The Higher Self Hotline

(Episode #10) What if the thing you're most afraid people will think of you is actually the doorway to your next evolution? In this eclipse episode of our live coaching series inside The Bitching Hour!, we're digging into the fear of being seen — in money, in visibility, and in not knowing what comes next. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting support, or terrified of being watched, this is the episode for you.
Recorded on the day of the eclipse and deep inside a collective month nine, this episode is soaked in purge energy — endings, closure, and hard-won wisdom. One caller is ready to leave a stable job for something her intuition can't yet justify on paper, and finds herself wrestling with guilt over leaning on her partner financially. Another is caught in a moral tangle over building something with AI while trying to separate genuine excitement from outside noise. Two more callers bring the visibility conversation full circle — one learning to trust her own unconventional pace, and one confronting a lifelong fear of being on camera with an unexpectedly playful fix. Expect talk of financial receiving, body image, alter egos, and the difference between what we should do and what we actually want.

(02:54) Eclipse season and the numerology of month nine: purging, closure, and wisdom
(05:05) A caller's pull to leave corporate for an unproven path

The intuitive hit was real. So why does it keep feeling like something to defend? This week Zoey and Amelia dig into what happens after you make the call, when the payoff hasn't shown up yet and your ego won't stop arguing with a decision your gut already made.
They open with Crybaby Club, where Amelia gets honest about the complex grief of finally landing her dream life abroad and immediately feeling a new ambition pulling at her. Zoey shares the full story behind turning down a TV development deal last month, the regret spiral that followed, and what finally brought her peace with the decision. Then they dial into two listener questions: one on building trust in spirit without needing proof it's real, and one on how to tell intuition apart from ego when the payoff hasn't shown up yet.
In this episode we're talking about:
0:00 Welcome back and Amelia's new shag haircut
8:58 Crybaby Club: the frustration of finally landing your dream life
25:32 Crybaby Club: Zoey on turning down a TV deal and trusting her no
59:36 Hotline Question 1: building trust in spirit without needing proof
1:14:49 Hotline Question 2: was it intuition, or a permission slip to leave?

(Episode #9) Have you ever felt the universe rearrange itself the second you decided to level up? In this two-part live coaching series inside The Bitching Hour!, we're digging into the beliefs, signals, and body signs that show up right before a timeline shift.
Today’s conversation is a dive into capacity, belief, and receptivity. Brittany and Zoey coach one client through a chaotic week of broken appliances and impossible-to-ignore signs, reframing "why is this happening to me" into "this is happening for me" — before turning to a second client's fear that her business, and her worth, can't be seen without paying to be seen. Then the conversation moves into the body: a client working the vulnerable edge of directness in a new dating dynamic, a speed-round on overstimulation, and a closing question about what to do when your body resists the exact timeline you asked for. Threaded through both episodes is one throughline — the medicine you want to give the world, you have to give to yourself first.
(00:00) Welcome to The Bitching Hour + community updates
(03:39) Reading the signs of a timeline shift in real time
(20:16) The "I can hold it" mantra for expanding your nervous system's capacity
(22:33) Breaking a generational curse in a dealership parking lot
(28:41) Turning ad anxiety into a belief audit
(43:01) The neuroscience of change
(52:42) Why you're always your own first clienta

Have you ever been told to keep your gifts to yourself? What if the very thing you were taught to hide is actually the thing the world needs from you most?
On this episode of The Higher Self Hotline, Zoey talks with Dr. Judith Orloff, UCLA psychiatric faculty member and author of The Empath's Survival Guide and Second Sight, about what it actually means to be an empath and how to protect your energy day to day.
Dr. Orloff opens up about a family that told her to hide her intuitive gifts and the deathbed revelation that changed everything, then gets practical on the difference between empathy and being an empath, the tools she uses to stop absorbing everyone else's emotions, and why partnership can be hard for empaths.

00:00 Welcome to The Higher Self Hotline
02:10 Growing Up Without Support
09:37 The Deathbed Revelation
13:05 Empathy vs. Being an Empath

(Episode #8) What happens when you're the one everyone else leans on — and you're quietly running on empty? Today's conversation moves through the layered experience of holding space for others while running out of gas — from community leaders juggling motherhood and mission, to the ache of watching your inner growth outpace your outer reality. Zoey and Brittany get into the difference between burnout and self-abandonment, why delegation actually requires trust (not just asking for help), and why this whole collective season can feel like one long waiting room.
Along the way, we sit with two community members in very different liminal spaces — one caught between an old identity and a new one, and one facing grief, instability, and the hard work of learning to feel safe inside her own body again.
In this episode:
(00:00) Introducing The Bitching Hour
(02:00) A community leader's question: how do you create stability when you're holding everything for everyone else?
(11:11) The real-life story that reframes what delegation actually requires
(21:39) The "earth doula" download: why this collective season feels so unstable
(30:00) A second question: caught between your old self and your new self, and the cost of staying in the waiting room
(41:00) A raw question about grief, money, and not feeling safe anywhere — including in your own body
(52:57) The house metaphor for reclaiming a home inside yourself
