Episode 300 - "Begin Again: The Psychology of Fresh Starts"Fresh starts are often misunderstood. They don't usually arrive with clarity, confidence, or a clean slate—they arrive after fatigue, disappointment, and change. In this milestone episode, Michelle and Scott explore the psychology of beginning again: why starting over can feel harder than continuing, how the brain resists new beginnings even when we crave them, and why real change rarely starts with motivation. This is a grounded conversation about permission, not pressure—and about choosing to step forward with honesty rather than hype. If you've felt the pull to begin again, this episode offers a calmer, more compassionate way to do just that.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 299 - "Power Words: Choosing the Language That Shapes Your 2026"As the year turns, many of us rush toward resolutions that feel heavy, rigid, or doomed by February. In this episode, Michelle and Scott take a different path—one rooted in clarity, intention, and self-trust. Instead of goals, we explore power words: simple, resonant words that act as anchors for how you want to live, respond, and move through the year ahead. Words that shape your mindset, guide your choices, and help you return to yourself when life gets loud. They talk about the psychology behind why words matter, how language influences behavior and identity, and why choosing the right word can be more powerful than any to-do list. You'll then be guided through a reflective exercise to discover your own personal power word (or words) for 2026—words that feel true, spacious, and alive. No pressure. No perfection. Just intentional language for the year you're becoming.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 298 - "Rituals of Light"When the days grow shorter and the world feels heavier, many of us instinctively search for light—comfort, meaning, reassurance that we're not alone in the dark. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the timeless human practice of creating light when circumstances feel uncertain, overwhelming, or painful. Across cultures and centuries, people have marked the darkest days of the year with rituals—candles, fire, stories, gatherings—not to deny the darkness, but to coexist with it. They talk about why these rituals matter psychologically and emotionally, how they help regulate the nervous system, and how small acts of intention can restore a sense of grounding, hope, and connection when the outside world feels chaotic. This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and remember that light doesn't have to be loud to be powerful. Sometimes, it's enough to tend a small flame—within yourself and for one another.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 297 - "The Quiet Season: Finding Calm in the Noise"As the world speeds up for the holidays, your nervous system may be begging for the opposite. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the subtle, often-overlooked invitation this time of year gives us to slow down, soften our pace, and reclaim the parts of ourselves buried under busyness. They talk about the psychology of overstimulation, why your brain feels noisier in December, and how simple rituals of stillness can restore clarity, patience, and emotional presence. You'll learn how to create micro-moments of calm even when life feels loud, reconnect with grounding practices that support your nervous system, and rediscover the kind of quiet that doesn't feel lonely—but luminous. This is your permission slip to step out of the noise, breathe deeper, and let this season be not one of pressure… but of peace.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 296 - "Love Without Losing Yourself"Love can be beautiful. Love can be transformative. But sometimes — love can make us disappear. In this episode, Michelle and Scott dive into what happens when deep connection slowly shifts into self-abandonment. When caring for someone becomes caretaking . . . when partnership becomes over-merging . . . when we wake up and realize we've lost our voice, our boundaries, or the rituals that make us "us." They explore how to stay rooted in your identity while still opening your heart and talk about attachment styles, emotional enmeshment, and why “compromise” should never mean erasing yourself. You'll learn how to keep your autonomy intact, communicate needs without guilt, and build love that strengthens who you are — not just who you are to someone else. Because the healthiest relationships aren't the ones where you melt into each other . . . they're the ones where you both get to stay whole.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 295 - "When You're the Emotional Container for Everyone"Some of us don't just support others — we absorb them. We're the sounding boards, the counselors, the late-night texters, the “I'll be there” people. We're the emotional containers: the ones who catch every feeling, soothe every storm, and hold everyone else's chaos together… while quietly falling apart inside. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore what happens when you become the emotional container for everyone in your life — your family, your partner, your workplace, your friends. If you've ever been the strong one, the steady one, the fixer, the empath, the “call me any time” person . . . this episode is permission to put the container down and finally breathe. Because being supportive shouldn't mean being swallowed whole.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 294 - "Micro-Gratitude"Big gratitude gets all the attention — vision boards, journals, grand declarations. But sometimes, the most powerful shifts come from the smallest thank-yous. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore micro-gratitude — the subtle, moment-by-moment practice of noticing what's good right now. They'll talk about how micro-gratitude rewires your brain for resilience, lowers stress, and builds emotional momentum when life feels heavy. You'll learn how to weave appreciation into the tiniest corners of your day — your first sip of coffee, a stranger's kindness, and the silence between tasks. Because gratitude doesn't have to be big to be transformative. It just has to be real—and repeated.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

New voting restrictions across the country are threatening to make it harder for millions of Americans to participate in elections. In some states, these barriers have thrown long-registered voters into limbo, as Arizona voter James Wilson learned when he nearly lost his ability to vote because of strict new proof-of-citizenship rules. In this season finale, Democracy Decoded examines how these barriers to voting — along with an administration actively attempting to curtail the freedom to vote and a Supreme Court with voting rights cases on its docket — are reshaping access to the ballot.Host Simone Leeper speaks with election law scholar Rick Hasen and Campaign Legal Center's voting rights expert Danielle Lang to unpack the rise of new barriers to voting, the future of the Voting Rights Act, the dangers of executive overreach, and the policy solutions and reforms needed to secure the freedom to vote in 2026 and beyond.Timestamps:(00:00) — How did one Arizona voter nearly lose his right to vote?(04:35) — Why are federal actions now threatening elections?(06:50) — How do proof-of-citizenship laws disenfranchise voters?(11:48) — What happened inside Arizona's dual-track voting system?(15:32) — Who is most affected by modern voting restrictions?(21:36) — What role has the federal government historically played in protecting voting rights?(23:49) — Why is the SAVE Act so bad for voting rights?(25:16) — What is Campaign Legal Center doing to protect the freedom to vote in Louisiana?(28:38) — What is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act?(30:06) — What is the Turtle Mountain v. Howe case?(34:05) — What reforms are needed to protect elections in 2026 and beyond?Host and Guests:Simone Leeper litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at Campaign Legal Center, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy.

Episode 293 - "Repairing What's Frayed - How to Rebuild Connections"In a world that moves fast and forgets easily, we all have parts of our lives that have come undone — relationships, routines, or pieces of ourselves we've set aside in the rush to keep going. In this episode, Michelle and Scott talk about how to tend to what's frayed — how to revisit the places in your life that need mending without judgment or shame. From strained relationships to fractured trust, from burnout to broken routines, repair is not about pretending nothing happened. It's about choosing to care again. Through self-reflection, boundaries, and compassion, they explore how the Japanese art of kintsugi — mending cracks with gold — teaches us to honor our scars as part of our strength. Because sometimes, what's been broken isn't ruined. It's just waiting to become something more beautiful.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 michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com
