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

44: Rebirth — The Missing Phase


Listen Later

What if this isn’t burnout?

What if it’s rebirth?


This episode reframes exhaustion, confusion, and emotional unraveling not as failure, but as a necessary initiation into becoming.

Diane unpacks:

  • Why women feel dismantled during identity transitions
  • How this phase mirrors postpartum, wintering, and cocooning
  • The difference between burnout and sacred shedding
  • What happens when we stop resisting the pause
  • How rebirth creates clarity, depth, and inner authority
  • This episode is for you if:

    • You feel disconnected from who you used to be
    • You’re craving slowness but feel guilty
    • You sense a quiet becoming within
    • You know something is shifting but can’t name it yet
    • Reflection Questions:

      • What is being released in this season?
      • What part of me is asking for rest?
      • What would it feel like to trust this pause?
      • Stay close for the next episode as we explore the wisdom of stillness and the power of honoring the in-between.
