263: December 2025 intuitive reading for the month ahead: What would it feel like to welcome in ease, joy and authenticity? Dec 01, 2025

Show notes

This month’s intuitive reading is an invitation into ease, joy, pleasure, and feminine healing. December carries a soft but powerful energy, one that asks you to stop gripping so tightly and let yourself be supported and have some dang fun. We explore what becomes possible when you stop pushing, stop proving, and start receiving. What if your life got to be easier than you’ve ever allowed? This reading also brings through themes of courage, boldness, and authenticity. As the year closes, you’re being asked to show up as who you really are—not the polished version, not the “safe” version, but the truest, most aligned expression of you. And finally, a message from Eagle arrives with clarity, vision, and higher perspective. Eagle reminds you to rise above the noise, reconnect with your spiritual eyesight, and trust the path unfolding beneath you—even if it doesn’t look linear.

Reflection prompts for December:

What do you want your inner child to know about how wonderful and magical they are? What do you wish for them in 2026?'
If December got to be easy, what would that look like? Write out as if the month unfolded and everything was easeful and joyful

A message for you from compassion Jul 06, 2025

Show notes

Hey Soothers! This is audio from my group call today inside the Imperfect Artist's Way. It was a message about capability, power, compassion, struggles with shame and the highly sensitive person's nervous system. Something in me told me more folks needed to hear it, so I share this audio with you today. It includes a Tarot reading, a bit of a lecture, a nervous system exercise, journaling and a meditation.

Come on a rambling life update with me! Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

Hey Soothers! Glad to be here. I've got as an episode for you today, more of a casual voice note, walking through the woods, as I share what's been going on behind the scenes in my life lately.

I'm talking about the (sometimes painful) process of growing into a new voice and stepping into a bigger version of myself, and all the discomfort and doubt that brings up. I get into how my sense of identity is shifting (is it ever not?? sheesh), how I'm navigating a season that feels really fallow and in-between, and how spiritual loneliness and frustration with others not voicing their spiritual beliefs publicly is something I'm sitting with lately too.

If you're in a liminal season yourself, where things feel slow, uncertain, or like you're not quite who you used to be but not yet who you're becoming, I hope this episode feels like a warm cup of tea and a reminder that you're not alone.

Tarot reading for April 2025: The expansion and contraction of growth Mar 30, 2025

Show notes

Hey, Soothers! Here’s my Tarot reading for the month of April 2025, for all.

Feels like an understatement to say that growth isn’t always easy—it expands us, stretches us, and sometimes contracts us before we bloom again.

But this month's Tarot reading for April wants us to remember this: nature moves in rhythms—trees shed their leaves before budding anew, the ocean tides pull back before surging forward, and the moon wanes before it waxes.

Just like the natural world, we, too, grow in cycles of expansion and contraction. There are seasons of stretching beyond our comfort zones and seasons of retreat, rest, and integration. Trust that both are necessary.

This collective reading reminds us to embrace the sweetness of the present moment, trust that our spirit guides are always near, and move at the pace our soul needs while we go through whatever cycle is occuring.

There’s no rush. Let life unfold in divine timing. Center yourself as the expansion or contraction (or both!) occur.

Tarot reading for March 2025: Speak up, you're supported Mar 02, 2025

Show notes

Hey, Soothers! Here’s my Tarot reading for the month of March, for all readers.

The cards had a very clear message for the month ahead: You are not alone, and your voice carries more weight than you realize.

Spirit, ancestors, your higher self, whoever, are surrounding you, ready to assist—but they need you to ask. At the same time, this is not a moment to stay silent or shrink back. Your words, ideas, and truth matter.

Whether it’s speaking up for yourself, sharing your wisdom, or calling in the support you need, March is a time to embrace both the power of your voice and the deep well of guidance available to you.

Watch the video or listen to the audio for guidance, assignments and ideas on how to do this.

Happy March!

255: A post-U.S. election check-in with Tarot and the medicine of the Magician Nov 12, 2024

Show notes

Hey Soothers. I hope you are well. I am returning from sabbatical with more urgency than I had imagined, given that Trump has won a second term and we are entering scary, chaotic and even stranger times, politically, societally, and spiritually. I asked Tarot what is the guidance podcast listeners most need to hear now, in the wake of the election results, and I received card #1 of the Major Arcana of Tarot: The Magician. Tune in to receive some short guidance around the magic and the medicine of this card. Don't know or care about Tarot? Still check in; I think you'll find some motivation in this episodes.
I'll be back soon-ish with more — life updates from my sabbatical, wedding, and new offers.
