Midlife Lifestyle Coach. Author. Podcast Host. Founder.
Kiran Singh is a UK-based Midlife Lifestyle Coach, author, podcast host, and the founder of two organisations built around a single belief: that the second half of a woman’s life deserves as much intention, beauty, honesty, and self-respect as the first.
Born in Punjab, India, and raised in Norway, Kiran has lived in the UK for over eighteen years. She is multilingual, a single mother, a yoga practitioner, an interior designer, and a woman who has navigated midlife not as a crisis to survive but as an invitation to redesign everything, consciously, beautifully, on her own terms.
Her work sits at the intersection of lifestyle design, emotional reinvention, self-discovery, and intentional living. It is intelligent, soulful, and deeply personal, built from lived experience rather than theory.
The Work
Kiran is the founder and steward of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, a publication, philosophy, and membership community for women navigating midlife with intention. She is also the founder of The Sattva Collective CIC, the UK’s first community-led organisation for South Asian women in midlife and menopause.
She hosts the Midlife by Design Podcast, writes the Tea with Self essay series, and publishes the #85WeeksToFifty interview series, honest conversations with women sharing their midlife wisdom as Kiran walks herself towards fifty.
Her books include From “What Now?” to “Watch Me!” Midlife by Design, Not by Default, published 19th October 2026, alongside a growing collection of workbooks, journals, and guided resources for women in midlife.
She has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Grazia, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, Stylist, Top Santé, Metro, and London Live, among many others. She was named Midlife Lifestyle Design Platform of the Year 2026 and Midlife Lifestyle Coach of the Year 2026 by SME News.
The Coaching
Kiran offers one coaching option: Midlife in Your Pocket, monthly, rolling WhatsApp support for the woman who wants a trusted voice in her corner, without the formality of scheduled sessions.
The Philosophy
Kiran’s approach is rooted in what she calls Slow & Soulful Business: calm, intentional rhythms over hustle. She believes deeply in affordable access to support, in building community over audience, and in the power of honest, unhurried writing to help women come home to themselves.
She operates Substack-first, with no social media presence. Everything lives here.
A note on how this all began
In April 2022, Kiran’s daughter left home. For the first time in eighteen years of full-time single motherhood, she was completely alone. She had a beautiful home, a thriving business, and no idea who she was without her role.
What followed was slow, quiet, and transformative. The more time she spent with herself, the more at home she felt, until one day, she had come home to herself. Fully. Completely. Wholeheartedly.
That experience is the foundation of everything Midlife by Design is built from. And everything it is built for.
