Welcome to the Spiritual Hustler Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Zweig, multi seven figure serial entrepreneur, best selling author and branding and business coach. And this is a show where we are redefining the word hustle, reclaiming our true feminine nature of magnetism and putting down the self judgments and shame around loving to work and making a lot of money at it. On this show, you're going to learn how to stop hustling and start spiritually hustling by pressing play. You are now, now part of a new movement of women who don't hustle for money. We hustle for meaning. We don't hustle from lack. We hustle for love. We don't hustle from survival. We hustle for humanity's thriving. We hustle toward healing the ancestral programming of fear and step into a new understanding of safety in the body to receive. This shift isn't going to only heal your life.

It's going to make you a whole lot richer too.

Well, hello my beautiful, beautiful spiritual hustlers and welcome back to the podcast. I'm so happy to be with you guys. Do you know that this is honestly one of my favorite places to be, no matter what is going on in my life, what my day felt like, what my husband said to me, I'm just like, I get to podcast today and I get to be with you all in the beautiful dimension of all of this love and all of this sisterhood and all of this light and all of this consciousness. And I just really need you to know how much you guys mean to me that you have dedicated your time week to week to listening, to, being here. I really have touched my community in such a big way, as many of you probably know or saw if you follow me on Instagram or you've been listening to podcasts for a minute, or we just came out of our beautiful launch for the Feminine Frequency Business school. We closed the doors just a couple days ago and have the biggest and most beautiful and aligned cohort we've ever had. The Feminine Frequency is a movement, y', all, in case you didn't know. And these women that are rising into these rooms are the women that I've been looking for my whole life. You know, I take my own calls whenever we go into the call week, and everyone's like, you take these calls yourself. That's so unlike what other people do, I guess. And I'm like, this is my favorite part, to meet you guys, to know you, to understand your stories, to learn how we can weave in this space and time. So I just want to thank you. If you came to the Feminine Wealth Ignite, or if you came through the Feminine Frequency business school, or if you've never heard of it before and you're like, what is she even talking about? I just want you to know I love my community. You guys get me up every day. And you are the whole reason why I do what I do. I just wanted to. To take today's episode and not only reflect on so much of what I heard over the last few weeks talking to so many of you, but what I just have been feeling in the ether, as I like to say, how many of my friends and sisterhood in my local community in Nashville and women that I've been friends with for years and years, just this conversation around feeling like the season that we have been in is over and there's something new percolating that we can't quite see yet, but we know that's the future we're meant to rise into. And I have certainly been in those seasons so many times. And I'm going to talk about them today, and I'm going to talk about the signs that you can start to really look for, to identify that you are growing. Your current life, your current business, your current relationships, your current clients, your current community, your current place where you live. And not just the signs to know that it's happening, but what to really do about it. And I really just wanna say that, that when you're in a season that feels out of alignment, nothing is technically wrong. It's not bad, it's not good. It's just information. And if we can be really neutral about that, to begin, we have such a deeper state of homeostasis, of neutrality, of sovereignty, and not get hooked into the story or the drama or the emotions or the projections that other people are bad or that we're bad. So I just want to really even the playing field and give us all just one big permission slip to trust that everything, no matter what season we're in, whether good or bad, is always serving us. Okay? And I don't even like to use the word bad in alignment or out of alignment. All right. So I want to just also note that outgrowing your current season is often quiet. And a lot of women that I know and I see in my community and beyond sort of interpret what's happening like this discomfort, this dissatisfaction as a problem to fix versus really recognizing that it's just an invitation for greater expansion. Because many of us stay in this place of labeling our seasons as wrong, bad, something's broken, we try to fix it, right?

just tell ourselves, say some affirmations in the morning or get your energy right, or maybe it's a better night's sleep, or maybe I just need to, you know, spend a little less time with this group of people. And like, it's. There's something within me that I can just simply fix. Or women just continue to lower their standards or shrink their desires or distract themselves instead of admitting, of just saying, this doesn't feel right anymore. And I'm going to love myself deeply enough to honor that, to unpack that, to look at that, and really, truly be fully available to what is revealed versus shoving it down and giving it a story. So I'm going to give you the five signs that I have identified in my own seasons as well as those seasons that I see happening with women all around my world. And the first sign is you just feel very irritated by things that used to not irritate you at all, that you used to tolerate. I used to tolerate people, clients, team, having complete and total access to me because I wanted to feel of service and I wanted to feel like I was going the extra mile for every single person in my life because I care so much. It's not that I'm irritated by clients or people who overstep boundaries. I'm irritated by the part of me that continues to over deliver and over give and end up completely burnt out and somewhat resentful to no one's fault but my own. And I think it's really easy to name what you're irritated around you externally. Like, I don't like these friends anymore, or I don't, I don't want to be a part of this community anymore, or I can't handle small talk anymore. All fair and good. And I would encourage you to examine what you used to tolerate that irritates you today. But the invitation in this first sign is to really look at yourself. What are you tolerating within you? Are you no longer willing to tolerate how hard you are on yourself? Are you no longer willing to tolerate your pettiness or your reaction or your own tendency for drama? Are you no longer willing to tolerate the way that you enmesh yourself in relationships? These are things that require deep reflection, self responsibility, and accountability into truly changing the way that you move through life. And it starts by looking in the mirror. So that's number one.

Okay, you guys, here's the truth that most Female entrepreneurs never hear your nervous system is running your entire business, your entire life, not your mindset. So you can have all the vision and all the strategy, but if your body is carrying chronic stress, inflammation or pain, everything is always going to feel harder than it needs to be.

The second sign is that you crave death. Depth over volume. This is really about looking at your friend group, your sisterhood, your circle, and knowing that you don't need to have all the friends and all the connections and all the network in the world to have a very rich and deep life. I mean, we've all heard that quote, if you have two best friends, like, you're lucky. And if you have one best friend, you've basically won the lottery. I actually heard Gary Vaynerchuk once say, if you don't know him, you should look him up on a podcast. Like, how do you keep your success going? Like, how do you get up with all this energy every day? How do you stay focused? And his answer amazed me. He said, I have the tightest inner circle, Less than five people I could count on a hand. And those are the people that truly matter. That's the only thing that matters. And that is my secret to my success. And I think that when we really take stock of how much time we have in a day, truly how many hours we have in a week and the months in a year, I mean, it goes like that, you guys. It really does. And I want to give us all a really big, beautiful permission slip to be sovereign. Not every friendship relationship container coach is meant to be with you forever. There is that phrase a season, a reason, and a lifetime. And I'm here to implore you to really look at your seasons and to give yourself a break, that it's okay for seasons to be released and dissolved. And sometimes that includes relationships. The third sign is that you feel lonely even in rooms filled with people that were once your peers, your confidants, your tribe. If you're looking around your current life and you're saying to yourself, I don't fit here anymore, that is an invitation to honor that aloneness. Because there's a difference between loneliness, which is a very real feeling, and choosing aloneness. I will tell you that I had a big, big network in Chicago before I moved to Nashville. I mean, if you knew me, then it's kind of a joke. I was like a little social butterfly. I was invited to every single party. I was out five, six nights a week from like the ages of 26 to, like 34. I was a full on socialite. I went out all the time and ran in these big groups of the same, same people. And towards the end of that journey, before I left for Nashville and moved here permanently, I had never felt so lonely. I was like, none of this makes sense anymore. This just doesn't align to the frequency and the growth and the evolution that I have now created for myself in my own deeply personal way. I will tell you that I transitioned from the mindset that I'm lonely to I'm okay being alone in this. Because feeling alone is actually sweeter compared to being out of alignment any day. So if you are feeling lonely, I see you. You're never alone. You're here. Come into my world, sister. We got you. But the loneliness is typically an invitation to sit with your aloneness, to find your clarity for what really, truly matches to the energy of the room you really want to be in. And it's okay to walk out of those rooms. Number four, this one. I love. Your habits that you once felt like were your personality are all of a sudden beneath you. Examples of this are scrolling all the time or overworking every day or gossiping about people, any sort of chaos. Like, if you've clicked out of, like, that is not who I am anymore. And it's very evident that those things make you feel gross ins whenever you do them, or heavy or even shameful or like, not proud. That's okay. I said this on my podcast with my best friend Megan a couple weeks ago or months ago. She was on at the first episode of the year and she asked me, like, what is one of my biggest intentions for the year? And it all came down to, I just never want to burn out again. Because I was burnt out at the end of 2025, once again, due to a lot of reasons, you know, in my personal life, with my house and traveling and my dogs and my team and all of the things I've actually shared about on this podcast. And I said to Megan, I want to understand what it will require of me to never burn out again. And I have held true to that to the best that I have. And I know we're only in third month of 2026. I truly feel that over scheduling myself, saying yes to too many things, taking on too much is, yes, beneath me. But let me peel apart the layers of that, because those two words can be, I think, a little righteous. It's not beneath me in the 3D. Like, I'm too good to work that hard, or I don't need to work that hard, or I'm bad for working that hard. So I could just put that, like, beneath me. It's beneath the higher timeline. It's beneath the higher future self that I am always working towards stepping into in the truest alignment in the cleanest, most highest vibration of integrity. And so this is, again, about looking at yourself in a different way, honoring that everything that has been, has served you to be here where you are. And if you feel like your habits are beneath your higher self, it's simply a benchmark for you to hold every single day to attune to the woman that you decide you're going to be. And every day, you get to decide it's a choice. So am I over scheduling myself? Not really. Am I saying no a lot more?

Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But I am working towards stepping into a brand new season where I never burn out again. And I do believe that it is possible for not only me, but for all of us together, because you're here listening to the Spiritual Hustler podcast. And it's okay to hustle. It's okay to work and love what you do. I say this all the time. I do. But to hustle for love, it's what I say in the intro of this show. And I still stand behind it. And that includes most of all, the love that you have for yourself. And the fifth sign that you are outgrowing your current season is the constant fantasizing about the radical change, right? Like, just, oh, if I could live in another city. Oh, if I could completely quit my job and start my own business. Oh, if I could just end this relationship and go have sex with someone else. I mean, just, let's just be real. If you're fantasizing about radically changing your circumstances, your life, your business, your relationships, that is a sign that something is out of alignment. And I will tell you that I fantasized about leaving Chicago for so long. I was in Chicago for 20 years, you guys, and I didn't leave until 2024 permanently. But I remember in my best friendships when I was in my, like late 20s and 30s, so I'm talking like 20, 11, 12, 13, 14, and my friends would move. Like, I had a friend move to Austin. I had a friend move to la. I had a friend move to New York. I had a friend move to Australia. And I was like, I wasn't jealous, but I kind of was. I was fantasizing about leaving a place that I had been born into and just happened to roll up after college and live in because I'm from the suburbs of Chicago and everyone goes home after college. At least I did. And then you move to the city. And it wasn't until I found where I was supposed to be that I really feel like my whole life started to really open up. And that fantasy was something that was percolating inside of me for so many years, even unconsciously, until it finally came to the forefront. And that season on so many levels, just to be straight up with my company, simply be that I sold a lot of the relationships that I had in Chicago. Just the person that I was there dissolved. And it didn't feel painful, it felt right. And that's what happens when you go through this exercise of really examining with love, with self awareness, with self responsibility, that this isn't you crumbling, this is you expanding. And outgrowing your current life can often feel like an identity death without, you know, the physical relocation, like identity death feels very lonely. It can feel very disorienting, it can feel very unstable. There's always going to be a bit of that or maybe a lot of that, because the old you was built for a previous ceiling and you just didn't know that it was there until you do. And so the new you requires new standards, new rooms, a new self concept, potentially a new business, a new career, a new nervous system capacity, a new relationship, a new friend group, a new truth. And the truth is you don't have to burn down your old life. You really don't. You just need to adjust the inputs. As I like to say, your environment is either reinforcing your past. When I say your environment again, it's your job, it's your community, it's your relationships, it's your city, or it's reintroducing your future. So some quick ways to freshen up your current season. I would absolutely recommend doing an audit of your digital environment. Like unfollow people. Curate new inspiration, reduce your consumption, Stop the scrolling. I would upgrade your room access, meaning who has access to you? What rooms are you entering? Smaller circles. Invest in proximity to coaches, mentors, masterminds, containers that help hold the vision for the woman that you are stepping into into this new season. And if you want some quick win for freshening up your current season, look around your physical space. What's the lighting like? How much clutter do you have? What's your wardrobe saying about yourself? What does your workspace look like? Step into her now in the biggest and the smallest of ways. It all matters. I want to end with this because this is the part about outgrowing your current seasons that I don't think is talked about a lot, is the grief that can come with it. Not just missing maybe the relationship or the community or the city, but maybe missing who you once were. Like there are definitely moments on my journey where I reflect back on myself, specifically as an entrepreneur, where I have so much nostalgia for that girl who had those big dreams, that had the naivety to do them in the first place, that had the energy to work that hard. I don't necessarily miss that part of myself, but I can grieve them because they're gone. And I can be grateful for them because they got me here. Growth is always going to cost you familiarity, but you are never, ever lost. You are just shedding. And just because you know it's time to shed doesn't mean you're not grateful for the friends and the relationships and the cities and the parts of yourself that got you where you are. You are just expanding. And here's the thing that really no one talks about that I'm going to leave you with, and then I'm going to give you a big permission slip with today is that it's allowed to be quiet. I love you all so much and I will see you on the next episode of the Spiritual Hustler podcast. Bye, guys.
