an adult isn’t about checking boxes or pretending you’re fine. It’s about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It’s about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they’re clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it’s never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you’re starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

Datatopics is a podcast presented by Kevin Missoorten to talk about the fuzzy and misunderstood concepts in the world of data, analytics, and AI. In this second episode of a mini-series on AI Ethics, we zoom in on the role of regulation and legislation to ensure AI remains ethical, addressing complex questions such as:

What is the role of legislation with regard to AI Ethics? Aren’t we going to make things more complex and slow down development?
Is legislation not lagging behind? And how do we reconcile all the regional variations?
The unexpected benefits of creating a “technical person” as a new form of "legal person".

In this episode, Virginie, Tim, Rob Heyman and I tackle these and many more questions with the expert in the room Jan de Bruyne!
