The Modern Phoenix

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?

    Why Women Don't Like to Cry (And Why You Should Start)

    Have you ever been told that you’re too emotional? Or do you avoid crying at all costs because you don’t want to look weak? In this week’s episode, Gervase flips this narrative upside down, offering a powerful reframe that reveals why crying is actually a profound act of healing, as well as an opportunity for connection and growth. Listen in as she breaks down the societal indoctrinations and personal barriers that make us resistant to feeling our emotions, as well as the physiological and intuitive benefits of crying, making a case for why embracing your tears is a radical and necessary practice. What you’ll learn: Why the fear of being "too emotional" is costing us authenticity How patriarchy, capitalism, and even feminism condition us to suppress emotions. How allowing emotions to flow can deepen our relationships and create a bridge to our intuition The physiological benefits of crying, including access to soul-wisdom Why creating safe, intentional spaces to feel is key to emotional health How women's circles, somatic healing, and working with a trained facilitator can help you access your intuition, soul wisdom, and deeper clarity   Are you ready to stop suppressing your emotions and start accessing your inner wisdom?  Start with a Soul Shift: The Soul Shift Intensive was created for the woman who is ready to leave behind the stories society has conditioned her to believe, and instead embrace the calm and clarity that comes with being connected to soul wisdom.

    Matrescence: Does becoming a mother change… everything? with Jessie Harrold

    The transition into motherhood reshapes not just our roles, but our very beings. In this episode, Gervase Kolmos sits down with Jessi Harold, author of Mothershift, to explore the transformative journey known as matrescence. Jessi shares her insights on how becoming a mother can be both a radical shift and a rite of passage filled with growth, challenges, and deep self-discovery. Together, they discuss the complexities of identity shifts, societal expectations, and the importance of holding space for both the beauty and the struggle of parenting.    Keep listening as Gervase and Jessie cover the balance between rejecting and emulating our own upbringing, explore how motherhood pushes us to hold paradoxes and embrace nuance, and discuss how it transforms not only how we parent but also how we grow as individuals.   What you’ll learn: The meaning and transformative power of matrescense The importance of holding complexity and paradox in motherhood The need for and challenges of finding community and support in modern motherhood How your upbringing can leave you swinging between breaking cycles and repeating them  Why self-compassion is a must in the matrescence journey The value of finding balance and what's right for you in motherhood versus societal norms Connect with Jessi Harrold Instagram | @jessie.es.harrold: Website | https://www.jessieharrold.com/   New!
