“Ambition is a desire for more life, a wish to grow, a wish to unfold.” —Amina AlTai   

What if ambition isn't the problem, but the way we've been taught to pursue it is? Jess sits down with executive coach and author Amina AlTai for a powerful deep dive about redefining success, breaking free from burnout, and building a life where ambition, joy, and well-being can all coexist.

Amina shares the health crisis that forced her to reevaluate everything, how childhood programming and societal expectations shape our relationship with achievement, and why she believes ambition should be purposeful rather than painful. Together, they explore what it means to honor your natural seasons, set boundaries without guilt, and create success that actually feels good.

“Whenever we are out of integrity with why we’re doing something, you are always going to fail. When you are 100% in integrity… God will not let you fail.” —Samantha Skelly   

What if the real key to building a powerful business is teaching your body that it’s safe enough to fully become who you are? Jess sits down with Samantha Skelly, founder of Pause Breathwork, for a conversation about nervous system regulation, integrity as a guide, entrepreneurship, breathwork, and creating a life from alignment instead of survival.

Samantha shares how her own struggles with anxiety, body image, and disordered eating ultimately led her to breathwork, and how that experience became the foundation for a mission to bring breathwork to the world. She also opens up about building Pause, appearing on Shark Tank, navigating profound personal loss, and learning to stay grounded when life doesn’t go according to plan.

“Coherence is deeper than authenticity. Authenticity says, ‘This is who I am.’ Coherence asks, ‘Does every aspect of my life align with that story?’” —Jessica Zweig       

What if the next evolution of leadership isn’t about becoming more visible, successful, or influential, but becoming more coherent? In this Unlocking episode, Jess reflects on stepping away from social media and realizing how much of the online world has become driven by attention, performance, control, and the pressure to constantly produce.

Jess explores what it means to align your human experience, your shadow, your heart, and your soul, and why she believes coherence will become one of the most valuable currencies in an increasingly AI-generated world.

Listen to Jessica’s conversation with Lauryn Henley, Why You’re Supposed to Get Excited When Life Falls Apart

Key Topics:

1. Coherence as the New Currency      

• Becoming less interested in popularity, virality, and external validation 
• The difference between appearing authentic and living in true alignment across every area of your life

2. Integrating Your Human, Shadow, Heart & Soul  

• Jessica’s framework for understanding the 3D, 4D, 5D, and 7D aspects of ourselves
• Meeting the controlling, fearful, and protective parts of yourself with awareness instead of rejection

3. A New Paradigm of Feminine Leadership  

• Why real leadership requires accountability, self-awareness, and a willingness to examine your own triggers
• Choosing to do your inner work instead of projecting unprocessed emotions into the public square

“You’re not the seeker. You’re the thing you’re seeking.” —Frank Elaridi   

What happens when you stop searching outside yourself for the answers and realize that what you’ve been seeking has been within you all along? Jess sits down with Emmy Award-winning former journalist and energy healer Frank Elaridi for a deeply spiritual conversation about consciousness, healing, self-realization, and remembering who you truly are.

Frank shares the intuitive pull that led him away from journalism and into energy healing, the extraordinary spiritual experience that radically changed his understanding of himself, and why he ultimately walked away from many of the practices he once believed would lead him closer to enlightenment. Together, he and Jess explore what exists beyond identity, the body, and even the idea of the spiritual “seeker.”

“The humans in my company are doing irreplaceable work. AI is doing replaceable work.” —Callan Faulkner   

What if AI isn’t here to make us less human, but to give us the time and space to become MORE human? Jess sits down with Callan Faulkner, founder of The Uncommon Business, to explore what it actually looks like to build an AI-powered business without sacrificing your creativity, intuition, values, or soul. They unpack the difference between simply “using ChatGPT” and actually training AI employees, why the work that only YOU can do is becoming more valuable, how AI can give founders back hours of their lives, and why conscious entrepreneurs have an opportunity to use this technology in service of greater freedom, abundance, impact, and human connection. 

If this conversation blows your mind open to what’s possible, don’t stop here. Jess experienced the same shift when she took Callan’s AI Employee Bootcamp earlier this year, and Callan is bringing it back for three live, 90-minute virtual sessions on September 29, October 1, and October 6. You’ll go behind the scenes of real AI-powered business systems, see how AI employees work across different kinds of businesses, and leave with your first two AI employees already working.

Key Topics:

1. Building an AI-Powered Business      

• Why AI should handle replaceable work so humans can focus on what makes them irreplaceable
• Moving beyond basic prompting to training AI projects, skills, and specialized “employees” 

2. Scaling, Leadership & the $19.5M Launch  

• How Callan prepared mentally and financially for a level of growth beyond her original goal
• Transitioning from being the doer in your business to becoming the true visionary 

3. Using Technology to Create More Life 

• How AI can create more space for relationships, creativity, spirituality, family, travel, and presence
• Why scaling doesn’t have to mean working harder, longer, or sacrificing your peace

“The future isn’t asking humans to become more artificial. It’s challenging us to become even more intentional about what deserves our human energy.” —Jessica Zweig       

What if AI isn’t here to take you further away from your humanity, but to give you MORE time to experience it? In this Unlocking episode, Jess shares how her relationship with AI transformed from resistance into partnership, fundamentally changing the way she runs her business, protects her creativity, and spends her most valuable resource: her time.

This isn’t about blindly adopting technology. It’s about consciously using AI to handle what’s repeatable so you have more space for what makes you irreplaceably human: your creativity, discernment, leadership, relationships, spirituality, and magic.

• Why simply asking ChatGPT questions is different from redesigning your workflow with AI

3. Buying Back Your Time & Becoming More Human

• Using increased efficiency to create more space for relationships, creativity, leadership, prayer, and presence
