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.

In this week’s solo episode of the It’s All Me podcast, Gervase walks us through her lived experience of resourcing and holding space for the duality of being okay in the midst of chaos or stress without shame or blame. Listen in as she talks about acknowledging the range of your experience by feeling your feelings fully without judgment, why you don’t need to skip to the silver lining, and how to notice when you are gaslighting yourself. Keep listening to hear how to create safety within yourself, to resource and heal in community without putting the obligation on someone else, and how her trauma-informed practice of focalizing helps her and her clients heal themselves, their lineages, and honor all felt emotions - even when life is not okay.

This week on the It’s All Me podcast, Gervase drops in with a personal, real-life example of what embodiment means and how she is teaching it to her children. Listen in as she shares how she turned the boring, dreaded milestone of swallowing pills into a fun practice of embodiment for her daughters and how life can change if we can learn to anchor into safety, community, love, and self-trust instead of into experiences of fear and shame.

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.

Dropping in this week with a solo episode, Gervase shares the impact of embracing life’s uncertainty without shaming the choices or plans you’ve made based on previous conditioning. Listen in to hear how shaming can block you from accessing your feminine energy, as well as how bringing compassion and curiosity into the mix can release you from conditioning, into the practice of bringing your whole humanity online.
