0:07.8	You're done burning out, and you're ready to lead, work, and live in a rhythm that honors
0:14.5	both your brilliance and your body. I'm your host, Michelle Grocer. I'm a trial attorney turned nervous system strategist,

0:29.1	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,
0:41.2	boundaries feel like freedom, and energy comes from within. Each week, I'll share practical
