Welcome to the Calm Mom podcast, the show for ambitious women ready to get off the Hot Mess Express.

I know you've got a lot going on. You work so hard. You're raising an incredible family.

And sometimes it can be overwhelming. I'm your host, Michelle Grocer. I'm a certified master life coach, attorney,

wife, and mom. And years ago, I was right where you are. I was running a busy law practice

while raising a family, and I was on the fast track to burnout. I thought I just needed to be more

organized or have better routines, but it was learning

how to heal and regulate my nervous system that expand in my capacity to gracefully hold more

of this big, beautiful life.

You too are worthy of an extraordinary life in and beyond motherhood.

Learning to be a calm, anchoring presence in your home and at work

is going to be your superpower. If you're here to do the inner work that brings a sense of calm

amidst the chaos, I'm here to join you on that journey. Each time you press play, your growth

continues, so let's get at it.

What's up, friends? It's Michelle Grocer here. Welcome to the Calm Mom podcast.

Thanks for being with us today. I'm coming at you guys live from Houston, Texas today. We have finally made the trek from Miami to Houston, and it's been so fun. We sold our house. I've closed my law firm. We have transitioned in our ministry. And it's really been just that such a season of transition. I talk about this a lot, but Jeff and I always

choose words of the year. And this year, Jeff chose the word freedom. And I chose the word

rest. And what we found is that we've actually kind of chosen the same word, right? But just

traveling in different veins. Rest doesn't really come without freedom. And freedom brings rest,

right, with it. So as we're both pursuing rest and freedom, it has required us to really rethink almost everything,

everything in our lives, everything we were doing, our ways of being, our mindsets, just so many

things. And part of that was just our pace. Our pace was not one of rest. Our pace was not one of freedom. So we just got

kind of radical and sold our house and left Miami. We got in a car with our kids and our dogs.
