Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World with Michelle & Scott

Episode 321 - “The Exhaustion of Always Explaining Yourself”Have you ever felt like you're constantly explaining, clarifying, or defending yourself just to be understood? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the emotional exhaustion that comes from over-explaining—why so many of us feel the need to justify our choices, boundaries, and feelings, and how the fear of being misunderstood can quietly wear us down. A conversation about self-trust, people pleasing, and learning that not everything about you requires an explanation.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 320 - “The Loneliness of Being Emotionally Self-Aware”What happens when you've done the work… but the people around you haven't? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the often-overlooked loneliness that can come with emotional self-awareness. The experience of recognizing patterns, understanding your reactions, and striving for growth—while feeling disconnected from others who may not see the same things you do. They talk about emotional labor, relationship mismatches, outgrowing old dynamics, and the quiet isolation that can arise when your inner world changes before your outer world does. This isn't about being better than anyone else. It's about understanding the challenges that can come with growth—and finding ways to stay connected without abandoning yourself.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 319 - “Stop Pretending You Like Brussels Sprouts: The Hard Skill of Saying What You Need”How often do we say “it’s fine” when it really isn’t? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the quiet ways people disconnect from their own needs, preferences, and feelings in order to avoid conflict, disappointment, or discomfort. From pretending to like things we don’t… to minimizing what we actually need… many of us learn that being easygoing feels safer than being honest. They talk about people pleasing, emotional self-editing, the fear of seeming “difficult,” and why expressing even small preferences can feel surprisingly vulnerable. This isn’t about becoming demanding. It’s about reconnecting with your own honest experience—and learning how to express it without apology.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 318 - “Book Review: Jonathan Livingston Seagull”In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore Jonathan Livingston Seagull—the timeless story about individuality, purpose, freedom, and the desire to become something more than what the world expects of you. They talk about why this simple allegorical tale continues to resonate so deeply, what it says about identity and self-discovery, and how its themes of growth, belonging, and transcendence still feel relevant today. More than a book review, this episode becomes a conversation about the courage to pursue meaning—even when it separates you from the crowd.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 317 - “Ending Things Well”Not every ending has to become a disaster to matter deeply. Some endings arrive quietly. A relationship changes. A chapter closes. A role, routine, or version of life comes to an end. And often, what stays with us most is not just that something ended… but how it ended. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the emotional complexity of endings—why they affect us so deeply, why people often avoid them or handle them poorly, and what it means to bring honesty, care, and clarity into the closing of something meaningful. This isn’t about making endings painless. It’s about understanding that closure is less about perfection… and more about the way we leave each other when something can no longer continue.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 316 - “Why Advice Rarely Helps (Even When It’s Good Advice)”Sometimes people give us genuinely good advice… and we still can’t take it. Not because we’re stubborn. Not because we don’t understand it. But because insight and readiness are not always the same thing. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore why advice often fails to create real change—even when it’s thoughtful, accurate, and well-intentioned. They talk about timing, emotional readiness, nervous system resistance, and the difference between intellectually knowing something and being able to live it. This isn’t about rejecting advice. It’s about understanding why change is often more emotional than logical—and why people usually move when they’re finally ready, not simply when they’ve been told what to do.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 315 - “Highly Sensitive People -- People Who Feel Too Much in a World That Feels Too Loud”Some people move through the world with their emotional volume turned all the way up. They notice subtle shifts. They absorb tension in a room. They feel deeply, think deeply, and often become overwhelmed by environments that others seem to navigate easily. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore what it means to be a highly sensitive person in a world that often rewards numbness, speed, and constant stimulation. They talk about emotional intensity, overstimulation, empathy, nervous system sensitivity, and the quiet exhaustion that can come from feeling “too much” for too long. This isn’t about labeling sensitivity as weakness. It’s about understanding it differently—and learning how sensitivity can become something to work with rather than something to hide from.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 314 - “The Body Keeps Score - Your Nervous System Remembers Things Your Brain Forgot”Sometimes your reactions don’t seem to match the moment. A tone of voice feels overwhelming. A small situation creates a big emotional response. Your body tightens before your mind even understands why. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore how the nervous system stores experiences long after the conscious mind has moved on—and why the body often remembers what the brain no longer actively thinks about. They talk about emotional memory, stress responses, and the ways past experiences can quietly shape present reactions without us realizing it. This isn’t about diagnosing or pathologizing yourself. It’s about understanding why certain moments feel bigger than they “should”—and learning to approach those reactions with more awareness, curiosity, and compassion.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 313 - “Why 'We Need to Talk”'Feels Like a Threat”Few phrases shift the mood faster than “we need to talk.” In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore why those four words can feel so loaded—even when nothing is wrong. How the nervous system reads them as danger, how past experiences shape our reactions, and why anticipation often creates more anxiety than the conversation itself. This isn’t about avoiding hard conversations. It’s about understanding what’s happening underneath the tension—so those moments feel less like a threat and more like an opportunity to connect.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com
