This is the Spiritual Hustler podcast. Hello my beautiful, beautiful spiritual hustlers and welcome back to the podcast. You guys, I am so grateful that you are here. I feel so blessed that this community of lightworker women continues to grow so strong and I just feel so honored that you take the time every single freaking week and show up here to spend some time with the Spiritual Hustler community. I am your host, Jess. If you're new, hello, nice to meet you. If you're not new, welcome back. As always, you know what we talk about, we dive into all things business, branding, leadership, how to make moves, how to make money, how to be an entrepreneur. Today in a very unique vibration, the feminine vibration, what it really looks like to stand in your feminine power as a woman in business while also not negating the most important part of ourselves, which is our spiritual selves, which are just here having a human experience. And so we talk about all things spirituality on this podcast because I do not believe those two things are mutually exclusive. And I have been waiting to do this episode for just a couple weeks now. I, I only do this a couple times a year and this one is one of my absolute favorite types of shows to do where I ask you guys, my community over on Instagram, to send me in your questions on what you want me to talk about on this podcast. And honestly, you guys, I might have to do this in two parts because there were a lot of questions and I am just going to dive right in because there was some really important questions here and I want to start with one of the questions that I don't think I've really talked about on this podcast, which is how to inject the feminine in a masculine dominated corporate America. I got a lot of corporate America girlies in my community and you know, I used to be a corporate America girly. I don't know if a ton of people know that about me, but I have been an entrepreneur for, God, 18 years. I don't even know how long I'm kind of dating myself. But during those 18 years, I took a two year, what I would call bird walk into corporate America. This was after I went broke for my first business and had all this credit card debt and I got offered so unexpectedly this big job in corporate America with like benefits and a payroll check and the bonuses and the corporate card and all the fucking bureaucracy, red tape, misogynistic, patriarchal infrastructure. And I learned a lot. I was actually quite blindsided by that experience because I had only known what it was like to run my own company up until that point as an entrepreneur in the space of women empowerment. So go into corporate America and it was gnarly. But you know what? So is a lot of the world when we talk about masculine dominated corporate America, I don't want to call out men as bad. I really don't. I think there are a lot of beautiful men in this world that are true allies and advocates for the feminine. When I talk about the patriarchy, which I talk a lot about on this podcast and in my books and in my work and in my social media and in my programs like, I'm never talking about men specifically, I'm talking about the patriarchy, the toxic masculine as a system, okay? As a paradigm, as a dimension that is unfortunately co opted by its own ignorance. And so the question here is how to inject the feminine in a masculine dominated corporate America. And I want to broaden that question and really frame it as how to inject the feminine in a toxic masculine dominated world. Because whether you're in corporate America or you're not, this question applies to you. And my answer to this is very simple and I do not mean to over simplify it, but this is the truth and this is what I believe. To inject the feminine in anywhere, in any scenario, in any relationship, in any boardroom, is to live, lead with the heart, to lead with it wide open, to allow yourself to be felt, to experience your own feelings out loud, to share and express your truth, to lead from a place of love, kindness, patience, presence, empathy, compassion, connection, a sense of service that is the Heart. There's so many more things I could say about the heart, like joy and play and pleasure and how it activates magnetism. But I'm not even talking about that. That's why I say it's so simple. We are so desperate for more heart centered leadership, heart centered vision, a heart centered world. We are leading from the ego, the mind, the unconscious, the wounded ego. And it is from the wounded parts of ourselves, unconsciously, that is the toxic masculine patriarchal system. It's not heart led. And so when you stand in any environment as a woman, even if it's simply meeting a stranger and looking them in their eyes and shaking their hand and smiling, opening your heart, beaming the energy of your heart, physically feel it open, physically feel it in your body, beating with emotion of gratitude, of presence of kindness. When you do that, you shift the frequency in the entire fucking room, in the entire fucking corporate building, in the entire fucking grocery store, on the fucking Internet. When you lead from that vibration, people can feel it and we take it for granted. And I'm not going to give you a strategy of how to create more flow and balance in the corporate schedule and the quarterly plans and road mapping and off site doesn't need to be that way. It's not that complicated. Leading from the heart. I could do a whole podcast just about that. And clearly I am doing so. So I'm going to move on to the next question. But I love that question. So I got this really fun question I just have to answer. I want to answer questions this from my heart. Just kidding. No, quickly and honestly, someone asked, how do you balance between extravagance and adorning ourselves? And sister, I just want to fudgeing, say like you're hearing from a Leo. So take my codes. I think that extravagance and indulgence and being wasteful, I'm not ever going to celebrate that, you know, buying shit just to like flash that you own a specific car or bag for, like someone else's approval or to showcase that you got, you know, flex and money and whatever. I do think that there's a layer of that that is a little gross and unnecessary. But I don't think that this is this community and I feel like we should adorn ourselves with extravagance every day. The little extravagances to the big extravagances. Adorning ourselves doesn't mean wearing diamonds. It means rubbing rose oil on our arms and taking a minute to sensually connect with our beautiful feminine body. It is taking Friday off extravagant, isn't it? Adorning ourselves in clothes. You guys know how much I love working with my stylist, Holly Cogan, and she was on the podcast. I'll drop a link to our recent interview where we really break down the power of dressing for the woman that you want to be, dressing for the life that you want, wearing clothes that make you feel confident and come alive so that your energy shifts when you walk through the street, when you walk through a room, you become magnetic because you feel like a queen inside. That is the whole point of T's work and why I work with her. It's not about labels and shopping and what's in my closet. It's about how I feel when I
- [09:13]
C
truly, truly connect within.
- [09:15]
A
And we do live in a material world. We're spiritual women living in a material world. And I truly feel that if whatever makes you feel adorned and extravagant lights you up and makes you feel beautiful and radiant and empowered and confident in your own skin, like babe, that's your birthright. So live in that vibration and lean into the extravagance that is on your terms, that lights your specific soul up. And adorn yourself in something beautiful and magical and sensual and pleasureful and every day.

It's the year of the horse sisters. You know, I've been talking about this. The year of fun and freedom and being gorgeously unbothered. And if that means adorning yourself more than you ever have before in your life in 2026 with all the extravagance that you want, go for it. I celebrate that. And we should absolutely celebrate that. Not just in 26, but in every year of our lives for the rest of our lives. Okay, I would love to answer this question. I'm so happy we went there. Somebody asked what took you down the alien rabbit hole, what radicalized you and where did you start? I love this question. You guys think I'm radical? I guess when you publicly admit to being a Palladian, that makes you a little radical. I guess. I'll take it. I love the acro, the shortened term for that word, which is rad. You know how you always used to say that? You guys like any 80s 90s babies out there? Like, where did that word go? Super rad to be an alien. I went down the rabbit hole in 2018 at a retreat, and I got connected to this incredible shaman. I actually wrote about this in my book, the Light Work. She wouldn't really call herself a shaman. She was more of, like, a healer. Anyway, I made an appointment with this woman and nobody really told me, like, what she did or how she did it. It was just like, go see her. She's amazing. You will have a life changing experience with her. So back in the day, by the way, this is a massive Sidebar. I never really go see healers anymore off of the Internet. I don't really recommend that. I've done enough sessions in my life to sort of snuff out what's legit, what's not. I'll work with people that I either know personally or come highly recommended personally. But this is just a sidebar that's coming through that I feel like needs to be said. Practice discernment. If someone's website looks cool and their Instagram looks great, like, doesn't mean that they're legit. Like, do your due diligence. Don't act on impulse. Really sit with your own intuition. Find your sovereignty. You know, there's so many amazing healers out there, quote, unquote. But not everybody is for you. And to truly trust your own intuition when it comes to hiring people to come into your field and access your aura and body and nervous system, like, you've gotta really, really, really be careful. Okay. I wasn't planning on saying that, but that just seems to have come through. So back to my rad alien lineage. I went and saw this woman. She came highly recommended. She was actually somewhat a part of the group that I was traveling with. And I had spent some time with her. And I laid down on her table. There was no drugs, there was no medicine, there was no altering substances. There was a massage table that I sat on my back face up with a white candle, no music. And she just placed her hand on my. My head, both of her hands on the top of my head, and just light, kind of held my crown, if you will, and lightly just placed her two hands very gently on each side of my head, like slightly above my ears. I'm doing it right now. And we closed our eyes, both of us together, and sat that way. She sat right behind me. And I was lying on the table for an hour. And it was during that hour that I went on a full journey home. Like, that's the only way I can describe that journey, was I went to another dimension that felt like the biggest sense of home I'd ever experienced in my body, my life, my psyche, my emotions, my heart up until that moment. And I was like 37, 38. And the reason why I say it was the most home I'd ever felt was because I've never felt home here, you guys. I've always struggled being on Earth. I never felt like I belonged to. I was a total outcast in high school and middle school. I never had a group of friends. I was super, super lonely. I was like A wallflower. I never had a group of friends, I never had a clique. I certainly was the black sheep in my family. I never felt like I belonged within my family system. I never really loved where I lived. I never liked how I felt. The only time I've ever really truly been happy on the planet has been when I'm in Costa Rica and Nashville. Like I just found Nashville a few years ago, which is why I talk about it all the time. That's the real reason why I talk about it all the time. Because I finally feel home, like, happy to be on planet Earth. Because for so many years, my whole entire life, I didn't know where I should plant roots. I didn't feel good in so many parts of the world. Like, I enjoy traveling. It's fun to go to London and to Miami and to Bangkok, and I've been all over the world. But never did I really feel like I was home, if that makes sense. And I certainly didn't ever feel that way growing up where I lived most of my life for like 40 years. And so back to this session, when I was in this journey with this woman and I felt this sensation. I didn't just feel the sensation. I was there for like an hour, like I was home. It was this felt, felt sense of home. And I never felt that before, never that. Fully and viscerally and safely and beautifully. And like it filled me, it made me feel whole, it made me feel complete, made me feel peace. I don't know how to explain it, unless you've ever felt like your own feeling of home, wherever you may be and however you identify and wherever you may live in the world. But it's a real longing, right, to feel like you are home. So anyway, and I'm getting emotional, I wasn't planning on this. I kind of come back down into my body and the session is over. And I remember as I was coming back into my body, my eyes were closed and I saw 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,. 1, 1, 1, 1. Like all of these ones, like if it was like a barcode of ones underneath my eyelid, like my eyeballs were looking into my eyelids, I could like see it. And there were ones, like floating across my eyelids, underneath my eyelids, on my eyeballs. I know that sounds crazy, but you get the image. And I sit up and it's over. And I was like, what was that? And this woman, because she's so amazing, was like, she saw what I saw. Like she journeyed me, she knew exactly where I had gone. And I told her about the ones. I was like, what the fuck was that at the end? And she was like, that's just confirmation. I was like, confirmation of what? And she said to me, you are Pleiadian. You're from the constellation Pleiades, and you just went back to your home, your original star family. And I was like, what the are you talking about? I was literally like, I'd never heard. I was like, plate. What a platient. Like, how do you spell that? Like, what are you? Like, a star says, like, as flabbergasted and freaked out as the average person would be. I just was like, I don't even know exactly what this woman is actually referring to, but there was something about what she said and how confident and convicted she was and how amazing I had felt like she mapped my sensation. And even though it sounded crazy in my head, in my body, I felt she was right. I couldn't deny there was something really right about what she had just affirmed. And it wasn't like, oh, this woman just told me something cool and crazy. It's like, I'm gonna listen to her. I checked in with my body, and I was like, there is something so viscerally accurate in my cells based on what this woman is telling me, even though I can't fully digest it in my brain. So I am an avid, insatiable researcher. You maybe don't know that about me, but I am, like, one of those people that goes down all of the rabbit holes and just loves to know. I'm an information junkie. And I got home from that trip, and I searched the Pleiadians online, which led me to Barbara Marciniac's book, the Bringers of the Dawn. Now, Barbara Marciniac has written multiple books about the Pleiadians. She's a Palladian conduit channeler. She's kind of off the grid right now. I don't think you can find her. But she was a big deal and big name in the 90s. Kind of, like, brought the Pleiadian conversation not even to the masses, because it's kind of a fringe thing, becoming a lot more slowly. And slowly. I wouldn't say mainstream, but maybe, like, midstream. Right? But in the 90s, it was quite underground, and she was a pioneer in bringing their messages to humanity through her books. And I read Bringers of the dawn, and a second I read this book, I was like, this is me. This is every single fucking word of that book. And it's a very dense book. It wouldn't necessarily be appealing to, like the average reader. But every word made sense to me. It just affirmed everything that I had always felt in the depths of my heart, my soul, my consciousness, my unconscious mind. Like everything that I have been feeling my entire life up until that moment was articulated in that book in a way I could have never articulated it for myself. I was like, this is exactly how I feel. This is exactly what I believe. This is exactly how I see the world. This is exactly what I know to be true. This is exactly how I would describe myself. This is exactly who I am and how I tick. It was mind blowing. And I read all of her books. I read all of Barbara Marciniak's books. I have worked with the Pleiadian Council at my altar in Mount Shasta. I channeled them during the light work when I wrote that book. I work with them all the time. And I feel not necessarily like I go up and like channel the alien Pleiadian, like communication. I feel them in my. My heart. I feel connected to their mission. And their mission is why I'm here. And their mission is the light. Their mission is the light and to empower humanity to remember who they really are, which are limitless creators of a beautiful, thriving world. That is their mission. And I feel very responsible for that mission. And so hopefully this was a long winded answers to that question. And I don't think I've ever fully gone as deep on it as I have just now. So thank you for asking that. I could talk about that all day. So I'm going to take just a few more questions. I got this one question that I just want to point to. The question was, how do you stay connected to a spouse who is not as spiritually aligned as you are? I did a whole entire interview with my husband Brian on this exact topic. It's called what to do when your partner isn't as spiritual as you are. And I'm going to leave a link to that podcast in the show notes so that you can go listen to it. And my husband was a champ. And I'll just add one thing just in a concise bit of advice on that question, but go listen to that entire interview is you have to stop telling him or her or them what you want them to do, to change, to be like you. I think the more I let go of my expectation and desire for my husband to jump on the spiritual train with me and evolve and just started doing my own work, the more he was able to witness my beliefs and what I was saying in action. And that motivated him to look inside of himself and start to make his own shifts toward doing his own work. But I could never tell him that. I had to show him, through my own life's flourishing and expression and expansion, what was possible by being the work in action. So go listen to the podcast because it really is a good one and one of my highest downloaded podcasts I've ever done. So I'll answer this one. This will be my last question for today. And this one came through actually from a sister I know very well. And she said, how do you trust so deeply in the contraction before expansion in your finances? And, girl, I'm gonna share honest things now. Not that I don't share honesty on this podcast all the time, but this is just coming through. You know, I channel these particular questions and answers. I don't obviously script them. I just speak what's on my heart. And I will say that I have been through my share of contraction and expansion financially my whole life. And I went through a very deep, dark night of the soul when I was 33 years old. So about 10 years ago, 11 years ago, where I went completely broke and I literally had no money. And every single thing felt expensive, even like a $5 coffee. Like, I had no money. And not only did I have no money, the whole world from the outside and thought I had money because I was running a business and no one knew how poorly it was doing. So on top of the actual trauma that comes from scarcity, true financial scarcity, was all of this self loathing that came from being an imposter and living a life that felt so inauthentic. I've been to the depths of the contraction, and I will say that what happens in that contraction is you find at least this is the invitation. You find the truth of yourself that has value and worthiness and merit. That has nothing to do with how much money you make. The invitation is to dig deep into the core of your soul, to recognize, regardless of how much or how little one has, that you are a fucking diamond. You are one of a kind. You are precious.
- [26:34]
C
You are rare.
- [26:35]
A
You are still so worthy of love and, and affirmation and blessings and good things happening to you, even if you have no money in your bank account. That is the flex, the growth edge, the invitation of what scarcity invites us into. It's like, how deeply can I be brought to my knees and still trust myself and trust my path and trust that I am worthy and that there is a light at the end of this tunnel? Even if I cannot see it. And I will say that the more I anchored into the moment of scarcity and all of that misalignment was the true birth of my spiritual journey. Like, yes, I've been talking to trees since I was a little girl and like, started taking yoga when I was in high school and went to Ireland at 19 and met my grandmother's spirit. I'm going to talk about all of this in the light work, and I've talked about it elsewhere. But my biggest spiritual initiation, aside from Egypt, which came later, you know, in my early 40s when I broke down from all the money that I made to be ironically true, that breakdown at 33, which was like my Jesus year, was when I never felt more scarce in my life. And I learned the most about abundance, like true abundance. And it didn't come from finally figuring out how to be better at saving my money or hustling harder or building a great brand and having a business model that got clients. Like, all of that happened after I started to recognize the treasure of my own soul and the real dharma purpose that I was really here to do. And I combined those two things in the way that I started showing up and telling my story. It became my come from. My desire was to truly be of service with that. One last thing I will say on this front, because I have so much to say, is I actually started working with the goddess Lakshmi. And Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of prosperity and blessings and fortune and abundance. And I brought her into my life in the form of a tiny little gold statue. And I started to attune to her. I started to pray to her, I started to offer her blessings and flowers and water and honey and fruit like I would put it. I made a little altar. I really have to say that was a big shift. I still have that goddess statue on my shelf in my new office. I'll never ever, ever not have her. And the frequency of Lakshmi teaches you that you are abundance.
- [29:16]
C
That is your true nature.
- [29:17]
A
And you don't have to do anything or earn anything or build a business around anything for that to be true. And I think when I was able to partner with her as a guide during the contraction, I really felt she was an ally in my expansion. And things started to move and shift. Magic is real and you've gotta believe. And there are so many beautiful rituals and ceremonies and intentions that you can incorporate into your life that truly pay reverence to forces unseen to remember that you are a mere mortal and that you really cannot do this work of expansion in whatever direction, whatever way, whether that's financially, in relationships, in business, in your health alone. You can't expand alone. It takes a village. It takes guides. It takes partners, it takes mentors, it takes coaches. It takes a community. It takes a village, both in the cosmic dimension and in this third dimension. And I want to thank you for being my village. I want to thank you for asking me these questions today. I want to thank you for being so honest and vulnerable in the DMs that then allowed me to come on and be so honest and vulnerable so that every single one of you that is listening gets to share in this collective conversation of light and empowerment and truth and authenticity. And I hope that today served you. I really, really love the Q&As. They're such a gift to be able to just come on and share what you guys want to hear because this show is really for you, all about you. Even though I use my own stories, I simply use them as guideposts and mirrors and permission slips and keys to unlock what is truly possible for you. I love you all so, so much. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being a part of this conversation every week on the Spiritual Hustler podcast, and I will see you on the next episode.
