Client Story - Loving Your Polarizing Traits with Sophia Prater

Mindset
Written By Ember29 (Sophie)

Gervase invites friend and client Sophia Prater on the podcast this week to discuss Sophia’s journey from an overwhelmed, ambitious entrepreneur trying to be palatable for everyone to a woman who embraces and feels safe to to be her full self. Join the conversation as they share their personal experiences with redefining hyper-independence, how Sophia practices playing within the range of her polarizing traits instead of labeling them ‘wrong’ or ‘right,’ and how the work they’ve done together inside of the Higher Mastermind is really every woman’s work.

Sophia is an entrepreneur, business owner, career coach, and public speaker in the world of User Experience (UX) design, making technology a little more humane for the rest of the world. Sophia has brought her framework to companies such as Facebook, Google, Uber, HelloFresh, Delta Airlines, Microsoft, Adobe and many more.

Why Permission is Where Healing Begins
Mindset

On this week’s solo episode of the IAM podcast, Gervases seizes inspiration from a recent client interaction, discussing how patterns of disempowerment have left many women with the sneaky survival strategy of hyper-vigilance around the needs of others, and how permission, resource, and pleasure can allow us to bring more regulated versions of ourselves forward to meet life’s initiations. Listen in for questions that will help you begin to uncover what gives you life, what’s blocking you from your pleasure, and how you can accept permission to wake up and reclaim who you are instead of who you think everyone needs you to be.

Join Gervase this week on the It’s All Me podcast as she shares how important the practice of resourcing has become in her life, especially in times of stress, like her recent bout with Covid during “Back to School’ season.

Keep listening to hear how this widely underestimated way of womaning allows you to be more efficient with your time and energy, so that you can feel better as you live, rather than collapsing in burnout and despair on your way to “better things.”
