60: The Phoenix Phase: When Everything You Built Ends… and What Comes Next

About this episode

Diane Ortega reflects on the transitional phase of life where something ends and new beginnings emerge, discussing the feelings of disconnection and the process of transformation.

Something in your life doesn’t feel the same anymore. Not in a dramatic way…but enough that you can feel it. In this episode, I’m sharing a more personal reflection on a season I’m currently walking through , where something I built is coming to an end… and something new is beginning to take shape. We talk a lot about the “phoenix rising” moment- the strength, the clarity, the transformation. But what about the part where everything burns? What about the in-between? The space where you can’t go back… but you’re not fully sure what’s next. If you’ve been feeling off, disconnected, or like something no longer fits… this conversation will meet you there. Mentioned in this episode If this resonated with you…I’d love to invite you into a deeper conversation.
