The Cocoon Stage: Where You Lose and Find Yourself

In this episode, Nathaly & Juliana, discuss what we like to describe as "The Cocoon Stage" the messy, quiet, often lonely part. The part where everything feels like it’s shifting—your identity, your priorities, your relationships, even your body and mind. It’s the stage where you’re wrapped up in routines, doubts, sleepless nights, and the invisible labor no one applauds.

But it’s also where the transformation happens. Growth, healing, shedding old skin. It’s uncomfortable because you’re becoming. And no butterfly skips the cocoon.

So if you’re in the thick of it—wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again—remember: You’re not stuck. You’re transforming.

This isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of your wings.
