Living Tarot

In Episode 70 of Living Tarot, I wrap up season two of Living Tarot looking at how you can get the most from reading tarot spreads. While spreads aren't for everyone, they are a great way to expand from single cards readings and start to go deeper on topics that you need more robust information about.   I walk through a simple three-card spread including where to start and how to see the story in the spread.   I explain how to zoom out and look at the larger themes of the spread to get even more information.   I give examples of common misconceptions about spreads and how to know if one might be beneficial for you.   It's been a pleasure to host another season of Living Tarot and I am so looking forward to coming back for season three soon. If you want to keep up with me in the meantime, make sure to sign up for my email list below to get special new and full moon emails and find out when season three goes live.

In episode 68 of Living Tarot, I talk about the connection between intuition and self-love.

On Episode 50, I wrap up season one of Living Tarot with some of the biggest things I’ve learned from reading tarot for myself and clients over the last few years. I really struggled with how to wrap up something that has been such a passion project for me but this felt the most natural. I discuss how to cultivate intuition in little ways over time and the fact that it’s normal to struggle to trust yourself. I speak to the fact that tarot is a tool that can easily help you build that intuitive muscle over time. I got into details on reading for romantic relationships and what to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed or emotional and having a hard time getting a clear reading. Ultimately developing intuition is really about learning to have faith in yourself and building it slowly over time. Finally, I discuss some of my favorite guest episodes of the season. I’m extremely excited to come back for season two at some point in Leo season.

On episode 35 of Living Tarot, I interview my friend Maureen Rozanski ( @thepeacefullyproductive ) .  Maureen is a unique mix of lawyer mind and life coach heart. After nearly 10 years of ignoring her intuition and practicing law, she pivoted into more meaningful, heart-centered work and founded The Peacefully Productive, a coaching practice specializing in supporting disconnected professionals to reclaim motivation, unearth clarity and gain a sense of peacefulness in all they do and all they are.    While her intuition has scared the crap out of her and made her question her own sanity, she believes it to now be a powerful, healing tool for herself and others. Developing her intuitive abilities has allowed Maureen to become an impactful coach, a more mindful friend and partner, and, in her opinion, a way less controlling and anxious human being.    She believes her intuition is meant to be used to lift others up, create meaningful connections and to figure out how to live life most authentically - even when that means living in ambiguity or discomfort.  We speak about the importance of using intuition in whatever work you're doing. We discuss how Maureen's background as a lawyer led her to ultimately burnout and learn to pay attention to the cues that she was getting from her body and her energy. We discuss how Maureen's coaching practice has evolved to help in clients define what productivity is for them. We talk all about what it means to redefine productivity for yourself away from the paradigms that the rest of the world creates. Maureen talks about how she uses both her practical experience and her intuition in client sessions. She also discusses her experience of developing intuition and vacillating between trusting it and struggling to believe what she was experiencing. So much of Maureen's journey echoes my own and that of many other intuitives who are growing their skills and learning to trust the sometimes crazy insights they gain. I hope this episode will serve to calm the worries of anyone going through their own spiritual awakening And also to challenge the ideas that we all have about what it means to be productive, how to redefine productivity, and how to empower yourself with your intuition.   More Show Notes and Transcript Connect with Sheila: To get your Career Ahead Tarot Guide click here - https://starsagespirit.ck.page/products/diyyear-ahead-tarot-guide To book a career tarot reading or distance energy healing session with Sheila click here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18090641 To read more about Sheila’s offerings click here - http://www.starsagespirit.com/services/ Or on Instagram www.instagram.com/starsagespirit Connect with Maureen: Find Maureen online at https://thepeacefullyproductive.com/ Or on Instagram at www.instagram.com/thepeacefullyproductive

On episode 32 of Living Tarot, I speak about how to work with your personal tarot cards of the year. Your tarot cards of the year combined with the general tarot card of the year for the collective can give you a ton of insight into what kind of energy you'll be working with this year. I discuss how to calculate your own tarot card or cards of the year. Using my own personal tarot cards of the year I give an example of how I expect to approach the energy of the year. I talk about my card of the year for last year and how I worked with it within the collective tarot card of the year. When you can connect to your tarot card of the year it can help you not only gain insight but allow you to offer yourself compassion and moments where you feel frustrated and overwhelmed.   In this episode I refer to a blog post I wrote last year about how to calculate and find your own personal tarot card of the year. https://www.starsagespirit.com/2020/01/20/how-to-calculate-your-card-of-the-year/   More Show Notes and Transcript   Connect with Sheila: To get your Career Ahead Tarot Guide click here - https://starsagespirit.ck.page/products/diyyear-ahead-tarot-guide To book a career tarot reading or distance energy healing session with Sheila click here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18090641 To read more about Sheila’s offerings click here - http://www.starsagespirit.com/services/ Or on Instagram www.instagram.com/starsagespirit In this episode I also refer to episode 30 - Working with the Hierophant in 2021

On episode 31 of Living Tarot, I speak with Dr. Christa Whiteman. Professionally, Dr. Christa Whiteman is a chiropractor, kinesiologist, and clinical herbalist working in her own clinical practice to support her patient's goals to live healthier and pain-free lives.  Outside of the office, she is a creature of the forests, fields, and marshes, endeavoring to deepen her connection to Nature and seek the wisdom of the Earth through hunting, foraging and practicing ancestral skills as devotion and ritual.    We have a great conversation about Christa's introduction to herbalism Christa speaks about the energetics of herbs and how that comes into play as very personal remedies for clients in her clinical practice  She also speaks about her relationship with intuition and how she uses it not only in her practice but also in her personal life. We talk about how one of the main focuses of Christa's herbalism practice is to make medicine practical to the patient. We also discuss how most of the information found online about herbalism is just a laundry list of what certain herbs are good for rather than explaining the correct potency or having a specific understanding of their indications - a problem Christa solves in her Practical and Potent Herbalism Guild.

What does it mean to be in a hierophant year? What does it mean to embody hierophant energy? In this episode of Living Tarot I speak all about what it means to really embody the energy of the card of the year. The hierophant year is the opportunity for us to integrate the wisdom we've learned from the outside world with our own personal belief system. It requires us to be discerning about the places where we spend our money, time and energy and to pay close attention to what type of teachings we take as gospel. Coming on the heels of an emperor year that has highlighted some issues with the sustainability of systems of oppression that are no longer working for the collective, the hierophant year of 2021 is really asking us to challenge the status quo.  It is a year for trusting lessons that we have learned in connecting with our own intuition and realizing that we are our own best teacher.   Ultimately we all contain multitudes of wisdom yet we tend to search outside of ourselves for validation and understanding of that wisdom. This hierophant year Is an opportunity to learn from ourselves and to trust that and moments of great turmoil and transition that we need to have that connection to our own wisdom.   More Show Notes and Transcript   Connect with Sheila: To get your Career Ahead Tarot Guide click here - https://starsagespirit.ck.page/products/diyyear-ahead-tarot-guide To book a career tarot reading or distance energy healing session with Sheila click here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18090641 To read more about Sheila’s offerings click here - http://www.starsagespirit.com/services/ Or on Instagram www.instagram.com/starsagespirit Related Episodes: Episode 21 featuring Eliza Swann : https://www.starsagespirit.com/2020/11/18/anatomy-of-the-aura-setting-intuitive-boundaries-embodying-the-hierophant/

On episode 29, I speak with Angie Flynn-McIver ( @ignitecsp ).  Angie Flynn-McIver is a leadership coach via a long career as a theatre director. Angie likes to describe her work in both areas as being a "detective of human behavior." Now as the leader of her own coaching company, Ignite CSP, Angie relies on her experience and intuition to make decisions about business, growth, personnel, and even how to select the ideal client. Her book, "Before You Say Anything," is coming out in spring of 2021. Angie and I discuss the importance of authentic communication. Communication is so much more than just what you're saying, it's how you say it, when you say it, and what information you deliver along with it. Angie uses her own brand of intuitive gifts to guide clients both one-on-one and in small group work, towards the most effective way to communicate presentations, ideas, or products.   Angie talks about how intuition shows up in her communication coaching work. Angie explains what it means to be a detective of human behavior and how it helps her investigate and empower the underlying motivations of her clients. We discuss how Angie's backgrounds in theater led her to a greater understanding of the importance of effective communication and how it shows up in all areas of life. Angie shares some of the ways that intuition has guided her as an entrepreneur and helped her to bring her knowledge and coaching to a broader audience with amazing results. We also talk about the pitfalls of ignoring intuition in business and building wisdom through that experience. Finally I explain how Angie is an embodiment of the chariot card and the page of swords. Communication affects every area of our lives and can greatly improve our interpersonal relationships and our career prospects.    More Show Notes and Transcript   Connect with Sheila: To get your Career Ahead Tarot Guide click here - https://starsagespirit.ck.page/products/diyyear-ahead-tarot-guide To book a career tarot reading or distance energy healing session with Sheila click here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18090641 To read more about Sheila’s offerings click here - http://www.starsagespirit.com/services/ Or on Instagram www.instagram.com/starsagespirit Connect with Angie: Find Angie online at www.ignitecsp.com Or on Instagram at www.instagram.com/ignitecsp

It's no secret that running a business is hard. But running a business during a global pandemic, a social justice uprising, and an election year is damn near impossible. In this episode I discuss My experience and some of the biggest learnings from working through 2020 as an entrepreneur.  I talk about managing burnout and chronic health issues. I also share some larger takeaways about the importance of focusing on the work that you love and focusing your work in general. It's never been more important to be strategic and intentional with the work that you're doing and the more focused you can be, the better outcome you're going to have.   I discuss how even as an intuitive person it can be hard to listen to intuition and to trust that the things that I want to do in my business will be the things that serve me best. I talk all about how I shifted my business to be more focused on business and career tarot reading and energy healing. I also speak to some of the fear that I had about letting go of long-term offerings and services that were popular but did not suit me this year. I learned how to truly lean on my tarot and energy work practice as tools to keep me healthy and sane through the year. I also discussed the importance of community and having an effective support system. You don't want to wait until you're in a crisis to find people that can help you stay grounded and healthy. Ultimately I'm a human before I am a business owner and taking care of my human needs has never been more important than it has been in this past year. I discuss some of the ways that I learned to take better care of myself and how you can too. I hope this episode will serve as validation for your own feelings managing through this year and give you some insight into how to prioritize your own needs. self-care is a popular buzzword but it's also an integral part of being a human being. You have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of other people and your ability to do that affects how you show up for the people you love.

This is a very vulnerable episode where we discuss the importance of recognizing power dynamics in healing work and the responsibility that we have to call people in for equity and accountability.  Healing work extends beyond just the session to session work and expands out into other areas of our lives and as healing arts facilitators we have a responsibility to do bring that healing into our communities through our activism.

On episode 26 of Living Tarot, I talk about my experience working as a medium and sitting with people as they are moving through grief. There are so many types of grief that we have all experienced this year, and it isn’t all related to death or loss of a loved one. I explain the societal pressure of moving on and how it can invalidate feelings that people experience as they're grieving. Grief is a spiral rather than a straight line, but our society often thinks of it in terms of making progress, and I talk the dissonance between that idea and how people feel. I talk about common phrases and expressions that I hear from people who are dealing with grief. I also discussed the ways in which we package our grief so that it's socially acceptable and appropriate for other people. Finally, I talk about how embodying the five of cups can help us sit with the discomfort of grief without allowing it to consume us. In this episode I also refer to episode 23 of Living Tarot with Nora Belal - in this episode we talk all about her work as a death midwife and navigating grief.  You can listen here.   https://www.starsagespirit.com/2020/12/02/death-midwifery-and-embodying-page-of-cups-page-of-pentacles-with-nora-belal/ Connect with Sheila: To get your Career Ahead Tarot Guide click here - https://starsagespirit.ck.page/products/diyyear-ahead-tarot-guide To book a career tarot reading or distance Reiki session with Sheila click here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18090641 To read more about Sheila’s offerings click here - http://www.starsagespirit.com/services/ Or on Instagram www.instagram.com/starsagespirit

On episode 25 of Living Tarot, I interview Summer Burnley. Summer is a business strategist, attorney, and owner of Burnley Law PLLC, a virtual boutique law firm specializing in business and trademark law. Her law firm is a progressive law practice that has abandoned the traditional ways of doing law. She has purposely chosen to forego a brick and mortar, she has ditched the billable hour, and has said bye-bye to the ultra-conservative legal uniform. She is humbled to be part of the elite group of less than 1.7% of black attorneys who practice Intellectual Property law. Her background is in managing and strategizing high-end multi 6 & 7 figure businesses for growth. This expertise and skillset lend her to be a vital and integral member of her client’s businesses. Whether it be legally or operationally, Summer enjoys making sure her clients have a foundationally sound business that is set up to scale. Summer is on a mission to see more women of color entrepreneurs boldly protecting and owning their brands so that they can operate businesses that bring them more freedom. Summer shares her unique story of knowing what she wanted to be when she grew up since the time she was in 7th grade. We discuss How intuition speaks to summer through her work and how important intuition is for lawyers We discuss the importance of believing in your vision for your business over anybody else's and how to know the difference Summer also talks about a time when she ignored her intuition and what she learned from that experience Summer explains how she has sustained a connection to her intuition and used it as an inner guidance system in her career to sustain her motivation and push her out of her comfort zone. We share some of the similarities between our two businesses and how often clients come in looking for an answer but are really handed more questions to ponder for themselves. Summer is an excellent example of somebody who uses intuition to guide every move she makes in her business and how that has led her to being a success both professionally.   More Show Notes and Transcript   Connect with Sheila: To get your Career Ahead Tarot Guide click here - https://starsagespirit.ck.page/products/diyyear-ahead-tarot-guide To book a career tarot reading or distance energy healing session with Sheila click here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18090641 To read more about Sheila’s offerings click here - http://www.starsagespirit.com/services/ Or on Instagram www.instagram.com/starsagespirit Connect with Summer: You can find Summer online at https://www.burnleylaw.com/ You can get Summers complimentary Launch Your Business and Secure Your Brand Like a Boss Webinar here: https://burnleylaw.ck.page/603e8c4648 And you can keep up with her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/burnleylaw/

On episode 24 of Living Tarot, I talk about how to plan your year with the tarot. Tarot is an excellent tool for planning out your energy for the year and how to resource yourself for and challenges that might come your way. I speak to some common misconceptions about what you can do with a year ahead tarot spread. I break down the fool card and why it is an excellent card to embody moving into a new year. I discussed the many areas of life that a year ahead tarot spread can help with. New Year's Resolutions can be helpful but planning with the Tarot can be so much more intentional and powerful and personal. There is so much planning that we do around the new year but often our energy and spiritual lives are neglected.  Connect with Sheila: To get your Career Ahead Tarot Guide click here - https://starsagespirit.ck.page/products/diyyear-ahead-tarot-guide To book a career tarot reading or distance Reiki session with Sheila click here - https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18090641 To read more about Sheila’s offerings click here - http://www.starsagespirit.com/services/ Or on Instagram www.instagram.com/starsagespirit For full episode show notes and transcript click here. https://www.starsagespirit.com/livingtarot/

On this episode 23 of Living Tarot, I speak with Death Doula and Midwife, Nora Belal. As a teacher, writer, and guide Nora is dedicated to helping people make plans for end of life, engage with their mortality, and explore what that means on a practical and philosophical level. Nora’s deathwork encourages critical thinking, analysis, and action so we can shift the paradigm of grief, impermanence, and uncertainty in a constantly changing world.  Nora discusses a lot of the misconceptions that people have about the work of a death doula and death midwife.  We discuss the complexities of grief especially in a year like 2020 with massive death due to the coronavirus pandemic.  Nora explains her philosophy of being a life coach, just through the lens of death.  We discuss how people have a tendency to limit and compartmentalize their grief because of the way that it's handled in society.  We also talk about strategies for having conversations with loved ones about such a serious and heavy topic.  2020 has been a really challenging year for a lot of people And for anybody who is dealing with the loss of a loved one around the holiday season, this is a great episode to find validation and support for your grief.
