The Modern Phoenix

I Choreograph My Whole Life Around Joy


Listen Later

What if you planned your day around what lights you up—on purpose? In this raw solo, Gervase shares how a rooftop birthday party became a masterclass in scheduling for joy instead of obligation. From proactively blocking her calendar and rescheduling a client to delegating kid pickup and coaching a friend out of "show face" energy, she models what it looks like to let inner knowing lead. Expect grounded coaching on permission, partnership, mom‑guilt, entrepreneurship, and why your ecosystem thrives when you bloom. Feeling good isn't frivolous—it's functional.

Listen to this episode to discover:

  • How to use your calendar as a subconscious signal ("this matters")

  • Why modeling aliveness is real leadership (at work and at home)

  • The mindset reframe for rescheduling without guilt

  • How to delegate life‑load (kid pickup, anyone?) so joy has space

  • The litmus test: feeling good feels easy when the inner work is landing

This episode is for you if: You're over "show face" energy and want to lead from aliveness; you're a mom who keeps crunching joy between pickup and meetings; you're an entrepreneur who built freedom but still plays by invisible rules; or you're simply ready to block the joy first and let the rest of life rearrange.
