  • From Corporate Burnout to Conscious Living: How Gervase Kolmos Rebuilt Her Life from the Inside Out
    May 7 2026

    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
    May 5 2026

    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. 💛

  • Having a Baby Taught Me to Be Direct: The Power of Honest Communication in Motherhood
    Apr 28 2026

    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. 💛
