There’s a lot of talk these days about what it means to connect with your “feminine power.” We see #Tradwives trending all over the internet; Nara Smith is making complicated recipes for her husband from scratch while millions tune in; and Hannah Neelman (aka Ballerina Farm, 10m followers) is receiving international coverage for her controversial return to "traditional" gender roles… it can all leave a woman feeling a bit confused about the state of “femininity” and what it means in relation to “stepping into our power.”

Jessica Zweig was an in-debt party-girl blogger in Chicago before losing it all and turning her life around… and turn it around she did, becoming a seven figure CEO, completing a lucrative exit from the agency she founded, and eventually…. Becoming an author, coach, and spiritual guide who believes in the power of light work, connecting to the feminine (without losing your fierceness), and…. Aliens?

Yup, Jessica is a force to be reckoned with, with incredible stories to share… including her ego-death amidst the pyramids of Egypt and why she believes she is from a family of extraterrestrials from another galaxy. Seriously. 

Only Jessica could share these stories and make it sound not only completely feasible…. But beautiful, attainable, and a part of the natural journey towards personal development and entrepreneurial success.

Jessica’s Bio: 

Jessica has built a career as a serial entrepreneur, a #1 bestselling author, and exited founder on the premise of one thing:

Authenticity.

As the Founder of SimplyBe. Agency, now a Hawke Media company, she has helped turn hundreds of clients into magnets, and thousands more with her trademarked personal branding methodology, that she translated into courses, workshops, trainings, retreats and her #1 bestselling book, “Be. - A No Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself.”

Since its inception in 2017, SimplyBe. quickly became the leading boutique personal branding agency in the nation, winning Inc. 5000’s Fastest Growing Company and Inc.’s Power Partners (400 of the world’s top B2B service firms) in 2023. It achieved this through her and the team’s white-glove, best-in-class services of personal brand identity development, brand strategy and brand management, inclusive of thought leadership content creation, social media management and PR to our corporate executive and entrepreneur clients.

Now with her Hawke Media partnership, the company is set to scale personal branding to the international market, powered by its full suite of capabilities including paid search, paid social, influencer & affiliate marketing, corporate strategy, SEO, website development, email marketing, traditional media and more.

Traversing the intense landscape that is entrepreneurship led Jessica down a deep spiritual journey, and this inspired her to create spaces for other professional women on a similar path, seeking community and connection. Today, she hosts signature retreats, “Claim Your Light” - which intersect business, branding and spirituality, unlike any other experiential product on the market. Her next retreat is taking place in January 2025.

In February 2024, she is launching her third business, with new offerings working directly with entrepreneurial women in VIP accelerators and 1:1 containers. 

Her second book, ‘THE LIGHT WORK: Reclaim Your Feminine Power, Live Your Cosmic Truth, Illuminate The World’ hits shelves August 6, 2024.
