Welcome to Alive and Well, the podcast for the new era of high achievers.

You're done burning out and you're ready to lead, work, and live in a rhythm that honors both

your brilliance and your body. I'm your host, Michelle Grocer. I'm a trial attorney turned nervous system strategist,

and I've lived the burnout story. I know what it's like to chase your goals at the expense of

your well-being. And I also know it doesn't have to be that way. Here, we're redefining success. It's where productivity feels peaceful,

boundaries feel like freedom, and energy comes from within. Each week, I'll share practical

tools for nervous system regulation, time mastery, and somatic strategies so you can show up with clarity,

calm, and confidence in every part of your life. Because you, my friend, were given a spirit

of power, love, and a sound mind. So here's to life and living it fully. This is the path to feeling alive and

well. Let's dive in. Hey guys, Michelle here. If you are listening to this in real time,

happy 4th of July. Today's episode is all about bravery, the science of bravery.

And maybe you've noticed that bravery isn't really about feeling fearless, but so much

more about doing the hard thing anyway, right?

Even when your palms are sweaty, even when your brain is begging to binge Netflix instead.

And today's guest is here to show us what it

actually means to lead ourselves bravely from the inside out. So we're going to talk

mindset shifts, bold action, and the kinds of relationships that pull us forward instead of

drain is dry. So if you've ever wondered how you can show up more powerfully in the face of a challenge,

this one is for you.

Our guest today is Jill Schulman.

She is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

She's a leadership coach.
