How Ksenia Avdulova Rebuilt Her Life From One Cup of Cacao

When you need money to show itself to you first, you can only create evidence from who you are now. And who you are now can only bring in the amount of money you have now. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast I'm sitting down with my friend Ksenia Avdulova. Ksenia is an entrepreneur, storyteller and creator who has spent nearly two decades turning intuitive visions into brands and businesses. She's the founder of WANA HEY ceremonial cacao, the host of Weaving Your Reality, a podcast ranked in the top 1% globally, and before that she built the award-nominated wellness brand Breakfast Criminals and collaborated with brands like Whole Foods, Adidas, Free People and Instagram. She's also an immigrant, a single mom and an active trader, and she's now in her second round of the SI Mastermind. We came straight off a Mastermind call into this recording. Ksenia shares how her life fell apart two years ago, how one cup of cacao passed around a fire in Portugal became the brand she's building today, and why money is the one thing she's still calling in. From there we get into bringing money neutrality to the most results-oriented job there is, and how I relate to money that's being made in the background. And at the end I'm sharing an audio message Ksenia sent me after we recorded, to close the circle. In this episode: The cup of cacao in Portugal, and taking life "one nourishing sip at a time" Selling her son's outgrown snowsuits, and the question that flipped it: what do you need to do right now to be open to receiving the money? Day trading in money neutrality, and what Pilates taught her about discipline The project that paid too little per hour and opened a much bigger conversation Why I don't need money to show itself to me first, and my trading floor and triathlon story "Everything blossoms around a woman who follows her instincts" Connect with Ksenia Avdulova: Website and podcast: ksenia.love WANA HEY ceremonial cacao: wanahey.com Substack, Ksenia in Love: substack.com/@ksenialove Instagram and TikTok: @ksenia.avdulove Pre-enrollment for the February SI Mastermind is open now.

The Economy Isn't Why You're Struggling With Money

The economy is where you expand your money. And your monthly cash flow is your individual household. Those are two separate things, and the moment you see that, the whole money conversation changes. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast I'm sharing a conversation I had with a friend who told me people are struggling right now because the economy is doing so bad. And I'm looking at the economic reports from the side of being an investor and I didn't see that. So I break it open: why politics is not finance, finance is not the economy, and the economy is not your personal budget, and why interest rates and inflation land so differently depending on what side of the table you're on. Then I bring it back to you. The internal narrative you've picked up from the people around you, the "is it a good time to buy" question I'd remove from your repertoire, and why it's the practice of investing, not the results, that brings the money in. In this episode: The K-shaped economy, and why we want wealth in the hands of people who are conscious Why politics, finance, the economy and your household budget are highly disconnected things How high interest rates and inflation can work for owners and against earned income Choosing ownership over earned income, even with a portion of your money Why there's no perfect time to invest, and why you don't wait for the world to show you new evidence My investing-as-a-fire visual, and why your job is to go get more wood How the language we use becomes our children's internal narrative Join me and Emma Johnston for How to Build Generational Wealth, a three-day live workshop inside SI Club on November 17, 18 and 19, from 2:00 to 3:00pm PST on Zoom. I'm bringing the investing side and Emma is bringing conscious parenting, and together we're looking at how much money gets blocked by the stories we carry inside our families.

How to Call Money In When Your Life Feels Turned Upside Down

When your life gets upturned, the version of you that worked before is the first thing you'll grab. And that is repeating the past. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast I'm bringing in everything that's going on right now, in a way you can see yourself inside of. I just came home to Tennessee from Los Angeles, after a month where my whole structure broke open. And instead of choosing a new version of me for comfort, I went into deep silence, an hour and a half or two hours at a time, and let myself be fully present in every conversation on that trip. Opportunities came up for me in the last 10 days that blew my mind. Then I bring it all back to money. Why I'm inviting you to call money in instead of going out and getting it, how certainty takes things off the table so you can go back to what's important to you, and why time can be swapped for vibrational alignment. In this episode: Why I'm done with "in the flow of money" and what calling money in looks like Breaking the structure, and refusing to grab old labels and old ways of being Unbecoming the version of you who needs a routine to feel calm, safe and productive Being a participant in your own life instead of a controller The seven-day exercise we just did in the Mastermind, and what counts as evidence The next SI Mastermind is in February. This will be my 12th Mastermind, which includes live calls with me and a group of people expanding right alongside you. Learn more and apply here: thespiritualinvestor.com/simastermind And inside SI Club, I'm going live on Wednesday, November 4 at noon PST to talk about the market, interest rates and the ways I'm looking at diversifying money right now.

Why the Old You Can't Create New Money: Live Coaching with Alee Morrison

You can feel something new coming and you're asking the old version of you to build it, and the old version of you doesn't have the capacity or the tools for that. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast I'm bringing you right into a live coaching session with Alee Morrison. Alee found her way here through a comment she left on one of Bridget McGing's posts, and I knew from that one comment that she was amazing. She sold the wellness business she owned for 13 years, moved her husband and three kids to Bali, and now they world school around the globe. And after two years of spaciousness she can feel something brewing, so she came in asking how to open herself to new income and receiving without immediately turning that into pressure to build something. In this episode: Why the life Alee spent 10 years calling in came through her kids' education and not her career Stepping into the opportunity first, and why the vehicle never looks the way you planned The 3D pressure, and the internal pressure of asking the old you to do something new Who you're working for, and why in the now you are never unimportant How I use 3D metrics in my own investing accounts without letting them use me Pulling down a new timeline, and Alee's prayer for God to meddle in her life If you heard yourself in Alee, the SI Club is where you keep stepping into the new you with money. You'll have the full SI Method training library, a Get Started Investing series, SI Money Practices to come back to and a community of people expanding right alongside you, plus a live call with me each month.

What Happens When You Start Investing Before You Feel Ready with Elimu Nelson

Analyzing where you are as a reason not to start is the first disservice you do to yourself. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast you get to meet Elimu Nelson, an actor and private basketball coach who played college basketball at Syracuse and who has been apart of The Spiritual Investor community for well over a year. And for that whole time he's been taking the replays and the podcast and putting them into practice in his life. He opened his brokerage account in October 2025, and at the start of 2026 he was in an awful financial position and decided he was not going to put value on himself in terms of the dollar amount in his bank account. So he dug into what he loves, and he tells the whole story here, including the day his theatrical agency of more than 10 years dropped him and why he was fine with it. In this episode: Why waiting is lack energy, and what happened when Elimu heard it Paying down debt and investing at the same time, because we live in an AND world Buying $50 of a stock at a time and contributing to his Roth every week to keep wood on the fire The question he asks himself: what happened, and what did you make it mean? Why the person with money neutrality over $100 a month can't be the same person who makes $100,000 a month Being committed in action without frenzy, and why people wonder how you're doing it Follow Elimu Nelson on Instagram: @elimu11 Come go deeper with me inside the SI Club, monthly or annual: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub

The Real Cost of Playing Small With Money

The real cost of playing small with money is the energy you spend upholding an identity that's too small for you. We work our whole lives for the 401k and the paid-off house like those checkboxes are where freedom starts. And those things fit nicely inside of who you are, but as the goal they leave an emptiness, because what we're looking for is ourselves. In this episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I talk about lining up with your human potential instead, why that is the magnetism that brings the money in, and what I've found underneath all of it: it's not the identity that's the cage, it's the need to prove it. In this episode: Why freedom with money is something you feel in the experience right now The house I bought seven years ago from a woman who had lived there for 30 years, and what it's like to see it go back on the market What extreme identity is and why it's the furthest point from your natural state Finding certainty in the one thing that doesn't change while everything else does How to notice when you're pushing abundance away, whether it's money or love The mantra I took on over a decade ago: show up needing nothing and receive all Come go deeper with me inside the SI Club, monthly or annual: thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub Music licensed through Soundstripe.

Money Neutrality Is a Practice, Not a Place You Arrive

What if there's no right way to do money, only the way you're doing it now? In today's episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I share what's been moving through me lately, from selling a property and finally looking at the details I used to skip, to the stories coming through the SI Club about money neutrality showing up as new clients and new possibilities. I talk about why money neutrality is a practice rather than a permanent state, and how to come back to it when life pulls you out. Then we get practical. I walk through where the market is right now, why treasury yields and oil prices are part of the conversation, and why diversification is one of the most grounded ways I know to hold neutrality in the 3D. In this episode: Why accounting is the history of money, and finance is where the creativity lives How money neutrality helped one member move out of fear and into booking new clients My story of leaving corporate, realizing I was the product, and letting go of how I filtered myself Teaching kids to invest, and the conscious parenting collaboration coming soon to the SI Club The hidden beliefs that push abundance away, and the disentanglement exercise I use to come back to myself A flat market, rising treasury yields, inflation, and why staying invested matters when things feel uncertain If you're interested in learning more about the SI Club, visit thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub.

Stop Trading Time for Money: A Live Coaching Session With Samantha McKay

What if the time problem you keep trying to solve was never a time problem? This episode is a live coaching session. Samantha McKay commented on a giveaway post on Bridget McGing's Instagram, won a session with me, and showed up with a question I hear constantly: how do I stop trading my time for money without blowing up my whole life? We talk about: Samantha's move from full time law to a fractional practice, cutting from 24 hours a week down to 12 Why fewer hours is a 3D fix that the old stories find their way back into The difference between your time being dictated and being in resistance to what you already agreed to Why the time conversation is really a sacrifice conversation How being happy in the hours you committed to is the contribution, not the output Samantha's goal of an extra $5K a month from income that isn't tied to her hours About Samantha McKay: Samantha McKay is an attorney and a mother of two young children living in Los Angeles. She and her husband moved from Melbourne, Australia eight years ago and arrived with nothing. She is currently transitioning into a fractional legal practice while building income streams that don't depend on her hours.

How to Create More Money by Letting Go of Control

What if creating more isn't about doing more but about letting go of the need to control how it happens? In this episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast , I share what I've learned about money, certainty, and becoming an open conduit for what you want to create. I also share how letting go of control inside The Spiritual Investor helped lead to the company's biggest month yet. In this episode: Why money is the result of the energetic currency you exchange How to find certainty inside uncertainty Why letting go means releasing what's working, too What it means to "show up, needing nothing, receive all" How your feelings become the starting place for what you create Why nothingness can be a state of freedom and full potential Your job isn't to control the 3D. It's to create your starting place, return to certainty, and become available for more. Ready to go deeper? Explore Expanding Money, Elizabeth's free five-part series.
