    High Capacity – Nervous System Regulation, Stress Management, Burnout Recovery, Somatic Tools, Anxiety, Boundaries, Overwhelm

    You’ve built a full life. The career, the family, the responsibilities, the goals — all of it. 

    And the fuller it gets, the more stretched thin you feel.

    Not because you lack the discipline or drive to figure it out.

    But because your nervous system was never upgraded to match the life you’ve built. 

    High Capacity is the podcast for ambitious women who are done just managing their stress and are ready to actually expand what they can hold. 

    Hosted by trial attorney turned nervous system strategist Michelle Grosser, each episode unpacks the nervous system science behind why you feel maxed out, reactive, and depleted — and gives you real tools to expand your capacity across every area of your life.

    This isn’t just about doing less. 

    It’s about becoming someone whose nervous system can hold more — more joy, more presence, more of the life you’ve worked hard to build, and more of the demands that come with it — without the low-grade stress that’s become your new normal.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    – How to expand your emotional, stress, physical, relational, and joy capacity

    – Nervous system-based tools that work in real life, in real time

    – How to identify your Capacity Pattern — the specific strategy your nervous system defaults to when you’re overwhelmed — and what it means for your stress, your relationships, and your daily life

    New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.

    Tuesdays bring the nervous system science and tools.

    Hi-Cap Fridays give you one practical move to expand your capacity in the week ahead.

    308 - Burnout Recovery Blueprint (Part 1): The Missing Link to Finally Feeling Better Dec 10, 2024
    Show notes

    Exhaustion, overwhelm, and that constant edge? They all trace back to one key factor.

    Here’s the thing: burnout recovery isn’t about bubble baths, wine nights, or slapping a cute affirmation on your vision board.

    It’s about getting to the root of what’s got you stuck—and spoiler alert—it’s not your productivity skills or lack of willpower.

    In Part 1 of this 3-part series, we’re diving into the missing link to burnout recovery: your nervous system.

    Turns out, most of those burnout symptoms—like exhaustion, overwhelm, and that “I can’t even” feeling—stem from a dysregulated nervous system stuck in survival mode.
    Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

    • 💡 Why burnout isn’t just about being “too busy” (hint: it’s deeper than that).
    • 🧠 How chronic stress rewires your nervous system—and not in a good way.
    • 🎒 The “backpack of stress rocks” analogy you’ll never forget and how it’s affecting your energy, focus, and mood.
    • ✨ The lightbulb moment: Why regulating your nervous system is the game-changer you’ve been looking for.

    Show notes

    Let’s talk about perfectionism. You know, that voice in your head that tells you, “If you can’t do it perfectly, why bother doing it at all?”
    It’s the same voice that has you procrastinating on that new habit or beating yourself up for falling short (again).
    Spoiler alert: that 'all or nothing' mindset is keeping you feeling stuck.
    In this episode, I’m joined by Monica Packer, an expert in creating sustainable systems for high-achieving women who feel like they’re always falling short. With years of experience helping women shift from self-criticism to self-compassion, she’s here to unpack why women must approach habits differently, how to reframe failure, and practical tools to create habits that stick—even when life feels overwhelming.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    • The top 3 keys to creating consistent habits, even when you’re busy or exhausted.
    • The sneaky ways procrastination shows up in your life and keeps you stuck.
    • The real reason you’re struggling with habits (hint: it’s not you!) and how to break the cycle of failure.


    If you’ve ever felt like habit-building is just another thing to check off an already-overwhelming list, this conversation will change the way you think about progress.
    Monica’s tips will help you ditch the guilt, simplify your systems, and start creating habits that work for your real, messy, beautiful life.

    • Simple, science-backed tools to start regulating your nervous system and reclaiming some much-needed calm.

    305 - The Lie of Work-Life Balance and Other Myths of Motherhood with Dr. Jody Carrington Nov 29, 2024
    Show notes

    Work-life balance: is it an actual thing, or just a myth designed to make us feel like we’re failing at everything? Spoiler alert: it’s probably the latter.

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jody Carrington—psychologist, speaker, author, and the human equivalent of a warm, no-BS pep talk. Dr. Jody brings two decades of experience working with kids, families, and communities, and she’s here to unpack the real reason we’re all feeling stretched too thin: we’re disconnected.

    Dr. Jody’s philosophy is simple but powerful: when we truly *see* and acknowledge each other, everything shifts. Whether it’s parenting struggles, work stress, or that recurring argument about who forgot to defrost the turkey, reconnection is the key to building resilience, easing burnout, and finding a little more joy in the chaos.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • Why work-life balance is a lie and what we actually need to thrive.
    • How to regulate your emotions so you can respond instead of snapping at your partner (or your kids).
    • Practical parenting tips to strengthen your connection with your little humans.


    This isn’t another episode about doing *more*. It’s about meaningful connection—the kind that actually makes life feel better.
