Podcast Summary: The Spiritual Hustler

Episode: Unlocking Lightning: What Happens When Mother Nature Affirms That the Feminine is Rising
Host: Jessica Zweig
Date: August 28, 2025

Episode Overview

In this soul-stirring minisode, Jessica Zweig shares a powerful story of a literal lightning strike that interrupted her “Brilliance” virtual summit—a moment she interprets as Mother Nature’s resounding affirmation of the feminine rising. Jessica explores signs from the universe, recounts mystical experiences that have shaped her journey, and offers guidance for women stepping into their power, wealth, and healing. Through personal anecdotes, she encourages listeners to see synchronicities as divine direction and to recognize the collective impact of spiritually aligned women.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

Redefining “Hustle” and Feminine Power

Jessica sets the stage for the episode’s theme: reclaiming feminine energy and redefining what hustle means for women in business and spirituality.
She welcomes both new and returning listeners, emphasizing the show as a community of safety, activation, and inspiration.
“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.” (A, 00:01)

The Brilliance Summit and the Lightning Strike

Jessica recounts hosting the “Brilliance” virtual summit, attended by 12,000 women from every continent. She describes the event as a “galactic disco ball” celebrating feminine radiance.
During a live panel—after a flawless tech rehearsal—one guest’s video feed cut out, and all screens went down. Despite this, the livestream continued, leaving Jessica imperatively improvising on stage.
Upon stepping off stage, she learned the cause: “the building that we were broadcasting from had gotten struck by lightning.” (B, 06:46)
Jessica frames the lightning as a cosmic affirmation:

“I knew in that moment that Mother Nature was anointing us with a cosmic exclamation point, saying, fuck yes, thank you for gathering. Not thank you to me, but thank you to all of the women there that had gathered to remember who they are.” (B, 07:21)
She stresses the spiritual and energetic power of such synchronicities.

Egypt, Mystical Experiences, and the Feminine Frequency

Jessica shares a formative spiritual awakening in Egypt (2022) at the Temple of Hathor, experiencing a vision of “a diamond white flash of light [that] pierce[d] my body.” (B, 08:45)
In her mystical state, she heard:

“The feminine frequency is returning to this planet. And you, Jessica, are a leader of this moment…not just you, because you are only one woman. It is all women's role to reclaim and return to the feminine frequency, not as a disintegration of the masculine, but as a rising of the feminine to create sacred union again on this planet…” (B, 09:20)
Lightning is interpreted as a symbol of sudden clarity and the raw power women are meant to embody.

Awakening to Synchronicities

Jessica encourages listeners to train awareness for signs and synchronicities—“the universe is always winking at you”—such as repeated numbers or intuitive nudges.
She frames these as moments of divine guidance, not mere coincidence.

"You might not experience something dramatic as a lightning strike in your body…but the universe is always trying to get your attention." (B, 10:16)

Collective Healing and Power

Jessica reaffirms that each listener is an integral part of this energetic shift:

“If you have found me, all it is is a mirror and a reflection of you and that we are all part of this incredibly important shift in the planet, to step into our leadership as women, to step into our confidence, to step into our highest, most aligned timelines, our hearts, our worth, and our wealth.” (B, 13:34)
She stresses the impact of collective feminine awakening: “When we do that in a collective, together as women, we are rewiring the grid of the planet.” (B, 13:57)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Embracing Feminine Power:

“I just want women to remember who the fuck they are. And when we do that, we step into our power, we make more money. And when women have both money and power, this world will be a better place.” (A, 02:32)
On Mother Nature Affirming the Feminine:

“Mother Nature was anointing us with a cosmic exclamation point, saying, fuck yes, thank you for gathering…that event really was more than just a virtual webinar. It really was an activation.” (B, 07:24)
On Spiritual Synchronicity:

“Lightning…is a signpost that we are conduits for something bigger. And when lightning strikes, it doesn’t ask for permission. It simply strikes and illuminates what’s already there.” (B, 09:52)
On Collective Purpose:

“I’m just a conduit. I’m just a channel. I’m just a vessel. I really believe that I’m here to just be used as an instrument for spirit to come through me. It’s not about me. It’s about us.” (B, 13:33)

Final Reflections / Call to Action

Jessica closes by inviting listeners to reflect on their own “lightning strikes”—moments of activation, clarity, or synchronicity—and to harness that energy in their lives, work, and healing. She affirms:

“Lightning struck the planet when women you were no doubt connected to…were all activated. Lightning is awe. But it’s also a reminder that you and me and all of us, we are meant to light up the world." (B, 13:47)

She leaves listeners with the core invitation: recognize your power, step into collective healing, and “help heal the world—that’s what spiritual hustlers do.”

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

Well, hello my beautiful spiritual hustlers and welcome back to the podcast. I am your host, Jess and I am lit right now. I've been lit for weeks. I am so grateful you're here. Let me just start by saying welcome to the show. If you're new, love it, happy to have you. This is a community where you will find so much safety and peace and celebration and inspiration and activation. And if you are not new, well, you know all those things to be true. On the show we talk about business, branding, leadership, feminine power and all things spirituality. And every Thursday I come in for my little unlocking minisodes, my little miniseries. Sometimes they're short, sometimes they're not so short. But it's just me on the mic every Thursday to give you guys a little key off of my keychain that you can put onto yours to unlock all the locks that are keeping you stuck and small and limited and afraid to fully fucking be who you came here to be. Okay, that's really the game that I am playing here in this community and in all communities that I lead. I just want women to remember who the fuck they are. And when we do that, we step into our power, we make more money. And when women have both money and power, this world will be a better place. And I'm here to, and I think you are too, because you're listening to really take advantage and take responsibility for this moment in humanity's consciousness, for being awake and being a remembered conscious light being that is healing humanity with the work that she's doing. Whether you run a consulting business or you do Reiki, I think if you're an awake and remembered woman, you are healing, you're doing the goddess's work. And I wanted to take today's unlocking episode and share, if you didn't already know, if you haven't seen or heard. I just can't stop talking about it. I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop feeling it. A couple weeks ago, I hosted a six hour live virtual summit called Brilliance. I had Kate Northrop come in and talk about money in the nervous system. I had Natalie McNeil come on and talk about conscious AI. I had Sarah Jenks come on and talk about Priestess codes. And Allegra cone came on and did a joy activation. 12,000 women registered for this event. And we had women dialing in from literally every single continent. The Netherlands, South Africa, Morocco, Ethiopia, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, all throughout the United States, Europe. And I felt everyone there so strongly. It was a true galactic disco ball. That was the whole theme of the event where women really came together as the diamonds that we are. And I was on stage, live event, thousands of people watching me. I'm in this big virtual soundstage, state of the art studio. And we had this panel, this virtual panel where a couple of my previous students and graduates from ffbs, the Feminine Frequency Business school, came up. We had rehearsed this in the dry run. We did a tech run the day before, and we were all ready for this moment. And one of the beautiful women comes up on the panel and I lose her. The entire screen goes down and everything kind of freezes for a second. But no one lost connection. There were still thousands of people watching me. They just couldn't see a screen. They were just staring at me on stage. And I had to improvise for like three minutes, which felt like three hours. And I was kind of like to the production manager behind the scenes, I was like, hey, guys, are we going to get this back? And he just was like, one more minute. And then it was like one more minute from then. And then it was another like, we need one more minute. And I was just surprisingly very, very calm. I wasn't frustrated or mad. I had to just sort of roll with it, right? And in my brain I was just like, you know, well, the tech tact is what happens when you have a big virtual event like this. And I can't, you know, there's nothing I can do. I step off stage into the green room and I look at my team I mean, I immediately need to know, like, what happened? Did we lose people? What, you know, I, I needed to just simply break down in a few minutes in the green room, break what happened? And everyone proceeds to tell me that the reason everything went down was because the building that we were broadcasting from had gotten struck by lightning. There was a massive storm that rolled through Nashville. And I have the chills right now as I'm even sharing this. And I knew in that moment that Mother Nature was anointing us with a cosmic exclamation point, saying, fuck yes, thank you for gathering. Not thank you to me, but thank you to all of the women there that had gathered to remember who they are. Because that event really was more than just a virtual webinar. It really was an activation. And the content and the guests and myself and the interaction that we had in the chat, I mean, it was unlike any virtual experience I've ever produced, let alone be a part of personally. And that's just how I try to design all of my live virtual events. They're experiential. And it really took me back to this moment in 2022 when I had gone to Egypt. And I know I talk about Egypt a lot. I've gone once, I will go back again. But that 15 day spiritual pilgrimage in the depths of my entire burnout changed the course of my life. I've been on the spiritual journey since I was like five, I was talking to angels at like five, six years old, and then had a real big awakening at 19 in a church in Ireland. I write about all of this in my new book, the Light Work. But it was in 20, when I went to Egypt, that I really had probably the biggest spiritual awakening of my life, which has led me here, to this moment in so many ways. And just to be brief, I went to Egypt and died. And part of that true death, that ego death, that identity death came in a singular moment when I was standing in the temple of Dendera, which is the temple of Hathor, the goddess of joy, the goddess of bliss, the goddess of frequency. And I had pressed my body against the wall, closed my eyes. I was by myself in this dark alcove of a room. And I can only describe what happened to me in that moment was a white lightning strike. I saw a diamond white flash of light pierce my body, pierce my energy field, pierce my consciousness, and I dissolved. My human form dissolved. And I elevated, became one with the cosmos. I started hearing the Pleiadians speak through me. They were speaking in chorus. They were speaking Individually, they were clamoring over each other to try and get my attention desperately, because they knew I was open. They knew that they had accessed me. And they shared so many things with me in that moment. But one of the things they said to me that I will never forget, and it actually inspired my entire book, it inspired my entire business school, it's inspired the last three years of my life's path. That the feminine frequency is returning. They said that they use those words. The feminine frequency is returning to this planet. And you, Jessica, are a leader of this moment. But they went on to say, not just you, because you are only one woman. It is all women's role to reclaim and return to the feminine frequency, not as a disintegration of the masculine, but as a rising of the feminine to create sacred union again on this planet, to create harmony, to create equilibrium, to create true healing and love and power. And lightning, as we all know, is a symbol of sudden clarity. Divine downloads raw cosmic power. It is a signpost that we are conduits for something bigger. And when lightning strikes, it doesn't ask for permission. It simply strikes and illuminates what's already there. And so you might not experience something dramatic as a lightning strike in your body in a temple in Egypt or at a big virtual summit, thousands of women watching, but the universe is always winking at you. The universe is always trying to get your attention through synchronicities, repeated numbers. How many of you see one? 1. 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7. 7. 7. I see it all the time. Unexpected opportunities, intuitive nudges. So this is about training your awareness to see these as guidance, as divine direction, not coincidence.

So if you're here listening awake, I hope this episode is your lightning strike to remember that that you're remembering matters. You are not here to play small girl. I really believe. You know, I just. I live over here in this beautiful tiny corner of the Internet. I have such a beautiful community. I'm at this place in my life where I just don't really care anymore how big my platform is. I just want it to be aligned. It's the most beautiful, peaceful experience to know who you are and know who you're for and to pour into that. And I hope you take a page from that and just to really recognize that you're part of this shift. If you're here, if something about my message and my books and this show and my events and whatever you might see on Instagram or if you're a friend of mine. I have so many beautiful women in my community. I know personally who listen. Listen to this show. All of you are my sisters. You are a part of this inflection point in humanity that Mother Nature herself. I'm just a conduit. I'm just a channel. I'm just a vessel. I really believe that I'm here to just be used as an instrument for spirit to come through me. It's not about me. It's about us. So my point is, if you have found me, all it is is a mirror and a reflection of you and that we are all part of this incredibly important shift in the planet, to step into our leadership as women, to step into our confidence, to step into our highest, most aligned timelines, our hearts, our worth, and our wealth. Because when we do that in a collective, together as women, we are rewiring the grid of the planet. So do not take listening to this podcast for granted. Do not take this story for granted. It doesn't matter if you were at brilliance or not. Lightning struck the planet when women you were no doubt connected to. You believe in six degrees of separation were all activated. Lightning is awe. But it's also a reminder that you and me and all of us, we are meant to light up the world. So I invite you to reflect on your own lightning strikes in your life this week and to really consider just how powerful these moments are for each of us. And the invitation really is to just simply become aware and open your eyes and open your heart so that you can harness that power into your work, into your worth, into your own healing, so that we all together can help heal the world. That's what spiritual hustlers do. All right, I love you all so much, and I will see you on the next episode of the Spirit.
