Hitting Reset: My Story and Passion - How to Reset Your Life

I’ve always believed that life moves in seasons. Some bring growth and excitement, others bring challenges we never asked for. But in every season, there’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reset.

My journey has been full of these moments. On paper, I have built a strong career, spanning a decade in project management, change management, and business leadership, where I developed strategies and helped others navigate transitions. I thrived on bringing order to complexity and building something solid out of uncertainty.

But life doesn’t always follow a project plan.

A Turning Point: Leaving the Comfort Zone

One of my biggest reset moments came when I left Germany. For years, my life there had looked secure and successful from the outside: I had a stable career, a home, a familiar rhythm. But inside, I knew something was missing. I felt boxed in, weighed down by routines that no longer reflected who I was becoming.

Walking away wasn’t easy. Germany was my comfort zone, my foundation. Still, I chose to leave, stepping into the unknown to create a life that felt more authentic and aligned.

That decision reshaped me. It meant saying goodbye to certainty, but it also gave me the freedom to rebuild, piece by piece, in new places and new ways. During my lifetime, I’ve lived in three different countries, reinventing myself each time, learning to adapt, and discovering how resilience is built day by day.

Embracing change with love, perspective, and a little sea breeze.

Life Lessons Through Each Reset

Along the way, I faced many moments that forced me to hit reset:

• Resetting after financial setbacks, choosing stability and creativity over fear.\

• Resetting as a single mother, balancing leadership with the messy beauty of family life.

• Resetting when old paths no longer felt right, daring to try new ones even without a map.

• Resetting in each new country, navigating cultural shifts, and finding my ground again.

At first, I thought success was about pushing harder, achieving more, and keeping everything under control. But through each twist and turn, I discovered something deeper: true strength isn’t in holding on, it’s in knowing when to stop, breathe, and reset your mindset.

Why I Created The Reset Project on how to hit reset in life

That’s why I started The Reset Project, not because I had everything figured out, but because I know what it’s like to stand in the middle of change, searching for clarity.

My passion is helping others see that a reset isn’t about starting over; it’s about realigning with what matters most, gaining focus, and creating space for new possibilities.

How to hit reset in life is about efficiency, saving time and energy by getting back on track instead of continuing down a path that no longer aligns with your goals, your values, or who you are becoming.

A Space for Reflection and Growth

This blog is my way of sharing that journey, the lessons, the stories, the honest reflections. I hope that something here inspires you to embrace your own life transition with courage and clarity, and reminds you that you’re not alone.

You, too, can hit reset and create meaningful, lasting change when life calls for it.

Thanks for being here, and welcome to this space.

With perspective, hope, and clarity,
