About this listen

Healing ain’t soft. Hustling ain’t toxic. Welcome to the podcast where we normalize doing both—loudly, proudly, and for the culture.


Hosted by Blessed Jess, a licensed therapist from Virginia with a heart for community healing, and Styles, a Brooklyn-born entrepreneur who’s flipped side hustles into a lifestyle—Hustle and Heal speaks directly to the inner city experience. This is where therapy meets ambition, and emotional growth links up with financial freedom.


Every episode unpacks real-life struggles around mental health, trauma, money, mindset, family dynamics, and hustle culture. From dealing with unhealed habits to building side income and breaking generational cycles—this is self-improvement for the people who grew up with limited options but unlimited potential.


Whether you’re grinding in NYC, growing through it in Chicago, or just navigating life from the inside out—this show is for you. Expect raw conversations, practical gems, and real talk that meets you where you are and pushes you forward.


New episodes drop biweekly. Follow now and be part of the movement. Because healing and hustling go hand-in-hand—Every. Damn. Day.

    Success in life and business often hinges on the people we surround ourselves with, including romantic partners and business collaborators. Finding alignment in values, goals, and work ethic creates powerful partnerships that elevate everyone involved.

    • The right partnerships can propel you forward while wrong ones can hold you back
    • Trust your intuition when evaluating potential partners - your gut feeling serves as a personal security system
    • Communication is the foundation for successful partnerships - learn to say difficult things and hear difficult feedback
    • Creative individuals often work best with other creatives who understand their process and passion
    • Start with small projects before fully committing to business partnerships
    • Recognize red flags like lack of accountability, financial secrecy, and poor communication
    • Know when to walk away from partnerships that no longer serve your growth
    • Communicate expectations early to minimize misunderstandings later
    • Consider using assessment tools like MBTI and DISC to better understand work styles
    • Resources like The Five Love Languages and Crucial Conversations can improve relationship dynamics

    This week's listener challenge: Reflect on your current partnerships (romantic, business, and friendships) and evaluate how they align with your values and goals. Share your thoughts using #HustleAndHealPartners on social media.

  • Feet, Money, and Dating Apps: The Untold Hustle
    May 11 2025

    Text Us a Gem or Vent

    We've returned with an addendum episode to address what was missing from our previous conversation about online dating – the hustle side of the equation. When most people think of dating apps, they imagine romantic connections, awkward first dates, and the search for meaningful relationships. But there's a parallel economy thriving in these digital spaces that few discuss openly.

    From enterprising massage therapists advertising their legitimate services to credit repair specialists looking for clients, dating platforms have become unexpected marketing channels for entrepreneurs. Users are openly stating "not here for dating" in bold letters, transparently using these spaces to grow their businesses and find customers rather than romantic partners.

    Our conversation takes a particularly revealing turn when we explore the foot fetish economy flourishing on these platforms. We candidly break down how this niche market operates – from the pricing structure ($6-10 per picture or video) to the potential monthly earnings (up to $5,000) for minimal time investment. This prompts an honest discussion about the ethical considerations, spiritual implications, and personal boundaries involved in this type of content creation.

    The episode highlights the fundamental difference between the hustler and healer perspectives that define our podcast. While one host sees the entrepreneurial opportunity and potential financial freedom, the other considers the energetic exchange and spiritual implications. It's this tension that creates a nuanced conversation about modern hustle culture, digital boundaries, and how people are adapting to economic realities in creative ways.
