Weaving Your Reality

In this solo episode (the first one under the new podcast name!), I share the behind-the-scenes story of my pilgrimage to Peru—a journey that unraveled grief, creative blocks, divine timing, and an unexpected airport ceremony. What unfolded in the sacred Andes wasn’t just a travel experience—it was a full-body remembrance of what it means to co-create with the Wild Feminine, or my inner Goddess.  This is a story of listening, following the spark, choosing magic over logic, and letting the wild feminine lead. It’s about cacao and license plates, airport meltdowns and mystical signs in the dirt. And most of all, it’s an invitation to remember: you are the magic. Inside This Episode: • Why “when a woman stops creating, men pick up weapons” is more than a metaphor • The power of saying yes before you feel ready • The moment a sip of cacao from Peru changed the trajectory of my life • A real-time initiation into trusting divine timing (and missing a flight) • The creative downloads I received in an underground meditation  • Why your nervous system is the real portal to miracles • The aliveness in beauty, adornment, and letting yourself be seen • A call to honor your downloads and create without permission • How the Earth herself is guiding the branding of the product I’ve been developing Quotes: 🌀 “When a woman stops creating, men pick up weapons. The only way to restore balance is to create.” 🌀 “It didn’t come from outside of me. It was already in me. The remembering was in my bones.” 🌀 “Your car is your altar on wheels. Let it delight you.” 🌀 “Stop trying to be loved by the divine while ignoring the downloads that are asking to be born through you.” 🌀 “You are not meant to wait until it’s profitable to be worthy. YOU are the magic.” My invitations for you:  What’s one small, illogical thing that delights you? Let it lead you. What’s one thing you can do to soothe your nervous system today? Let that be your temple.

Welcome to the newly named Weaving Your Reality with Ksenia. This podcast is evolving — just like I am, just like you are.   The name has shifted ever so slightly, but the frequency has deepened. This space is now more clearly what it was always becoming: A portal for visionary humans ready to reclaim their creative power, speak their raw truth, and build both inner worlds and outer empires rooted in resonance, integrity, and infinite possibility. We talk about business here — but not the kind built on burnout or boxes. We talk about creativity, visibility, and digital presence — not as strategies to squeeze into, but as sacred technologies for frequency, storytelling, and energetic leadership. This is not just a podcast. It’s an invocation. A whispered reminder that you are the creator — and everything you build from your center carries the codes of who you really are. So let this be an invitation to weave boldly. To create not from pressure, but from presence. Not from performance, but from truth. To design your life, your brand, and your online expression as a sacred offering. May the frequencies you tap into here remind you of your inner technology. May you be moved into aliveness, joy of creation and playfulness. May miracles unfold as a natural side effect of being fully alive. Thank you for being here. Thank you for weaving your reality.

In this solo update, I expose my own self-judgements around how I show up on social media and the attachment to creating something “successful”. Together, we flip these illusions upside down and go straight where these fears are actually inviting us – intimacy with the Divine and with life itself.  I also share: How this incredible community has held me through one of the biggest transitions I’ve ever been through – separation, divorce and single mamahood How I’m seeing this divorce and becoming a single mom from a zoomed out perspective: the lessons that are here FOR me How I’m recalibrating my relationship with social media  How I am interpreting the lack of growth on my social media pages (despite some big viral moments over the past few years)  What I’m called to play with on social media this year  Learning to trust my instincts  Niche or no niche?  Related episode:  222 Embodying Main Character Energy (Dropping The “Nice Person” Role) Connect with Ksenia:  kseniabrief.com Ksenia's email list Instagram @ksenia.avdulove YouTube @ksenia.avdulove TikTok @ksenia.avdulove Subscribe, rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts Follow the podcast on Spotify  

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.

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 (trigger warning: I speak about pregnancy loss in this episode), 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  Episode sponsor: Laird Superfood: Use my special link to save 15% at Laird Superfood at checkout.

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  Episode sponsor: Laird Superfood: Use my special link to save 15% at Laird Superfood at checkout.

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.

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 Episode sponsor: Laird Superfood: Use my special link to save 15% at Laird Superfood at checkout.

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!  Mentioned:  Journal entry that changed my life: Spirit of Content Related Episodes:  219 Social Media Energy Code For When You Feel Stuck 192 My Approach To Social Media Strategy in 2022 | Reframing “Social Media Growth” and Unleashing The Full Force Of Your Presence 189 Trust The Life Force Without Having To Understand It | #11DaysOfSharing on Social Media 186 Join Me For 11 Days Of Sharing On Social Media | Hyping You Up To Share Your Medicine with The World 151 Social Media Energy Download: This Makes All The Difference [Spirit of Content] 146 Conscious Social Media: A 7-Step Guided Journey Into What Really Matters Connect with Ksenia:  kseniabrief.com Ksenia's email list Instagram @ksenia.brief YouTube Ksenia Brief TikTok @ksenia.brief Subscribe, rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts Follow the podcast on Spotify

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.
