The Nina Gervase Show

If you're like so many people, I bet you dread the shorter days, colder weather, and darkness of winter. That's totally normal! But WHAT IF everything you've been wishing away is exactly where you can find magic this winter? Think about it... without the darkness, you'd never see the stars, the moon, the planets, or be able to wish on a shooting star. The shorter days give us a season to slow down...

How do you invest in yourself when you don't even believe you're worth the investment? For years, that was ME! I heard people talk about personal growth and investing in themselves, but I didn't even know what the hell that actually meant! Now I know, and it's changed my life! Investing in yourself means getting into the right rooms, hiring a coach or mentor, reading the right books, listening to...

Y’all, I am so tired of being told all the things I have to do to grow online. Use this AI tool. Automate this. Take this course. Follow this strategy. Post this way. Do more, more, more. At some point, all of that “growth advice” starts pulling us further away from the very thing people are actually craving right now — real human connection. In this episode, I’m talking about why I’m done chasing...

I believe giving back should be about more than writing a check. In this episode, I’m sharing five local organizations I genuinely give a damn about: Guardian Heals, Neuse River Golden Rescue (Gears for Goldens), Angels Among Us at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, Taylor Family YMCA, and The Carying Place. Yes, I donate financially—but I also believe our time, our voices, our connectio...

Maybe you're like me and you like people watching. Except for me, it's so much more than just watching. It's deep observation — and somehow, it gives me an even deeper appreciation for life. In today's episode, I reflect on how the things I observe during my morning walks have impacted the way I see life, and I hope it changes the way you see things on your next walk too. There is so much beauty h...

Y’all, I cannot make this stuff up. Three times over the past few weeks, a turkey buzzard flew across my path so low I thought I was going to hit it with my car. And then the damn thing stopped… and looked at me. Three different times. Coincidence? Maybe. But when I started looking at what was happening in my life each time it showed up, things got a little weird. There was a pattern I hadn’t noti...

Babe… I get it. I’ve done it too. I tell myself I’m going for it. I “do” all the things that make it look like I’m going for it. And yet, somewhere underneath all of that, there’s still this little tinge of fear keeping one foot on the brake. And half the time, I don’t even realize I’m doing it to myself. But that foot on the brake is exactly what keeps us from going all in. So in this episode, we...

What if you stopped using your imagination to build up everyone else’s life… and started using it to build your own? We create these incredible stories about other women—their success, money, confidence, careers, lives—while telling ourselves all the reasons we can’t have the same things. In this episode, I’m challenging you to flip that. Use your imagination for you. See the life YOU want. Start...

We all know about the build season, the run season, the scale season, and all the others. But how many of us actually acknowledge the pivot season? It’s a pretty significant season that often gets overlooked. A pivot could mean changing careers, changing the trajectory of a goal within the same career, or simply moving from a career season into a true season of rest. Pivot season requires patience...

Big emotions are part of life. Grief. Fear. Anxiety. Guilt. Joy. They all deserve to be acknowledged—not pushed aside or ignored. In this episode, I'm sharing one of the biggest mindset shifts I've ever had after my husband was given six months to live. It's the lesson that changed how I approach difficult seasons, life's biggest celebrations, and everything in between. You don't have to deny your...

What happens when you’ve spent years making accommodations, supporting everyone else, and building a life that looks successful… but somewhere along the way, you stop recognizing yourself? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Heidi Koch — aesthetic medicine physician, speaker, and the woman behind Reclaim Your Reflection — for a powerful conversation about identity, reinvention, limiting beliefs, an...

Be honest… are you really confused about your next step, or are you avoiding the decision? Because asking everyone for opinions, reading another book, listening to another podcast, and downloading one more freebie to help you “decide” may actually just be procrastination dressed up as preparation. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop stalling, connect to the woman you say you want to b...

I’ve been doing an audit of my life lately, and I want to share something that’s been heavy on my heart. Y’all know I am ambitious. I’m a strong, independent woman, and I will always encourage other women to find their audacity, chase what they want, and create a life that feels powerful and free. But today’s episode is about something just as important: not missing the real moments while we’re pu...

If you’ve ever been called too much, too intense, too ambitious, or a little crazy for wanting more out of your life… this episode is for you. There will always be people who don’t understand your fire, your drive, or the vision you have for your future. But their lack of vision does not get to become the reason you shrink your dreams. Listen now if you’re ready to stop explaining yourself and sta...

Are you actually living the life you want… or are you still performing the version of yourself that keeps everyone else comfortable? In this episode, I’m asking four massive questions that are not fluffy, surface-level journal prompts. These are the questions that make you stop scrolling, grab a pen, and get honest with yourself. Do you really know who you are? Do you actually like yourself? Do yo...

What do you do when every fiber of your being tells you it's time to start over? In this episode of The Nina Gervase Show, I sit down with Meg McDaniel, a health coach, personal trainer, and former beauty business owner who walked away from an 18-year career to pursue a completely different path. Here's what makes her story so powerful: she wasn't failing. Her business was successful. People thoug...

Have you ever heard of Brooke Castillo and his thought model for success? Well… I found that the BEST way to use it is actually in reverse. That’s right. In this episode of The Nina Gervase Show, I’m teaching you how to reverse engineer your thoughts, emotions and actions in order to finally get the results you want in life and business. Because most people are so focused on the goal itself that t...

This episode is a recap of my two recent interviews with Jessica Burgio and Kristeen Barker—and I had to sit down and talk this through with you because both of these women have built incredible success… just in completely different ways. Early on, Jessica was blessed to have people continually see potential in her that she didn’t fully see in herself yet. And instead of brushing that off or playi...

In this episode of Unfiltered Conversations, I have the pleasure of interviewing Kristeen Barker, a nephrologist, educator and podcaster out of Australia. Kristeen explains how she knew she could be doing more, even after reaching the exact goal she had worked years for. She shares what it looked like to follow that internal pull instead of continuing down a path that didn’t feel right—and how tha...

Do you even know what the reticular activating system is in your brain? Do you understand how your RAS is literally controlling your future? Because it is. And here’s the part most people don’t realize… Your brain is constantly filtering what you see, what you notice, and what you believe is possible. So if you’re walking around thinking, “this isn’t working,” “I’m stuck,” “nothing ever goes my wa...

I am so excited for this episode because I finally got Jessica Burgio on the podcast as my very first guest… and I’ve been wanting this conversation for a while.   If you don’t know Jess yet, you will after this—and you’ll get it. I couldn’t wait to introduce you to her!   She’s one of those people where the more you hear her story, the more you realize nothing about it was straight or easy. She’s...

Fifteen years into widowhood, I can tell you this with complete honesty: it doesn't get any easier. Grief has, however, help shape who I have become. In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing where I truly am after 15 years of carrying love, loss, gratitude, heartbreak, and legacy all at once. I talk about what it feels like to watch your children reach milestones their father should be here fo...

Inspired by something I recently heard from Dr. Joe Dispenza, this episode is your wake-up call: the new version of you cannot come from the same thoughts, habits, and patterns that created the life you have now. I’m breaking down why real change starts in your mind first—and how visualization, gratitude, and journaling help you finally break the cycles keeping you stuck.   If this hit you, share...

Saying yes does not mean doing everything, girl. This is your permission slip to say yes and be honest about what that yes actually looks like. Yes, I’m in. And here’s what I can give. And here’s what I can’t. That little word AND is what keeps your yes from turning into stress, guilt, and resentment. You are allowed to protect your peace, stay in your strengths, and still go all in on what matter...

You keep saying yes… and it’s draining you. The guilt. The overcommitment. That gut feeling you ignored—and now you’re stuck. In this episode, we’re getting honest about why you say yes when you shouldn’t, how to pause before committing, and how to say no without overthinking or feeling like you’re letting people down. Because every “yes” is costing you something. And it might be the life you actu...
