Your Guide to Midlife

If you’ve typed “midlife” into a search bar and found yourself here, chances are you’re already a fully-fledged member of the Midlife Club — and I’m genuinely glad you’ve arrived.

Midlife is a strange sort of place.
If you live long enough, you’ll visit it — that curious stretch of life where meaning and purpose can suddenly feel elusive, even as success and responsibility stack up around you. Discontent, fatigue, and restlessness often appear without invitation, while clarity and joy seem harder to locate.

If you’re between 40 and 65, you’re in good company. In 2019, the largest age group in the UK was 50–54 year-olds — over 4.7 million of us — and yet surprisingly little has been written or researched about the psychological experience of midlife.
The so-called “midlife crisis” remains one of the most misunderstood and underestimated life transitions — rarely discussed with empathy, and often dismissed with a joke.

That’s why I created The Midlife Academy — to guide you through this rocky, remarkable terrain. Here, you’ll find courses, blogs, and insights designed to help you understand why you might feel disillusioned, restless, or unseen — even when life looks fine on the surface — and how to use this stage as a doorway to something deeper, more authentic, and more alive.

So, as Virgil was to Dante, let me be your guide as we navigate this landscape together — not toward crisis, but toward renewal.
