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, you guys, welcome back to Alive and Well. It's Michelle here. Welcome. All right. It's so good to be with you.

If you guys are anything like me, you may not even have identified yourself as someone who

feels anger or experiences anger all that often.

I know I talk about this a lot, but for the longest time, before I had kids,

and before I really started doing this work and studying and learning about the nervous

system, can I just tell you guys, and it's kind of embarrassing to say, but the truth is

that I kind of prided myself on being super chill, right? I was like, I don't yell,

like my husband and I don't yell at each other. I don't have these outbursts. I don't really snap.

I don't, I'm not like one of those emotional women, right? I don't really cry at movies or cry
