Cultivating a Sacred Connection to Source, Your Soul & Social Media Audience with Ksenia Brief

Join me on a spirited adventure with my soul sister, Ksenia Brief, a pioneer in conscious social media, and creative catalyst with numerous beautiful brands – and Instagram handles – under her belt. 


As a child in Russia, Ksenia found her sense of home and community in books. After studying in Moscow and making the leap to the United States, she found expression through blogging, birthing Breakfast Criminals, which started with a broken heart and blossomed into a beautiful brand. 


Never one to follow a linear route or get stuck in a rut, Ksenia has fearlessly evolved her image as she’s grown. You can currently find her writing about tiny cabin life in upstate New York, hosting her podcast, Funded by Source, and elevating the voices of creative artists looking to authentically show up in the online space.


What’s most fascinating about this media guru is her connection offline, to the environment. We delve into her unique relationship with whole foods, foraging for mushrooms, and cooking, as well as reflect on encounters with her power animal, the rhino, and the life-changing healing ceremony she received in the sacred lands of Londolozi, South Africa – which she shares publicly for the first time in this conversation. Wherever she goes and whatever she turns her hands to, Ksenia knows she is held by the universe and its magical ability to perform miracles in her professional and personal life. And today, she shows you why you’re fully funded by Source too. 

The Ceremonial Offering

Everything unfolds for a reason. In this powerful guided meditation you will take a moment to visualize your next step from a place of deep trust and make space for all the beautiful possibilities coming your way. 

We talk about:

  • Our sacred meeting and friendship evolution from New York to jungles of Nicaragua

  • Growing up in Russia and the calling to live in the US

  • Cultivating a relationship with land, mushrooms, and making food

  • Her journey to the United States and the battle to stay there

  • Conscious social media tips and Ksenia’s evolution on the online space

  • What are the next social media trends

  • Moving from NYC to tiny cabin life in nature and searching for new lands 

  • Wedding ceremony at Londolozi in South Africa 

  • A life-changing healing experience with an Ascended Master

  • How Ksenia’s power animal, the rhino, showed itself to her in Africa

For those that feel called to meet their power animal, you will receive a video-guided, shamanic journey to activate your animal’s message when you pre-order your copy of Animal Power: 100 Animals to Energize Your Life and Awaken Your Soul here.
