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, welcome back to Alive and Well. It's Michelle here on the show today.

We're talking about, you know, those moments where you can't quite put your finger on why you're feeling either annoyed or edgy or disconnected or carrying tension that just won't let go.

And maybe it's showing up in your marriage.

Maybe it's showing up in your friendships.

Maybe you just want to withdraw or you can't even think of the last time that you hung out

with one of your friends.

Maybe it's in parenting or maybe it's just that constant hum of stress in the background.

I think a lot of us don't really realize that so much of this traces back to our attachment

styles. It's that kind of like invisible

blueprint that's formed when we're babies in our earliest relationships, how we attach to our

caregivers that's still having an impact. It's still shaping on how we connect and how we

cope and how we care for ourselves today.

And my guest on the show today is Jessica Baum.
