On paper? You’re crushing it.
But your body’s telling a different story: fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and a burnout you just can’t seem to shake.
Welcome to Alive & Well—the podcast for high-achieving women ready to burnout-proof their lives by rewiring their nervous system for clarity, energy, productivity, and ease.
I’m your host, Michelle Grosser, Esq.—trial attorney turned nervous system strategist, wife, mom, and entrepreneur (x3).
After burning out hard trying to do it all, I discovered the missing piece: nervous system regulation.
Now I help ambitious, high-capacity women like you build a life that’s sustainable and successful—where your nervous system becomes your superpower, not your saboteur.
