Are you worshiping the cult of “being a nice person?” Did wanting to be liked and approved sneak up to the top of your subconscious hierarchy of values?  You’re here because niceness has likely hijacked how you express yourself in the world, putting a ceiling and a floor on how freely you share the TRUTH of who you are. The truth that is the swirling life force in the field beyond logic, spreadsheets, content plans and business projections. The kind of truth that wants to pour divine frequencies through you with no self-censorship. Even if it pisses some people off. Especially if it does. If you’re ready to let go of wiring that no longer serves you and hire a quantum electrician within to choose a new set of beliefs that make you SOAR, you are in the right place.  In this solo episode, I invite you to step into the main character energy that you were born to play in your life.  Related episodes:  221  It’s Time To Take The Leap (You Know Who You Are) 213  Introducing WEB8: New Podcast Name, New Era 173  Part Two: I'm remembering who I am  155  Share What Moves You, Not What Makes Sense ​​ Connect with Ksenia:  kseniabrief.com Instagram @ksenia.brief YouTube Ksenia Brief TikTok @ksenia.brief Subscribe, rate and review the podcast on  Apple Podcasts Follow the podcast on  Spotify

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

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.

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

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.

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.

236. KSENIA and ERIC BRIEF with MICHELLE SINNETTE: Why Spirituality, Taxes & Finances Are The Same Thing | Being A Business Artist | Facing Money Fears | ERC As An Opportunity for Source To Deliver Mo

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
