About Michael Abney

I’ve lived many lives in one—farm kid in Missouri, bullied outsider, entrepreneur, salon owner, filmmaker, real estate broker, spiritual seeker, and now, a coach dedicated to helping gay men over 45 step into the most fulfilling chapter of their lives.

Like many of you, my journey hasn’t been a straight line (pun intended). I grew up knowing I was different. I endured the name-calling, the isolation, the moments that made me question if I’d ever truly belong. But even in those darkest moments, there was a fire inside me—a deep knowing that life had something more in store. I just had to claim it.

I learned early on how to turn pain into power. I found my voice, stepped into leadership, and built a life on my own terms. From styling hair to running my own salon, producing documentaries, surviving a mid-life crisis, and even navigating an HIV diagnosis—I’ve learned that every challenge is a doorway to expansion, if we’re willing to walk through it.

At 50, I stopped fighting life and started flowing with it. I embraced my true calling: guiding other gay men to stop surviving and start thriving. Through coaching, I help men like you unlock a deep sense of self-awareness, clarity, and confidence—so you can design a life that feels effortless and aligned.

Whether you’re navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or simply ready for something bigger, I’m here to help you create a future that excites you. Because the best chapter of your life isn’t behind you—it’s RIGHT NOW!, just waiting for you to claim it.
