These 60-second resets give you back enough nervous-system space to think clearly again.
But interruption isn’t the same like as alignment.
GENIE Midlife Reset Lab is a 5-module, self-paced course for EU-based expats who look successful on paper - but feel misaligned inside.
Inside, you’ll build a repeatable system to:
> Recognize the spiral early (before it costs you weeks)
> Relinquish outdated roles, “shoulds,” and success definitions you’ve outgrown
> Retune your inner compass (values, needs, direction)
> Repeat micro-practices that actually stick in real expat life
> Revitalize your energy, confidence, and next-chapter momentum
These short practices are designed to help you reset your state, interrupt stress early, and regain clarity in under a minute. They’re evidence-informed techniques you can use in real moments -not theory.
