I’m Talya Pardo Ricardo — founder of Phoenix Rising Collective.

My work sits at the intersection of emotional resilience, communication, leadership, systems thinking, and operational coordination. Whether I’m supporting individuals through personal growth or helping business owners create greater structure and clarity behind the scenes, the heart of my work remains the same: helping people move from overwhelm and reactivity toward more intentional, sustainable ways of living and leading.

My professional background spans leadership, education, entrepreneurship, operations, event coordination, emotional resilience work, and community building. Over the years, I’ve built and managed my own business, coordinated large-scale projects and events, worked behind the scenes inside entrepreneurial environments, and supported people through communication challenges, emotional growth, conflict, and major life transitions.

Like many people I work with, my own path has not been linear.

My journey into emotional resilience and self-leadership came through lived experience: navigating burnout, overwhelm, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, rebuilding after difficult seasons, and learning firsthand what it means to create healthier patterns, stronger boundaries, and a more grounded relationship with myself.

That experience deeply shaped both my coaching work and the way I approach operational support today.

Because over time, I began noticing something important:

Whether in life or business, people often struggle not because they lack intelligence, capability, or vision — but because they are carrying too much alone.

Too many moving pieces. Too much mental load. Too much living inside their own head.

And so much of my work now centers around helping create greater clarity, structure, communication, resilience, and sustainable support — both personally and professionally.

Phoenix Rising Collective is an evolving space that brings together emotional resilience, education, executive coordination, operational support, and human-centered leadership under one umbrella.

At its core, this work is about helping people build lives and businesses that feel more grounded, intentional, and sustainable from the inside out.
