Introduction

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.

Meet Rhea Fry

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.

The Concept of Being Unreachable

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.

Personal Journeys to Unreachability

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]).

The Impact of Technology on Mental Health

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]).

Benefits of Disconnecting

Rhea emphasizes the numerous benefits of disconnecting from technology:

• Enhanced Mental Clarity: By reducing screen time, individuals can achieve higher states of consciousness, such as theta and alpha brain waves, which promote relaxation and creativity.
• Increased Gray Matter: Unplugging can lead to brain health improvements, fostering a more resilient and adaptable mind.
• Deepened Self-Connection: Time away from digital distractions allows for introspection and a stronger connection to one’s true self.

“We can get more to like the theta and the alpha state, and it actually increases our gray matter,” Rhea explains ([26:52]).

Practical Strategies for Becoming Unreachable

Rhea offers actionable strategies to help listeners implement unreachability into their daily lives:

• Setting Boundaries: Establish designated times when devices are turned off, such as during meals or specific hours each day.
• Morning Rituals: Incorporate practices like meditation to start the day with intention and presence.
• Mental Fasting: Similar to intermittent fasting for the body, mental fasting involves periods of cognitive rest to reset the mind.
• Using Sacred Technology: Leverage technology mindfully, choosing tools that enhance rather than disrupt inner peace.

“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]).

Building the Unreachable Movement

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]).

Balancing Masculine Hustle with Feminine Energy

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]).

Future Visions and Empowerment

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]).

Final Takeaways

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]).
