What does it look like to own your story? On this episode of the It’s All Me podcast Gervase introduces us to her former client and longtime community member Stephanie Jiroch, an expert on helping others craft stories that stand out while being true to themselves. Listen in as they discuss how they each broke up with their own ‘good girl’ complex on the path to radical authenticity, through pain, grief, mistakes and an it’s all me mindset.

Stephanie Jiroch is the founder and CEO of Story Leadership Institute, a company dedicated to supporting emerging leaders and purpose-driven companies communicate their big ideas through the power of story. Stephanie is pursuing her Ph.D. in Brand Psychology with an emphasis on digital identity development, investigating the self-presentation habits of mothers on Instagram.

It’s not uncommon to hear people talking about ‘unleashing the wild woman,’ but the next question is - then what? On this episode of the It’s All Me podcast, Gervase sits down with Mandy Burstein to discuss their journeys of finding safe and healthy ways to express generationally suppressed emotions, the healing experience of embracing the duality of death and grief, and what has been healing for them as mothers rewriting their own traumas and triggers while simultaneously being the blueprint for their children. Listen in for a behind the scenes look at the experiences provided at their previous retreat held in Sayulita, Mexico.

Mandy Burstein is a teacher of yoga, mindfulness and transformational breathwork who is passionate about lovingly pushing people beyond their comfort zones to discover how strong, beautiful and powerful they truly are.

What happens when a dreamer and a realist get married?
