We have Irina Wood on the show with us today. We're going to get into some of the insights of what she's doing, her podcast, her self-love app, and other things that she's, stories that she's going to share with us on how she does things and why you should know more about

Starting point is 00:01:35 her. Welcome to the show. Ms. Wood, how are you? Irina Wood Hey, Chris. Thank you so much. I really loved your intro. Pete Slauson Thank you. Irina Wood Very inspiring. Thank you so much. I really loved your intro. Thank you. Thank you. Very inspiring. Give us a dot coms. Where do you want people to find you and your stuff on the internet?

Starting point is 00:01:51 Sure. So, my social media is Serena Wood, exactly like my name is I-R-Y-N-A Wood. And my main project, which is Gemini Near Me, that speaks about me and the app itself, Gemini Near Me dot com. Ah, the app itself, GeminiNearMe.com. Pete Slauson Ah! And this is the self-love app. Gemini Near Me Yeah, this is self-love and relationship intelligence app. Pete Slauson Hmm. We need more people that are intelligent in relationships, I can tell. I see a lot of that in the world.

Starting point is 00:02:18 Gemini Near Me And you know, Chris, that's what we are building it through life. We start from relationships with ourselves first of all, and after we build it up with the others. Gemini near me. So give us an overview of some of the details of this. What is inside of a relationship intelligence app? So actually we have designed these app for singles and for couples. And you have your individual account, you can join the app anytime. It's available for Apple and Android users. And we have 10 features that

Starting point is 00:02:51 speak about self-discovery process. So for those people who are finally interested in themselves, not to become observers of somebody else's lives, whatever it's a celebrity or your neighbor, but they want to dive more into themselves and to become passionate about themselves. They're more than welcome to join and this app is a result of my 12 years counseling career. We just launched the most interesting feature that I'm very proud about which is Irina AI. It's your 24-7 Pocket Counselor that is available for everybody 24-7 Pocket Counselor that is available for everybody around the globe anytime you need it. Pete Slauson Anytime you need some help there in figuring

Starting point is 00:03:30 out yourself and it's good that people, you know, are exploring stuff. So it's got several different things in it, dream interpretation that can help me interpret my dreams, astrology with day-to-day guidance so you can see your daily horoscope, is that correct? Anastasia Yes, and I have an explanation why we mentioned all these features. So, besides Arena AI, we have 10 extra features, and actually, for everything besides dream interpretation, I'm certified for professionally. My way was pretty long. I started at 23 and I was absolutely fascinated by astrology, scientifically, mathematically, and I discovered it professionally. And after I realized that spiritual way of every single

Starting point is 00:04:12 person is absolutely endless. Since you are interested in yourself, you can see yourself from very different angles and you can study yourself, your character, your personality, your persona, your shades, good, bad signs, whatever, everything works out for you until you are ready to work on yourself. So actually this app was created for those people and I realized that not everybody nowadays in a streaming world has opportunity timewise, moneywise, and even energy wise because we are all tired after the working day to work on yourself and your relationships. So we created these 10 features which actually you can use them during your day.

Starting point is 00:04:52 When you wake up, you're more than welcome if you had night dreams. Of course, not everybody remembers, but they speak perfectly about your subconscious, about your true needs, about your desires. So decode those dreams can be very helpful for you to understand yourself better. When we go to astrology and numerology, that's where my way of spirituality started from. It's actually absolutely mathematically calculated based on your personal data and time and place of birth, your potential for life and for different

Starting point is 00:05:27 spheres of life. And every day in the morning, 7 o'clock in the morning, you receive a little note notification that don't forget to check out your astrological guidance for today in different niches, which could be very helpful. You know, you don't need to follow it like a blind 100 percent, but if you believe in forecasts, so you would believe in nature, power of nature, so you would believe in astrology a little bit. It could be very helpful if you use it wisely. Pete And yeah, it can really make all the difference, especially that morning sort of boost to, you know, get you on the right track for the day, see what you're attempting to

Starting point is 00:06:01 do. So, it's also got numerology, compatibility charts. So I guess with spouser or personal, maybe someone you're dating or relationship with, manifest journaling, that's kind of interesting. So you can do your manifesting in there. Yeah. So let me stop a little bit on numerology. Actually, thank you very much for guiding me through my own features because it's very helpful. Numerology, I think all of us, we are seeing, maybe not all of us, I don't want to speak for everybody, but we all have our lucky numbers. I don't know, something you inherited from your parents, something you figured out on your own,

Starting point is 00:06:36 oh, that's my lucky number, I like it or I don't like it, but sometimes we pay attention to our clock at the same time and you always see 11 11 22 22 and so on and so on they call it angels numbers because they try like universe is trying to speak to you and give you a kind of it why so guidance where to go and how to behave so people who are interested in numerology and our world is built on algebra and geometry if you think about it in a wider perspective, I have to tell you that numerology could be very helpful to understand your character better. And your lucky numbers set as well. So compatibility charts, I had a lot of clients, especially girls who have a huge strong desire to get married. Women are usually more passionate about astrology and numerology than

Starting point is 00:07:21 men. And they always said, Oh, Rina, because don't forget, when I was 23, I started from there. And they said, Oh, could you check me out with this guy? Do we match? I said, listen, I'm not taking any karma responsibility for you. You do it on your own. If you like the guy, we can see how you guys match. What's your potential. But I'm not advising any life decisions, but it's very good to see what is the strengths and weaknesses of both characters so you can find a better way to the heart of your beloved one, how to treat your husband or wife, how to find the key to the heart. So that's about math part, astrology and numerology, and you mentioned manifesting

Starting point is 00:08:00 journaling. I did it in my way because I'm not a big believer that you can just sit, pray and do nothing. I'm kind of believing in masculine and feminine energy. I represent like women, gender definitely. So I'm more feminine, but your work and your actions, they demand your masculine energy in life, especially in business. So it's always should be a balance. And when we speak about manifesting generally, I know that people sometimes they can get lazy and forget about their dreams while they do, you know, endless procrastination process and postpone their goals so far away that they forget what they really wanted since beginning. I created another notification that people can every evening say seven o'clock when we are all done with our works because most of people they have their

Starting point is 00:08:47 jobs and their employment they are busy during the day to reflect on your day what happened and to work on your dreams because you receive a notification with proper questions about your goals values and Whatever could be helpful for you because they are designed like coaching exercises and you pick up your own niche Whatever you want to work on you want to work on your relationship with your parents with your beloved ones with your kids with your jobs And so on and so on and so on so you choose It's always about you. It's always about you the world revolves around me Some people say that it self notes, so you can kind of

Starting point is 00:09:26 journal it and do self-reflection, like why do I like coffee so much? Self-love relation and relationship cards. What are the relationship cards? Because this is, I guess, for singles and for couples we should say about the app. Yes, it's true. It depends what you're looking for. That's one of the first questions you receive when you download the app. You're looking for self-love or you're looking to be smart together. So you choose your category. You join as a single or maybe you're a coupled individual but you still need to embrace self-love and level up your self-esteem, which is totally fine. So just you will have the

Starting point is 00:10:05 different questions and different meditations and different affirmations. So that's why because I never mixed up those things besides Serena AI and dream interpretation, all other things that are different. So digital self-awareness diary helps you to reflect and as well, let's say you had a fight with your sister today and you wanted to fix what was an issue because you want to observe your relationships with yourself and others. Or you, I don't know, forget to do something and you want even to fix it for yourself because you want to reflect through time on your emotions. So that's why you have this. Like you have it in your iPhone, you have little notes, but it's in a special field, in a secret field, and nobody will go there into your app and read your things. That's kind of alternative of diary, because sometimes you are in your car in a traffic jam and you want to say something important and you can use audio, so you're not going to put yourself in danger.

Starting point is 00:11:06 And after you can read those notes, that's what we call digital diary. And self-card, I always listen to what people want, what people need. And young generation, they actually not only young generation, not only gen Z's, but I had a friend and client and she told me, oh, I would like some kind of fortune telling. And, you know, even with astrology, I explained I'm against any kind of predictions because people take it too seriously and they start to live not their life. So she said, okay, but could you do something fun? You know, like when we come to the Chinese restaurant and you can open it up and you'll see some little fortune telling about good luck coming. We put self-love in the relationship cards, what you can pick up on your own for today.

Starting point is 00:11:54 Maybe Chris, you have to take yourself for a walk to the nature to compliment yourself for a great job, you know, on the radio and TV, something like that. It's kind of fun to entertain you a little bit. We all need as much entertainment as we can get in this world, that's for sure. Those things make us happy. Daily motivational quotes, intentional meditation, so you help people with meditation, that's always good for calming people and putting the mind in a nice place. And then relationship intelligence classes, tell us about that. So motivationalina Pivovarova So motivational quotes is clear enough.

Starting point is 00:12:27 They are phrases of people who succeeded in life, because I know my husband, who is actually my business partner for this app, Ken Wood, he always likes to send me some inspirational stuff, motivational stuff, and he shares it with his relatives as well. So we added that thing, motivational things. And and meditations that always was my superpower because I create my own meditations for my clients in my counseling career for 12 years up to now. Depends what is your true request and I guide people in person when they work with me. It's one of the tools I use and I do believe that it can create some kind of manifesting affect, calming affect, and it helps you to balance your conscious and subconscious. And

Starting point is 00:13:13 I made them themed meditations. We have them for singles and for couples. Let's say for couples an example like meditation prayer for a baby or your meditation to strengthen your bond or to make peace after the fight. Yes, and for singles maybe to attract your destiny, to embrace self-love, to level up your confidence, and so on and so on. Yeah, that's my meditations. I guess that was your last thing that you asked me about? Pete Yeah. The relationship intelligence classes. And so, basically, if you're a couple, I guess they can both be signed in, they can see your, they can see your stuff and it'll help make you have a better relationship with your, with your person, correct?

Starting point is 00:14:00 Anna Yeah. Why I pre-recorded them, first of all, because I wanted people to get to know me better. I'm here in the United States for two years and a half. I'm pretty new to states. So it's clear enough to trust the person that you've never seen, you know, here within the country. It's difficult. So I wanted people to hear out my spiritual awakening position about relationship intelligence, because we are taught about everything in school, algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, but nobody explain us what to do when you have pain in your heart, what to do when you have no idea

Starting point is 00:14:35 how to take a decision, what to do when you are scared to make the first step in your startup or business, how to get rid of fears, how to open up your heart again, and so on and so on. And again, my counseling experience gave me an opportunity to pick up the most challenging topics, what bothered people most of all, what is their niche of fear, you know, and challenge to overcome. So that's why I put some topics for people to listen to, so they don't need to jump out of app, go on YouTube, listen to somebody else and come back to the app again. Pete Well, it should be pretty interesting.

Starting point is 00:15:10 Tell us about yourself and your life and your journey there. I think you were born in the Ukraine? Yelena Yes, absolutely. Yes, I was born in the Crimea and peninsula of Ukraine and after I moved with my family because my parents, they were businessmen. Unfortunately for my parents I never inherited their business because I never wanted to. Our family business it's nothing to do with spirituality, it's food production and not very romantic but very useful for people. So they feed, my parents feed body and I probably feed mind and soul of

Starting point is 00:15:43 people that's how I would put it. So after getting my master's degree in diplomatic international economic relationship, and it's the best university actually in Ukraine, diplomatic university, I put my diploma on the table, said thank you to my father with a lot of respect and moved on in life. So I started to combine a kind of knowledge of numbers and the standing of numbers with spirituality. I blended it and my passion to astrology and the Balorology appeared. After I was very greedy for the knowledge all my life,

Starting point is 00:16:18 that's probably my biggest passion in life. I'm nonstop student and never enough for me in this case. So I started to embrace other things like astro-psychology and data healing and Reiki and whatever I touch, coaching independently, I converted it into a tool using and practicing professionally with my clients and they liked it very much. After when I was 27 I already accomplished my by the time master degree overseas again in psychology. I mixed it up, I created my personal method coaching through meditation. That's why I use meditation a lot because I know how it could be influential for you and how it can help you to overcome destructive

Starting point is 00:17:05 triggering moments in your life and I opened my first independent company in Monaco, Chile Life. It was yeah and everybody told me it's impossible. I said I don't believe in impossible until you're alive and here we are. I made it without anybody, without big investment or whatever. I was on my own, always proud of it. And my clients appreciated that very much because I brought to Fancy Monaco some, you know, tone of spirituality. And my company was of cultural, spiritual and mental growth. And people loved those boutique seminars.

Starting point is 00:17:40 And after COVID hit, and I understood, I used to live already by the time eight years in South of France. Two of them I spent in Monaco, one in Paris, and I realized understanding the culture because the main slogan of French people is profite de soleil, which means enjoy the sun. We do so in Florida, where I'm based right now, but American people are more driven for success and power, which I respect. Every nation and every trip can give you a lot for your personal journey. So I learned how to enjoy the life in France and I understood that after COVID it wasn't good time for business in South of France. So I realized this is the time to move on. I left my family because my family is still in south of France. And actually,

Starting point is 00:18:26 I moved to United States. Pete Slauson Wow. Well, welcome. Welcome. And now you're here. Jena Zvonk Thank you. Pete Slauson And so, you help a lot of your clients do stuff. I think, do we get a plugin for the podcast yet? Jena Zvonk No, we don't. Like right now, it's actually, you know, America, it's interesting country, I have to tell you. All my dreams came through here. Pete Slauson, all my dreams came true here. It's unbelievable. This country, when I was in France, I met my future husband. I moved actually already with him fully. And thanks to him, because

Starting point is 00:18:55 he knew I had a dream to do my own podcast. And I had it, I did it with Ukrainian celebrities. But I wanted to always do things American way. And he introduced me to his best friend since childhood and they are two great professionals in podcasting area. And they have a famous, famous bitch podcast and they actually have a line set of podcasts, AJ Benson and Micah Govino. So now I'm the co-host on the podcast with them, which is called

Starting point is 00:19:26 Relationships is a Bitch. Pete Slauson I like that title. Relationships is a Bitch. Mariana Pesce It is. Sometimes. Pete Slauson Sometimes. So, as we go out, anything more we need to talk about to get people to know you better, how they can reach out to you, of course, for consultations and stuff? Mariana Pesce You know, it's not my main thing I'm pushing right now. I just know that women love it about me when they hear out that I have a book with a fascinating

Starting point is 00:19:56 name, who cares about your ex. Yes, everybody has an ex. Yes, it's mostly for women, but still, you know, it's nothing against men. I speak very highly about men in that book. It's more about self-empowerment, how you can combine your authenticity with and stay a very woman, you know, very feminine, but succeed in life. So if any women are listening to us today,

Starting point is 00:20:24 maybe they would like to enjoy the book and have fun with it because it's knowledgeable, but it's a love story that takes place in New York, in LA and Europe partly. And yeah, my little baby with my husband is all up and why I did it. Chris, I wanted, I understood that America gives you idea of embracing the world and I realized that how many people I can hug with my light and with my love, not too

Starting point is 00:20:54 many because I'm still a human, I have my resources and I have my family as a woman. I have to carry my responsibilities. So this app, it's our common baby with Kenwood to deliver my message to people. Be curious, be passionate about yourself, be intrigued about yourself because everybody is unique for a reason. Find out what's your calling and follow it because it's nothing better in life than to wake up, hurry up to do your job, share this light with the other people. And actually, it's kind of a good drug, you know, if you can. I'm addicted to my work. And now it's an opportunity to embrace so many people because this is the app for people

Starting point is 00:21:37 who want to learn how to love themselves. You started from self-love and it's totally true because the base, the foundation of this app is self-love. No matter what kind of relationship you want to embrace, whether it's your family, friend or business partner or love partner. So learn how to love yourself, embrace yourself, your endless potential.
