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

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!

• 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

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

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.

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 Money

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
