Serial Entrepreneur & Coach on Turning Bankruptcy into a Reboot (Resilience, Rituals & Radical Self-Love)
from Hacks and Hobbies with Junaid Ahmed · host Junaid Ahmed
Key takeaways: Bankruptcy as a pivot, not a full stop — how Marianne framed the filing day as “the moment I could move forward.” Two daily practices that change everything: journaling (gratitude + “I love myself”) and meditation/Kundalini yoga. Practical rebuild moves: leverage people skills into new careers — banking, mortgages, recruiting, real estate. Self-care as a strategic asset: boundaries, sleep, and scheduled unplugging to protect creative energy. Get a coach — why an external guide fast-tracks recovery and keeps you in integrity when grief or shame show up.
