I'm thrilled to introduce Michelle Grosser, a powerhouse former trial lawyer, law professor, and a mom of two, with a story so many of us can relate to: outward success paired with hidden exhaustion and stress. She seemed to be managing it all until her body and mind hit their limits.

Today, she's a nervous system strategist and the host of the Alive and Well podcast, who helps high-achieving women build burnout-proof lives. She'll guide you through science-backed strategies and simple, impactful daily habits that you can start using right away to break free from chronic stress and reclaim mental wellness. Together, we'll bust the cultural myths about success and perfection, and explore ways to create more energy, presence, and joy in our lives.

If you crave a fuller, healthier chapter and practical, empowering tools to support a vibrant, resilient life, join us for this energizing, wisdom-packed conversation.
