| 240. I’m Back! A Big Life Update After Having a Baby (Following Guidance One Step at a Time) | 10 Jun 2024 | 01:07:43 | |
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 following the guidance. In this comeback episode, let’s catch up on life: I share the most memorable bits of my journey from last summer (when we drove across the country to move to the West Coast) to now, as I’m feeling a completion of my postpartum stage and feeling a new way of being, loving and expressing emerging within the expanded constellation of our family.

| 230. Rethinking Content Creator Business and Creating Your Own Algorithm – TOM BOYD Interviews KSENIA BRIEF | 24 Dec 2022 | 01:10:08 | |
In this episode I'm interviewed by Tom Boyd for his show Creators Are Brands. It's packed with gems! Description from Creators are Brands: In a world where everyone is telling us to speed up, we talk about intentionally slowing down to create more of what you love, how to create your own algorithm, we talk about her integrated holistic way of working with sponsors (that i encourage you to borrow), why she stopped selling courses even though they were bringing in crazy money, how to re-frame feelings of jealousy or comparison of other creators, why she’s quitting being an influencer, and stay to the very end and she shares a strategy for connecting with your audience through every digital thing you make. We discuss:Rethinking content creator business Building a sustainable brand on social media Finding meaning and longevity in digital self-expression Relationships over transactions Social media as a stepping stone on the way of remembering who you are The metrics that actually matter Trusting the content you’re “meant to” share over logical strategy How to reframe comparison on social media Allowing social media to be a mirror of places you are meant to grow Redefining success Seeing triggers as opportunities for growth Do you need to create a separate instagram account for your podcast? Clearing out your creative shelf Give yourself the grace to move through what you’re moving through Ways to connect to the joy of creation How Ksenia is currently approaching podcast and social media brand sponsorships Related episodes:193 Tom Boyd of @bonusfootage: All Things Content Creation, Short Form Video and TikTok Growth 186 Join Me For 11 Days Of Sharing On Social Media | Hyping You Up To Share Your Medicine with The World Resources:Meditation and breathwork challenge on Open Social Media Challenge: 11 days of sharing Hashtag Mindful class on Skillshare Connect with Tom Boyd:Instagram: @bonusfootage TikTok: @bonusfootage Twitter: @BOYDERyo Connect with Ksenia:Instagram @ksenia.brief YouTube Ksenia Brief TikTok @ksenia.brief Subscribe, rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts Follow the podcast on Spotify | |||

This simple yet rarely used physiologic capacity is innate to all human beings. The process is used to resolve conditions such as depression, fear, anxiety, PTSD, anger, and grief.

| 104: Stay True To The Essence You Want To Share with The World – Visionary Artist CARO AREVALO | 22 May 2020 | 01:09:51 | |
Caro Arevalo is a Peruvian visionary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. From her Amazonian heritage she embraced the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom. This is reflected on her intricate artwork that talks about how by observing nature we can notice that there is no real separateness in between beings; this leads her to identify the whole universe connected as a one. I met Caro in a cacao ceremony (cacao ritual has brought so much magic into my life!), and it was one of those moments when I knew I was meant to connect with Caro further – before I even saw her beautiful art.
