The Modern Phoenix

Gervase Kolmoswww.gervasekolmos.com
The Modern Phoenix (formerly “It’s All Me”) In a culture that values logic, urgency, perfection, and sameness, The Modern Phoenix walks a different path: one that honors her unique mind, body and soul. Between information overload, the demands of modern life, and lifetimes of conditioning and “shoulds”, it can feel hard for a woman to know and listen to her own wants and needs. We’re so busy caring and doing and anticipating and managing that we forget ourselves. We hope there’s a better, more balanced, life-giving and feminine way to be a modern woman—to have regulated nervous systems, intuitive solutions to complex problems, and the distinct trust in ourselves and our choices, despite life’s curveballs, but we’re not sure where to start. That’s where I come in. I’m Gervase Kolmos, Inner Transformation Coach and phoenix-in-evolution. I help women learn to trust themselves and be guided by their own inner authority to live with pleasure, authenticity and embodied wisdom. This podcast is my mission and my mantra: you are light and dark, thinking and feeling, perfect and a work-in-progress. Together, we’ll unlock your intuition, tap into the wisdom and resources of your body, and navigate this confusing, demanding, gorgeous life. So let’s burn down the stories, conditioning and beliefs that don’t serve us, shall we?

I AM the answer {a response to the Uvalde mass shooting}

I AM learning; never failing

In this solo episode of the pod, Gervase explains why the concept of “right/wrong” “good/bad” and “failure” is total BS and how she approaches it instead. So much of the pressure we put on ourselves to make the “right” decisions in life comes from the idea that making the “wrong” choice equates to failure, and this pressure manifests into suffering, anxiety, not going after our dreams and not putting ourselves first. Which is NOT the #itsallmemindset in action. Gervase shares some stories and ex...

Listen up, busy women - let’s talk soul-care. Not the self-care bs of going out once a week (or month), but actual deep-rooted, nourishing, soul-care.
