Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
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, […]

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 […]

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 – […]

The other day, I heard Carly Simon singing beautifully the 1938 song by Hoagy Carmichael called “I Get Along Without You Very Well”, and it got me thinking. Most people hear it as a lament – the brave face we wear after heartbreak, the lie we tell ourselves when someone leaves. But I hear something […]

Notice the tightness in your stomach. That steady, painful, immovable block in your mind. That’s resistance – and it has a physical address in your body. Stress and fear aren’t abstract concepts; they’re tangible sensations holding you hostage. For those of us in our mature years, resistance often wears a familiar face: the dismissive colleague […]

We need both backbone and heart. They’re not opposites. They’re partners. Backbone keeps us standing when the work gets hard. It’s the part of us that says “not yet” when we want to quit, that shows up again tomorrow, even after today didn’t go as planned. Backbone is tenacity – that quiet determination that refuses […]

The Truth. The Whole Truth. Nothing But the Truth. Say these words out loud. Feel their weight. Some people live by them. Truth sits at their core – unshakeable, non-negotiable. It’s who they are when no one’s watching. Others see truth as flexible. A tool to be bent, shaped, hidden. They lie to get what […]

Peace isn’t the absence of conflict. It’s the presence of grace under pressure. It’s the breath you take before responding instead of reacting. It’s choosing calm over chaos, even when chaos feels justified. Goodwill isn’t naive optimism. It’s the radical and empowering act of assuming the best in people and encouraging it until they prove […]

Your house closes and you’re moving into a new home. Fresh start. Seven days until you’re done working with that difficult person. The relationship that’s been draining you ends, and something new begins. You can see this change coming. It’s not vague or distant – it’s walking down the street right at you. You feel […]
