Resilience & Entrepreneurship: Matthew Stern’s Journey from Bankruptcy at 17 to Purpose-Driven Success

What does it really take to rise from rock bottom and create a life you don’t want to escape? In this episode of Hold My Purse: A Self-Care Journey Through Life, Rho sits down with entrepreneur and leader Matthew Stern to talk resilience, purpose, and alignment.

From losing everything at 17 to building purpose-driven businesses in health and wellness, Matthew’s story is a masterclass in grit, perseverance, and redefining success. He opens up about surviving financial collapse, navigating depression, and discovering that true success comes not from money alone, but from freedom, harmony, and showing up fully for yourself and the people you love.

Here are a few takeaways you’ll walk away with:

• Resilience is built by proving to yourself daily that you are capable of more than you ever imagined.
• Purpose fuels perseverance. When your why is strong enough, you won’t quit.
• Harmony, not balance, is the key to showing up for yourself, your family, and your work.
• Protecting your energy starts with creating space just for you, every single day.
