Ksenia Avdulova is a public speaker, founder of the award-nominated digital platform Breakfast Criminals, and host of Woke and Wired podcast—a podcast focusing on expanded consciousness and entrepreneurship in the digital age.
She built her career Instagram post-by-post after losing her visa, dream job, and boyfriend all at once (and thinking that she lost her shot at her American Dream). She has been named "one of the pioneers of conscious social media," and her work has been featured in well-renowned publications, alongside international powerhouse brands. She even graces the cover of Kashi GOLEAN cereal boxes nationwide (without being a pro athlete).
Ksenia now shares her story as a point of inspiration and empowerment, and she teaches other entrepreneurs how to build an authentic and conscious platform.
IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:
Ksenia’s upbringing in Russia and her American Dream. Losing her visa, dream job, and boyfriend all at once… and how that laid the foundation for her to become a successful entrepreneur and transformational public speaker. The power of listening to your body and trusting the messages/guidance surrounding you. Ceremonial Cacao + the power of mindful rituals that help you connect to something deeper. Creating an authentic presence on social media platforms and how to consciously leverage your platform for your business. Successful brand partnerships Ksenia has created authentically by reaching out to companies that align with her lifestyle. Plus much more…

QUOTES
(3:52) “I would hold onto anything that would give me that glimpse of feeling good about myself until I really started finding it within myself with the help of yoga and meditation.”
(6:35) “In that situation (losing her visa/dream job/boyfriend), the seeds were planted for Breakfasts Criminals because the idea was really me sharing me going through this difficult time in my life and reminding myself to start everyday with self-love, nourishment and kind thoughts to myself even if there is no guarantee.”
(8:44) “How to find your voice, how to use it and how to use social media to amplify your message to create business, to feel clarity and be aligned with who you are, where you are going and how you are putting it all out there.”
(15:51) “It’s interesting how in the moment it seems like it’s the end of the world and I can’t stay here and I’m losing my dream job and then it just led me to the craziest experiences where my work just ends up in the right place, in the right time, around the right people.”
(35:41) “The truth is you can’t be a conscious entrepreneur if you’re not a conscious human.”
