Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
You’re caught. Instead of “I’m sorry. I was wrong. Forgive me,” you explode. You attack. You storm out, quitting the job or the relationship before anyone can hold you accountable. You become the fake victim in your own story. This is scorn — bitter contempt turned outward as deflection. It’s a choice to hide behind […]

We throw these terms around casually, but understanding what they actually mean can be life-saving—whether you’re navigating a relationship, a difficult boss, or a colleague who leaves you feeling drained, or fundamentally unsafe. The Overt Narcissist: Center Stage Always Overt narcissists need constant admiration and react with rage to criticism. They dress for attention, brag […]

Before fighting for a seat at any table, ask yourself: whose table is this? We spend so much energy dreaming, planning, and trying to get invited, to be included, to prove we belong. But we rarely stop to examine whether that particular table serves our goals, reflects our values, or respects our integrity. Every table […]

A holiday isn’t just time off—it’s a day made sacred. Special. Set apart for what matters most. Whether Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, or simply a day of rest—it’s time made sacred by our intention. We honor what matters: gratitude, connection, peace. Today, we pause. We stop the hustle of proving our worth through productivity. We […]

I’ve been thinking about Marilyn Monroe in that iconic scene – “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Unforgettable performance. Monroe commands that screen with charm and razor-sharp timing, surrounded by men in tuxedos offering jewels while she purrs about what really matters. She might be called a gold digger, but strip away the spectacle, and […]

Over the past two days, I’ve written about discovering our wholeness when we leave (“I Get Along Without You Very Well”) and celebrating collective freedom when toxic people exit (“Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead”). But there’s an entire soundtrack to liberation that deserves recognition. These songs aren’t about wallowing in heartbreak or nursing wounds. […]

A coaching client told me when a troublemaking manager quit at work, people stood up and sang “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead.” Perfectly understandable and thrilling to learn about. The song is playful and deadly serious. Yesterday I wrote about the quiet triumph of discovering that we get along very well without someone – […]

At 100 years old, Jiro Ono stands behind the sushi counter in his ten-seat basement restaurant in Tokyo’s Ginza district, doing what he’s done for decades: seeking perfection. “I cherish my life, and I aim for 114,” he declares—not as wishful thinking, but as intentional purpose. That forward-looking goal at 100 reveals everything: he’s not […]

There’s a particular species of dishonesty called convenient amnesia. It’s the art of selectively forgetting whatever doesn’t serve you – past promises, previous positions, uncomfortable truths. And ironically, some of its most devoted practitioners will swear they never lie. People like this claim moral superiority because they “never lie.” But confront them with the fact […]

Every yes carries a hidden cost. When you accept too many projects, chase too many opportunities, stretch yourself across too many commitments, something fundamental breaks down. Not immediately. Not obviously. But inevitably. Your attention fragments. That extra hour you’d normally spend refining your work? Gone. The care you’d give to understanding a client’s deeper needs? […]
