The money can come back. The question is: will you?Prit lost over half a million dollars. What followed wasn't just a financial crisis — it was a full reckoning with the patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies that had been running her life long before the loss happened.In this conversation, we trace the arc from overwhelm and self-blame to something far more powerful: a grounded, embodied relationship with money, trust, and her own authority. We talk about what it actually takes to stop abandoning yourself under pressure — and what becomes possible when you do.This is a story about money. It's also a story about what it means to come home to yourself.“There was a lot of shame because I’m supposed to know better and do better—and I felt like I had failed again.”--Pritranjan Hothi“What if nothing has gone wrong—and your money story is simply asking you to come back to yourself?” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Episode introduction and preview of Prit's story02:10 Prit's breaking point: why she sought help03:07 Discovering Relaxed Money and first impressions04:44 How Prit lost money: investments, scams and choices07:48 Nervous‑system healing, health and personal transformation12:20 Early practical results: daily habits, family and housing changes19:36 Business impact: clarity, revamp and future plans21:32 Closing remarks and how to connect with PritLinks and Resources:The Recalibration Field GuideThe Big Money Decision MatrixConnect with Pritranjan Hothi:InstagramEmail✨ Ready for Income That Actually Builds Something?If you're capable, ambitious, and earning well — but your financial life still feels like something you have to hold together — this one's for you.The free Recalibration Field Guide is a diagnostic companion to the Recalibration Series here on Plenty.
