The Higher Self Hotline

(Episode #365)

Wanting something badly can make it surprisingly hard to trust the feeling that it’s meant for you. Suddenly every intuitive nudge gets cross-examined. Is this real? Am I making it up? Do I just want it too much?

This week the Hotline is ringing and Zoey and Amelia are talking about trusting intuition when it sounds like wishful thinking and changing direction when your family would love for you to pick a lane already. They also get into hearing “I miss the old you” when you finally like who you’ve become and staying open to the people you love without losing yourself.

In Crybaby Club, Amelia shares a medical experience that left her wishing for more gentleness. Zoey is crying over Frodo and facing the responsibility of bringing her own vision to life. After years of waiting to be discovered, she’s realizing she’s the person she’s been waiting for.

In this episode we’re talking about:

00:00 Welcome to The Higher Self Hotline

04:12 Crybaby Club: Medical Anxiety, Vulnerability and Finding Courage

24:24 Choosing Yourself and Taking Action on Creative Dreams

37:06 Intuition vs Wishful Thinking and Learning to Trust Yourself

44:13 Changing Careers and Giving Yourself Permission to Reinvent Your Life

50:21 Personal Growth, Family Expectations and Changing Relationships

(Episode #364) Have you ever known what felt right for you, then started second-guessing it because you weren’t sure anyone else would understand? In our live coaching series inside The Bitching Hour!, we’re digging into real questions from real people who are doing the work.

Today’s conversation is all about trusting yourself when life starts looking different than you planned. One community member is navigating a layoff while craving the creativity she’s had to put aside. Another is opening up to a relationship that feels deeply supportive after leaving her marriage, but worrying about what her family will think. Zoey helps them make room for what they want and listen to their intuition without rushing past what they’re ready for. You don’t need the whole plan or everyone’s permission to take the next step, darling.

In this episode:

(00:00) Introducing The Bitching Hour!

(01:21) A community update and a new chapter for The Bitching Hour

(06:56) Navigating a layoff, career uncertainty and creative desires

(10:55) Building self-trust without forcing yourself into a leap

(22:26) Overthinking, visibility and letting yourself be seen

(26:17) Starting over after a marriage and opening up to new love

(Episode #363) How much of yourself are you editing to stay likable?

This week, Zoey is joined by spiritual teacher and wise woman Amanda Baudier. After two decades helping build businesses like Sakara Life and Melissa Wood Health, Amanda knows what it feels like to keep proving yourself. She also knows the freedom of finally letting people have their opinions while you get on with being who you came here to be.

Zoey shares the beliefs about aging that came knocking at 35, opening up a conversation about why we put expiration dates on our dreams in the first place. Amanda’s invitation to “dream slower” feels especially good if you’ve been chasing your calling with one eye on everyone else’s timeline. Together, they get honest about people pleasing and the shame that can keep us quiet, including what it means to trust ourselves enough to speak when the conversation is uncomfortable. There’s room to want more from your life without spending the whole thing trying to prove you’re enough.

In this episode:

00:00 Welcome back + introducing Amanda Baudier

03:43 A humming practice to help you feel present

08:35 The pressure to be a likable woman

23:32 Reconnecting with your ancestral wisdom

37:37 You can want more without feeling behind

50:51 When shame keeps you from trying again

01:08:12 Your spiritual gifts have a bigger purpose

You know what you want to build. Who do you want building it with you?

This week Zoey and Amelia are back with your October numerology forecast. October is a collective 2 month, and Zoey wants us to pay attention to our people. Who believes in what we’re making? Who can we ask for help? And where are we still trying to do everything ourselves? After a month that pushed us to get moving, there’s some relief in hearing that we can give what we’ve started time to grow.

Amelia shares that she’s finishing the first draft of her novel, and Zoey talks about the show she’s decided to make. Both are at the beginning of something big, and neither knows exactly where it will lead. They talk about the friends who get excited with you, the support you find when you let people in and how to tell when you’re bending yourself to belong somewhere that doesn’t feel right.

In this episode we’re talking about:

00:00 Welcome Back to The Higher Self Hotline and October’s Forecast

13:20 Amelia’s Personal Year 3 and Finishing Her First Novel

17:50 What Amelia’s Personal Month 4 Means for Her Next Chapter

26:21 Zoey’s Personal Year 8 and Her Vision for a Show

40:01 October’s Collective 2 Month Numerology Forecast

47:08 Calling In Community and Choosing Your Collaborators

49:25 People-Pleasing, Intuition and Finding Where You Belong

Hello, divine darlings, and welcome to our first-ever Hotline Round Table! This week, Zoey is joined by Kitty Knorr and Cat Lantigua to talk about creative callings, the angst of ignoring the ideas that won’t leave you alone and why you don’t need to feel completely confident before you start.

You know that idea that keeps coming back no matter how many times you try to ignore it? What would happen if you kept pulling on that thread? What happens when you stop waiting for proof and let yourself follow the “what if?” instead? From building your own DIY empire to finding the right people to create alongside, this conversation is about trusting what wants to come through you and being delusional enough to believe something new is possible.

In this episode, we talk about:

00:00 Welcome Back and Introducing Kitty Knorr and Cat Lantigua

03:00 Following Your Curiosity Without Self-Belief

12:03 Creative Yearning and Following Your Desires

29:00 Building Your Own DIY Empire

42:19 Delusion as Fuel for Creativity

(Episode #360) What happens when the part of you that's dying refuses to go quietly? In this episode of The Bitching Hour's live coaching series, we're sitting with surrender, self-trust, and the strange courage it takes to choose yourself.

Today's conversation moves through the space between old identities and new ones — from a decision that feels too big to make, to the fear of betting on your own talent, to giving yourself permission to heal even while someone you love is still struggling.

In this episode:

(00:00) Introducing The Bitching Hour!

(01:03) Surrender as an act of power: collapsing the spiral

(18:41) Choosing between two homes — and learning to trust your inner knowing

(34:37) Outsourcing your stability vs. betting on yourself

(59:54) Self-permission when someone you love is struggling

(1:17:51) Angel numbers, signs, and trusting you're on the right path

What if the feelings you’ve been judging yourself for are actually trying to tell you something?

This week, Zoey and Amelia are back with more of your Hotline questions! This round is all about the things we’re sometimes afraid to admit. Is it okay to outgrow a friendship when no one did anything wrong? Does wanting money, success, or a partner who spoils you make you shallow? And what do you do when someone else’s life makes you wildly jealous?

What would a catch-up be without Crybaby Club!? They share what’s been making them cry lately – from Amelia learning to care for herself through a season of major growth to Zoey unpacking perfectionism, self-sabotage and her fear of being seen. There’s a lot of permission in this one to stop explaining yourself quite so much and start paying attention to what your feelings might already be telling you. We're so glad you're here to unpack it with us!

In this episode we’re talking about:

00:00 Welcome Back to The Higher Self Hotline

06:02 Why Does Growth Sometimes Make You Feel Physically Exhausted?

11:11 How Your Nervous System Responds to Personal Growth

23:22 When Perfectionism Becomes Self-Sabotage

44:33 How Do You Know When You’ve Outgrown a Friendship?

(Episode #13) Ever felt like you had to shrink yourself down to be understood by the people who love you? In this week's Bitching Hour, we're talking about the tender, confusing work of staying open-hearted while living a life your loved ones can't quite compute — and why detaching from being understood might be the most freeing thing you ever do.

This week's call opens in death-and-rebirth territory and becomes a launchpad for a bigger conversation about cyclical endings and why "the program will run until it's complete." Zoey and Brittany read the collective energy of what's actually going on energetically right now, and a longtime community member opens up about the exhausting tightrope of living authentically around people who will never fully get it — and what to do when your boundaries start calcifying into walls.

In this episode:

(00:00) Brittany's identity death, the THC-festival flashback, and why dying is a constant, not a crisis

(07:43) Why "the program will run until it's complete"

(15:24) A caller asks what's energetically happening in the world right now — eclipse season, the 1-1 portal, and the difference between urgency and readiness

(20:51) Holding intensity and hope at once, the collapse of old systems, and an invitation into a new-earth channeling circle

(27:04) A caller opens up about the exhaustion of living authentically around loved ones who don't get it — and where her boundaries have hardened into walls

(32:54) Neutrality and planting seeds instead of over-explaining, and detaching from the need to be understood

(41:49) Closing remarks, community housekeeping, and where to find Brittany and Zoey

What if the closure you’ve been waiting for was never theirs to give you?

This week Zoey sits down with author, activist and educator Najwa Zebian for a conversation about what happens when we stop handing our healing back to the people who hurt us. Najwa talks about the stories we tell ourselves about why someone hurt us – and why that's what tends to consume us.

Together they explore a vital truth: needing people doesn’t make you needy. Period, end of sentence. Upholding standards for how people can treat you in relationships will allow you to stop carrying old wounds into new connections.

In this episode we’re talking about:

00:00 Welcome Back and Introducing Dr. Najwa Zebian

04:23 Healing Without an Apology

10:02 When Nothing They Can Give You Will Be Enough

16:49 Why Closure Is a Myth

25:19 Taking the Pen Back After Someone Hurts You

33:56 Needing People Doesn’t Make You Needy

38:22 Why People Do Owe You Something

43:29 Why We Stay in Relationships That Hurt Us

(Episode #11) What if the only thing standing between you and receiving is your own permission? This week's live coaching covers a lot of ground: a freelancer weighing a stable corporate job against the terrifying, exciting possibility that her dreams are actually coming true; a business owner who's been hemorrhaging energy and money while convinced the answer is always to give more; a handywoman stuck in an invoicing spiral that's really about permission, not productivity; and a listener untangling anxious-avoidant patterns in a new dating connection. Threaded through all of it is the same question Brittany and Zoey keep circling back to — not "what more can you give," but "what are you willing to receive?"

In this episode:

(00:00) Introducing The Bitching Hour, plus glimmers and stickies

(00:10) A client's question: choosing between a stable dream job and the fear of jumping into someone else's timeline

(00:35) Rewriting the nervous system's relationship to hope — why "worst-case scenario" is a defense, not a fact

(00:38) A client's question: healing a lifelong receiving wound after years of hemorrhaging energy and money

(01:14) A client's question: the invoicing block that's really about giving your "baby business" permission to be enough

(01:39) A listener's reflections on disorganized attachment, the hiding wound, and choosing to slow down instead of self-sabotage

(01:53) Closing remarks and a first look at Brittany and Zoey's new 21-day joint offer, "That Bitch"
