Speaker
Spiritual fitness, spiritual fitness podcast. I'm your host, Eric Bigger, and I'm back again. And listen, you talk about intuitive guide, you talk about spiritual teacher, numerologist, expert, and the host of the Higher Self Hotline podcast, Zoe Greco is in the building.
Zoe's Psychic Journey
00:00:58
Speaker
So let's get into it. i'm I'm curious about your story. I'm curious about the podcast, but I'm really curious about... your spiritual experience and within yourself, within your challenges and changes that got you to be who you are today? Being actively psychic and intuitive my entire life. Yeah. Luckily I had family that was either like oblivious to it or very supportive of it. And so my interruption of my selfhood didn't really occur inside my home. The trauma that we endure definitely misshapens us into something else.
00:01:30
Speaker
Yeah. But to be honest, I am only five feet tall. I have a huge personality, a huge energy, a huge voice. I'm a performer. And I think my entire life just feeling like everything about me was just too much. I was too emotional. I'm a crybaby. Too dramatic. I'm too extra. I'm too vulnerable. I'm just too, two too, too, too. And so I started to shape myself.
00:01:55
Speaker
into a person that I believed would be worthy of the love of the people around me or worthy of the dreams that I had in my heart. And so for actually the first nearly 10 years of my work, i I operated under a pseudonym. It was the mer-hipsi, which was like mermaid hippie gypsy, always bopping around into this like other identity. Like I was operating and like in a completely different energy behind a mask.
Embracing Authenticity and Intuition
00:02:19
Speaker
And over the last like three years, I've been in this journey in this process of unmasking from that identity and reclaiming my name in my work and reclaiming my authentic energy in my essence. And what I discovered in that experience was the power of being yourself is the greatest gift you'll ever have.
00:02:37
Speaker
And even though my work has been very much revolving around like, you know, receiving guidance from the universe, the most spiritual thing that you can ever do is be a human being. When I was reclaiming my name after operating behind this mask forever, I realized the work that I am here to do, the lives that I am here to change, the things that I am here to experience are here to be experienced by Zoe, not by the merhipsy, not by whoever i was pretending to be. But like what I am here to do can only be done when I am in the the deepest embodiment of my true self. I think our intuition is the most important thing we have
00:03:13
Speaker
on that journey because it is the voice that tells us who we really are. It's the part of us that guides us toward our truth. And so the fact that I was actively, intuitively you know gifted my entire life is really important because there was always this thing that tethered me to my truth. And once I finally surrendered to it, which I think is a really important part of the process, letting the false self die, which is a very scary thing to do, everything in my life reorganized itself into
Authenticity on Social Media
00:03:44
Speaker
alignment.
00:03:44
Speaker
And what i'm learning in a social media situation technology, AI space, the reason interest media is taking off and not social media is because people are looking for raw, authentic voices and people because we're not raw and authentic in our own lives outside of social. Everyone's faking it. Everyone's wearing a mask. Everyone's pretending. Everyone's projecting, hating, shaming, blaming, right? Pointing the finger. But when someone like you come on and say, look, people, I went through hell. In hot water, I'm back. I'm her. It doesn't matter what height, what I look like, what you think I am. You're going to feel the truth that I am, and I'm to speak it. So I wanted to share that because I think it's important for the audience to know the more we can feel safe in our nervous system to be our authentic self, the more we go higher in life. High vibe, high frequency. And then for your world, what, outside of the catalyst of change, the transformation, what got you deep into spirituality, but what really brought new morality into your life? I'm curious about that.
00:04:44
Speaker
Oh, that's such a good question. So i feel like it was just always something that instead of having to find it, it was something that needed to be nurtured and protected so that it wasn't forgotten. And it's something that I think I put to the back burner for quite some time because i just didn't really understand how it fit into everything because we live in a world where it's like astrology or nothing kind of thing when it comes to like tools of understanding. I mean, nowadays we have human design. We have all sorts of things that we didn't really have when I was young. and I feel like numerology was always present in my sphere of knowledge, but not something that i thought to pursue. But one day I bought a book. Shout out Joy Woodward. Joy Woodward is one of my favorite numerologists. I bought her book and I got through like the first three pages of the introduction and I thought,
00:05:31
Speaker
um I'd rather learn this from her directly. So I just found her on the internet and was like, hey, will you mentor me? wow And so I studied with her for three, four months. I think it's a really beautiful tool. And it's just another thing to keep
Understanding Numerology
00:05:44
Speaker
in your arsenal. I don't think there's anything outside of your own inner truth, like your own self-knowledge that you really need to attack yourself to like live by or live through. But I think as self-knowledge tools and modalities go, numerology is pretty profound and it has a lot of wisdom and explores things from a different angle than we usually hear. As the numerologist having an information, doing that immersive training for three to four months, what did you discover in numerology that worked best for people where it connects deeply in their soul?
00:06:16
Speaker
So when I look at people's numerology, there's four different numbers that I really like to explore. And I think other numerologists would suggest that there's different areas as well that are maybe even more important. yeah But I like to look at your life path number. Like what is the path that your soul is here to walk in this lifetime? Yeah. I like to look at your birthday number, which if you're thinking about walking that path, what are the tools in your tool belt? What are the innate gifts and skills and traits that you possess that you get to use to support you on that path and on that journey?
00:06:48
Speaker
And then i also like to explore your attitude number, which is the way that you're first perceived. How do people experience you? And it's also the number of how you approach life. So it's like how you do one thing is how you do everything. So it's something important to know.
00:07:03
Speaker
And then lastly, i like to look at your personal year. We move in nine year cycles in numerology. And so within those nine year cycles, what position in that cycle are you in? What is the lesson of the year? What is the theme? And each of these numbers, as with all things energetically, has a shadow aspect and a light aspect. So it's important to ask ourselves, you know, how am I experiencing the shadow of this number or how is the shadow of this number standing in my way? And how can I bring myself into alignment with the light qualities of this number? And to understand that there is a gift in both. There is a gift in the shadow as, you know, as we know, and there is a gift in the light and there's beauty to find in each of those things.
Recognizing and Embracing Personal Power
00:07:43
Speaker
So let's do a session.
00:07:46
Speaker
I'm coming to you. These are my numbers. Give the audience and give me feedback. So I'm a Life Path 11. I'm born March 9th, nine. okay My attitude number is three. My personal year number is four.
00:07:58
Speaker
life path 11 you're a master number we only have 11 22 and 33 as master numbers and 11 is the leader like you truly are here as a visionary to pave a path and pave a way forward for the world nine is the number of spiritual wisdom um it is also the number of completions you are here as a humanitarian and so when we talk about when i said you know the most spiritual thing you can do is be him be a human being that really struck a chord in you because you are here for humanity Attitude number three, no wonder you found your way to Hollywood. I'm sure your entire life everyone was like, you're a star, you're a star, you've got this great personality. like You're magnetic, your magnetism is profound. Three is also the number of communication. like It's the throat, it's you know being a channel, and you certainly are a channel. like Absolutely, everything you say is coming from, it's almost like you have this open crown chakra that is just like pouring through. yeah When people see me, they see the perfection, the superhero, the leader, right? But and for years, i didn't I didn't tap into that power, right? I didn't tap in. I was running from it because I was afraid of my shadow.
00:09:06
Speaker
You know, you're aware of the shadow and you were afraid of the shadow, which is why you didn't want to hold the power, which is why most people don't want to hold their power because they're afraid of their shadow. They feel like they feel like they can't trust themselves to hold their power.
00:09:18
Speaker
i actually, one of my clients recently was, she came to me with this huge breakthrough that felt like she was so afraid to say it. And I was like, baby, I've heard this a million times. Like, this is not new. But she was like, I'm afraid that I'm a bad person.
00:09:32
Speaker
And I was like, first of all, bad people don't worry about whether or not they're bad people. Second of all, that's why you don't want to hold your power because you think, what if I'm not a good person and I finally hold all this power and I use it in the wrong way? yeah What if I do that? And I feel like you came to this realization that you just shared where you said, you know what? Fuck that. There's no way I'm going to misuse my power. I'm a pure soul. I'm a pure heart. I'm a good Right. I can trust myself to hold my power and I can trust myself to use it kindly and use it wisely. And, you know, you can make someone like I've learned as a mentor, right? Like you're going to trigger your clients. They're going to trigger each other. You're going to there. You're going to trigger them. And there's nothing wrong with that, because when we let something come to the surface, that's when we get to deal with it. That's when we get to take care of it. So for you to say,
00:10:19
Speaker
whoa, i have a shadow. And hold on a second. When I meet my shadow, it's just all the parts of me that other people were afraid would overtake them. Like I put my my power in the shadow because other people said, that's a lot of power.
00:10:32
Speaker
And you were like, yeah, and? It's not going to hurt you. i told this i sold a story like this once in one of my newsletters where I i equated my power to a dragon. and everyone was always like, i don't want you to lose your temper. I don't want you to freak out. i don't And I was like...
00:10:46
Speaker
Yo, just because I can blow fire doesn't mean I'm going to. Just because I'm powerful doesn't mean I'm going to. Like, just because you're afraid of my power doesn't mean that you need to be. And and and so for years and years and years, I put it away and put it away and put it away. And I locked it in a cage. And I told myself, I'm bad for having emotion. I'm bad for feeling big feelings. I'm bad for being strong and powerful. I'm bad for that.
00:11:11
Speaker
And it wasn't until I looked at my dragon and said, oh my God, you're just a magical creature in a cage. Like, who yeah. Yes. i Release the beast. Release the beast. That I was like, oh, I can do anything. And now I'm riding on the back of that bitch. I'm riding that
Connecting with the Shadow Self
00:11:26
Speaker
bitch all the way out. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. And so what I'm seeing in you is someone who already knew, realized Yo, using my power and giving it away to Hollywood and trying to like access people in this specific like channel is not gonna work for me. I'm too locked up in my throat. I can't actually say what I wanna say. I can't be who I wanna be. So you said, let me make my own way. And now you're riding on pure magnetism and- your charisma, and once you get people into that that sphere, you're like, cool, now that I've got your attention, let's change the world. You're so tuned and tapped in, and that's why I wanted people to experience this part of you, because this part of you is authentic. cause This is why you guys should follow her,
00:12:05
Speaker
get her products and be in her energy because she just attuned in something in me to make me feel like, oh, that's what it was. I was afraid of my power in the shadow. And the more I own my shadow, the more powerful I became. And now I'm not ashamed to hold my power when you do something wrong.
00:12:23
Speaker
Right. That's an example of using my intuition. Right. Yes. I don't know you like we are strangers, but I can feel your energy. And my psychic gift is clear sentience. So I feel it in my body. I feel the emotions. And so when you spoke, I was like, I got wrapped in the emotion of that and realized what it was and then reflected it back to you. And you're like, I didn't even know that's what it was. yeah And so that's the gift of intuition is like, for me, i choose to use my intuition as a mirror so that I can help people see and metabolize truth about themselves so that they can then act in a more empowered way. And the language, and I think this is what I try to, I'm really good at extracting power out of people and putting it back in their face, right? So your language, your diction, your word choice, how you said about, I was afraid of the shadow of my power. So we know most people are afraid of themselves and afraid to be themselves. What is like,
00:13:15
Speaker
a technique, a formula, or a through a few words or phrases that people can use to anchor them to feel safer in that part of themselves. You said something about the shadow and power. What is something you can give people to move into their shadow with comfort and ease, like I said, and feel safe to get to the other side of themselves, to live a higher life, right? Yeah. And be liberated and free.
00:13:40
Speaker
The biggest thing that I encourage people to do is actually spend time with the parts of themselves that they're so fearful of. We hear this all the time is like journal, journal, journal. Why do you think every amazing, successful human being talks about journaling? Because it actually changes your fucking life. So you've got to journal. So when I journal in the mornings, I follow the method taught in the artist's way. So but in the artist's way, the author, Julia Cameron, who is fucking phenomenal, She teaches that you should write three pages every morning.
00:14:11
Speaker
And we do three pages because it takes us like a page to a page and a half to get through all the like dumb bullshit of like yesterday i had oatmeal for breakfast. And then I'm talking to myself as my higher self. yeah I'm taught. And then I'll say, you know, I'll talk to my anger. I'll talk to my power. I'll talk to my whatever it is, my sadness, whatever it is that needs my attention, whatever thing in the shadow you're you're discovering. And you can even just write to your shadow. Just call it shadow if you don't know what's in there yet.
00:14:36
Speaker
But start having a dialogue and let it just come through. Don't overthink it. You're not writing a story. No one's going to ever read your diary. You're not Anne Frank. OK, like we're not going to like publish, like publicize it for the whole world. Like this is just for you. You don't even have to ever read it again yourself if you don't want to. If you're like, that's embarrassing, fine. But you got to say it once. You got to be there with yourself once. So the practice of journaling and writing to your power and from your power, writing to your shadow and from your shadow. What does your shadow have to say to you? Not just what do you want to say to it? You need to listen.
00:15:10
Speaker
You need to listen to the parts of you that are, that have been silenced, that have been suppressed, that have been relegated and secluded
The Role of Mentorship in Growth
00:15:18
Speaker
and sequestered. Like you need to listen to them and they will tell you everything you need to know. My shadow was all the pieces of me that, you know, people had just hurt my feelings. And so I, I hit, I'm going to cry talking about it. It was just the parts of me that, that needed to to hide away because they were too sensitive and too soft. And when I brought her back out,
00:15:37
Speaker
She's the baddest bitch and I love her so much. And she has the like all the room in the world now to love herself. But I didn't get there until I was willing to talk to her to find out who she was. So that's my thing is the the greatest thing you could do, just talk to that part of yourself.
00:15:51
Speaker
They're waiting for you. i have a mentor that I work with because I think every mentor needs a mentor. Like if you're holding space for someone, someone's got to be holding space for you. So I have a whole team. I got a therapist. I got a a mentor who's a Buddhist meditation teacher. wow I'm all up. I'm all over this stuff. ah And so i feel like because I have my spaces to go and like feel and process and do my work, it really makes me the cleanest mirror I can be for my people in my container. so Over at ZGHQ, we do a couple things. I have a quiz, a free quiz that you can take where i share your um your main primary intuitive type so that you know like how does my intuition operate. Of the four languages, what language am I fluent in that I don't even know that I've been like giving this power away, not using this superpower that I have. In order to do that, you got to know the superpower. So my quiz helps you know your superpower. It's on your website or your Instagram? Yep, it's on zoegreco.com. Got it.
00:16:43
Speaker
ah which you can also access through my website and it's like the first thing you'll see is take the free quiz and then i have some tools that are self-paced tools for helping you become more like immersive in your intuitive activation so I have this thing called the portal where you walk through the portal for a 30-day journey to activate your intuition with subliminal reprogramming meditation journaling prompts and And that's $44. It's a really low offer. These things that we talk about, people, it's not just to be like taboo, like I don't believe in that. Well, you should believe in it because it's going to change your life because damn sure will change dials. And Zoe, you need to go to her website, take the quiz, get in a 30-day trial of the portal and listen to her podcast. And can you talk about the, was it nine months or nine weeks? Yeah, the nine-month container. Yeah. And it goes perfectly with what you're talking about because what you're saying is basically we attract like energy so we can co-regulate yeah and strengthen our vibration. Like being around you makes me feel more myself.
00:17:42
Speaker
That's how I know i'm in the right place. Like our magnetisms, right? Our vibrations brought us together. Which truly, that just truly happened. And then we're co-regulating off of one another. So that's the importance of being in spaces with people whose energy you want to be around. Like my students get 24-7 access to me. They can talk to me whenever they want. Because if they sometimes they don't even have anything to say. They just need to be in the field. yeah They need to be in around the energy of someone who is delusional, who believes in them, who sees what's possible. miserable
00:18:14
Speaker
who supports them, who isn't a product of their conditioning and is actually like a a complete opposite to the conditioning that they experience. Like, you know, I have people who are scared to leave their businesses because they're worried their sister is going to be mad at them. They're worried that, you know, and it's like I'm the the voice that says it's OK if someone's mad at you.
00:18:32
Speaker
Right. It's going to survive, you know? people Get used to disappointing people in your nervous system. Yes. d Exactly. Your brother, your father, your sister, your manager, agent. Yeah, because that's what i had do. Exactly. And i was like, oh, you don't really like me.
00:18:44
Speaker
oh I made a mistake. I disappointed you. Oh, you're really not on my team. You only like it.
Resources and Transformative Work
00:18:49
Speaker
It's positive. So it's it's so good. By the way, do you have a book out? Are you writing a book? I feel like there's so many books that need to come out of you.
00:18:57
Speaker
You know what's funny? I'm not at the moment, but you must be tapped into something because I've gotten the assignment. So I'm going to listen to you and write my book. I can feel your words. When you say your words, there's a transmission come through that lands in my body and I'm like, whoop.
00:19:13
Speaker
It's kind of like healing in this instant. It's like, damn. And that's why people need to be, and I feel like God has made me to be a man that's continued to work and evolve into my healthy masculine for women to feel safe. But I attract women who need to be seen, not for what they do or what they look like because of who they are. i want to acknowledge you for your gift of discernment and understanding and psychic abilities, because you pulled out a lot in this interview and I'm like, ah.
00:19:40
Speaker
That's what it is. This this this is what it's about. Because I'm aware of sometimes when you're on a spiritual journey and it's just you and you, when you don't have evidence or when you don't see as much or hear as much or feel as much, you might think you're doing something wrong or it's not enough or you're not going as far or going as deep. But God always put people on your journey to remind you to keep doing the work and keep leading the mission. because it's greater than you and it's greater greatness in you that got to come out of you so the world is served, solved, and evolved." So people just just really, really, really, really sit with this because I'm sitting with it and I'm speaking in it.
00:20:21
Speaker
This energy that is cultivated and created in this container of spiritual fitness of what Zoe offers to the world is something that's going to change your life because life and light, look at that. Yeah. ah I feel like, no, I don't feel, I know when they say truth, consciousness is back. What that means is that people are going to start to find God in and in different venues. Success is getting what you want. Fulfillment is doing what you made for. So never count yourself out. Count yourself in Re-listen to this. Share this episode. zoia's phenomena Zoe phenomenal.
