The Modern Phoenix

This week, G brings one of her teachers to the pod—a fellow mom of 3 who also happens to be a Priestess, Sarah Jenks. In this conversation, G excitedly quizzes Sarah on the definitions of and historical context of layer upon layer of the internalized patriarchy of the modern woman.  If you’ve wanted a deeper understanding of the Sacred Feminine, the patriarchy, the stories of Mary Magdalene or what it means to be in “ceremony,” this episode will go beyond informative and activate resonance. Listen in to learn what happens when women remember the untold stories of the empowered, magical and wealthy female archetypes that lived during Jesus’ time and re-integrate their souls as modern day holy women. In this episode Gervase and Sarah discuss:   {16:30} – The various definitions and types of “ceremony” available today {17:20} - How all the sacred feminine lineages are “remembered” because they were all deliberately erased #boom {18} How she uses her priestess training (and physics) to create a coherent energetic field {20} Sarah’s definition of the ‘Sacred Feminine”  {21:47} The full body, emotional reaction G experienced after learning about the Sacred Feminine {32} The way the patriarchy removed women from their power and convinced them their natural magic was “evil” {39:30} Why we can’t fight for abortion rights or better gun laws until we are internally free #itsallmemindset [41:30] The radical notion that Jesus’ mother AND wife were not who the Bible says they were   Sarah Jenks is a Priestess and Founder of a Global Sacred Feminine Temple. Her sacred practice and teachings weave together the mysteries of Ancient Avalon, Earth-based practices of her Celtic and Germanic ancestry, the Feminine Path of Mary Magdalene, and the Ancient Egyptian practices of Anointing. Sarah offers live experiences, courses and community that are grounded in unveiling your true power and mission so that you can create the life you're meant to live.

In this third episode of the newest, uncut series of the podcast, G is coming to you from wherever the F she finds herself to share an aspect of mother-ing that has her saying, “What in the actual . . .?!”  Because it’s always nice to feel less alone in the clusterfuck that is life. Gervase is dropping in from the parking lot of a hair salon to share ways to navigate the hard, the human, and the straight up WTFs of over-giving to our children.    Here’s a WTF gem, straight from G herself:My goal as a mom is to really equip my children with the emotional resilience and tenacity to understand that their feelings are great, that they should feel them all, let it out. I want them to know I'm holding space for them, and also that they don’t get to blame those feelings on me. They don’t get to take and take and take from me until I have nothing left. That is not the model I want to give to my children.    We as mothers need to hear that just because we know how to nurture does not mean that we have to be a punching bag. It takes work and it takes time, but once we’re able to understand our tendency to over-give, to really look at the reasons why we’re over-extending ourselves, that’s when we’re able to operate with a sovereign boundary: a boundary that allows us to continue to give from a place of love rather than resentment, taking care of our loved ones while also loving ourselves.   Love you so much.

On this week’s solo episode, Gervase is digging into the programming most of us have that tells us everything is equally important.   When we decide we’re no longer available to do it all, it all shifts. When we trade doing everything for ONLY doing the things in our zone of genius, the result is freedom to finally focus on what’s actually important to you.   In this episode G shares: How you can start to honor your true self and edit ruthlessly all that has not been serving you.   How to apply this mindset to partnership, motherhood or entrepreneurship How to decide what is an emergency and what you have been brainwashed to believe is an emergency.   This is the inspiration for Legacy!  It is the innerwork that you will receive if you join us.   Give voice, vision, time, energy and money to the life, legacy and identity that is in your heart to live.     You run a tiny universe! STOP doing it all. Be MORE YOU while doing what matters most!   Work with Gervase Doors are open for LEGACY—a four-week group coaching program for the modern mother. Instead of trying to do it all, be more you while doing what matters most. This program will first make it easy for your subconscious to allow more ease, abundance and joy than the mothers who came before you. Making choices and to do lists will become intuitive, impactful and easy.
