Should I Have a Baby? My Answer (and what I believe you’re really asking)

Marriage
Written By Gervase Kolmos

Are you teetering between a hell yes and a hell no when it comes to having children? On this episode of the podcast, Gervase explains how this is linked to self-trust, using a recent conversation with a client to explore reflections you can use to make decisions in your own life. Join Gervase as she discusses the importance of shifting from an external to an internal focus, becoming a safe container for self, and what that looks like in a world that is constantly sending mixed signals.

What if the key to breaking through relationship conflicts isn’t in the talking but in the listening… to your body? In this episode, Gervase reveals how shifting from mind-based strategies to somatic and soul approaches (read: dropping out of the mind and into the body) transformed a weeks-long rupture in her marriage into a moment of deep connection and repair. Listen in as she shares her struggles with “circling the drain” with repetitive arguments, how the mind can get in the way of reconciliation, and the power of the body in moving through relationship stalemates. Keep listening for questions you can ask yourself to explore the practice of dropping into your body wisdom, and for a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always come from trying harder but from thinking differently.

You’ll discover why ruminating and gaslighting are trauma-based activation responses, and how leaning into body wisdom and the practice of resourcing can give you exactly what you need - the permission to be human, which will power a sense of ease, flow and creativity in your life.
