The Modern Phoenix

Everything is bullsh*t. On this episode of the It's All Me podcast, Gervase invites Erin Keating, an award-winning television development and production executive turned podcast host, to discuss how life's initiations can free us to create the lives we were made to lead. Listen in as they discuss how Erin's Covid experience became the catalyst to reinvent her life, weed out the BS rules and relationships, and prioritize her voice and sensuality and become the entrepreneur she is today.

Erin Keating is the host of the Hotter Than Ever podcast, interviewing inspiring women over 40 about how they broke the unconscious rules they'd been following and reshaped the second act of their lives.

Lately it feels like my lifeforce and bandwidth have been tested to the max. So when a friend invited me to church with free childcare, I went. In this week's solo episode, I dive into how leaning into my latest church experience with deep curiosity (despite my thoughts on organized religion) led to a full-bodied realization about prayer, parenting, and control, and dropped me into peace and my sacred knowing.

Jo Miller is a somatic teacher and mentor who helps the big-hearted helpers, overthinkers, and creatives in the world to live an empowered life with compassionate boundaries, free from trauma and shame. Joe is a member of the SNR leadership team of the Focalizing Institute and also works within her own private practice.

We are back from a summer break that was more like a summer smackdown for G. In this solo episode, she's giving you the play-by-play of her daughter's recent health challenges and how through her own advocacy, resilience and spiritual attunement, she held herself through her own personal dark night of the soul and every mother's nightmare and used the It's All Me framework as her hope, her guiding light and her tuning fork.

It's not uncommon to hear people talking about 'unleashing the wild woman,' but the next question is - then what? On this episode of the It's All Me podcast, Gervase sits down with Mandy Burstein to discuss their journeys of finding safe and healthy ways to express generationally suppressed emotions, the healing experience of embracing the duality of death and grief, and what has been healing for them as mothers rewriting their own traumas and triggers while simultaneously being the blueprint for their children. Listen in for a behind the scenes look at the experiences provided at their previous retreat held in Sayulita, Mexico.

Mandy Burstein is a teacher of yoga, mindfulness and transformational breathwork who is passionate about lovingly pushing people beyond their comfort zones to discover how strong, beautiful and powerful they truly are. Since 2010, she has led group classes, spiritual self-discovery workshops and week-long yoga retreats, and was a guest teacher at Gervase's Sayulita retreat.
