ABOUT JEFF
“There are paths we find ourselves on where it feels as if life controls us.
The key to life, with guidance, is to find the path where you feel more in
control and embrace following it. Enjoy the journey wherever it may take
you. Play. Explore. Experiment."
- Jeff Singal, men's MIDLIFE compass (ikigai) COACH
You’ve done what you were supposed to do.
Built a solid career. Provided for your family. Taken care of your
responsibilities. And yet… lately, something feels off.
Most days feel like you’re just going through the motions. You keep thinking,
“There’s got to be more than this.”
But with everything on your plate — work, family, expectations — it feels risky
to even think about making a change. So you keep going. You push the feeling aside. Until it gets louder.
I know what that’s like.
I CAN HELP YOU :
The Shift I Didn’t See Coming
For years, I felt the same way.
From the outside, things looked steady. I had built a good life. I built a family, launched businesses and established a community.
But inside, I had this feeling I couldn’t shake - like I was drifting, not driving. Like the life I had built didn’t fit as well as it used to.
I wasn’t looking to burn it all down. But I knew I couldn’t keep living on autopilot either.
The turning point came in 2022 when I discovered Ikigai. It was like finding the missing piece of the puzzle.
Think of Ikigai as a compass to help guide you to your true north, the guiding force that gives your life meaning and direction.
The Japanese version of Ikigai isn’t just about landing the perfect career or chasing financial success.
It’s about finding meaning and joy in every part of your life. It’s about discovering what makes life worth living. That insight landed hard. It changed how I think about this stage of life. Because here’s what I realized:
Midlife isn’t a crisis to fix. It’s a wake-up call - a chance to stop drifting and figure out what’s next, on your terms.
How Ikigai Led Me Here
Discovering Ikigai was a game-changer for me. It wasn’t just a nice idea - it was a real, practical way to make sense of where I was in life and where I wanted to go next. I wanted to take it further, not just for myself but to help other men feeling stuck or restless in midlife. So I got certified as a coach and in Ikigai practice.
Since then, I’ve blended those insights with Western ideas and tools I developed to create the R.E.A.L Framework - a straightforward guide that helps men find direction, refocus their energy, and move forward with real purpose.
What I Do Now
I work with men who feel stuck in a life that no longer fits - but aren’t sure how to change it without risking what they’ve built.
This isn’t therapy. And it’s not about quitting your job or finding your “one true
calling”. It’s about getting clear on what matters to you now, making space to think, and finding practical, meaningful ways to move forward - without blowing up your life.
Using a grounded process based on the real meaning of Ikigai, we talk straight about what’s working, what’s not, and what comes next. If you’re ready to stop just going through the motions, here are two simple ways to get started:
