The Higher Self Hotline

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.

(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

(#351) Fashion isn't superficial. It's spell work.
This week, Zoey sits down with celebrity stylist Lo VonRumpf. Lo walks us through his own journey with style and self expression: a love letter to the five-year-old with the Hello Kitty bag. That kid is now the man dressing some of the most recognizable people on the planet.
Style, it turns out, was never just fabric for Lo. It was protection. It was survival. He walks us through fashion as manifestation – a way of becoming who you're meant to be one outfit at a time. Zoey pulls Lo's numerology into the mix too, (a birthday number 3 with a double 8 life path and destiny number), tying those numbers straight into who he is and how he moves through the world. They go behind the curtain of the entertainment industry, into the real fear that comes with fame, and into how he's managed to stay grounded through all of it.

In this episode we're talking about:
00:00 Welcome back to The Higher Self Hotline!
04:18 Little Lo and Style Origins
11:49 Bullying Resilience and Empathy
22:29 Breaking Into Celebrity Styling
32:58 Style Numbers and Justice
35:16 Fear of Fame
43:27 Power and Authenticity
53:03 Fashion as Manifestation

(Episode #6) Have you ever felt like your body was keeping score of everything you never let yourself feel? This episode opens with one of the most tender conversations we've had in this container — a listener carrying kidney stones, chronic pain, and a grief she's never spoken aloud, and the gorgeous reframe that helps her stop fighting her own body.
From there, a second listener brings a question so many of us are quietly circling: how do you actually practice acceptance when life hasn't been fair, and the people who hurt you are still smirking at you in the hallway? Zoey and Brittany trade grief theory, a dose of tough love around the "what if" game, and a wild, healing take on karma, past lives, and the video game we're all playing called Earth.
In this episode:
(00:00) Welcome to The Bitching Hour!
(00:41) Kidney stones, miscarriage, and the body as messenger
(07:24) Learning to trust your body again
(25:51) A plant medicine detour and the importance of containment
(32:19) The art of acceptance after workplace bullying
(47:41) Breaking free from the "what if" game
(52:00) Karma, the soul's life review, and trusting your own timing

Are you ready to feel the weight of everything you've been carrying finally lift? August is pulling all of us into a nine month, and that means the collective is being asked to release what's no longer ours to hold. If you've been sensing an ending on the horizon, you're not imagining it.
This week, Zoey and Amelia are unpacking how July's personal numerology actually played out for each of them before turning their attention to the big one: August's collective month nine energy. Zoey shares a strong channeled download about what's coming to a close on a larger, even political scale, and the two get honest about grief, forgiveness, and what it really means to let something die so something else can begin.
They talk through mortality, aging parents, and the rituals that help us say goodbye with love instead of white-knuckled resistance. It's a tender, clarifying episode for anyone who can feel a chapter closing and isn't sure how to let it.
In this episode:
0:00 Welcome back to The Higher Self Hotline
1:09 Amelia's month one to month two shift, and the situationshit that sparked it
19:53 Building The Bitching Hour community in Zoey's personal month six
28:56 Trusting intuition over external answers in a personal month seven
36:30 What the collective month nine wants from you in August
45:05 Something is about to crumble, and Zoey channels why
52:08 Aging parents, mortality, and learning to let go with grace
