Welcome to the Spiritual Hustler podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Zweig, multi seven figure serial entrepreneur, best selling author and branding and business coach. And this is a show where we are redefining the word hustle. Reclaiming our true feminine nature of magnetism and putting down the self judgments and shame around loving to work and making a lot of money at it. On this show, you're going to learn how to stop hustling and start spiritually hustling by pressing play. You are now now part of a new movement of women who don't hustle for money. We hustle for meaning. We don't hustle from lack. We hustle for love. We don't hustle from survival. We hustle for humanity's thriving. We hustle toward healing the ancestral programming of fear and step into a new understanding of safety in the body to receive. This shift isn't going to only heal your life. It's going to make you a whole lot richer too. This is the Spiritual Hustler podcast. Well, hello my beautiful spiritual Hustlers and welcome back to the podcast. No, I'm not gonna sing. I almost tried but I'm tone deaf and I'm not even gonna go there. But I am going to get really, really, really raw with you guys today because that's what you come for, right? On the Spiritual Hustler podcast, we don't around, we go all the way in. And each and every Thursday here on the pod, we unlock a new lock. I have this beautiful tattoo of a key on my heart and it's my favorite. I have like 12, 13 tattoos at this point, I forget I lose count, but the one on my heart is my favorite one. And keys are just this very significant totem metaphor symbol in my life that represents our pathway towards our highest divinity. You know, here on the Spiritual Hustler podcast, we talk about business, we talk about branding, leadership, operations, how to be a freaking CEO, queen, boss, babe of her own reality. But we also talk about, you know, what is this reality? Is this even real? We talk about the spiritual, the divine, the connection that we all have in our own right to spirit and all of the magical, alchemical, potent and very real ways we can connect to those parts of ourselves. Source, intelligence, frequency, angels, guides, pleiadians. For me at least, that's what I attune to my extraterrestrial star family. So if you are new to the show, welcome. We talk about all of the things here and if you're not new, you already know this. And on the unlocking series, we go deep into a lot of different topics across this spiritual hustler spectrum. And today I want to really unpack loneliness because it's a very common experience for all of us. But I really particularly think it's an excruciatingly specific experience for women entrepreneurs. And I've really had to journey through this portal of recognizing that loneliness is not the absence of people. It's the absence of connection to yourself, to your truth, and to the divine. And when I was first starting my agency, Simply be in 2017, I was working my ass off. I was deep, deep, deep in that hustle. I hadn't burnt out fully yet. That was coming for me about five and a half years later when I hit rock bottom and was diagnosed with depression and couldn't leave my house like that level of burnout. But in those first six, seven, eight, nine months, it was a rocket ship and I was running so fast. And I knew in my body that I needed a break. And I had never traveled all by myself before. And I got the hit that I needed to try. I needed to go somewhere far away, alone for a few days and just rest. And I ended up finding Nosara, Costa Rica. This is a 2017 era, before Nosara became what it is today. I don't know if anyone's ever been there, but it's. It's popping, it's alive. But when I went there, it was like a dirt road and no one knew about it. It was really sacred at the time. It's changed a lot. Still amazing. But I digress. I spent six days in Nosara by myself. I meditated twice a day. I took yoga every day. And I read Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth and was basically in silent retreat myself for six days. And I had basically what you could consider an existential crisis because I had gotten out of the concrete jungle of Chicago and was in the middle of the jungle, Mama Earth, Gaia, rooting down into this portal of a place. And I recognized then that there is a distinction in loneliness and deep aloneness, and both are uncomfortable and both are confronting. But what I want to invite you into, consider whether you're struggling with your own discomfort in loneliness or aloneness, however you define it, whatever your experience is, to remember that it is not a punishment. Loneliness. If you've been cast into loneliness based maybe on a breakup or a relationship ending or a move from a city far away from the people you know, the most isolation often comes before any initiation.

And let me just break down what I mean when I say initiation. Initiation is the death and rebirth alchemy of our own evolution. And that shit is pa. And whenever you're peaking in that pain, remember that you are not being punished by some higher force or being asked to sit there and wallow. You're actually being upgraded. Because the old you must fall away before the new you arrives. And that is some sacred shit. And when you are in that portal of loneliness, aloneness, this Is your opportunity, in that silence and stillness and aloneness, to reconnect with the parts of you that you might have abandoned? I'll just use that simple trip to Costa Rica when it wasn't. It was actually quite simple. It wasn't easy, but it was profound. And I remember getting so lit by the ability to simply hear my own thoughts and to move through that uneasiness of being in my own company and feeling awkward and weird and uncomfortable and insecure in it, to moving through it day by day, bit by bit, minute by minute, into the experience of enjoying it, relishing in it, actually. So you can use these portals of loneliness as a time to remember the parts of you that you might have left behind. To be loved, to be liked, accepted. Loneliness reveals the you that's been waiting for you. I'd been so busy running my business at the time that I forgot all of these little tiny pieces of me that were screaming from my attention, needing me to heal, look at, address, own, take responsibility for, journal, cry, laugh. And to be frank, I have committed to taking what I call now an alone moon every single year ever since 2017. There's such magic in that. And a lot of this discomfort in being lonely is this frequency of asking yourself, am I maybe too much for people? Am I too much for my partner? Am I too much for my team? Am I too much for the world? And maybe as a result of that, you feel like you don't belong. And if this is rising in your loneliness, here's what I'm telling you, sister. You're being invited to meet your own power because you're not too much. You do belong. You're exactly right for the places and the spaces you're meant to create, not fit into. Now, one of the things that I encourage you to do, if you're in a stage, a season, a moment of loneliness, to call in your council. Because they're always with you. Maybe they're your galactic council, your angelic council, your earthly guides, soul sisters, future clients. Speak to them, ask them to come. Remember that we don't attract from pain, we attract from embodiment. And when we're willing to allow the feelings of grief and sadness and fear flow all the way through us, we alchemize it, we transmute it, we transform. I am actually going through my own bit of loneliness right now in a relationship, and I've got a lot of space and time right now to be with myself because my husband's out of town and. And you know what I'm doing I sound crazy, but I'll just tell you. I walk around my house talking to my guides like I have full out conversations in my own loneliness. Because I know I'm not alone. Because they're with me right here, anytime I need them. And I just want to invite you to go out on the limb to be the community that you crave. If you're feeling alone, then courage and bravery is probably the most alchemizing of them all. Meaning go out and invite a new friend for coffee. Host a gathering at your house that you wish existed. Write a post that you wish someone would write. Say the thing you wish someone would say to you. You go first. That is some light warrior, because you're not a victim to any of it. It's your sacred responsibility to claim all parts of yourself. And it's up to you, babe. Only you get to change your reality. And I just want to finally remind you that you're really never alone in the frequency of your own truth. The more that you continue to come home to yourself, whether that's voluntarily, like going on a trip to Costa Rica all by yourself or involuntarily, if you go through a breakup or someone shuts you out of their life, or you feel like you've got too much space in your day and you get antsy sitting with yourself. Like the more that you voluntarily come home to yourself, nonetheless, the more the universe rushes to meet you. And when it does, you will feel, you will know in your mind, in your heart and in your body that it's impossible for you to be alone. Because you, sister, are a piece of the divine oneness that exists in all of us. And this is my mantra, what I tell myself in the loneliness that I choose and in the loneliness that I don't. And I hope that this key unlocked that remembrance in you today. I love you so much. Thank you for being with me here on this episode and I will see you on the next. Bye, guys.

Episode Title: Unlocking Loneliness: How to Find Your Power in Isolation and Remember You're Never Alone
Host: Jessica Zweig
Release Date: June 12, 2025
In this deeply personal and insightful episode, Jessica Zweig delves into the pervasive issue of loneliness, particularly as it affects women entrepreneurs. Drawing from her own experiences and spiritual insights, Jessica redefines loneliness not merely as the absence of people but as a profound disconnection from oneself, one's truth, and the divine.
Jessica begins by sharing her intensive experience building her agency, Simply Be, starting in 2017. During the initial phase, she was engulfed in the hustle, operating at a frenetic pace that eventually led to burnout and a severe depression diagnosis five and a half years later. However, six to nine months into her venture, she sensed the impending burnout and decided to take a much-needed break.

Seeking solace, Jessica traveled alone to Nosara, Costa Rica—a place that was still untouched and sacred at the time. During her six-day self-imposed silent retreat, she engaged in meditation, yoga, and reading Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth. This period marked a significant turning point where she began to understand the difference between loneliness and aloneness.
