The January Reset

New year, new goals and more often than not, new pressure.
January is full of goals and resolutions, but it’s also where many people get stuck on what’s actually next.
For many of us, this is where overwhelm kicks in - not because we lack motivation, but because we lack clarity.
The January Reset is a free, community-based hackathon for women and non-binary folx designed to help you slow down your thinking, identify what’s really underneath the overwhelm and map a grounded, practical 60-day path forward.
Most January advice assumes you can think clearly on your own.

The January Community Hackathon brings a small group together to work through this together collectively. You’ll be guided through a clear method for slowing down your thinking, identifying the real question your asking yourself for the change you want to make- helping you to clear the overwhelm. This session is built on the idea that clarity often emerges in conversation, not isolation. You’ll be in a space to learn from how others are approaching similar challenges and even leave with new friends and an ability to try a new way forward.
WHAT MAKES THIS A HACKATHON
This is not a coding competition.
In this context, hacking means:

• Breaking down complex questions
• Working collaboratively in small groups
• Testing ways of thinking rather than aiming for perfection

You’ll be guided through a clear, structured method that helps you:

• Identify the real question you’re asking yourself
• Cut through the noise and pressure
• Explore next steps that feel realistic and aligned

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN
By taking part, you will:

• Learn a practical framework for working through uncertainty
• Experience thinking things through with others instead of alone
• Gain tools you can return to whenever you feel stuck again
• Leave with a method for identifying clearer priorities, reflections and next steps

For some, this may look like the beginnings of a plan.
For others, it may be clarity about what needs more time.
Both are valuable outcomes, the point is to help you come up with something to try.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This is for you if:

• You feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about your next step
• You want clarity without hustle or performative goal-setting
• You’re open to reflecting and working things through with others

You’re welcome to come with a specific idea or question — or none at all.
Each group will decide how they “hack” their time together.
ABOUT THE SERIES
