245. Sometimes What Feels Like Death Is a Rebirth: How Ceremonial Cacao, a Spiral, and I Became Co-Founders
Weaving Your Reality
I can’t believe we’re here. I’ve started a ceremonial chocolate brand. What felt like rock bottom became the portal to my biggest rebirth — and to a creative force I didn’t know I had access to. As I hold my custom shaped and one-pound bags of … It feels surreal. I’ve made products before, but never something with this much prayer woven into every layer: the visuals, the words, the recipe, the sourcing. If you feel called, I can’t wait for you to experience it! In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes journey, the mystical seeds that were planting...

244. It’s Time To Let Money Love You – FARAH ORTHS
Weaving Your Reality
Does money love you? Or are you still trying to prove you’re worthy of its presence? In this deep, heart-opening episode, I sit down with spiritual guide and money healing coach Farah Orths, author of “”. Farah’s story is nothing short of miraculous — she went from “money hates me” to becoming a channel for divine love and financial flow. This isn’t just a conversation about money. It’s about healing the inner shame, grief, and conditioning that blocks us from receiving life fully — and recognizing that money is simply one expression of that life. Whether you’re...

243. I Started a Substack. Here's Why It Will Change My Life
Weaving Your Reality
In this solo episode, I share the heart behind launching my Substack, Good Girl Prophet. It’s a reclamation of voice, trust, and creative sovereignty after two decades of online sharing across blogs, brands, and social media. I speak honestly about what led me here: from chasing the algorithm to listening deeply, from creating to be liked to creating from truth. This episode is about choosing resonance over performance, depth over dopamine, and remembering that you are the main dish… not just a bite-sized piece of content. Whether you’re plotting a creative escape, ditching the algorithm...

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...

Weaving Your Reality
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.

So I’m...

Weaving Your Reality
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...

Weaving Your Reality
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!
