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?

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

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.

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

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!

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.
