Welcome to the Spiritual Hustler podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Zweig, multi seven figure serial entrepreneur, bestselling 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 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. This is the Spiritual Hustler podcast. Well, hello my beautiful spiritual hustlers and welcome back to the podcast. I am your host, Jessica and I am as always, so blessed, so privileged, so honored to be here with all of you each week where we unpack the gorgeous, necessary, vital intersection and connection between business and spirituality. To be a spiritual hustler today is something you should be so proud of, that you should wear as a crown on top of your queen life to really stand in the feminine power that you have as a woman on this planet at this time, who is ambitious, who wants to make a big difference, who wants to be wealthy, is willing to work hard, who loves to work hard, and is doing it from a completely different come from than we've been conditioned to believe we have to do it from. And that is really what we talk about on this show in all of its beautiful nuances and expressions, whether it's about business itself or the quantum and the spiritual connection that we all have to the universe. And however you define that and we really peel it open, conversation by conversation. And today's conversation is especially powerful. Every conversation I bring into this community is such a gift to me because I get to sit down with these incredible women and, and get myself uplifted and activated. But knowing that this is listened to by thousands of people is just truly a an honor that I take so seriously. I am so intentional with the women that I bring into the space for all of you because I know we all need their medicine. And today's guest is extra special because this is not Only a woman that I admire and has come into my studio to talk about her expertise and thought leadership around being unreachable. But she's also one of my closest friends, a woman that I have known for, gosh, over 10 years. Maybe longer, actually. Yeah, definitely longer. I've known ria for almost 15 years, doing the math in my head, and Rhea is the reason why I'm an author. So if I hadn't met Rhea and our friendship hadn't evolved the way it did, I would have never written my book be I would have never written my book, the Light Work if it wasn't for her presence in my life. And we've been on these parallel tracks, even though we have very different lives, we have very different identities. She's a Scorpio, I'm a Leo. She has a daughter.
Rhea Fry
I have dogs.
Jessica Zweig
We have very different businesses. We've built them in very different ways. There is such a true sisterhood that her and I have on wanting to live our lives and take other women with us in a way that is alternative. I'll use that word, alternative. We're both women who don't follow the rules, who live life on our own terms, who have accepted our unique assignments. And Rhea's journey is one that I have long admired because she just doesn't do it like anyone else. She has really created a one of a kind lifestyle and career path. And the way that she optimizes her body and her mind and her wellness and her spiritual practice is literally like no one else on the planet. And I think that today's conversation is going to unlock a brand new possibility for the way in which you engage with the world as much as how you choose to design your day, to how you really embrace your own spiritual identity, having a human experience. She's one of the most awake women I have ever met and is really setting an example and creating a movement with her unreachable message and her new unreachable podcast and her new unreachable business and her new unreachable platform. You know, I talk about this a little bit in the interview, but a couple weeks ago, I turned my phone off for three days. I literally turned my phone off for three full days. And I swear to God, they were at the best three days I've had in a long time. We talk a lot about why that is so radical to turn off your freaking phone, why it's so liberating, why it's so healing, and what happens when we become unreachable to the world and finally become reachable to ourselves. And this conversation is really here to inspire you to radically reconnect with the sacred technology that you are. How to live more intentionally in a hyper tech driven world. How that is a path to spiritual connection. How to really achieve more actually by doing less. There is so much gold that this woman has been working on in her own life that she's now bringing to the masses. And so this is more than just an interview for me. This is a real homecoming for my friendship with Rhea. It is a real celebration of the woman that she has become kind of behind the scenes to really step out for all of you as a guide, as a teacher, as a sister, to give us all permission to really disconnect from the programming, from the matrix, from the density that this world has created for us in rapid scale over the last 20 years compared to the last hundreds of thousands of years. It's not normal the way that we are actually living, the way the human body is designed to thrive. We are up against a machine that is making a lot of us tired, sick, burnt out, out of alignment. And this conversation today is really an offering home to our true nature. And so if you don't know who Rhea Fry is, I'm just going to briefly tell you a little bit about her. She's a number one bestselling, award winning author of numerous nonfiction, thriller and women's fictions novels. She's actually lost count how many books she's written. So that just tells you how prolific she is as an author. But she's not only an author for her own career, but she is a sought after coined book doula. Helping other people birth their books. She has guided over 500 first time authors, celebrities and public figures to secure top literary agents land six figure book deals. I was one of those clients. And achieve best seller status. Rhea is a a true expert in the publishing industry. But after years of writing and empowering others to write and really building a business around constant doing, Rhea is now pioneering a bold and brand new movement called Unreachable. You're going to learn all about what that transformative work looks like today. And she's really helping people like you, like me, ambitious, busy women and men, frankly, everyone disconnect from toxic tech, media and relationships and reconnect with the sacred technology that resides within us all. And you can learn more about everything she's doing at unreachable life and riafry.com I will leave all the links to all of her things in the show notes. You're going to want to go tap in. She just launched a podcast. She's working on a whole bunch of incredible things for her community at large. And I really believe that this conversation, you guys are amongst the very first to see this and to hear about this. And you're going to look back in a year from now when Ria's unreachable message is making waves and say, yeah, I remember that conversation with her. I was at the precipice of this whole new movement. And you're going to be so grateful that you listened. And after you listen, I maybe can encourage you to turn off your phone and flow tap back in and remember who you really are and how you're truly designed to thrive. Without further ado, here is my incredible interview with Ria Fry.
Rhea Fry
Ria Fry.
Jessica's why I can't believe we're doing this.
Finally.
I know. It's finally. I mean, every time I get to.
Jessica Zweig
Be with you is, like the biggest gift.
Rhea Fry
And I'm so happy to have you on my show.
I'm so honored to be here. Truly, this is like, a big deal. Well, special.
Jessica Zweig
You are special.
Rhea Fry
You're, like, the most special to me. We have been on such a journey. I've known you for, what, over 10 years?
Wait, yeah. Over. Way over.
We go way back. We've both been on such a huge roller coaster trajectory of our personal and professional lives, and I cannot wait to dig into where you are today. But before I get into all of that, I'm going to ask you my very first question.
Bring it.
I ask every guest, what are you currently spiritually hustling for?
My own sacred divinity. I am really connecting back to that power that does exist within all of us. The power that I feel like is programmed out of all of us with all the distractions and, of course, living in patriarchy. But I have really reconnected most recently just with my own, like, divine feminine power that's always been there, but it is awake. And I am. I am all for it. So I just feel I'm giving myself. I'm listening to my body in a way that I never have before. I'm just really creating space for myself. And it's interesting because I guess the word hustle, I don't like what that word traditionally means, but I am hustling for that space and for that. Yeah. Sacred time for myself in a way that I never have before. Like, it's the most important thing to me. It's non negotiable.
Wow. And you've Been pretty, I would say, like boundaried in a positive way. The way you've structured your life for a long time has been unique and yet you're at this place today that is beyond, I think, anything you've really done around yourself before. And you're, you know, you're a writer, you're, you're an author, you help other people become authors like me. And that has been your dream. You know, you started that business a couple years ago and why don't you tell people about the right way and how that's evolved?
Yeah, so I mean, I've been in the writer author publishing space for 20 years. It's literally been 20 years officially.
How many books have you written? I was trying to do. Come on, tell us.
11, 12, 13. I really, I really have stopped counting because I don't measure my success that way anymore. Like, it's very interesting but, but it has officially been 20 years since I've been helping writers actually, and then since I published. So my journey's been really long. I had a book come out when I was 22 that sounds amazing. Like that sounds amazing. Published at 22. But it was a nightmare. Nightmare. Publisher. Did everything wrong. Didn't know what I was doing, bless my little heart. And so I really decided to like dive deep into the publishing industry and just learn everything that I could about it because I didn't know what I was doing. I just wanted to be published more than anything. And, and during college I took all of these classes on the craft and I never had a single class on the business of publishing. How to make money, how to advocate for yourself, how to sign a contract or negotiate. So that was my journey. I started doing that for myself and then just kind of organically started helping other people. I'm really like that. If I'm excited about something, I'm a manifestor in human design and my whole purpose here is just to share what I know and what I'm excited about. So I just started helping writers and my advice and my editing or working on their non fiction book proposals. It started to really work. So I, you know, while I was publishing books and I was becoming more of a fiction writer, I started attracting a lot of people who wanted to write nonfiction. And I have four books in the nonfiction space, health and wellness space from forever ago. But I really found that people would come to me, they would want to be published, but then they were just really overwhelmed. Even if they were CEOs, execs, you know, leaders in their space, the publishing industry Is a very.
A black box.
It is a black box, and there's just not enough information around it. It's very overwhelming. So I helped people very clearly, you know, define what their goals were, pick the publication path. I would explain, like, the two or three publication paths, and then help them get their books out into the world. And when I decided to, like, I'm doing this as a business at the top of 2020, before the pandemic hit, I had 100 clients. 100. And you know how long a book proposal is. There are a hundred pages.
Jessica Zweig
Yes, I do.
Rhea Fry
And so, you know, to date, I've helped over so many authors, like land agents, land big book deals, become bestselling authors with this methodology that I kind of came up with that actually works for people. Thank you. But during that time, you know, I love helping writers. I love writing, but I found myself kind of just shrinking into these two areas. There's so much more with my life and to my life that I want to share and that I'm excited about how I live my life, how I want other people to feel and to again remember their own divinity and their own power. And so I found myself, like, I was cranking myself book after book. I've had eight books come out in six years with two publishers. And you know what a launch is like. I don't launch like you.
Nobody launches like Jessica.
No, no one does. But I still really. I don't know, I do events and, you know, just, you're. You're there, you're on. And it's this cycle. And so I started to feel like a factory farm of ideas and. And just cranking books out and cranking books out. And I noticed every time a book came out, I didn't feel in my soul the way that I thought that I should. Like, I watch like, you know, when you're opening your box of books and that. Absolutely joy. And it's not that I don't care about my books, but I started to realize I was evolving out of my own dream, this dream career that I had built. I've never. Oh, that just gave me. But it's funny because I've never done the typical 9 to 5. I've never worked a normal job. And I was like, I'm gonna make my quote, unquote, dream career, my real life, and then help other people do the same thing. And somewhere along the line, like, my soul just started to cry for something that was more all encompassing. There's a lot of parts about being an author, fiction specifically, not Nonfiction that I feel crammed into this little box and I'm only talking about this one thing. And I. I just find myself, like, really wanting to expand and explore and help people in a different way. So that's kind of where I am. I'm evolving out of this. I'm not saying I'll never write fiction again, but I. I really feel myself, like, ready to fly into something new.
And you're doing it.
I'm doing it. You're doing it. Yeah, it's exciting.
I mean, 500 books is a hustle.
It's so much. And that's like not even including ghost writing and editing other people's books. And it's. It is a gift. I love it and I am happy to, to work with people. You know, one thing that I've done differently in my business. And again, I'm not a seven figure business person. I'm a multiple six figure business human. But I have done it all via word of mouth and referral only. No social media, no paid marketing, nothing. It is not the smartest business strategy, I will say, because of the massive ebbs and flows, But I wanted it to feel really organic. And I also wanted periods of rest. I did not want to be working 24 hours a day. I'm a huge advocate of taking rest. And so I have luckily been able to kind of ebb and flow. But with my own work and my, like, me cranking out books, it's just, it's not been as much rest as I would like. So I am intentionally building my new kind of brand and business model to really suit the way that I want to live.
Amen. You know, I loved what you said when I asked you about the spiritual hustler. Like you're hustling for the feminine.
Yes.
The divine feminine within you.
Yes.
And you and I, I think, both really thrive in the masculine. We're so good at that shit. And at the same time, you and I have had, you know, separate trajectories, but they've intersected throughout a decade and more of really craving that slowness. And to hear you designing your future around that energy is just so exciting for me. For you. Now, I know that you just came from a Joe Dispenza retreat, and I know that that's been a really big, like, bucket list thing for you to do, and you finally did it. I know that that was profound and I haven't even talked to you about it, so can you take us up to that? That was just a couple weeks ago.
It was so for those who aren't familiar with Dr. Joe Dispenza, I feel like a lot of your listeners are going to know who he is, but he really explains the neuroscience and biology of change. So it is very entrenched in data and science. It's really kind of showing how to optimize the hardware and software of our brains to like lose our old minds and create a new mind, which I love. And so for people who want to explore, I mean, it really is spiritual. I mean, you are, you are connecting to a part of yourself that you might not have ever connected with before. But he's doing it through all of the data in science. So a lot of people who are like, no, that's too woo. I don't want to do that. It's not like that. So I gathered with. I've been following him for years. I've been doing his meditations. He's an author, about selling author. He has numerous books. If any of the listeners want to read one of them. I actually think Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself is one of his best ones. It's so simple. It really explains all the terminology, everything that he talks about. But this retreat, I, you know, I kind of went in blind. Did you? I did. I know a few people who have done it, but I was like, I don't want to have expectations, I just want to go in kind of blind.
Jessica Zweig
Did you go by yourself or did you?
Rhea Fry
By myself. I had three friends who were also doing it, but we each chose. You choose a color. You have to choose this color based on like a quote, wherever you gravitate toward. And I picked the green group. So you're with your group the whole week and you like rotate where you sit. I was one of 1900 individuals. For seven days. We did 40 hours of meditation. 35 neuroscience, neuroendocrine, epigenetic lectures. We did three coherence healings, meaning we were actually healing other people with chronic sicknesses. A lot of them had cancer. I witnessed people walking out of wheelchairs and how it literally happened on our walking meditations. We were meditating about six to eight hours a day. But I don't even like that word meditation because I think a lot of people think, oh, you're just sitting quietly and I'm going to clear my mind. This is moving energy. Like I had my heart crack wide open. I connected to source in a way that I never have in my life. I witnessed. So, like, I'm getting chills as I'm talking about it. It was, it's Kind of, it's, you can't, you kind of can't put words to it because it was just so profound. But one of my favorite experiences, this has never happened to me before. We were at the end of a really long day on, on like the next to last day. You do a 4am 5 hour pineal gland meditation. And it was better than any psychedelic journey I've ever done. It was unbelievable. I was with the aliens. I mean, it was just galactic. It was unbelievable. But we still had lectures that day and more meditations. And by the end of the day everybody was just like so tired. And so we were at the end of a meditation and one lady just started laughing hysterically and she kind of quieted down. She started up. Then another person starts laughing and another person starts laughing. And all of a sudden 1900 people had the biggest laughing attack you have ever heard in your life for about 20 minutes. And I've never been a part of 1900 people laughing so hysterically. And it was a different type of medicine that I. God, we just all needed it so much. And the whole thing was during it, I just kept having these visions of me on stages, like him doing the same thing, but doing it in a way that is right for me and bringing the message to people in a different way. Because again, the science backs it. The data, the data that they had with what was happening to us and for us is unbelievable. Like, and it all exists, you know, on his site. So if anybody's ever been curious about doing it, he has them. This was his 53rd seven day advanced retreat. He has all different options, but it's, it's so worth it.
I'm going.
You have to do it.
It's gonna, it's, it's happening.
My partner Alex is going next month or no, sorry, this month in like two weeks. I am so excited for him.
Just my, my freaking schedule. But I will, I will make it happen next year.
Yes, you will, for sure. Yes, you will.
This came, it sounds like at a really beautiful time.
Yes.
Considering the journey that you're in that, you know, as you move into this new business and brand and potential book, this retreat just sounded like it serves so much of where you're going. Well, my question is, where did you come up with the word unreachable?
Yeah, so this is what I am building is this brand called Unreachable. And this word started coming to me years ago, kind of when I was in the throes of just literally being plugged in 24 hours a day. So I think you know this about me. Like I don't want to villainize tech, I don't want to villainize our phones or social media, but it has changed our relationship to self, it has changed our relationship to time. And I am a very boundaried person. But even I was noticing myself becoming so addicted to having this device in my hand. We reach for our phones every 10 minutes, once every 10 minutes, that's 96 times. And I think a lot of people are more than that.
Yeah.
And so I really realized like, even though I love having these pockets of quiet, I did a vipassana retreat a few years ago, a silent retreat where you don't have your phone. And I noticed that I would set those boundaries and be like, I'm out of pocket, don't reach me. And I would still be reachable at all hours of the day. We are all reachable all the time. Right. So even if you're on vacation or whatever, it's like, I know you're on vacation, but X, Y or Z, or you come back and you have a million emails you have to check, a million text messages and it stirs up this anxiety. And so I realized like, not only are we reachable at all times, but we've really become unreachable to ourselves in the ways that matter. So I started kind of like kicking this idea around because I'm like, ah, there's so many different meanings here. But I really want to help people kind of disconnect from all these toxic distractions and tech and media and relationships and plug back into our own sacred technology. But doing it in a way that you can still exist in modern day society. Because I don't think a lot of people are going to live off grid or get a flip phone. I want to have that bridge between being fully human and fully divine and bringing that to people in a way that like works for them and with them.
And we can do that through the power of subtraction. What's best power.
So I, oh my gosh. In this day and age, as you know, there are a million books to read, a million programs, a million masterclasses, a million podcasts. Like there's just, it's more, more, more. We need to consume more, we need to. We're literally. I just read this stat and it was shocking to me. The average human gets, receives 10,000 ads or messages a day. 10,000. So that multitasking lowers our IQ by 10 points just from us like trying to toggle and we're plugged in 8 to 11 hours a day on our screens, but we don't have 20 minutes to like, sit outside or meditate. So I have always been a fan of less taking things away, doing this. I love this idea of mental fasting.
Such a good term because, you know, you come up with that.
Well, I mean, that's what I. I've been saying forever. Because we intermittent fast or we, you know, fasting so healthy, but we don't really mentally fast. We're always plugged in, always plugged into something. And it actually keeps us in those high beta brain waves, which is anxiety, fight or flight stress. And when we unplug, we can get more to like the theta and the alpha state, and it actually increases our gray matter. Like, if we put our. Put our tech away and just be with ourselves, like, we can kind of not only increase our brain matter, but just feel so much better. So I'm really into just less. Like, do you really need to consume and scroll and take. Take all of these things in? Because we're being programmed 24 hours a day by sources that are not our own, by thoughts that are not our own. So when you take those things away, you can start to actually kind of reprogram, rewire your own brain with your own thoughts and figure out, like, what you're actually thinking and how you want to feel. So again, I'm just in daily life and in the book that I'm writing, I mean, it is about less. It is about taking things away, not adding one more thing in. And everything too, that I want to suggest for people is free. It's using your own body as the tool and the mechanism and the sacred technology that it is like we have. It's one thing I learned at that retreat. We are capable of making the strongest pharmacy of drugs for our own body to heal ourselves. Like you can, you can heal in an instant. But we're too. We're too distracted. We've lost, like, the power that exists within all of us. And I mean, you know this, like, more than anyone.
It's like, you know when you were just saying that around 10,000 ads or messages a day.
A day.
That is. Here we are in 2024. The way that society and culture and business and humanity has evolved. This is a new development. Like, we didn't operate this way for most of the last 200,000 years of human civilization, and here we are. Our brains are not designed to consume and absorb this amount of data every single day.
Every day.
It's crazy. The amount of information it's like we're living in the information age times infinity. And it does affect us and it's affected, you know, me in a very real way. Last weekend, I turned off my phone for three days.
You turned it off?
I didn't even fucking, like, put it away. I turned it off for three days. Rhea.
Yes.
I woke up on the third day. I cried tears of joy.
Yes.
I had this sense of bliss because it was so clear and I was so peaceful. And, you know, I realized because part of me was like, I just don't want to. I'm a content creator. You know, I'm on Instagram all the time, doing my thing, checking emails, writing things up. I'm like, I just want to pause. For me to stop having to produce. No, it was the pausing and consuming that was the, like, gift.
Yes.
And I just a little sad that that can't be. That that's an exception, but it doesn't have to be. And that was my next question for you.
We have just all agreed to be plugged in all the time. And guess what? You don't have to be like, during that retreat, I said, I did not check email once, I did not check Instagram once. I did not check text messages. Didn't miss it at all. And there was no, there was no great big emergency. We have gotten this sense of like, entitlement and importance that like, oh my God, like, I have to be available.
Is it addicted addiction?
It is the biggest addiction of our lifetime. And the fact that we're not taking this more seriously, it's messed up our health. It's messed up our mental health, our emotional wellbeing. And, you know, that's why I have like, I love that three days. I know a lot of people are like, oh, I could never do that. But even having like a two hour unreachable window where when I say, like, you're not reachable, you're not reachable, like you're not also binging TV, you're not, you are either having FaceTime with someone because that's the thing. We used to stare into faces and now we're staring into feeds and it's inhuman. And so we have to start taking that time back. And it is our life, it is our time and we get to choose how we spend it. And we were just never meant to be plugged in like this 100% of the time. So I, I love these two hour windows because you can very easily slip that into the morning or even at night. Like now at night, I always plug My phone in, and usually I put it away, like around dinner time. If we go out to eat for dinner, I don't bring it, which is so nice. Just drive in silence.
I went to dinner with Brian over the weekend. My phone is off, and I had the best dinner with my husband.
Best. Because you were present. So when it's even on your body, it has been proven that you. Your attention is there constantly, constantly pulled. And, you know, again, I'm not like, villainizing the smartphone. I know that there's a lot of, like, positive things with technology. I get it. But when you were reaching for something once every 10 minutes or more, in some cases, like, if you were doing that with an actual drug, you'd be dead.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it is reprogramming our brains and making us dumber. I mean, literally lowering your IQ by 10 points every time you multitask. Like, come on. So we do have a choice. And you could choose that every weekend if you want. And I know you're like, well, no.
I can't, but I think I might.
It is the greatest gift to yourself to spend that time with yourself. And, you know, we've. We've really shifted in our household because we used to, like, I don't drink anymore. But, you know, during the pandemic, it's like we'd have a bottle of wine and binge Netflix and just numbing out. Like, we're just numbing out to our lives. So now it's like, I haven't even watched TV and since before the retreat, and we light candles and read books or just talk. And it's been so great for my daughter. She's 12 and, you know, just not to have. She's addicted. I mean, we have so many boundaries. She's alternatively educated. And I still see even in kids postures, like, their heads are. They're built differently. They're, you know, I don't know, they're like all hunched. And you shared a story once with.
Me about Sophie where she was, like, not acting right. She was kind of depressed. This was a couple years ago. And you realize it was because she had been, like, sneaking.
Sneaking. Yeah. Yeah.
Tell that story.
Yeah. So she. Yeah, this was several years ago. She would just, like, wake up, like, super tired. And we had all these boundaries. I mean, we're. We're the people that have, like, the right light bulbs at night, and we're very into, you know, no light pollution, like, after the sun goes down and all of that. And so, you know, she was doing all these healthy things. But I was like, something is just going on with her. And she had a computer at the time, my old computer. She loves to write stories. And we realized she had been sneaking the computer to watch, like, cartoons on Netflix from, like, 10pm to 4am, like, every night probably for a year. And her circadian rhythm, like, having that toxic, like, blue light. I mean, not to get too personal, but she also developed kind of earlier than she should. And she eats so healthy. And I'm like, what is going on?
Her hormones?
Yes, her hormones. And so she thought we were going to be so angry. And I was like, no, I just. When you're doing anything that much, you're usually not feeling really great about yourself. And so she started to kind of, you know, open up. And that's what we're all doing, though, like, all the time. What are we not trying to feel? What do we not want to pay attention to? It's so easy to just scroll through. And if we're spending 8 to 11 hours a day tuning into other people's lives, other people's agendas, other people's agendas. Like. Like, you don't know what you think and you feel. You don't know, like, what it's like to actually be with yourself and know how powerful and amazing you are. And, I mean, all of this, like, just kind of detaching from it and disconnecting from it at. In real, like, batches of time, it's changed my relationship to myself. Like, and in essence is going to change my relationship to the world, too, because I'm showing up so differently and not playing a game that I never signed up for. You know, like, I mean, I guess I signed up for it, but you don't have to. Like, you can orchestrate your life. You can spend your time the way you want to and. And really check in with yourself, like, every time you go to pick up that phone or, like, binge or scroll or whatever. Like, what are you trying to avoid? What do you not want to feel?
It's such a good, powerful question. So when I turned my phone off for three days and I got back out of you. Thank you.
Thank you. I mean, that's really big for you.
It was really big for me, but it was like my higher self. It was just such a simple decision. At the same time, I was like. My eyes were hurting. I felt, like, heavy. There was, like, no life in it. And so I, of course, I turned it off for three days. And then I got back on Instagram on stories on. On Monday morning. And said something like, like how a girl feels after she turned her phone off for three days. And I was kind of dancing. I got more DMS on that story.
I'm sure you did.
People were just like, God, I wish I could do that. I want to do that. That needs to. That needs to happen. That's a great idea.
But isn't that funny how many people are tuned into you at that moment too? Like, well, you can do that. Put your phone away and go do it.
It was fascinating. I'll post something about, like, my retreat or my podcast, and people, like, don't even like it. The comments that I got on that one story of, like, declaring proudly that I had turned off my phone had such a reaction because everybody craves it.
Everybody. We don't have a sense of inner stillness and inner peace. We're just reactive all the time. And one of the biggest things that. So my partner Alex, who is a certified breath worker and Reiki practitioner, and, and we are going to be guiding people through these just unbelievable, transformational journeys to tap into that. But one of the things that's so important to us is, and you know, my stance on, I think social media can be great. It's. I mean, look at what it's done for you. I don't think it's for everybody. And I am adamant about building this without it. And I want to capitalize. If people want to share, great. We're doing it in other very strategic ways. We actually want to build a docu series about all these tribes we're going to go visit that do still live off the grid, that live very, like, tech free or connected to the land and bringing back those practices for modern day. But my biggest thing, when I thought about it, like, okay, I can just play the game, like, to build this brand, but social media creates compulsive behavior, period. And you cannot have boundaries with it. It's been proven that digital, like, quote unquote, detoxes don't work. You have to actually set things up differently. And for this, like, it would be so hypocritical for us to, like, build this thing called unreachable and to be reachable in that way. We will be reachable in other ways that feel. Feel good to us, but. But not that way. And I'm, I'm. I think there's such a fatigue happening with social media in general. Because what I realized is the other day I was like, wait, am I supposed to do this forever? Like, am I supposed to post and share forever? It's so cyclical.
Right.
And I'm again as a manifester, I don't want to do anything forever. I do it while I have the energy and then it's time to move on. So I actually think I'm. I'm pitching this op ed called Privacy is the new luxury. And I think privacy is going to be the thing that people really start to crave. And like when you turned your phone off, not having to like show like what you're doing where you are. We were never meant to share our every, like no whim and feeling and where we're going. And I don't know, I. It's, it's a choice.
And you know what? It's also on a quantum level, this is how I. What I believe and I know you love this. So those three days, I just, it just happened and it was, it was so powerful. I felt myself right. I felt so clear minded because I was not connected to technology and fully in the present. I had no sense of time. I went, I went, I got a massage and my therapist was a half an hour late and I didn't care.
No, it changes your reactivity.
Half an hour to just sit and read my book. She was so stressed when she got there. I was like, please don't stress. I'm not, I'm so happy to see you. It was like the unlock. But what was fascinating, Rhea, back to the quantum. When I turned my phone on and I showed up again on Instagram, I felt people in my field.
Oh yeah.
I felt other. Because what you just said. We're not meant to share our lives. We're not meant for people to know and watch our lives.
We actually cannot hold. We were never supposed to hold more than 150 connections at any one time. As a human being, you, you can't, you don't have the capacity, capacity for it, so.
Correct. And like, you know, you have hundreds of thousands.
Exactly.
And that's like, you know, on a spectrum. Not that big compared to like a lot of people who are on social media and my, one of my healers many years ago, or Linda was her name, I don't know if you remember, she talked about this concept of hooks.
Yeah. Oh yes.
And you know, I say this with love because I have the most beautiful community and like I feel like we attract what we are. Right. I can. I know that there are eyes on me that aren't necessarily of the highest vibration that don't, you know, love me genuinely. No, no one really can. No one knows me except my intimate Circle. But my point is, when you are visible and you have other people's projection into your field, whether it's good, positive, loving or not, it's just not yours.
It's not yours.
And it can attach to you.
Yes.
And you feel it subconsciously in the subtle realms that impact your vibration. And the second I turned my phone on, you felt it. And I put that story up. I was like, what's here isn't mine? And I felt off all over again.
Yes, yes. But. But you notice, see, we have to have that contrast, though, because most people don't turn their phones off, and then they're not really ever aware of where they're operating. And guess what? They are absorbing, that's not theirs.
Right.
And that's something fun we're doing with the unreach Enable. So we're breaking it up into unhooking from old programming your past, all of these things, so we can reach this state of presence and wholeness, so that we're able to draw in the future and what we want and, like, how we want to feel. And the hooking, though, is that's. That's where it starts. Like, unhooking from all of these toxic distractions that don't even feel toxic, and they're just like part of life. But when you. You step away from. That's when the contrast. You can realize how peaceful and joyful and pleasurable you can actually feel by yourself. Not with. Not buying something, not consuming something. Like, I'm not even a big consumer, and I still get so overwhelmed. I'm still addicted. I have all these boundaries, but I still. Every time I pick up that phone, it's like, wait, what did I pick this up to do? And then. Or my computer, I have 50 tabs open, and I'm like, I'm better than this, damn it. Like, what is going on? And it's just. It's the way we've programmed our brain. It's all habits, and they can be changed.
And they can be.
They can be changed.
They can be. And the. The piece that is so instantly available. Like, I'm going back to that Sunday morning when I woke up and I wanted to cry. I made myself coffee. I made myself a piece of sourdough toast, and I sat in my kitchen table with a book. It's the best. And I was like, this is the best morning I've ever. I feel like I'm on vacation and I'm in my house.
And you can do that it literally every day. Literally every day. And A lot of people are like, well, I don't know. I have to, I have to like, you know, take the kids or do this. But, you know, Alex and I, my partner, we. We've just figured out, like, just get up earlier. Like, we're each meditating. I'm still meditating since the retreat. Like, I don't know, two to three hours a day.
Wow.
So I'm just waking up earlier to. To do it. Like, I have a good 90 minutes. It is non negotiable for me. I have to shift my energy, especially if I wake up and I'm like, yeah. You know, and feeling like we get to choose how we feel. And most of us, as you know, Dr. Joe Dispenza says, but 95% of our thoughts are the same thoughts as the day before. We are all conditioned to the past and we're all comfortable. We're all in our comfort zones. Being so hooked into everything is our comfort zone. And the unknown is so scary. But that's also the only place where change happens and transformation happens. And so I just keep, like, dipping my toe further and further in and becoming more and more boundaried and unreachable to certain people in situations that I know that no longer serve me and opening myself up to. To what I really want. And that might mean that my circle is smaller. And you know what?
It's okay.
I'm okay with that because again, I was. We were just never meant to hold.
Yes.
So much space for other people because usually we are dropped out of that equation and we don't hold space for ourselves. And.
Can you write this book tomorrow?
Yes. Well, I mean, I'm so excited, like, this thing. So I. And I told you about this, but I, you know, you and I both, we launched our books on the same day. I had a new novel come out on August 6th. And you had a crazy tour. I had a crazy first leg of the tour. Then I took a break. But then I had this big, like, last month of this tour, and I was supposed to go to the Northeast and do like five cities in five days. And I. It's. It's what really got me to this place of change and transformation. I had just come out of that retreat. I was still integrating, and I literally got to the airport. Like, it was so dramatic. And my body would not let me get on that plane. I was so exhausted. I was so emotional. You know me, I don't cry a lot. I was bawling because my body was done trying to prove anything hustling like from place to place to place to sell my books and do all these, I just couldn't do it. So when I canceled everything unapologetically, honestly, like, I felt bad for the bookstore owners, but it was such a decision made in integrity and for myself. And I went home and I cranked out literally like a 70 page book proposal on Unreachable that same day. And it flew out of my body. And so I'm. I'm just so excited, like to shift into this. This work that doesn't really feel like work. It's just really hopefully helping people remember. Like they're the ones that have dominion over their time, their bodies, their power, all of these things. We just have to be willing to tap into it.
You just said my favorite word. Remember.
Jessica Zweig
Remember.
Rhea Fry
Oh, it's just all a remembrance. Isn't all one big remember.
It really is. And what you're really calling us home to, you know, back to the feminine is Mother Earth, Gaia. The way that we were intended to live one with nature and cycles and rhythms and to move as slow as nature and to be connected and rooted and present. And there's nothing more harmonizing than being connected to her. And that's the feminine vibration. And that is our. One of the biggest travesties of the patriarchy and the way that the society is, is designed and programmed, especially women, to operate within. And it's. It's really hurting us. And it's hurt you and it's hurt me. And it's the inspiration for this whole show and my entire ego identity, death and rebirth. Because it's. It is really what we have just all been longing for, whether we're conscious of it or not. I think what you're doing, Rhea, is loved what you said, like how I'm showing up for myself, but how I'm showing up for the world. It is a worldly message, this, this conversation, but this book and this platform that you're going to build.
Thank you.
I know that everyone listening to it is like, oh my God, thank you for being a pioneer in it. And you've been living to the tune of your own drum for a really long time.
Pretty much my whole life. I mean, I've still gotten tangled up in. Of course you have, the masculine and the hustle and all of those things. But I. It's just something happened. There's something that happened in my 40s, like when I turned 40 and then. And something just unlocked and I could not pretend anymore to play these games, to live in out of alignment Actually from how I truly, truly felt. I'm put on this earth, like, to do and share and what I want to speak about. And it goes so far beyond just writing stories to entertain people. And I finally had to give myself permission to do that, though. Just like you gave yourself permission to turn off the phone to do all of these things. It's really that simple. It's a choice. And you're the one that gets to make it, nobody else. But it is a daily choice. There's not a quick fix here. There's not some magic pill. It is a choice in how you spend your time, because you're either giving it away and you're quote, unquote, paying attention instead of giving attention to things that really matter. Because we are paying with our time. Absolutely.
And that's our greatest currency is our time.
It's. I mean, it's. It's everything. And as you, I'm sure you've noticed, time is speeding, dude, up. I mean, like, September just like, didn't happen. And then like, okay, so. But that was the cool thing about the retreat. Going back to that time, it did not exist. I mean, we were just all floating. We were like in a lucid dream. And even when you turn your phone off, it just isn't that important, you know, like how we live our lives according to this fake sense of, of time. And when you, when you connect the quantum, there is no time. You're drawing things to you. It's not in this 3D matter. We are matter trying to change matter. We. We're. Oh, I gotta. I gotta try harder. I gotta save more. I gotta do all these things. And it's also much simpler than that. When you do connect to the quantum and those infinite possibilities, you just, just send the thought out, send the signal out, and you draw it to you with a feeling. But most of us can't access our heart. We can't access what we actually really want or.
Because we're getting 10,000 messages a day.
Messages that are not yours. Like, you have to remember that. I mean, if there's any takeaways, just really start to notice and observe what you are consuming. I mean, I am so careful about. It's why like, like most people are muted on Instagram and Instagram's the only social media I have. But I only want to take in things that I think are going to, like, raise my frequency. And I've. Since I've really paid attention to that, I can't do, like, scary movies or viral TV show. Like, it's all shifted. So everything that you take in affects you and. But you get to decide that. So it's also really exciting.
I think it's so exciting and it's so empowering. I think I'll speak for myself, but I think there's other women that can relate for a time, not so much lately at all anymore. But I didn't want to by being unreachable.
Yes.
Offend anyone.
Yeah.
Right. Like, you know, I've had a few people because I've. I have become more sovereign and boundaries. Much more than I've ever been. And I've had reflections from like, you know, friends, new friends, whatever. Like, you're just so hard to get a hold of. You're like the hardest person to get a hold of. And I like, I used to take that as an offense, like, oh, well, I don't want her to judge me thinking I'm like too good for her or diva. You know, that's like the shadow side. But it's, it's really an act of empowerment and self love. And we should celebrate people.
Yes.
Who, you know, like boundaried is a word, but like what you're talking about, the unreachable.
Yes.
Is a whole new upgrade and level of self care.
Yes.
And sovereignty that all women should be proud to hold and to set an example.
Yes.
Because there was a part of me years ago, like I'm thinking about like my former self where I would look at those women and judge them, like thinking that they were too good for.
People, but who gives a shit?
Exactly.
Like who. If. If it makes you feel better and you feel, I mean, the way that you mentally felt, I mean it changed. It is a, it's a chain reaction. And like if you are showing up and feel so much more balanced and in alignment, then you are gonna like, you don. You don't like tell people what to do or blah blah, blah. You show them by being the example and they're like, what are you doing? You know, and it is just like this domino effect. And it's so loving. It is, it is the ultimate act of self love. And you know, I think with women specifically, if they're moms or you know, we're in this constant state of giving, giving, giving, giving, giving. And I know it's cliche, but it's like you have to spend time with yourself first. And I'm not talking about a bubble bath or. I mean that's lovely. But like until you drop in with yourself and truly sit still, I mean, we have this Little exercise. It's like the five by five reset where people take five minutes and they, that each, each exercise is a minute. So one minute, it's five minutes. So it's breathing, thinking, sensing, knowing and feeling and you're just, you're sitting with yourself like for that just little bit of time to really drop in to all of the senses and, and just being with yourself. And if you really start to do that, you, you will start to reconnect with the part of yourself that's always been there that knows what's right, that's knows what's wrong, that knows what feels good and you start to kind of like just not care some. Like I don't give, give a if someone's offended if I don't get back to them. Like I used to just jump at and be so reactive and oh my God, you're so responsive and you're this and you're that and no, I'm, I'm taking care of my own mental health and well being first before I can help anybody else.
And that retweet that is the greatest.
Or don't or don't.
But like really, I think this conversation is going to move a lot of people. That, that is the greatest gift to the world is what I was going to say. When we are at our highest vibration, balanced at peace, clear minded, connected within, connected to our gifts in our hearts. When we show up with our quote unquote cups filled with that, yes, that.
Jessica Zweig
Is our truest service to the world. Like that is.
Rhea Fry
That's it. That's it. Not getting back to everybody who emailed you that day. No, you being in that state completely.
But you have to, you have to get yourself in that state every day. You can't just do it once and then like okay, you turned your phone off for three days and then like you don't do it again. It's going to be a ritual, you know what I mean? Like it's, it. Yeah, it's, it's that consistency in creating new habits and rewiring the brain in new ways because you have to remember how conditioned we are to the past. Like our bodies and brains will do anything to, to stay safe and, and when you do start to break out of it, it will rebel and be aware of that. You have to like train it like a puppy. I mean I've had to retrain my brain because it just wants to do and go and be and, and get back to people and, and all of those things. But I've learned to just Slow down and, and be with myself first every single morning before I'm with anyone else. And even Dr. Joe Dispenza, like, not to keep talking about him, but like he, I joke that he died and he's a hologram because he's, he, he's everywhere all the time. I'm like, how are you doing this? But he gets up, he spends two hours every morning meditating before he does any of these retreats, before he's teaching, before he's doing podcasts. It is him first. Because if he can't get himself there, how is he gonna.
Right. Exactly.
Teach anybody else to do it? So that is, you know, again, this like, quote unquote unreachable window, like the first two hours of the day. And I know a lot of people, like, I could never do that. And you can if you get up, up at 4, which is like such a divine time as well to meditate and to like connect. It's. I love it. And then you're just like less tired, which is strange.
What time do you go to bed? Getting up at 4 in the morning, just curious.
Like, I get. Oh my God, the other day I literally. It was a Friday night. So lame. I crawled into bed at like 7:40 with a book and a candle and Palo Santo. I didn't go to bed until probably like 9ish or so. But wow. But I.
It's like my dream night.
Yeah, dream night. Exactly. And my priorities have so shifted with all of that. But. But I'm just naturally waking up. But I let my body dictate. But even if I wake up at like 6 or 7, I still will do it. Even if I'm like, I have a meeting or it doesn't matter. I, I will get it in no matter what because I'm no longer willing to sacrifice like how I feel and allow myself to just be in that, that, you know, conditioned state.
You are an a master teacher. Oh my God, no. I'm so excited.
This is the first time I've gotten to like really talk about this. I mean, I bring it into conversation with all my book events and these like old ladies are looking at me like, what are you talking about? So this is so fun. It's like a coming out party.
It is like a coming out party.
For what I really want to talk about.
And you can feel it. You're so in alignment, Rhea. And you're going to expand from, you know, this is how it works. Like when you're that in your joy and connected to a mission, a Purpose and alignment. Like it's going to flow for you. The book deal is going to come that you know that the.
Doing a podcast. We're doing. Yeah, we're doing all the things that.
Was going to be one of my next questions, like tell us how we can.
Yeah. So dial into your work. The way that you can reach us is just our website, Unreachable Life. We are launching a podcast. We have freebies for people. We're going to have all these protocols that people can actually download do on their own. But we're going to be doing these like day long intensives and workshops to really go through the science. Like, here's your brain on all your tech and devices. Here's your brain when it's not. And then lead people through these like transformational journeys and having integration and journaling and sharing and just really have really beautiful, lovely, affordable containers for people to drop in and access that and actually realize how, how amazing they can feel. And of course this will be tech free, phone free.
Well, sign me up. We're going to leave a link to that in the show notes. Unreachable Life.
Yep.
Love it, Love it. And your podcast is going to be called Unreachable Unreachable.
Yeah, that's it. We're just keeping it all consistent.
Jessica Zweig
Amazing.
Rhea Fry
And the book will be here soon.
Yes.
I am so excited for you.
Thank you. And thank you for allowing me to come on this podcast. I just have this conversation.
Are you kidding me? Thank you for coming. I needed to hear this. And it's just an affirmation of what I'm really.
I cannot wait. I've been waiting for you to become more unreachable for years and I think you're really getting there.
It's funny because I've been on so many podcasts myself for my book and I've gotten a couple questions on these shows, like, where do you see yourself in five, 10 years? And you know what my answer has been?
It's like left the fuck alone.
Yeah. Like I want to. I'm moving to my house in the woods.
Yes.
And I am. I would love to be able to just write books and not be on any technology. Like, honest. Like, I don't like what you were saying about like, we're committed to social media for life.
Like, like for life. Like, are you supposed to do that forever?
Right. And I don't want to.
You've been doing it since the beginning.
I've been doing it since 2008.
Yeah. That's a long time.
I Know, and I'm like, very clear that my future feels when I tune into it, it is me in the woods, quiet, making things.
Yes.
Jessica Zweig
Creating things.
Rhea Fry
Dropping in with my family.
Yes.
Listening to the birds.
Yes.
I'm not kidding. Like, that's where I see myself.
And that is what you need to draw to you, because the people who need your messaging and everything that you create, they will find it.
I know.
And you don't have to be the one that is just like, killing yourself to put it out there. Like, we are either the creators of our lives or the victims. And I think. Think so many. I don't like that word. But we have become the victims of our time, of our circumstances, of our jobs, of our schedules. But so we're either creating or we're not. And it's time for you to truly create in the way that feels just so beautiful to you. And for you.
I'm at that pivot point.
I've had a lot of, like, I've been waiting for this for you for so long, so I can't wait.
It's been affirmed by many astrologers and readings and numerology. Like, I'm like, there's something is about to shift for me in the next, like, couple of months.
Yes.
To take me into the next chapter and phase of my life as. As with you. I mean, you're at a pivot point. I'm just.
It's so excited to be on this journey together. We live in the woods together.
Let's never leave completely over it.
I'm. I'm already there. I'm so excited.
I know. All right, I have a few final quick fire questions for you. Boy. Actually, I realize that they're not that quick fire, but it doesn't matter. They're my final questions I ask everybody. I think I know the answer to this one because of what you've been talk about, but do you have a favorite spiritual teacher?
Oh, well, I mean, yeah. Dr. Joe. I mean, really? Wayne Dyer is where my whole kind of relationship to this started, and I got to meet him before he died. And then Abraham Hicks. I. I love Abraham Hicks as well.
Jessica Zweig
Yeah.
Rhea Fry
Do you have a favorite book by a spiritual teacher?
Oh, God. That's like. I mean, you're asking an author what their favorite book is.
No, you're. Your favorite spiritual book.
Oh, Favorite spirit. Spiritual. Oh, God. I mean, I. I will go back to breaking the habit of being yourself. I think it is. It is so digestible. It is spiritual, but it is so applicable and. And just kind of Wakes you up in a way that I haven't read in most other books.
Do you work or have a connection to any particular goddess or deity or archetype or segment?
And I. Cliff's notes version of this, you know. You know, I have this writing studio that very fittingly, I guess, had a fire on New Year's Day of 2023. And it was. I, you know, lit this. It was like a. A candle that a local witch made literally here in Nashville. And I had a weird feeling about the candle, but I lit it anyway in my studio and you know, my studio is full of crystals and books and all the. These. All these different things. But you had given me this goddess of words statue and I accidentally left the. From Egypt and it caught her on fire and burned everything in my studio. And everything burned. And the only thing that survived was my segment statue, which I thought was so crazy. And she's still in there because my darling, darling partner Alex was like, don't worry, we're going to make it better than before. And he, he like redid it for me. And I love it even more now. It's been cleansed literally by the fire. And I kind of burned down my life and built it back up. But she is there and I think I'm. I'm so like, I love her energy, but I think I'm. I'm gravitating towards a little bit like softer energy. Yeah, but she's. She's been a pillar, that's for sure.
Well, SEM's one of my all time favorite and she is the goddess of war and healing. So she fucks up.
Yes, she does.
To clear what is no longer in alignment so that what's true and right and aligned can come through.
Yes.
And I remember you called me on that day.
Jessica Zweig
You were like, I mean, of course it wouldn't be.
Rhea Fry
That was so tragic. Like, that was a traumatic experience.
Bought that with my, you know, my own money. Like.
Yeah.
During my author journey and I filled it with just all of my favorite favorite things. And I'm not even materialistic, but like it was my sacred space. And.
But now it's even more sacred.
It is. It's more sacred. And so. Yeah.
That's amazing. Do you believe in aliens?
Yeah, I was. Spent time with them recently.
Joda spend his workshop in Nashville.
Pineal gland meditation. It was. Yes, Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
Do you have an idea of what kind of starseed you are? Do you have a connection to any sort of.
No, we. God. When we went to The Mount Shasta retreat. What did he say I was? Was Padian.
Padian, yeah.
Yeah.
Or Octurian or Andromedan.
No, I think he did say I was. Or. I don't know. I can't.
Yeah.
The Pleiadians have always just been the. The group that makes the most sense to me. And when I meditate, there's a specific meditation I do at night, but I get blinded by this white light, which feels very, like very alien, very. Something. Something is going on. I'm like, I'm about to go to another realm. I don't know. But I've always been drawn to Pleiadians the most.
Me too. Yeah, obviously.
Obviously.

Last question.
Rhea Fry
What does it mean to you to be a co. Creator of the new Earth?
I mean, I think I said it in the beginning, but really helping people figure out how to be fully human while being fully divine as well and marrying the two together. Because I think a lot of times we think it's either or. And like, you're either, you know. Yeah. Like living, you know, namaste and just, you know, off the grid and all of that, or you're locked in. You're in the hustle. You're not even looking up. You're just working, working, working. And we can be both. And I want to find that sweet spot of. Of bringing both together because it's wonderful to be human and wonderful to be divine, but we've kind of lost our. Her way a little bit with this, marrying them together.
Well, you're gonna help lead the way.
Yes, I am.

The Spiritual Hustler: Redefining Success by Becoming Unreachable with Rhea Fry
Episode Title: How to Become Unreachable in a World That Constantly Demands Your Attention and Still Be Successful with Rhea Fry
Release Date: November 19, 2024
Host: Jessica Zweig
In this transformative episode of The Spiritual Hustler, host Jessica Zweig engages in a profound conversation with Rhea Fry, a bestselling author and pioneering thought leader behind the movement Unreachable. Together, they explore the necessity of becoming "unreachable" in an age dominated by constant connectivity and the pressures of the modern hustle, while still achieving success and maintaining spiritual well-being.
Jessica introduces Rhea Fry as more than just an accomplished author; she is a book doula who has empowered over 500 first-time authors to land top literary agents and secure six-figure book deals. With nearly 20 years in the publishing industry, Rhea has transitioned from consistently producing books to advocating for a more intentional and spiritually aligned approach to life and business.
Rhea explains the genesis of her movement, Unreachable, emphasizing the importance of disconnecting from the relentless demands of technology to reconnect with one's inner self. “We have really become unreachable to ourselves in the ways that matter,” she states at [24:39], highlighting how perpetual connectivity has severed our relationship with our own divinity and well-being.
Both Jessica and Rhea share their personal experiences with becoming unreachable. Jessica recounts turning off her phone for three days, describing them as the “best three days I’ve had in a long time” ([04:04]). Rhea complements this by sharing her transformative experience at a Dr. Joe Dispenza retreat, where intensive meditation and spiritual practices led her to “walk out of wheelchairs” and experience profound healing ([20:22]).
A significant portion of the conversation delves into how constant connectivity and digital distractions negatively impact mental and emotional health. Rhea cites startling statistics, such as “the average human receives 10,000 ads or messages a day” ([26:49]), which contribute to anxiety and reduced cognitive function. She explains that multitasking with digital devices can “lower our IQ by 10 points” ([32:16]).
Rhea emphasizes the numerous benefits of disconnecting from technology:
“We can get more to like the theta and the alpha state, and it actually increases our gray matter,” Rhea explains ([26:52]).
Rhea offers actionable strategies to help listeners implement unreachability into their daily lives:
“A lot of people are like, oh, I could never do that. But even having like a two-hour unreachable window… it's a great gift to yourself,” Rhea advises ([30:16]).
Rhea outlines her vision for Unreachable, which includes launching a podcast, offering workshops, and creating a docu-series that explores tech-free living with various tribes. Her goal is to provide affordable and accessible methods for individuals to disconnect from toxic distractions while still thriving in modern society.
“We are breaking it up into unhooking from old programming… so we can reach this state of presence and wholeness,” she shares ([41:19]).
The dialogue explores the balance between traditional masculine notions of hustle and the nurturing, intuitive aspects of feminine energy. Both Jessica and Rhea advocate for a redefined hustle that is driven by love, meaning, and service rather than survival and competition.
“To be a spiritual hustler today is something you should be so proud of… living life on our own terms,” Jessica affirms ([00:01]).
Looking ahead, Rhea envisions a life deeply connected to nature, possibly relocating to a secluded home in the woods to foster creativity without technological interruptions. She encourages listeners to embrace their sovereignty and set boundaries that uphold their mental and emotional well-being.
“You are a master teacher… You are showing up so much more balanced and in alignment,” Rhea praises ([56:13]).
The episode concludes with key takeaways emphasizing the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and embracing unreachability as a path to spiritual and personal growth. Both hosts reiterate that reclaiming time and presence is the ultimate act of self-love and service to the world.
“When we are at our highest vibration… that is our truest service to the world,” Jessica concludes ([53:44]).
This episode of The Spiritual Hustler serves as a compelling invitation to listeners to reassess their relationship with technology and redefine what it means to hustle successfully. Through Rhea Fry’s insights and personal experiences, the conversation underscores the profound benefits of becoming unreachable—not as a means of isolation, but as a pathway to deeper self-connection, creativity, and genuine success.
For those inspired to embark on their own journey toward unreachability, Rhea Fry and Jessica Zweig provide both the motivation and the practical tools to make meaningful changes in their lives.
