Are you relying on mindset alone to manage stress, or could your nervous system be the missing piece to overcoming burnout?

In this episode, we chat with Michelle Grosser, attorney, pastor, nervous system expert, and host of The Calm Mom podcast. Michelle specializes in helping high achievers manage anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout using somatic and neuroscience-based approaches. We dive into why mindset alone isn’t enough to overcome stress, and with the holiday season approaching, Michelle shares practical strategies for maintaining neurological fitness and fostering a resilient nervous system to make this season less stressful and more successful.

Tune in to learn:

• Why mindset alone can’t fully address anxiety and burnout, and how understanding your nervous system can create lasting change.
