Raising Hustle

In this episode of Raising Hustle, I’m joined by Gervase Kolmos — a trauma-informed coach, mother of three, and the voice behind the It’s All Me philosophy.

Gervase began her healing journey at just 18, walking herself into therapy and starting the deep work of unraveling “good girl” conditioning and taking radical responsibility for her life. Motherhood became a powerful turning point that eventually led her to leave a corporate career and step fully into guiding women through intuitive, somatic, and deeply transformative coaching.

In our conversation, we talk about identity shifts in motherhood, the emotional and mental load of entrepreneurship, redefining productivity, and how becoming a parent can reshape our relationship with ambition, risk, and success.

This episode is an honest conversation about self-awareness, alignment, and what it means to take ownership of your life — one empowered choice at a time.

Celebrating Mothers, Not Just Babies: A New Way to Gather Before Birth

Baby showers celebrate the baby—but who celebrates the mother?

In this episode of Raising Hustle, we explore how pregnancy and postpartum support often fades after the party, and why mothers need more than gifts—they need care, presence, and community.

This is a gentle reframing of how we gather around expectant moms, including a look at mother-centered alternatives like nesting parties and practical support that lasts beyond birth.

Because welcoming a baby should also mean holding the mother. 💛

Motherhood doesn’t just change your schedule—it changes your voice.

In this episode of Raising Hustle, I share how having a baby taught me to stop hinting, stop people-pleasing, and start speaking with clarity, confidence, and compassion. This is a heart-led conversation about how honest communication becomes a form of self-respect in motherhood, relationships, and business.

We explore how becoming more direct can:

• Reduce resentment and emotional burnout
• Strengthen partnerships and boundaries
• Build confidence in business and family life
• Model healthy communication for our children

If you’ve been holding back, softening your needs, or shrinking to keep the peace, this episode is your reminder: Being direct isn’t harsh—it’s healthy. 💛

What do you do when you don’t know a single person—but you desperately need community?

In this episode of Raising Hustle, I share how I went from having zero local connections to building a real support system that now fuels my life as both a mom and an entrepreneur. This isn’t about awkward networking or collecting contacts—it’s about finding your people and creating genuine, aligned relationships.

We talk about:

• Starting from scratch in a new place
• Defining the support you actually need
• Turning online connections into real-life community
• Building relationships that grow both personally and professionally
• Letting go of connections that no longer fit

If you’ve ever felt alone in business or motherhood, this episode is your reminder: You don’t have to do this by yourself.

Love is powerful—but love alone doesn’t create safety, stability, or options.

In this episode of Raising Hustle, we talk about the truth many moms carry quietly: avoiding money conversations doesn’t protect us—it costs us. This is a heart-led, honest conversation about why financial clarity matters, why moms are taught to shrink their needs, and why wanting stability doesn’t mean you’re asking for too much.

We explore:

• The lie of self-sacrifice without security
• Why money feels taboo for moms
• How motherhood changes the stakes
• The cost of staying silent about finances
• Reframing money as a tool, not a measure of worth

If you’ve ever felt guilt for wanting more stability, more support, or more choice—this episode is your permission slip.

Love is the motivation. Money is the support.

You deserve both. 💛

Today on Raising Hustle, I’m joined by Fionna Sams, certified doula and founder of My Wellness Womb — a woman who was called into birth work through her own lived experience.

After experiencing two very different births — one where she felt invisible and another where she felt deeply supported — Fionna knew she couldn’t stay silent. That contrast ignited her passion for advocating for mothers in the labor and delivery room.

With training through DONA and a background in health science and nursing, she blends evidence-based knowledge with deep, heart-centered compassion. Her mission is simple but powerful: every mother deserves to feel seen, heard, supported, and never alone during birth.

In this episode, we talk about answering the call to doula work, protecting your energy in intimate spaces, regulating your nervous system while holding space for others, navigating burnout, and redefining success after becoming a mom. We also dive into the reality of building a business while raising children — slower seasons, stronger boundaries, and honoring family first.

This conversation is about more than birth.
 It’s about advocacy, identity, boundaries, and what happens when motherhood changes you — and you let it.

If you’re navigating pregnancy, entrepreneurship, or both, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, empowered, and deeply understood. 💛

In this honest and vulnerable episode of Raising Hustle, we’re talking about gender disappointment — the grief, guilt, love, and gratitude that can all exist at the same time when the result isn’t what you hoped for.

This conversation isn’t about ingratitude or loving your baby any less. It’s about acknowledging the dream that shifted, holding space for both hurt and joy, and allowing healing to unfold without shame.

If you’ve ever felt grateful and grieving in the same breath, this episode will remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re not a bad mom — you’re human. 🤍

Motherhood can feel expensive before the baby even arrives — the registry, the nursery, the pressure to “have it all.” But here’s the truth: it’s not about spending less. It’s about spending intentionally.

In this episode, I share how I decide where to save without guilt, where to spend for sanity, and how to make financial choices that support both your family and your long-term wealth. We’ll talk about needs vs. wants vs. worth it, avoiding lifestyle inflation, protecting your peace, and playing the long game with investing and retirement.

Motherhood is emotional — but your money decisions don’t have to be reactive.

Save where it doesn’t matter.
Spend where it supports your peace.
Build wealth quietly and intentionally.
