We live in an always-on, be more, do more world and it’s become harder than ever to disconnect from the day-to-day and reconnect with ourselves.
We crave escapes to far-off places so we can rest and recharge, find adventure and discovery, and take a break from the daily grind.
We obsess over productivity, status, and improvement, rarely even asking why.
Busyness, consumerism, news, and social media all add to the noise that’s drowning out the signal.
Meanwhile, we spend much of our lives teetering on the edge of burnout, waiting for big moments like holidays, vacation, deaths, births, or a midlife crisis to recalibrate.
The Reset Ritual is about another way of staying the course…
…a way that research says makes us happier and more productive
…a way that some of the most creative, intelligent people in history lived by
…a way that’s more sustainable, effective, and healthy
The secret? It’s simple: Make space to rest, reflect, and reset on a regular basis.
Our Compass
The Reset Ritual exists to inspire and cultivate:
Mindfulness
Slowing down + savoring the present moment, connecting with ourselves + others
Exploration
Self-discovery, curiosity, play, wandering
Perspective
Listening to our own intuition and learning from cultures around the world
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Katie
I sailed away from conventional life. Literally.
Fresh out of college and primed to pursue an editorial career, I veered from my path to take a gig as a dancer on cruise ships.
My experiences abroad were immediate and exhilarating in all the wonderful ways travel moves people: perspective-broadening, eye-opening, mind-expanding.
My passport’s been stamped many more times since my cruise ship days. But having seen 60+ countries so far, I know it’s not about the number of borders you cross, it’s the wisdom gained from wandering that makes travel so worthwhile.
“It’s the wisdom gained from wandering that makes travel so worthwhile.”
Even though I’m not outbound quite as often these days, it’s the enduring gifts of travel—mindfulness, connection, self-discovery, personal growth, exploration, curiosity, culture—that I want to inspire. No passport needed.
I believe that an enriching escape is the ultimate life-reset button. And it’s that spirit of rejuvenation and renewal that’s at the heart of The Reset Ritual (hence the name!).
With 20+ years of experience as a writer and more than a decade of studying wellbeing and personal development, my main aim is to bring you mindful tools to create your own reset rituals in the everyday.
To your journeys,
Katie
