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...

242. Dress Like a Prayer, Create Like a Spell: A Wild Feminine Awakening in Peru

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...

Welcome to Weaving Your Reality with Ksenia | Podcast Name Shift

Weaving Your Reality

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 —...

241. You Can Talk About It, Or You Can Be It: (Re)Learning To Trust Myself In Life And On Social Media

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 ...

240. I’m Back! A Big Life Update After Having a Baby (Following Guidance One Step at a Time)

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. 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...

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

Weaving Your Reality

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...

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

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...

237. Honoring The Sacred Creative Pause, Podcast As A Ceremony, Magical Experiences During Recent Travels, Choosing Creation, and Lemurian Crystals

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! How I’m approaching this pregnancy differently than the previous times - Fulfilling...
