Intersectionality. Haven’t heard of it? You’re about to get the inside scoop. Join Gervase and her guest LaVanda Brown of the YWCA as they discuss LaVanda’s work in and around the YWCA, including powerful topics like racism, women empowerment, internalized -isms and false hierarchy, and how we as modern women can walk the road to healing and wholeness in a unified and tangible way.  LaVanda Brown joined YWCA Greater Charleston as executive director in February 2016.  Her experience, leadership, and passion for serving others span 30 years.  A passionate advocate for causes including gender equality, diversity, and racial equity, and a strong ally of under-resourced teens and homeless populations, she envisions a world where differences are not just tolerated but celebrated.   Connect with the mission: Join the YWCA / Attend YWCA events   Would you like a 1:1 session with Gervase?

The ‘Fake it til you make it’ era is over. No more slapping on happy faces, no more ‘feeling the fear and doing it anyway’  mantra subscriptions.

In this episode of the podcast, G shares her personal experience of coming up against resistance right before her most recent Phoenix session, and how we can use the resistance we feel to reconnect to our purpose - and that feels pretty f*cking good.   Private Coaching Spots Now Open Feeling like it might be your season of inner work and G is your guide?
