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.
