Midlife crisis. Purpose, meaning, transition. Midlife Crossroads Academy

For midlifers who want to discover where they are now, and how to live midlife with energy, purpose and joy.

You’ll:

  • Understand what drives you and what no longer fits

  • Reframe midlife as a rich, meaningful chapter you get to shape

  • Walk away with your own personal compass to guide decisions ahead

This is real personal growth work from day one. Not always easy, but worth every step.

Do you feel like you've lost touch with yourself in midlife?

Midlife can be busy, noisy, and full of responsibilities. That leaves very little space for you.

Are you finding it hard to get excited about your life and work these days? Are you wondering where that fire in your belly went, or what’s still out there for you? Have you been asking that killer question “What’s my purpose in life?’ 

If so, it’s not just you. Many people reach midlife feeling successful on paper but disconnected inside. Or they feel like everyday is the same day.

The good news is that you can change that.

Clarity in midlife comes when you know what truly drives you.

IMAGINE YOU COULD:

That’s what the Midlife Purpose Playbook is designed to do.

What changes when you truly reconnect with yourself?

Midlife is often compared to running on autopilot. You’re busy, capable, but slightly disconnected from what really matters to you.

The Midlife Purpose Playbook is an empowering 6-week online coaching programme that gives you the space, tools, and guidance to change that. Week by week, you’ll get clearer on who you are now, what drives you, and how to shape a life that feels intentional and energising. 

Right now, you might be:

  • Unsure what’s next, even if life looks fine on paper

  • Saying yes to things that don’t feel right (and regretting it later)

  • Drained by roles or routines that no longer fit

  • Wondering where your motivation —or spark— went

  • Talking yourself out of ideas before you’ve even tried them

After 6 weeks, you could be:

  • Making choices that feel clear, focused, and true to you

  • Enjoying more meaning and fulfilment in all areas of your life and work – and bringing back the spark in what you do

  • Waking up with more energy, joy, and motivation for the future

  • Feeling proud of the life you’re creating, because it finally reflects who you are 

This isn’t theory. It’s a transformative journey to help you reconnect with yourself and create a personal compass for everything that comes next.

What makes the Midlife Purpose Playbook course different?

Proven tools. Real clarity. Midlife purpose.

Step by step, the Midlife Purpose Playbook enables you to uncover your values, strengths, and patterns — and then use them to build your own compass for midlife decisions. Each week gives you science-backed tools, practical exercises, and reflection prompts so you can turn insight into action.

Here’s an overview of what this impactful programme will bring you:

Midlife Purpose Playbook: 6 weeks to reconnect with purpose and meaning

This eye-opening course breaks down into six focused weeks, each packed with practical tools and fresh insights to help you understand yourself better and make decisions that actually fit your life today. No vague advice, just clear steps to help you move forward with purpose and confidence.

Week 1 - Reframe midlife

Overview

We kick off by reframing how you see midlife. You’ll explore what the science says about happiness in midlife, how life expectancy has changed dramatically over time, and why your perspective on this phase shapes everything that follows. We’ll introduce the U-shaped happiness curve, and how your outlook naturally shifts in midlife — although you might not have realised it until now.  

This week lays the groundwork for everything to come: giving you a clear, more confident lens on this phase of life.

Outcomes

By week’s end, you’ll have a science-backed understanding of midlife that helps you feel more empowered and less alone. You’ll start to see midlife as a long and meaningful chapter that’s yours to shape.

Being told in no unclear terms that my fears and expectations about midlife were totally wrong, made me realise midlife is indeed a fresh start.
— Frans, 43

I didn’t expect midlife to have its own science. Learning how our happiness actually shifts helped me stop feeling like I was just stuck or failing.
— Heather, 48

Overview

In week 2, we’ll start your self-exploration journey by reconnecting with what really matters to you.

You’ll take a fresh look at your personal values — not the ones you inherited or feel you “should” have, but the ones that truly guide your choices today. Through reflection and practical exercises, you’ll start noticing where your current life aligns (or clashes) with those core values.

Outcomes

By the end of the week, you’ll have a clearer sense of what feels right and what no longer fits.

You’ll start making more conscious decisions — in work, relationships, and daily life — based on what genuinely matters to you now.

I’d honestly never sat down to figure out my values before. Turns out, knowing what you stand for really clears the mental clutter.
— Elke, 54

Overview

This week is all about recognising what you naturally bring to the table. You’ll explore your professional strengths, personality traits, and emotional intelligence — and how they shape your daily choices and long-term direction.

We’ll connect the dots between what energises you at work, how you interact with others, and the patterns that influence your decisions.

Outcomes

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of your core strengths, and how to use them with more confidence and intention. The work you’ll be doing will enable you to spot unhelpful patterns and trust your instincts. You’ll also gain practical tools to work with your personality and EQ, so you can navigate midlife with more clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Overview

This week, you’ll explore the roles, responsibilities, and internal scripts that have shaped your life so far. We’ll unpack the expectations you’ve inherited or absorbed: who you thought you had to be, what success should look like, and how your personal drivers have guided your choices. It’s time to let go of outdated stories and choose new ones based on who you want to be in midlife.

Outcomes

You’ll gain clarity on which stories still serve you, and which don’t. You’ll begin rewriting your definition of success, using your own values as the compass. And you’ll leave with a more empowering lens to guide your next steps, not out of duty, but choice.

Spotting the voices in my head that hold me back was uncomfortable, but necessary. Mapping out what truly motivates me helped me feel more in control.
— Jenny, 53

Overview

You’ll identify the inner saboteurs and outdated beliefs that hold you back, often disguised as logic, perfectionism or ‘being realistic.’ Then, we’ll introduce ikigai — a practical Japanese framework to help you uncover the intersection where purpose and meaning feel real and achievable.

Outcomes

You’ll spot the inner voices that drain your energy, and learn how to challenge them. You’ll also build your own ikigai map, giving you a personalised guide to what brings you meaning, motivation, and a reason to get up in the morning. And you’ll walk away with a clearer sense of how to shape a life that feels both fulfilling and energising.

Ikigai was totally new to me, but wow! It helped me piece together where I want to go next, especially work-wise.
— Marc, 58

I’d heard about ikigai before but never really got it. Building my own map helped me see how what I love, what I’m good at, and what matters to me all fit together. I hadn’t connected those things until now.
— Ann, 47

Overview

This week, it all comes together. You’ll understand what purpose -your why– really is, and some of the different paths you could take to build yours. You’ll also draw from everything you’ve uncovered about yourself -your values, strengths, personality, stories, and motivators- to write a personal life purpose statement that feels true to you. A grounded, powerful declaration of how you want to live, lead, and contribute from here.

Outcomes

You’ll craft a clear, authentic life purpose statement based on what you know about yourself. It will act as your internal compass for choices, changes, and challenges ahead. You’ll feel more focused, more motivated, and more aligned with what you truly want midlife to be about.

FAQs about the Midlife Purpose Playbook on-demand coaching programme

How do I know if this programme is for me?

Are you at a point where life feels like it’s asking for something different? Wondering what’s next for you, whether in your career, relationships, or personal sense of direction and meaning? Do you want clear structure, proven tools, and practical guidance to help you move forward with confidence?

Then our programmes are meant for you. They’re designed for curious, growth-minded midlifers who want to take charge of this next chapter. Most participants are between 40 and 65, but there’s no age limit. Just a willingness to do the work and explore what’s possible.

As soon as you enrol, you will gain access to week 1 of the programme, hosted inside Thinkific (a learning platform). Every week after that -for the next 5 weeks- new content will be released. This means you’ll have the entire week to watch the videos, explore the additional reading materials, and complete the exercises, entirely on your own schedule. 

You have 12 months to access the programme, so you can work your way through it as quickly or as leisurely as you want. You can also revisit any module, video lesson or reading material.

We want to give you the flexibility to go as quickly (or as leisurely) as you’d like. So it will be up to you. 

That said, we recommend allocating about 2-3 hours each week to complete, working at your own pace. 

The programme is designed so that even with a full-time job and family commitments, you can stay on track and succeed. 

Yes, you need to watch each video before moving on to the next. The videos are where you’ll learn the key concepts, tools, and strategies – and they build on each other step by step. 

Skipping ahead would be like jumping into a conversation halfway through. You’d miss the context that makes everything click. 

Watching them in order ensures you get the full benefit of the programme and can apply the tools effectively.

Most of the videos are mandatory because they give you the core concepts and tools you’ll need. The exercises aren’t technically required, but we strongly recommend doing as many as possible

This programme is all about action and applying what you learn. Watching the videos gives you the knowledge, but it’s the exercises that turn that knowledge into real change.

Once you enrol, you’ll have 12 months’ access to the online platform, including all videos, exercises, and additional reading materials. You can revisit and retake the course at any time during this period.

Plus, you can download and keep:

  • All exercises in a PDF workbook

  • The presentation slides used in the videos

  • All reading materials

These are yours to keep forever and you can access them whenever you want.

No exam. This isn’t about tests or grades, it’s about your personal breakthrough. Everyone’s journey is unique, and your results depend on your own goals and challenges. The real measure is how you transform your life, not a paper test.

You can access MCA online programmes using a desktop or laptop computer, tablet, or mobile phone. You will also have the opportunity to join video conference calls

Not at all. The strategies you’ll learn are powerful at any stage of life. In fact, some people under 35 join because they’re already hungry for clarity and purpose. The sooner you start shaping the life you want, the better.

With our programmes, you’ll dive into an experience designed to spark real transformation and get clear on your ‘What’s Next.’ You’ll uncover who you are now, why you’re at this crossroads, and the future you’re ready to create.

You’ll gain practical tools and fresh perspectives to spot what’s holding you back and what needs to change. Then you’ll take simple, focused actions that build real momentum, moving you into your next chapter with purpose, energy, and confidence.

If you could, you probably would have by now. The truth is, information isn’t transformation. What you need is focus, guidance, and a proven path, not another pile of articles or videos.

If you’re here, you’ve likely been thinking about these midlife questions for a while, and still feel stuck. Imagine looking back at the end of this year and saying, ‘That was the moment everything shifted.’ This could be that moment.

Absolutely, and what a tremendous gift to receive!
