The Quiet Truth

You’ve done more than was expected. You’ve achieved a lot in work and life. And still, something feels off, quietly but persistently. You don’t need a life overhaul. You need a new way to work with emotion so your decisions reflect who you are now, not who you were conditioned to be.

Meet Dr. V

I’m Michelle Vazzana, PhD—Dr. V. I study how high performers decide and turn that into executable frameworks. My work codified sales manager and seller behavior so teams could make better decisions and execute. I bring that same research and systems approach to emotional clarity so people can choose well in real time.

The Feel First Framework™

Feel what’s happening in your body and name it with precision.

Align to what matters - your needs and values. Ask, “Is this from now, or a prediction from my past?”

Choose one wise micro-action that serves the need and fits your values. Choose from now, not an old script.

Why It Works

Emotions are signals your predicting brain uses to guide action. When you …

… you work with the emotion, regulate your state, update predictions, and act with more freedom.

The Science In Plain Terms

Your brain is predictive

Your brain manages a body budget and predicts what is next. Better data updates those predictions.

Emotions are constructed

Emotions are made from body signals plus concepts. More precise naming give you more options.

Broaden and Build

Helpful states widen attention and create upward spirals through aligned micro-actions.

Why Decision Quality is the Key​

The best sellers and managers are the best decision makers. The most emotionally whole people are too. They stop performing for peace, listen to what feelings are signaling, and make choices that actually fit at work and at home.

Feel the emotion in your body

Align with need and values.

Choose the smallest step that changes the moment.
