ThriveSpace+
A supportive, safe community of people who’ve actually lived through the corporate emotional chaos — and are genuinely here to hype you up, hold space for you, and walk with you as you grow.
Meet our Founder
I Hi! I’m Marianne. Life feels genuinely good these days — full of joy, ease, and actual happiness — but it definitely wasn’t always like this.
I spent almost 20 years deep in the corporate grind, hopping continents and leading high‑stakes global projects that brought millions into Big Four firms. I was the person partners and FTSE100 execs called when things were complex, urgent, or mission‑critical.
But the success came with a price — my wellbeing. Work became my whole identity until it pushed me into exhaustion, detachment, and that heavy, sinking feeling of “I’m doing everything… and somehow still not enough.” That was burnout.
The past year has been a reset — a mix of science-backed research, honest reflection, and rebuilding myself from the inside out.
And when I look around, the numbers are loud: 9 in 10 people in the UK are dealing with extreme stress, and 1 in 5 are taking time off because of it. People are struggling quietly, just like I did.
That’s why I created ThriveSpace+. Too many corporate professionals are carrying emotional weight alone. You’re not meant to do this solo. ThriveSpace+ exists to share practical, science-backed, lived-experience strategies for navigating the corporate emotional load — and to remind you that you’re not alone in it.
