  • 382 - Overwhelmed, On Edge, or Shut Down? Try This Somatic Reset to Feel Regulated Again
    Aug 19 2025

    Today is about experiencing.

    Instead of more theory, I’m guiding you through a live somatic reset so you can actually feel what nervous system regulation is like in your body.

    If you’ve been running on empty, stuck in go-mode, or caught in cycles of anxiety, irritability, or shut-down, this is your chance to pause, soften, and reconnect.

    We’ll explore together:
    ✔️ Why dysregulation can start to feel “normal” — and even productive
    ✔️ The key differences between survival mode and true ease
    ✔️ What regulation looks and feels like in your body, emotions, and relationships
    ✔️ A simple guided practice you can use anytime to shift back into balance

    This episode is designed to give you a felt sense of what’s possible when your nervous system is at ease.

    And if you want to go deeper, this is exactly the kind of work we’ll be doing together inside my free workshop, From On Edge to At Ease, on Tuesday, August 26.

  • 381 - Is People-Pleasing Fueling Your Burnout? Signs, Science, and How to Break the Cycle with Erica Rooney
    Aug 15 2025

    Register at michellegrosser.com/workshop


    People-pleasing isn’t just draining — it’s a full-on energy thief and a silent barrier to your power

    In this episode, I’m talking with Erica Rooney, who brings over 15 years of insight into how people-pleasing shapes our professional and personal lives — often in ways we don’t realize.

    Erica’s approach is all about realigning your career and life with your core values so you can stop bending over backwards and start showing up as your full, vibrant self.

    We’re unpacking:
    ✔️ How people-pleasing fuels that low-grade stress and negative emotions you can’t shake
    ✔️ The hidden ways it sabotages your career, leadership, and workplace well-being
    ✔️ Why people-pleasing is more than a “bad habit” — it’s a nervous system pattern begging for healing
    ✔️ Steps to reclaim your boundaries, confidence, and authentic voice
    ✔️ How to move from seeking approval to owning your worth in all areas of life

    If you’re tired of the exhausting cycle of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations and craving freedom to lead with courage and gentleness, this episode is your wake-up call.

    🎧 Press play to start healing the people-pleaser inside you and expand into the bold, embodied leader you’re meant to be.

    Join me live on Tuesday, August 26 for a free, nervous-system-based experience to help you finally feel the shift your mindset work couldn’t create.

  • 380 - The #1 Reason Why You Can’t Mindset Your Way Out of Burnout
    Aug 12 2025

    If you’ve ever tried to “positive-think” your way out of burnout — only to still feel edgy, exhausted, or emotionally flat — you’re not alone.

    In today’s episode, we’re unpacking why mindset work often falls short when it comes to real burnout recovery — and what your body actually needs instead.

    You’ll learn:

    • The neuroscience of why mindset tools don’t always land when you’re dysregulated
    • Why your body overrides your best intentions
    • The difference between insight and integration
    • What it actually takes to create sustainable shifts in how you feel and function

    We’ll also talk about the role of somatic tools, how they work, and why this is the foundation of my upcoming workshop, From On Edge to At Ease.

    Join me live on Tuesday, August 26 for a free, nervous-system-based experience to help you finally feel the shift your mindset work couldn’t create.
