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 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. Hello my beautiful souls, and welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Jess, and I'm so excited as always to be with you here on yet another unlocking episode. Every Thursday here on the pod, we come in. I give it to you hot, blazing hot, off of my tiny little cosmic keychain, giving you all of the keys, the codes, same diff to unlock what is keeping you blocked in your life. You see how that just rhymed? I'm on one today, you guys. If you're new to the show, welcome. If you're not new, welcome back. Here on the Spiritual Hustler, we combine the conversation in one breath on what it means to be a spiritual being, having a human experience while building a big ass business, making a lot of money and not killing ourselves to do it. So are you happy you're here? I'm happy you're here. And speaking of not killing ourselves to do it, we gotta talk about that, sister. Because I nearly killed myself scaling my last company. I mean, I think I've hit burnout probably like 20 times, to be honest. Like, I know that energetic signature in my body far too well. But there was one particular burnout that was pretty freaking traumatizing. I talked a lot about this in my book, the Light Work. I shared this story across my platform. But 2022 was the darkest, hardest year of my life because burnout had left me unable to get out of bed. Burnout had left me unable to leave my house, unable to shower, socialize. It's called diagnosed depression. And was in a pretty dark, rageful state for about a year of my life. At the peak of my success, while everyone from the outside in thought that I was winning, I was dying. And so we're not here to do that. That's what this whole show, frankly is in a response to was that inflection point in my career. And I effectively died that year. A big part of me died. But the beautiful thing about life is that it operates in cycles. So wherever there is a death, there's always going to be a rebirth. And over these last few years in my rebirthing, I have come to know the nervous system very, very well. And I had to admit something, you guys, I had actually never heard of the term. Well, I. No one had brought it into my reality, the nervous system, until like 20, 22, 23, and now everyone's talking about the nervous system. But it's kind of incredible that this was not a part of my consciousness for as long as I was running my business. Because if I had these tools, if I understood what this really meant, and I'm going to break this down today in a fast paced life, let alone a fast paced business, I would have been so much better off. I never would have reached that point where I couldn't leave my house. Now, I'm grateful in many ways for that year because it taught me so much. But I digress. I want us to really all open up to the truth that for most of us, for the most part, the way we are operating our businesses specifically and our lives is not sustainable and we have to do a major, major reset. I want to ask you, you know, is you're thinking about what's working in your business, what's not working in your business, why aren't you scaling as fast as you want to be scaling? What if your capacity to scale your business had less to do actually with your strategy and more to do with your nervous system? Because most women are taught to push, to stretch, but not to stabilize. And growth without grounding will always equal collapse. So I want to talk about the concept of pace frequency. Because the truth is, if you're doing your job well, if you're putting out your beautiful brand and your gorgeous services and you're getting clients, which all of the women in my community are doing inside of the Feminine frequency business school and the women that I see in the space and colleagues and friends of mine, like we're good at what we do and we're marketing it effectively, we're going to get business just like the natural order of things. But you're not just scaling a business. You are scaling your ability to hold your business. I'm gonna say that again. You're not just scaling your business. You have to scale your ability to hold your business. This includes clients, your cashflow, your creative downloads, your public attention, your team dynamics. Like everything expands as the business expands, which means you have to energetically expand. And what does expansion energetically look like? I'm going to tell you, it's pretty counterintuitive. The faster you grow, the slower you must move internally. Okay, and say that again. The faster your business starts to grow, the slower you must learn how to move internally. So a couple signs that you might not be moving slow enough internally. I'm just going to break these down. Most likely can relate. At least I can. Emotional volatility. Anyone feel like sometimes they can just be a bitch? Not because you're not a kind person, but because you're exhausted and you're irritable. Rage or tears. Post a big launch or push. Or maybe you get sick after a big push. Maybe you experience resistance to good news. Like you have an upper limit. Freak out. Anytime something big and epic happens to you, you can't hold it. Or obsessing over what's next constantly versus celebrating what is. So if you can see yourself in any of this, I want to talk about some practices that are really here to help you hold not just the bigness of your business, but but the bigness of your life. Your spiritual growth, your relationships, your health, your joy. One of my favorite terms in the world is how good can you stand it? So micro regulation during the day is gonna change your life. Three minute breath breaks. One moment of stillness before every meeting. Grounding outside through your senses. Touching the trees, smelling the flowers, listening to the birds. All of this regulates your nervous system. I also cannot stress enough the importance of microflow. I talk about this all the time, but I have been on micro dosing mushrooms with microflow for three years. I would not be coming out the gate speaking so emphatically about this product if it didn't truly change my life. I don't really align with brands unless I use them. 1 and 2. I believe in them. 3. They've changed my life, body, skin, health, business in some way. And when it comes to the nervous system, this is exactly what microflow is here to help you do. To rewire your subconscious mind to impact your physical system. And my nervous system really took a giant leap into calibration when I started working with them. So you can go to microflowhealing.com use my code JESSICA10 to get $10 off. I'll leave the link in the show notes. Huge, huge practice to expand your CEO nervous system. And honestly, Joy, Joy is the most underrated business growth strategy. I was actually having a really shitty morning this morning. I felt like really cranky and tired and out of it. And I opened up Instagram and one of my friends was doing a live stream on ig, dancing to the Bee Gees, Staying alive. And she was like, Friday, dance party. I'm just gonna freaking move my body. Join me if you want to, you know you want to do it. She looked freaking amazing like. Anyway, I was so inspired by her that I stopped what I was doing and I danced with her. I danced to the whole song with her, just moved my body to music. And I immediately, within three and a half minutes, felt a shift. I'm still feeling that shift. Honestly. You can light a candle before you open your laptop. Create some ceremonial, ritualistic, anointing conscious moment before you dive right in to all of the to dos and the emails and everyone else's agenda that is asking you to expand, expand from sovereignty, your heart, yourself, your intention. And I think it's really important that we create beauty. I mean, beauty is such a new earth code. Whether that's fresh flowers or a beautiful altar you put by your desk, or cleaning up your space, just simply letting your system relax based on the beauty that holds you. Here's a couple other quick tools that I use in my toolkit. This is for real. This is literally what I do. I have a weekly CEO day on Fridays with zero deliverables. I don't owe anybody anything. I just integrate on Fridays, whatever that looks like. Whether that is catching up on my inbox, if that feels good for me, or I take a walk in a beautiful park not far from my house or I go get a fucking massage. But I have a weekly CEO day. I always do what I call a stillness sprint after a launch. I always take at least two days off after a launch, completely unplugging so that I can really, truly rest my body. Vocal release work or primal movement after big pitches. I love to just move nervous energy out of my body. Sometimes before or after I. I'm about to get in front of a big group of people and my anxiety is crippling and I know that I have to hold more than I've ever held before. I. I work with energy in my body. I shake, I scream, I laugh, I sing, I dance, I move so I just want us to reframe through the lens of what our nervous system is here to lovingly remind us is that success does not look like being busy all the time. It means being regulated all the time. That is success. Regulating while rising. And embodiment isn't necessarily this soft, gentle thing that we incorporate because it feels like embodiment is actually truly effective and smart leadership. So the new currency isn't cash, sister. It's capacity. And capacity starts in the body because you were not meant to sacrifice your peace for power. You weren't. I wasn't. I wasn't then.
