The Modern Phoenix

Gervase is getting publicly therapized this week with soul mate and licensed professional counselor Chelsea Green. Chelsea speaks such wisdom about how the systems that we are surrounded by as children, translate into our adult life. The conversation is sprinkled with mic drop moment after mic drop moment from the choices that women, and individuals face everyday to how we can calibrate our roles in the patriarchal society.  In this episode, we talk about: The patterns we perpetuate as adults that stem from what was deemed “normal” to us as part of our nuclear family Why and how roles (parent, daughter, wife) develop within systems and an exercise for introducing flexibility to your capacity to step in and out of your rigid roles How we trick ourselves into associating comfort with control The traumatized parts of us that developed in reaction to the way we were raised Chelsea is a Licensed Professional Counselor providing integrative mental health therapy in Charleston, SC. Her therapy practices specializes in working with adults, couples, and families in the midst of life transitions, relationship stress, trauma recovery, family systems, anxiety, depression, and stress. She is also a family constellation group facilitator and a visual artist who merges her many talents to curate transformative experiences.

Gervase put back on her Champagne Society moderator hat in this conversation with new mom friend and NYC-based entrepreneur, Amri Kibler. Amri is the CEO of HeyMama and has been building a powerful community for mothers while also raising (wild) small humans, so we talk everything from the ride of motherhood and the four steps we believe mothers can collectively take to empower and improve the current state of the modern mother’s mental load and workplace bias. In this episode, we talk about: Our parallel experiences as mama community builders, ambitious women creating our own communities and real AF moms who have screamed at our kids right before putting them on the bus The internal narratives mothers are carrying around right now (hint: self-doubt is a big one) The current work of modern mothers to understand their OWN value and then share that perspective at home and work The four steps we believe mothers can collectively take to empower and improve the current state of the modern mother’s mental load and workplace bias. Amri Kibbler is a mom of two. After launching HeyMama on a shoe string budget in 2014, she led the brand's community from a small instagram account to one of the world's largest working moms communities. Prior to founding HeyMama, she spent more than 10 years as an editor and stylist creating content focused on building women's confidence and self worth  for major publications, including Glamour Magazine and Cosmopolitan. Amri leads HeyMama’s community, membership team and all event programming.

On this solo episode, G is responding to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas (and the several in the week since), with a perspective (we often overlook) she believes can set a new standard for changing the world and your life. The It’s All Me framework reminds us that YOU are the solution. Your awakening and connection to Self is THE answer to strong and sustainable change. Any change you wish to create in the world must first start inside you . . . then in your home, then in your immediate circles. The systems that profit from our powerlessness, overwhelm and disconnection do not want us to pause. So we set a new standard again . . . and we PAUSE. Email us any follow-up questions to G from this episode to hi@gervasekolmos.com.

I sat down with my wise and thoughtful friend Katie Ashley, another Charleston, SC local, to hear her takeaways from the seasons and cycles of the past few years as I know she is someone who embodies the #ItsAllMeMindset beautifully. Katie brings her lived wisdom to this conversation and shares it through her unique lens of her therapeutic yoga training and Chinese medicine, plus her personal experience with surfing. In this episode, we talk about: The cycles (or cyclones) of being a woman, mother or entrepreneur  How Katie keeps herself at the center of her life’s experiences. #itsallmemindset Earth lessons, samskaras and giving ourselves grace to be in the process How we were both reluctant nature lovers🙈, even though it connected us to the inherent magic in the cyclical nature of seasons, tides, and our human experience. How Katie faced a deathly fear of the ocean to cultivate self-trust and lean into her true desire to be a surfer The incredible metaphor that surfing provides for a modern woman mastering her balance of the masculine and feminine. More about Katie: Katie Ashley offers individualized movement therapy in her downtown studio space in Charleston, SC. These sessions include a blend of functional movement, equipment based Pilates, Katonah Yoga, Buddhist meditation philosophies and practices, hands on Thai yoga therapy techniques, and a good dose of Traditional Chinese Medicine themes and classical yoga philosophies. She is the author of the book, Living Life On Purpose, and is the resident yoga teacher at the Feminist Magic Market that occurs in the cozy backyard of Itinerate Literate Books in North Charleston. She teaches weekly yoga classes at Yoloha Yoga Factory on James Island and offers workshops wherever she’s invited.

In this episode, I had the joy of chatting with a fellow champion and connector of women with a big message and a beautiful platform. Natalie Kovarik is pioneering a new conversation around Agriculture and ranching & reconnecting more city girls (like G) to the beauty and importance of connecting to your food.   In this episode we talk about: The BTS of growing up on and running a family ranch How marriage & relationship fears can manifest for women in completely different walks of life, and why you shouldn’t let that discourage you.  What being a “ranch wife” really means.  The power of women coming together in intimate retreats.  The importance of reconnecting to our food and Natalie’s message of why agriculture & the food industry are not black and white, but a complicated web.  And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, why AG (agriculture) is NOT the problem If you are ready to feel empowered to use your voice to advocate for what you believe in, listen to this powerful conversation! More about Natalie: From the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills, Natalie Kovarik shares her ranching and familying story online to showcase the beauty behind the western lifestyle as well as foster a community who supports and trusts in Agricultural as much as she does. She and her husband own and operate Kovarik Cattle Co, a cow calf operation with a growing registered herd, and she spends most of her days collecting meaningful moments on the ranch bouncing around in a dusty old tractor or out in pasture on horseback. With roots firmly planted in the ranching community, she uses her platform to not only tell the truth behind Agriculture, but also empower and teach women in Rural/Ag/Western Communities how to build a social platform and successfully advocate online.
