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

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

mindset trick. It's not a productivity little thing. It's not this like motivational push. I'm giving

you a physiological shift. It's the kind of thing that really expands your capacity because it works

with your nervous system.

So before we jump in, if you're listening to this in real time, it's Black Friday.

And that means that honor your energy, which is my brand new seven day nervous system
