You’ve Done Everything Right.
So Why Does Life Feel Off?
I’m Michael Peterson
Founder of Alchemy Shift, and I know this place well.
I grew up surrounded by people who had everything society says you need: success, respect, and status. Yet beneath the surface, I could see their struggles—the quiet disconnect, the hidden weight of unmet meaning. My father was one of them.
When I was 14, his death stopped me in my tracks. It made me question everything:
“What’s the point of success if it doesn’t make us happy?”
Without answers, I did what many of us do. I followed the script:
From the outside, I looked like I had it all together. But on the inside, I felt hollow—like life was something to manage, not something to truly live.
After graduate school, I hit a wall. I had checked every box, yet I was exhausted. The options in front of me were good, but none of them would bring the fulfillment I craved. My body, my spirit, and my life were telling me: stop, listen, choose differently.
That exhaustion became my invitation—my call to remember who I really was.

Begin Your Journey
It’s Time to Come Home to Yourself.
You’ve done everything “right.” You’ve achieved, you’ve carried the weight, you’ve lived up to expectations. But beneath it all, something still calls to you:
- A quiet voice asking, “Is this all there is?”
- A sense that life could feel lighter, freer, more real.
- A sense that life could feel lighter, freer, more real.
This is your invitation to pause. To remember who you are beneath the noise, the roles, and the striving. To realign with what feels true. To reclaim a life that feels vibrant, grounded, and deeply your own.
At Alchemy Shift, I help you:
Release
the stories and patterns that no longer serve you.
Realign
with the wisdom and truth already within you.
Reclaim
a life that feels alive, expansive, and wholly yours.
The answers you’re searching for aren’t out there. They’re within you, waiting to be remembered. This is your moment to take the first step. Let’s walk the path together.
