    240. I’m Back! A Big Life Update After Having a Baby (Following Guidance One Step at a Time)
    Jun 10 2024
    It’s been almost a year since I’ve released an episode and since then we’ve moved across the country, bought and renovated a house (well, it’s still in progress!), birthed a baby, and welcomed another furry member to our family. I also released my first spoken word song. I’ve been hearing very strong inner guidance whispers to come back to the podcast. On the earthly plane, I’ve also experienced incredible synchronistic meetings and conversations that have pointed to the same thing… “get back to the mic!” I share some of these stories in this episode. So I’m following the guidance. In this comeback episode, let’s catch up on life: I share the most memorable bits of my journey from last summer (when we drove across the country to move to the West Coast) to now, as I’m feeling a completion of my postpartum stage and feeling a new way of being, loving and expressing emerging within the expanded constellation of our family. I share about: My initiation into receiving Our weird Airbnb experiences Our road trip from Austin to Reno Choosing to show up and share while the collective is in pain Our annual trip to the Tucson Gem Show with an infant Trip to Southern California and how our new dog Kobe divinely joined our family My Divinely guided and supported first big flight with Zion The sign that gave me the courage to release my song, “Who Me?” Mentioned: Who Me? song by Ksenia Brief SpiderERC – our family Employee Retention Credit business TaskRabbit – the app we used to find helpers for our move Under Canvas – upscale, safari-inspired accommodations outdoors Los Poblanos Historin Inn & Organic Farm and Hacienda Spa Heart Gardening Podcast Asher Market Transportation service I used for our dog Kobe Rover – the app I use to find dog sitters Content referenced: Kauai Babymoon Moving from Austin to Reno: Part 1 and Part 2 Waking up in Zion National Park 6 places I loved in Albuquerque Renovation moodboard Renovation Update About Employee Retention Credit My garden Related episodes: 239.

    239. I’m 24 Weeks Pregnant! Lessons from My Pregnancy Journey, Part 1
    Jul 14 2023

    In this episode, I share one of the most expansive journeys I’ve ever been on: my path to being 24 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. 

    After multiple pregnancy losses, there have been so many non-obvious, non-linear initiations and activations that have moved through me to prepare me for this moment. In this solo episode, I share some of them. I have a feeling this will be part one of a series!

    We cover: 

    • The layers of initiation we’ve been moving through on this pregnancy journey 

    • How the desire to have children first activated in my body

    • The role that our wedding choices played in our journey to expanding our family 

    • Being stewards for a New World Soul  

    • Some of the lessons that have revealed so far on this pregnancy journey 

    • Some of the signs that our spirit baby has sent us 

    • The support I’ve had on my journey to a healthy pregnancy: acupuncture, yoga, song medicine, biological dentistry, bodywork 

    • The role that intuition has played on this pregnancy journey 

    • Answering the call to visit the land I connected with as a child 

    • How I am living the concept of a “conscious pregnancy” 

    • Some of the books I’ve found supportive during my pregnancies 

    • How I’ve been choosing what to share on social media and what to keep to myself around pregnancy and loss

    • Learning to love my body through all the changes happening during pregnancy

    238. Trusting Your Creative Process, Being Available For Spirit While Staying Grounded In Your Body, Quantum Leaping Through Journaling – KARINA IVANOVA
    Jun 27 2023

    Four years ago musician, writer and podcaster Karina Ivanova was listening to one of my podcast episodes, and planted a seed that she’d like to be a guest one day. But then she heard an inner voice ask: “What would you be excited to tell Ksenia about?”

    That’s when she realized that the creations she’s meant to share with me (and with you) haven’t come through yet. So Karina got busy bringing her creative visions to reality, from a music album, to a poetry book, a podcast and a journaling movement in her home country of Kazakhstan.

    All while exploring her own spiritual journey through the Akashic Records and other modalities. Today, she shares it all with us, and I couldn’t be more excited about this coming full circle!

    We discuss: 

    • Meeting Spirit while staying persent in your body

    • How to learn another language fluently – Karina’s experience learning english

    • Karina’s experience growing up with a musician mom

    • First encounters with Spirit 

    • Karina’s spiritual journey and how opening her Akashic Records changed everything 

    • Karina’s experience with residency at the Watermill Center

    • Making peace with your inner voice

    • Pain alchemized into sacred work

    • Music as an invitation to feel

    • The creative process of writing a music album 

    • The healing power of journaling and free writing 

    • How to quantum leap through journaling 

    • Changing the trajectory of your life by establishing a communication between your past self and future self 

    • Creating your own mantras 

    • Appreciating the little things 

    • Karina’s upcoming creative projects

    About Karina Ivanova: 

    I’m a 26-year-old musician, writer and podcaster from Kazakhstan. currently, I’m creating “jazziam” (www.instagram.com/jazziamwithkarina/) which is a journaling movement, community and podcast, introducing the healing power of writing (jazu literally means two things in Kazakh: to write and to heal) to people. 2 years ago, I released my first music album “metanoia” in English (https://open.spotify.com/album/7DTRqa5W5eWahtx6qpVO7v?si=SvVevKNtS0KnxZJkmA17vw) and a poetry book called “символ отречения от контроля” (symbol of surrendering control), in Russian. It’s a collection of 110 poems-reflections on my spiritual journey activated after a series of events such as residency at the Watermill Center, opening my Akashic Records for the first time and ending my 8.5 year long relationship. I’m interested all things arts and spirituality, conscious living, writing, soulful entrepreneurship and relationships. My sacred work these days is to hold space for people, as individuals and in groups, through writing practices and mantra chanting.

    237. Honoring The Sacred Creative Pause, Podcast As A Ceremony, Magical Experiences During Recent Travels, Choosing Creation, and Lemurian Crystals
    Jun 11 2023

    In this solo update I’m sharing the WHY behind the longest break from podcasting I’ve ever taken, some of the creations that I’m currently bringing into the world, and why allowing the space for Source to move through is an invitation for miracles. 

    Here are some of the things I share: 

    - Our experience at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show (and an invitation for you if you’re called to Lemurian Crystals)

    - How I plan travel experiences to leave space for Source to guide me

    - I’m pregnant! How I’m approaching this pregnancy differently than the previous times

    - Fulfilling Eric’s childhood dream of going to the NBA finals

    - Releasing industry standards and expectations, and approaching every podcast episode as a sacred ceremony

    May 24 2023
    My mentor Michelle Sinnette and my husband Eric Brief join me in this very special conversation about a soul calling we’ve all said YES to. After a few very internal months away from podcasting  (I’m growing a baby in my belly!), I heard clear guidance to jump back in. What we share in this conversation is an answered prayer in many ways, and we go to depths I’ve never gone before on the podcast. Thank you for sharing this sacred space with me.  We discuss:  How did a spiritual mentor end up in a financial services business?  Why spirituality, taxes and finances are the same thing Living in alignment with Source in all aspects of your life Moving beyond the labels of “conscious business”  Transcending the need to “make money”  Being a business artist Building an outstanding business in a low trust industry  How Eric was guided to make SpiderERC a vertically integrated business  Being the invitation and letting go of the outcome  Being present for miracles instead of self-evaluation, over-strategizing and over-thinking  The role that Eric and Ksenia’s partnership and marriage plays in the success of the businesses Eric creates  The importance of feeling grounded from within before moving into action Your soul being in pure creation without the need to produce and perform Creating from fear is not creation… it is destruction  Seeing your business as a non-linear being  Moving through energetic blocks around money and stepping into freedom Ksenia gets real-time coaching on moving past old money stories  We also cover all things ERC: What is ERC? (Employee Retention Credit) and what opportunity does it offer for you? Who qualifies for ERC/ERTC? The Recovery Startup Business Provision The importance of proper documentation when you file for to get your ERC/ERTC What sets apart SpiderERC when it comes to choosing a company to file for ERC Can you file ERC yourself?  Why accounting firms choose SpiderERC to send their clients to file for ERC All of the global ripples Spider is producing beyond ERC  Episode sponsor: Laird Superfood: Use my special link to save 15% at Laird Superfood at checkout.

    235. 5-Step Intuitive Social Media Process for Artists, Creators, Healers, Coaches and Entrepreneurs
    Feb 16 2023

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just unclear about how to show up on social media – and wondering if you should show up at all – this one’s for you.

    In this episode, I will share a 5-step intuitive social media process that is inspired by some of the downloads that have been coming through during my one-on-one energy/social media strategy work with incredible entrepreneurs, artists and healers (shoutout to all the incredible souls that say yes to this courageous, vulnerable work.) 

    I guess you could say what I do is “shamanic” social media. In essence, I connect the different realms and hold the mirror of possibility for the client’s highest self-expression in this world, using the lens of social media. I continue to be blown away by what comes through in these sessions – it’s way beyond me or anything my brain could have come up with. 

    I don’t get a chance to work with everyone in an intimate one-on-one way, but I feel that this work is incredibly important, especially at this time. That’s why I’m so excited to share this process and this guidance with you here on the podcast!

    234. Ancestral Healing, Living In Your Truth, and Remembering That We Are Already Free – NATHAN MAINGARD
    Jan 25 2023

    I really enjoyed this conversation with Nathan Maingard – podcast host, transformational guide and wordsmith. 

    This is the first interview under the updated podcast cover art, and that’s intentional: the depths to which we journey in this episode takes the sacred space that is this podcast to a new level! 

    We discuss: 

    • How a conscious social media Google search brought together Nathan and me
    • What is was like growing up barefoot and naked in a small village in South Africa
    • Choosing to be the healer in your lineage
    • Overcoming the lineage of violence
    • “Trauma travels through the lineage until someone is brave enough to feel it”
    • Nathan’s school experiences and being bullied as a hyper sensitive child 
    • Trusting that your parents did the best they could 
    • The beauty that came out of Nathan’s parents’ divorce 
    • Nathan’s experience with family constellation therapy  
    • Overcoming addiction to hard drugs 
    • Some of the healing modalities and plant medicines Nathan has worked with, and the lessons they brought (kambo and psilocybin)
    • Nathan’s spoken word piece that went viral 
    • How Nathan is answering the call to pivot from music career   
    • How Nathan is practicing being in balance of feminine and masculine energies 

    About Nathan Maingard: 

    Born at home to a writer and a craftsman in a tiny cottage on the tip of Africa, Nathan Maingard was raised barefoot and naked. As a highly sensitive person formed by the sounds of wild ocean and musical poets, he was nearly crushed by the limiting boxes society pushed him into. Through his inner healing journey of finding his 'enoughness', he has grown into an empowering wordsmith, healing facilitator, and transformational guide. His gift is to support down-to-earth seekers and free people as they feel, heal, and grow.
