The Nina Gervase Show

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...

Fast doesn’t win. Slow does. And if you’re constantly going all in, burning out, and still not where you want to be… we need to talk.   You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You’re just moving too fast without a real plan.   In this episode, I’m calling you out (with love) on the way you’re chasing your goals—and showing you how to actually get there faster by slowing it down, getting it on pap...

I just turned 50.   And instead of dreading it… I celebrated it.   Because the truth is, not everyone gets the privilege of reaching this point in life.   Losing my husband when he was only 36 taught me that in the most painful way possible. Life is fragile. It’s precious. And none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.   Standing on a beach in Costa Rica on my 50th birthday, I had a realization that stop...

  We’ve all had arguments with friends.   But have you ever had a conflict with one of your closest friends that stopped you in your tracks and felt like a stab wound to the heart?   The kind of moment that shakes you so much that instead of making excuses, you realize it’s time to start looking within at the part you played in leading to the conflict.   Because we all know there are two sides to...

  I’m just like you… busy as all hell.   Seriously busy. The kind of busy where you feel like you can’t even catch your breath.   But if you’re like me, that busyness can become the perfect excuse.   An excuse not to implement the thing you know you need to do to reach a big goal.   Because implementing something new takes time.   Time to learn. Time to fail. Time to adjust and try again.   And wh...

  We all have goals. Big ones.   But staying motivated every single day? That’s the hard part.   When momentum fades, distractions creep in, and life gets busy, it’s easy to lose sight of what you’re working toward.   That’s where something surprisingly simple can change everything: journaling on paper.   Not typing. Not tapping notes into your phone. Putting pen to paper.   Because writing things...

Have you ever wanted something more for your life… but fear keeps pulling you back?   Fear of failing. Fear of looking foolish. Fear of proving those quiet doubts in your head right.   So you wait.   You wait to feel ready. You wait for confidence. You wait for the “right time.”   But here’s the truth most women never hear.   Fear shows up right at the edge of change.   And every time you let fear...

Pay attention to the words you say to yourself.   Because they might be the very thing keeping you stuck.   Most women think they lack confidence.   But the real problem is quieter than that.   It’s the language running in the background of your mind.   “I’m not ready.” “I don’t trust myself.” “Now isn’t the right time.”   Those words sound responsible.   But they quietly keep you exactly where yo...

You are one decision away from changing your life.   Not confidence. Not a perfect plan. Not the “right time.”   A decision.   So many women feel stuck because they’ve been conditioned to believe life just happens to them. That circumstances decide. That other people decide for them… giving away so much control in their lives to circumstances.   No.   You are the writer, the director, and the prod...
