Helping Men Who Feel Stuck and Step into a Life of Purpose, Confidence, and Authenticity
Do You Feel Like You're Living the Same Day on Repeat?
Unsure How to Find Meaning and Purpose?
I know what it’s like to feel stuck—to go through the motions, playing the role everyone expects from you while silently wondering, is this really it?
For years, I checked every box I was supposed to. I built the life that should have made me happy.
And yet, I felt disconnected and lost, like I was waiting for my real life to begin.
I used to fantasize that I had the power to go back in time to undo all the decisions that had led me to the life I was living, ready to give it all up.
That’s when I found the path that changed everything.
"We have not even to risk the adventure alone for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known… we have only to follow the thread of the hero path."
- Joseph Campbell
My Story
From Emptiness to Purpose
There was a time when I was barely present in my own life.
I felt numb—like I was sleepwalking through my relationships, my career, and my role as a father. I was drinking too much, I was directionless, and I felt like I was faking it with everyone I met.
I was doing everything "right", but I wasn’t truly living.
I was surviving.
Getting through each day, I told myself this was just how life was—not everyone gets a fairy tale life, right? But deep down, I knew something had to change. I started searching for answers.
I studied the work of Carl Jung, Brené Brown, Joseph Campbell, and the framework of the Hero’s Journey. I dove into psychology, mythology, and personal development—not just to understand myself better but to find a path back to the man I was meant to be.
What I discovered? I wasn’t alone.
So many men are stuck in the same invisible cage—doing their "duty" but feeling like something significant is missing. And worse, they don’t know how to name it, let alone fix it.
That’s why I created Modern Manhood Coaching, to help men just like you break free from the routine, reclaim your power, and live your life with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.
Why Men Stay Stuck
And the Path to Freedom
Maybe you feel trapped in a cycle of self-doubt, frustration, or quiet suffering.
Maybe you’ve convinced yourself that “this is just how life is.”
Maybe you don’t even know what’s wrong—only that something isn’t right.
Here’s the truth:
We stay stuck, because we believe we must in order to be the "good man" we were raised to be.
Most men don’t need more discipline, motivation, or willpower.
They've got plenty of those. They've been suppressing themselves to be the person they were told they needed to be for their entire lives.
What they need is a new way to see themselves.
They need a new story to live by.
At Modern Manhood Coaching, I use a framework rooted in both modern and ancient wisdom combined with contemporary coaching techniques to help men:
Identify and let go of defenses that no longer serve them.
Embrace hidden aspects of themselves to create wholeness and belonging.
Find their personal mission and step into their story with confidence.
Live intentionally instead of reactively.
Create a vision for their life that aligns with their deepest values.
Show up as the man they wish to be in their homes, at work, and in every aspect of their lives.
This isn’t about simply “becoming a better man”.
This is about reclaiming the truth of who you already are.

I work with men ready to break free from feeling stuck and start living life on their own terms!

Struggle with self-doubt, indecision, or a lack of clarity about what they truly want.

You don’t have to keep living the same day over and over again.

FAQS
What is coaching, and how does it work?
Coaching is a dynamic and collaborative partnership focused on helping individuals identify and achieve their personal and professional goals. It involves a series of one-on-one sessions with a trained life coach who provides guidance, support, and accountability.
I use a variety of techniques and tools to help my clients gain awareness and clarity, set actionable goals, and develop strategies to overcome challenges.
The coaching process is highly personalized, tailored to each individual's unique needs and aspirations, and it empowers you to make positive changes in your life.
So... Is this like therapy?
Great question! Coaching and therapy definitely have some similarities but they're different in very important ways.
Where therapy is often focused on healing the past, coaching is future-focused—empowering you to identify where you are now, where you want to be, and how to bridge that gap.
As your coach, I will help to guide you through that incredible maze of mind, body, spirit, and emotion to uncover what is truly important to you and where you may be blocking yourself from achieving it. I'll use provocative inquiry, accountability, exercises, and tools to help you break through obstacles, develop new perspectives, and take intentional action toward living a more authentic, fulfilling life.
What makes working with Coach Jacob different from other coaching services?
Coaching isn’t about generic advice or surface-level motivation. My goal is to give you the tools to make you self-sufficient. That's right, I don't want you to keep paying me forever. Experience transformation for yourself and you can help me out by telling others who could benefit!
What sets me apart is my focus on helping people reclaim ownership of their lives through deep, transformative work rooted in timeless principles.
We don’t just set goals—we explore the why behind actions, uncover the hidden narratives holding you back, and guide you through your own Hero’s Journey to help you emerge as your most authentic, confident self.
This isn’t quick-fix coaching. It’s about real, lasting transformation. You won’t just learn how to “get by”—you’ll learn how to lead, love, and live with purpose.
How long does a typical coaching engagement last?
The duration of a coaching engagement can vary based on individual goals and needs. I always suggest my clients start out with a 10-week package to give us the time we need to uncover your unique goals, beliefs, motivations, and blocks.
This also gives us the time we need to work through your goals as they become clear through the coaching process. Your dream life starts with a strong foundation, so invest in yourself and your future!
Some clients find the coaching relationship a valuable asset that allows them to tackle each new obstacle that presents in their ever-evolving lives with ease instead of struggle. These clients retain my services for longer, extended durations.
