Mentoring with Mike

Unlock Joy, Master Your Mind, and Thrive in Every Area of Life

You’ve built a successful career.

You’ve checked all the right boxes.

But despite it all, something is missing. 

Your relationships feel strained. 

Stress and exhaustion have become your daily norm.

Your achievements aren’t bringing the fulfillment you expected.

You crave inner freedom, not just external success.

Deep down, you know there’s more to life than just getting through it. You want to feel energized, inspired, truly at peace, —without sacrificing the success you’ve worked so hard to build. Whether you think about it a lot or not, you want to contribute to the greater good, to know your life matters, to leave a legacy for our children we can feel good about. 

This is where Mentoring with Mike comes in.

I help driven adults who have experienced trauma (obvious or subtle), rewire their nervous system to grow completely free from symptoms and discover a path to authentic joy, purpose, passion, and connection - without longterm therapy or excessive talk about problems and the past - so they can get back life being better than ever. 

 

What If You Could…

 Wake up feeling excited and in love with life— ready for the "best day ever?"

 Have deep, trusting relationships that feel like a sanctuary

 Shift from survival mode to thriving mode at will

 Master your nervous system and unlock a limitless mindset

This isn't just another coaching program. It’s a full IMMERSION experience designed to rewire your body, mind, and energy for lasting transformation that uplifts ALL. 

Yes, I can relate

Do you feel...

 Stressed and overwhelmed, perhaps even despite your success?

 Disconnected from yourself, your passion, and your loved ones?

 Like you're just going through the motions, or like life is full of burden?

 Trapped in the cycle of achievement but never feeling “enough”?

 Stuck in patterns that drain your energy and joy?

 Perhaps skeptical of "therapy" or "coaching grifts" (for good reasons) but still aware that mentorship and communal support are keys to thriving?  

If so, you're in the right place.

Yup, that's me

The Transformation Awaits

I guarantee you'll experience a significant reduction in anxiety, frustration, and overwhelm within 3 months, allowing you to: focus with greater clarity at work, communicate with more ease and confidence in your relationships, and feel a renewed sense of energy and joy in your daily life. If you don't, I'll grant you access to the transformative power of the JEM-gym community, where you'll receive support, accountability, and personalized guidance until you feel dramatically better.

By the end of this program, you will:

Break free from self-sabotaging patterns—Identify and dismantle the unconscious beliefs keeping you stuck.

Rewire your nervous system—Shift from stress, anxiety, and burnout into ease, clarity, and vitality.

Unlock the "Creative-I AM"—Step into your authentic power and operate from a place of deep inner confidence.

Create your personal roadmap to the future—With clear, practical steps that bring your highest vision to life.

Heal at the deepest level—Using the power of Embodied Aliveness Trauma Transformation, dissolve past wounds that are draining you and holding you back

In JEM you can:

Train your brain to experience joy, vitality, and inner peace—all while maintaining success in the various domains of your life.

Explore the best of what's possible from therapy, coaching, and optimal performance research.

Leave out what is ineffective and inauthentic from the common approaches to mental health and happiness that clearly aren't working for most.

Use a cohesive A-Z system with maps, tools, and instructions.

Enjoy a community where health, happiness, and thriving are contagious.

You don’t need another book, podcast, or “quick fix.” You need a proven process and a mentor who’s been there—who can guide you through real, lasting transformation.

Meet Your Coach

I'm Mike 

(Michael Boyle, LMFT, CDBT)

I am a licensed psychotherapist and optimal performance coach, specializing in "real deal" emotional intelligence, and Embodied Aliveness Trauma Transformation (EATT). I help people to metabolize distress and difficulty, to fuel lives worth loving, in practical, methodical ways combining heart, humor, and grit. 

Most of you by now know the harrowing tales of the things I've had to overcome to be where I am. If not, feel free to look at this same bio section on other pages on this website, or check out my book, "How to Find Joy Even if You Have a Hole in Your Bucket", my podcast, etc. 

For this bio I am going to get specific about what is relevant for this 1-1 Mentoring offer.

Life will challenge you to the core. And the temptation will be to be defined by circumstance instead of your values and choices.

Believe it or not, you’ve been deeply programmed to form a sense of self that has most likely been dictated by:

  1. Reactions to the worst things that have happened to you that deep down you feel are proof that you are broken, not good enough, unlovable, and worthy of such fate.
  2. Cultural indoctrinations - usually by way of well-intentioned people who wanted you to get along with "the way things are and always have been" without knowing they are passing on cultural beliefs (not truths) that are dictated by the brain’s default survival mode negativity bias. 

Either way, these “life-negative” identities are not chosen, but deep down you FEEL them to be true. Even if your rational mind can refute them, you FEAR that they are true.

EVERYONE who is not deliberately choosing and creating a values-based personality structure is living out the DEMANDS of their reactive, conditioned personality.

This is the voice that whispers to you in the quiet dark moments, “You really are a piece of shit.”

Thank goodness, this personality structure is a LIE and a LIAR - even if its impact is devastatingly real.

Understanding this counterfeit personality structure and trying to think your way out of it is akin to putting icing on a shit cake. The way it gets programmed into our body-mind complex is too deep and hardwired. It goes beyond our intellect and actually drives the way we perceive reality. 

Up until recently outgrowing some previously hidden limitations due to my own default, reactive, counterfeit core self patterns I hadn't been willing to offer out the specific work of dismantling the “Reactive-iWAS” (R-iWAS) and its most sneaky aspects, “the primary negative.”

Partly, this is also because this work is too easily confused with “cultural trance” versions of “therapy” or “self-help” where we are largely conditioned to THINK we can figure this out.

The Reactive-iWAS has infinite justifications and can only be starved to death. In its wake and funeral we can choose to give rise to our Creative-IAM (C-IAM), which travels along our Neurological Roadmap to the Future (NRF) we value and choose.

What happens TO US is beside the point.

We are response-able and how we choose to respond is ALL.

Back from the depths of the darkest inner hells one can traverse, I value and choose to share this work (R-iWAS to C-IAM/NRF) which will characterize my six-month, 1-1 coaching programs moving forward.

Why? Because everything you are trying to do to move your life forward is unwittingly sabotaged by feeding this perpetually hungry ghost. you get beyond THIS bane of your existence, and are coming from WHO YOU REALLY ARE, your efforts to really BE happy and satisfied are undermined. Case in point, your life up until now.

By application only. Let me know if you are game.

Love to ALL,
Together we thrive,
Mike

I help people to metabolize distress and difficulty, to fuel lives worth loving, in practical, methodical ways combining heart, humor, and grit. 

In August of 2024, I learned I had a gaping hole in the center of my chest that had been wreaking havoc on my body and mind for more than 2 decades. For more than half of my life, I had a half-functioning lung, a paralyzed diaphragm, and my liver was stuck in this hole and becoming calcified from loss of blood flow. 

My wife and 3 children had never even known me without this debilitating medical condition. And even with a literal hole in my bucket I uses the tools I teach people to  be able to serve as clinical director of various mental health programs, to found a behavioral health center that still serves thousands of families to this day, to start my own business, to move my family to beachside in Mexico to learn about our roots and become bilingual, and then to to the Boston area to receive the expert medical care I needed and the best of the best educational, cultural, and athletic opportunities for my kids.
