Guidance for Movement

After a brief break, we are back with a really vulnerable episode. Parent-child love, partner love, friend love... it's all messy sometimes. How can we provide unconditional love to our children? What does it look like when the child reciprocates it back to the unconditionally loving parent? In this episode, we get into some of our story. We hope you can learn something. Thanks for listening!

As always, we meander through our topic... careers! We talk about how we've walked similar paths rooted in experience versus degree paths. We come to the place of acknowledging that there are many different paths that lead to the same place, so long as you follow your gut feelings, intuition and heart. Whenever you're building something from the ground up there will be peaks and valleys... it's all a part of the journey. You can find Meredith on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tarotwithtux/?hl=en or email us at guidanceformovement@gmail.com. Take some action this week. We have to be the change we want to see in the world, right? Is there a missing piece in your community?

(edit: I definitely say Susan Coleman Smith instead of Pamela Coleman Smith - PAMELA is the artist of the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck)... In this episode, I give a very general overview of all things tarot, astrology and meditation. We mention how the universe can show you signs if you're open to it. If you listen to the end you get to hear Brian realize he already has his own form of meditation. Side note: our show is not one based on current events so we don't mention the newsworthy current state of the world. As always, we both want everyone to err on the side of being a good human. Do things that resonate with your soul. I am going to link my Instagram where you can find important links to donate or educate yourself in my bio - https://www.instagram.com/tarotwithtux/. I am also offering readings with a special emphasis on today's current events (info on Instagram). You can email us at guidanceformovement@gmail.com. Until next time... keep an open mind and an open heart. Listen to someone talk about their life experiences. I guarantee you'll learn something. • Kitchen Table Tarot by Melissa Cynova is one of the books I recommend to all people wanting to start to learn tarot. There are so many incredible options out there... Find what resonates for you. Don't feel like you have to start with the Rider Waite Smith deck if you don't like the imagery. It is all white and incredibly gendered. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram to talk about other options - there are so many decks and it's incredible. I also have my own Podcast where I talk to my magical friends... Mer's Net. Check it out. If ya want. Much love!

This is our first episode we were able to record in person! We decided to record outside and hope you enjoy the sounds of nature behind us. We talk about the differences in generations and try not to make any harsh judgments, especially since none of us asked for the technology that may be (read: absolutely is) actively changing what it means to be human. We hope you enjoy! Please remember that if you leave a review for us on Apple Podcasts or your podcast app, you can send us a screenshot to guidanceformovement@gmail.com and Meredith would be glad to give you a tarot reading in exchange for your review. Otherwise, feel free to email us topic suggestions or connect with Meredith on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tarotwithtux/. See y'all next week!

This week we talk about a family legacy... 6,000 babies?! Despite the memories and specific achievements of Brian's grandpa, we settle in on what it all boils down to: inclusive service to others, family and love. That's something I think we can all strive for.

What will your legacy be? We talk about the idea that the memories of the people that knew you are just as valid as the more traditional view of a legacy. While they can be donating millions of dollars to charity, legacies are also donating what you have and being what your friends and family need. You can email us at gudianceformovement@gmail.com and can reach Meredith on Instagram @tarotwithtux or email at tarotwithtux@gmail.com. As always, thank you for listening! We'll be back next week with examples of our family's legacies.

To grieve we must first have loved... and that's something to celebrate. This is one of those topics that is hard to cover in one episode...but we tried. Brian mentions a book that really helped him to shift his perspective on death and taught him how to work with the only option available sometimes, Option B: https://optionb.org/book. Meredith talks about the late Ram Dass. You can find more information about his life, legacy and teachings on the podcast Ram Dass: Here and Now or at https://www.ramdass.org/bio/. We'll be back next week with a lighter topic. Until next time, you can find me on Instagram @tarotwithtux or via email with your feedback, topic suggestions or the screenshot of your review at guidanceformovement@gmail.com. Thank you for listening!

In our first official episode, we do what we do best: meander through different ways of exploring the same thread. We mostly talk about the end of duality, which is the need for things to be only "good" or only "bad". How can we hold space and validate the complex feelings that we must navigate as humans? We use Brian's health scare as a frame of reference for this idea.

Guidance for Movement is a passion project by a father daughter team. My name is Meredith and I recorded this quick intro to give you some background information about us and our intention for this podcast. Brian will join us on the first official episode. I will note that the music in the background was specifically for the intro and will not be on every episode. Until next time, you can find me on Instagram @tarotwithtux or via email with your feedback, topic suggestions or the screenshot of your review at guidanceformovement@gmail.com. Thank you for listening!
