The Modern Phoenix
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?

Meet G: Outgrowing identities and being shiny, happy and human
Episode 1 felt like it needed to be you + me getting to know each other—skipping the surface level nonsense. In this episode I get super honest about my "FFTs" with this podcast and the permanence of it compared to riffing at live events, plus my long history of putting pressure on myself to be shiny and happy all the time. I share my experience as a new mama, as a coach, the growth and the massive authority I've amassed in this field. I've been working on myself for 15 years, been a mindset coach for 6 and ALMOST certified as a hypnotherapist. I've interviewed almost 100 women, I've birthed three babies and I'm just getting started. As long as I keep showing up authentically, even when it’s a little uncomfortable, this podcast can be something of value to absolutely every woman who comes across it. Here's what you can expect in my first solo episode: A little history about my first brand “Shiny. Happy. Human.” and how I've outgrown that name Truth-bombs about the identity changing experience that comes along with having babies—and not just your first. Abandoning the blueprint of “The Plan” Transparency about how I handled PPD My invitation to mothers around the world The significance of your thoughts, beliefs and choices Along with what I think mothers need and deserve more of and how I promise to deliver it with this podcast.

Welcome to The Champagne Society with Gervase Kolmos
Welcome to The Champagne Society. I’m Gervase Kolmos - Certified Coach for mamas and your host for our NEW PODCAST! The Champagne Society started 3ish years ago before in-person fun was cancelled. And man it was magical. It was a glorious kid-free, judgment-free space for moms of littles. But then the entire world changed... This podcast was born out of love, excitement and a hope to create something that felt as good as it looked. For months, I kept thinking, “What would be the same if nothing changed?” Every woman needs to have some FREAKIN’ FUN. Pandemic or not. We’re never the only ones experiencing human moments; ups and downs. No one has their -ish together all the time and we’re tired of pretending that we do. Our community was built in small local venues with 30-100 women sitting shoulder to shoulder, snapping for solidarity, laughing (sometimes crying) and giving each other permission to make it “motherhood and” instead of “motherhood, or." Our goal? Is to bring our famous Unfiltered Conversations normalizing the struggle of the juggle and challenging each other to do better can still continue. Each week I’m interviewing some of the most powerful and inspiring moms I know to hear their hard-earned lessons learned on what it really takes to have it all as a woman, a mother, an entrepreneur and a multi-faceted human. We’ll go deep and we’ll go there, so be ready. We’re Going DEEP on the real issues that affect all humans and especially entrepreneurial mamas with littles. Grab a drink and wear whatever the F you want, and carve out some mama time to hear me say the things everyone else is thinking but scared to admit, and remind you, along with our guests, that yes, you do need to show up for yourself, and no, you’re not the only one who’s having trouble doing so. Expect “me, toos” and real talk plus actual answers to your main questions re: HOW - How do you juggle motherhood with your entrepreneurial ambitions, relationships, self-care and limited time? Well, listen to find out, b/c we’re gonna talk about it, with curse words, because sometimes you just need em. Raising a glass to you, mama. Let’s do this.
