EP:59 Staying with the Healing: Maureen Ortega’s Story of Survival and Strength

from The School of Hard Knocks · host Darcie Burtch

In this deeply honest episode of The School of Hard Knocks, Maureen Ortega shares her life journey with remarkable openness—from childhood abuse to the loss of a baby, divorce, a devastating house fire, and the quiet, ongoing work of healing.This is not a story about being “fully healed,” but about staying with the process, choosing resilience, and learning how to keep moving forward even when life keeps taking. A powerful reminder that healing doesn’t have a finish line—and you don’t have to walk it alone.If you have questions or would like to be on the show, you can reach me at [email protected]
