Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
We spend enormous energy pretending – not living fully as who we are. Not the obvious kind of hiding – most of us aren’t living double lives or maintaining elaborate deceptions. We hide in subtler ways. We round off our edges in professional settings. We soften our convictions when they might create friction. We perform […]

We throw around “badass” like there’s only one definition. There isn’t. The first badass is all edges. Uncompromising means inflexible. Tough means cruel. This person mistakes hardness for strength and thinks kindness is weakness. They get things done, sure—but they leave wreckage behind them. The second badass also pushes through resistance. Also, won’t quit. But […]

Let’s say you decide to quit your job. The easy part is making the decision. The hard and crucial part is how you leave. You’d better make sure all your ducks are in a row. Be professional, not an angry amateur hack. Invest time now for success and happiness later. Give proper notice. Tie up […]

Service isn’t a switch you flip when a project begins. It’s a continuous thread of attention, care, and connection that runs through the entire relationship—from first conversation to completion and beyond. Real service means staying present even when there’s nothing immediate to do. It’s the check-in two months before installation day, not the frantic call […]

There’s a crucial difference between repetition and routine. Repetition with renewed awareness is intentional – choosing again, fresh each time. Routine becomes autopilot, where we’re physically present but can be mentally elsewhere. We do things repeatedly in our daily work. The question isn’t whether we repeat – it’s how we show up when we do. […]

Let’s reconsider the word manipulation. Somewhere along the way, it became synonymous with scheming, controlling, being cunning and underhanded. But manipulation, at its core, is simply skillful handling. And there’s nothing inherently dark about that. Your yoga teacher manipulates your body into alignment, hands guiding your hips, adjusting your shoulders so you can breathe deeper, […]

Find a comfortable spot. Close your eyes if you’d like. First breath: Breathe in slowly through your nose for four counts. Hold for four counts. Feel gratitude filling your chest—for this day, this moment, your ability to choose. Breathe out pressure through your mouth for four counts. Let your shoulders drop. Second breath: Inhale peace […]

We all have regrets. That nagging, shameful, tight, sick feeling when we’ve made a mistake, hurt someone, or fallen short of our own standards—that’s our ethical unconscious speaking. It’s not weakness. It’s proof we’re human, that we have a moral compass pointing us toward integrity. Some people choose silence when they stumble. They protect, defend, […]

Jane Porges wrote a review of The Next Act for Amazon that reminded me, in a fresh way, why this work matters. Not because of the five stars—though I’m grateful—but because she understood something essential: this book isn’t about career tactics. It’s about “navigating your inner landscape.” She writes about “sifting through countless thoughts, ambitions, […]

Happy New Year. Let’s talk about limits. Some limits are real—the laws of physics, the hours in a day, our mortal frames. But most of the limits we live within? We chose them. Often without realizing it. We decided what we’re “too old” to learn. What career paths are “no longer realistic.” Which relationships are […]
