This week’s episode of Still Here, Still Trying sits with a question a lot of people quietly carry.

Does any of this actually matter?

If you’ve ever built something, led a team, created art, raised kids, or tried to make the world a little better, you’ve probably had that moment where the work is real but the feedback is quiet.

The world is loud right now. Attention moves fast. And sometimes the things that actually matter move a lot slower than the noise.

In this week’s episode I talk about that middle space. The place where you’re still showing up, still building, still trying… even when you’re not sure if anyone is noticing.

I also share the story behind a song I wrote called “A Song Nobody Hears.” It came out of a night where I was wrestling with that exact question.

One line from the song says it pretty clearly:

“Anybody feel like they’re fading slow?
Like you’re here, but nobody knows.”

If you’ve ever had that feeling, this conversation might resonate with you.

These videos stopped me for a minute.

Real people. Real strength. Real Endo warriors.

I’m building the “Stand With Her” music video from clips like these, and you’ll hear a small sneak peek of the song in this video.

One of the lines says:

“Millions walking through the same
Invisible but just as brave.”

If you live with endometriosis and want to be part of this, there’s still time.

Send a 5–10 second clip of yourself. Nothing fancy. Just you.

Submissions close Friday and then I’ll start building the final video.

Let’s make sure the world sees the people behind this fight. 💛

The song “Stand With Her” is finished.

In this video I talk about why I wrote it and why I’m asking Endo warriors to be part of the music video.

You’ll also hear a sneak peek of the song in the background.

One of the lines says:

“Millions walking through the same
Invisible but just as brave.”

If you live with endometriosis, I would be honored to include you in the video. Send me a 5–10 second clip showing your strength. Nothing polished. Just you.

A smile.
Standing strong.
Holding a yellow ribbon.

Send it via DM if you want to be part of this.

Let’s make sure the world sees the faces behind this fight. 💛

A lifetime of darkness… in fifteen minutes.

Five songs.
One night.
One decision.

Standing on the Edge is a story told in music.

It starts with The Weight of Today —
when everything feels too heavy.

Then The Quiet After the Storm —
that strange silence after the breaking point.

Then Ghosts in the Morning Light —
when the doubts are still there… but the light weakens them.

Then Small Fires —
when hope doesn’t return as a sunrise…
but as a tiny spark you protect from the wind.

And finally I Turned Around.

Because sometimes the biggest victories are quiet.

Sometimes it’s just a whisper in the dark:

“Maybe hope is just this breath… still fighting through the pain.”

🎹 Standing on the Edge
Now streaming everywhere.

This one is for anyone fighting their demons through the dark days… and choosing to keep going.

💛 Endo Warriors — I need your help. 💛

For Endometriosis Awareness Month, I’m working on something really special.

I’ve written a powerful song called “Stand With Her.” It’s about every woman fighting endometriosis — the strength it takes, the battles people don’t see, and the millions of warriors who deserve to be heard.

And I want YOU to be part of the music video.

🎥 Here’s what I need:
Send me a 5–10 second video clip of you.

It can be anything that represents your strength:
• smiling
• a power pose
• standing strong
• holding your yellow ribbon
• however you want to show your warrior spirit

I’m going to stitch all the clips together into a powerful tribute to Endo Warriors everywhere.

Let’s show the world the faces behind this fight.

📩 Send your clip via DM

Together we’ll make something that reminds every woman with endo:

You are seen.
You are believed.
And we stand with you.

You don’t owe anyone a positive attitude.

You’re allowed to feel what you feel without turning it into something upbeat for other people.

Your honesty matters more than your mood.

Stay Strong,
Mike

You’re allowed to be tired of fighting.

You don’t have to carry strength every minute of the day.

Some days, being worn out is honest.

Stay Strong,
Mike

You don’t have to explain why today feels hard.

You don’t owe anyone a detailed story or a convincing reason.

Some days are simply heavy, and that’s enough.

Stay Strong,
Mike

You don’t have to earn rest.

You don’t need a reason. You don’t need permission. You don’t need to finish one more thing first.

Rest because you need it.

Stay Strong,
Mike
