Life isn’t supposed to feel this hard all the time.

Let’s fix it together.

You don’t need a new life.

You just need a reset that helps you find your way back to yourself.

You’ve been holding everything together for everyone else, and somewhere along the way, you lost sight of yourself.

Maybe you’re sandwiched between your kids, your partner, and your parents, juggling all the invisible work that keeps everyone else afloat.

Maybe you’ve just come through a hard season and you’re ready to move forward, but you’re not sure what “forward” even looks like anymore.

Or maybe you’ve spent years filtering your choices through everyone else’s needs and woke up wondering, when do I get to matter, too?

You don’t need another motivational quote or a color-coded planner.
You need space. Guided, structured space to reset, realign, and rebuild a plan that actually fits your life.

Because clarity isn’t found in the chaos.

It’s built in the pause, when you step back, breathe, and remember what’s yours.

A vacation helps you rest and recharge your body.

A Goalcation helps you reset and reprioritize your life.

A vacation and a goalcation share the same principle: step out of the day-to-day, reflect on what matters, and return refreshed and re-centered.

Only this time, you’re not just unpacking a suitcase, you’re unpacking your goals, values, and the systems that support them.

Most people treat change like a New Year’s resolution: big energy, no structure, and zero follow-through once life speeds back up.

That’s why the Quarterly Reset Challenge isn’t a one-time workshop. It’s a rhythm. A quarterly drumbeat that keeps you aligned and moving forward, one season at a time.

Every 90 days, you pause long enough to see what’s working, what’s not, and what matters next, before the chaos decides for you.

My process works because it’s built for real life.

You’re not chasing balance. You’re building alignment.

You’re not relying on motivation. You’re setting up systems that make action easier.

You’re not starting over. You’re evolving with intention.

Each Reset brings you back to center. Clearer, calmer, and more in control than before.

The Quarterly Reset Challenge

Three days. One hour a day. A grounded plan for what’s next.

This live, guided clarity retreat helps you pause, reflect, and reset.

A reset for your mind, your systems, and your daily life.

In three days, we’ll:

Reconnect your goals with your real values
Define a 90-day focus that makes sense for the season you’re in
Build simple systems that make progress feel seamless, not stressful

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about alignment.
You’ll leave with a plan that fits the real you (not the autopilot version of you who’s been running on fumes).

By the end of the three days, you'll:

Feel grounded in what matters most
Create a 90-day focus plan that honors your real life
Build supportive systems that make progress automatic
Stop “shoulding” all over yourself and start saying no with confidence
Rediscover your sense of calm, purpose, and direction

Because you don’t need to overhaul your life.
You need to realign it.

How It Works

We’ll reset in four simple steps — the same rhythm every quarter:

Get Clear on What You Want (and Where You Are)
Step back from the noise. Take stock of your current reality and reconnect to what truly matters.

Define Your 90-Day Focus
Choose the single goal or area that will make the biggest difference right now and map out the actions that move it forward.

Define Success and Track It
Decide what progress looks like for you. Set up small, visible checkpoints so you know when you’re on track (and when to adjust).

Build Systems for Consistency
Create supports and structures that make consistent action easier, so progress becomes your new normal.

Each challenge follows this same pattern every 90 days, helping you reflect, refocus, and realign without burning out.

Hi, I'm Dr. Mary Barnes.

My clients tell me I’m the calm in their chaos. The person who helps them see what’s really happening and find their way back to center.

As a consultant, educator, and researcher in human and organizational learning, I’ve spent over twenty years helping people and teams turn chaos

into clarity.

But more importantly? I know what it feels like to lose yourself in the noise.
And I know how powerful a pause can be in helping you find your way back to yourself.

That’s what this Reset is all about: a guided space to step back, breathe, and chart a path that supports the life you actually want.

Here's what you get when you join the Quarterly Reset Challenge:

3 live 60-minute sessions over three consecutive days
Replay access + AI summaries (available for 48 hours after the final session)
A guided framework for aligning goals, values, and systems
Private community space for reflection, wins, and support
Live coaching + Q&A each day to keep you moving forward

Your Investment: $147.

Three hours to realign your goals, reset your systems, and find your true north.

Too busy for three hours?
That’s exactly why this exists. You deserve time to breathe, think, and design a life that runs smoother when it speeds back up.

Worried you'll miss a session?
You’ll have 48 hours after the final day to catch up with the replays and summaries. No stress, no pressure.

Afraid you’ll slip back into old patterns?
This isn’t about forcing change. It’s about building systems that make alignment your new default. Imagine if you made a little progress on your goals, every day for the next 90 days. You'd be in a much different place than you are today. You owe it to yourself to get aligned and take the time to plan.

Not sure you’re ready?
Start smaller. The Coffee Break Kickstart gives you 15 minutes a day to clear mental clutter and create the space you’ll need for your next full Reset.

Life isn’t supposed to feel like a struggle for survival.
It’s meant to feel like yours.

You’ve carried everyone else long enough.
It’s time to carry yourself with intention, clarity, and care.

That’s the Quarterly Reset Challenge.

Your chance to pause with purpose, reset your direction, and start your next 90 days aligned and ready.
