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. What's up you guys? It's Michelle here. Welcome back to Alive and Well. It's been a fun week

And he's always said he's never going to have any other kind of dog other than a Boston Terrier,

which is fine.

Those dogs are cool.

However, I've always wanted an Australian Shepherd just because I think they look so cool

and they're so smart and they're so loyal and they're so intuitive.

And I just always wanted one.

And he was with one of our customers this week.

And they actually had an Australian shepherd show up on their doorstep that was very

pregnant.

And she wasn't microchipped.
