Prologue — pages 5–11

It’s hard to take myself back to the moment I heard the voice whisper that change was needed. Not because of how traumatic the situation was or that my subconscious has blocked it from memory. But because of how far removed I am from that version of Victoria now, who was empty of self-worth and lost in a sea of "why am I never enough?"

The voice came to me on the fifth day of hiding away from the world under my duvet, unable to eat or sleep, sinking deeper into the mattress when I knew I should be sinking deeper into the joys of life.

Meeting myself at the unravelling

It was March 2024, and I had struggled to make my way out of the quicksand of yet another failed situationship—those non-committal connections between two people, where chemistry is mixed with the potential for someone to be burnt by the sparks that originally formed.

In this story, I was the one left tending to the burns.

At first, those burns felt like the golden hour sunset, warming the skin as we laughed away our days together.

As soon as we met, the connection was instant. But he met me at a point where self-loathing diluted any trace of self-love, and the fallout from that was a lack of boundaries and gratitude for the tiniest slither of affection.

Before long, the sunset warmth began to burn. I had to retreat and finally acknowledge the self-inflicted wounds I couldn’t ignore anymore.

In that bed I lay, scared to cut the cord to him, when I was barely hanging on by a thread. I had muted everyone but him, shutting out real love, replacing red hearts with red flags.

As I sit and write, I want to take this younger Victoria in my arms and squeeze her with reassurance. This wasn’t rejection. It was a divine redirection. A turning point. A rock bottom starting point where I could find my feet again, steady myself, and propel myself in the only direction left. Upwards.

It wasn’t his rejection that was the catalyst for the most transformative reset of my life. But it was the final nail in the coffin. The familiar feeling of unworthiness that I’d become so used to, was bubbling on the surface. To the point where I couldn’t ignore it any longer.

This was where the unraveling began.

My life at that point was fine. But surely fine wasn’t a word I wanted to use to describe this one and only life I was creating.

I knew I’d been living out of alignment with my core values for months, if not years, and I deeply craved more. I wanted to feel excited about the future. I was fast approaching my 40th birthday, and in that bed, deep in the mattress where I was sinking, I knew I wanted to enter this new decade with a feeling of possibility—not one of being in the back seat, detached from the steering wheel of my life.

I didn’t know it then, but that moment of unravelling was the moment Future Me first took my hand.

This had to be a bigger shift than cleaning the house and buying a new notebook. It needed to be soul-deep. So over the space of 18 months I stripped every single area of my life, from health to money, relationships to self, home, business, and beyond, right back to the bones. And then, piece by piece, I began to rebuild my life in alignment with who I truly wanted to be.

I released old habits and intentionally chose ones that served my Future Self. I said a final farewell to relationships that no longer fit the reality I was creating. I worked through limiting beliefs that had kept me stuck in energetic limbo for years. I uncovered the root of the low self-worth that had shaped so many choices over the years.

I created a new identity. I reset in every way possible. The transformation wasn’t just visible in the mirror. It radiated in the energy I brought to each day, in the way I showed up for myself, and in how effortlessly the manifestations on my vision board began flowing into my life.

The result of this reset includes being in the healthiest body I’ve experienced in over a decade after releasing 70lbs, more financial abundance than ever before flow into my life, a business that continues to welcome aligned opportunities, deeper connections with friends and family, and—most powerfully of all—a true acceptance and love for myself that I’ve never experienced until now.

It didn’t happen overnight. But the small daily shifts I committed to created a powerful compound effect. Until one morning, I woke up and realized that I was living in true alignment with my Future Self.

The outcome?

• Clarity over the direction of my life
• Alignment from my body to bank account, business, and more
• A renewed sense of purpose in both my life and business
• Resilience to keep going when challenges arise, as they naturally will
• Confidence in who I am and what I stand for
• Self-trust, where the promises I make to myself are kept
• Deepened self-love, understanding not just how to be loved, but how to love
• Heightened manifesting powers and a magnetic energy that is undeniable

Introducing The RESET Formula™

From this journey, I developed The RESET Formula™—a framework built on everything I uncovered, tested, healed and embodied during this life reset, in a bid to help others create a life that feels truly theirs.

The ingredients of this formula are:

• R—Reflection
• E—Energetic Realignment
• S—Self
• E—Embodiment
• T—Thrive

Each pillar holds a key piece in your transformation. And as you move through this book—embracing the stories, tools, journal prompts, and techniques—my biggest hope is that you step into the version of you you’ve always dreamed of being.

Yes, I want you to return home to yourself, but I also want you to learn how to embody your vision board self so those dreams of yours turn into plans, and ultimately manifest into a living reality.

In Chapter One, we start with Reflection—the place where real change begins. Together, we’ll take stock of where you are right now with a powerful Life Audit. You’ll uncover what’s weighing you down, what’s no longer aligned, and what might be quietly draining your energy.

Next, we shift into Energetic Realignment—your energetic spring clean. Here, you’ll declutter not just your physical space but your mental and spiritual environments too. You’ll learn how to clear the noise and create space for your manifestations to land. Because in order to receive what you’re calling in, you need to first become a match for it.

From there, we deepen into Self—the heartbeat of The RESET Formula™. We focus on building rock-solid self-worth, self-forgiveness, self-trust, self-discovery, self-love, and finally, self-devotion. You’ll explore the concept of dating yourself, romanticizing your day to day, and tuning into your intuition.

With a renewed sense of self, we move into Embodiment—the integration phase of your reset. This is where you step into your Future Self energy. You’ll install habits that align with your next-level identity, create daily embodiment rituals, and discover embodiment tools to reprogram your subconscious so that showing up as your most magnetic self becomes second nature.

And finally, we arrive at Thrive—where all your inner work becomes your outer reality. In this chapter, we’ll focus on staying aligned, sustaining momentum, and navigating the inevitable ups and downs of life without losing your footing. This is where you’ll discover a menu of reset rituals, from ideas to reset throughout the day to resetting according to the seasons.

I believe with every cell in my body that the Universe delivers the catalyst for change when change is needed most, whether it arrives as a life-altering event, a subtle nudge or in the shape of a tall, handsome, emotionally unavailable lesson. Even if you don’t feel quite ready to dip your toes into the water, the Universe might just push you in anyway.

Prepare yourself. Because over the course of these pages—and the months that follow—your life may shift in the most incredible ways. As if we were descending to the top of a rollercoaster, I need you to hold on tight right about now.

Introduction: Why we reset — page 13

For some, a reset is found in the comfort of fresh sheets on a Sunday night and a color-coded calendar for the week ahead. For others, the impact is greater. It’s a complete unravelling; a calling to dismantle life as it is, tend to the cracks of unalignment, and rebuild piece by piece.

Regardless of what season of life we find ourselves in, whether you’re simply having an off-week or feeling the pull to pack up and move to a new city entirely, the desire to reset is deeply wired into human psychology—tapping into our innate desire for reinvention and self-improvement.
