Midwife Life: Midwifing you through health, motherhood, and the sacred mess of life’s transformations with Diane Ortega

34: Midwifing Your Life: The Sacred Model for Personal Transformation


Listen Later

What if you could move through your next life transition like a birth — held, supported, and deeply trusted?

In this powerful episode, Diane invites you into the Midwifing Your Life framework — a model of transformation rooted in the wisdom of midwifery. Whether you're starting something new, navigating the messy middle, or releasing what no longer fits, this episode is for you.

You’ll explore:

  • Why birth is the ultimate metaphor for personal growth
  • The difference between hustling and healing
  • How to recognize what this season of your life is truly asking of you
  • Journal prompts to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom
  • What it looks like to be midwifed through your becoming — not pushed, not fixed, but held
  • This isn’t about productivity.

    This is about presence.
    This is about becoming — with grace, courage, and support.


    Journal Prompts from the Episode:

    Light a candle. Take a breath. Reflect on these:

    1. What is this season of your life really asking of you?

    2. What kind of support are you craving—but not currently receiving?

    3. What would it feel like to be held, instead of holding it all?

    4. Who are you becoming… if you stopped hustling and started healing?


    Listen to this if you're…

    • In a season of transition, reinvention, or rebirth
    • Craving clarity, connection, and softer support
    • Tired of hustling and longing for something deeper
    • Ready to explore a new way of being in your life
