The New Sensitive

With two Queens showing up in the reading this month, July asks us to truly to commit to internal self care and internal belief and visions. Particularly, with the Queen of Wands, the question to ask yourself is: “If I were a witch, and could wave my wand to transform any situation as I wanted it to be, what would that look like, and how could I start to bring that into reality?” July looks like a...

I hate to be on repeat but, as with the last several months and readings, Spirit and your highest selves want you to feel good, receive abundance, take care of your body, have lots of pleasure, take up lots of space and shine your light. Sounds easy - but it’s not. Learning to love yourself, receive abundance, and let life be easy are some of the most challenging spiritual lessons we can learn. Bu...

March is a month of contradictions. There's energy coming in for authenticity and new habits and embodied behaviors, but you may have to go through some grief, healing and rest to get there. Stay tender and take good care of yourself! What do our highest selves, guides and the universe want us to most understand about March 2026 for our highest good? Knight of Wands What is the lesson of Marc...

Tune in for two short but sweet personal stories that reminded me of this important truth: the universe wants nothing more for us to step into our self-worth, to receive the gifts that are already all around us, and that we will be rewarded for stronger boundaries, too. This podcast is sponsored by Golden Rule Mushrooms , my favorite source for microdosing. I always recommend the Beginner's K...

This week's episode is about something I call the Good Girl Job identity. It's the way that so many of us — sensitive women, perfectionists, high achievers — have learned, very deeply, to locate our worth inside our work. To be "good" people by having "good" jobs. And how, when our soul starts to outgrow that container, the experience can feel less like a career shift...

Today I'm taking all of your Q&A about quitting your job: the money stuff, the mindset stuff, the health insurance stuff.  But the reality is this: a lot of this comes down to self-belief, self-worth, and getting out of "I can't" or "I have to" and victim mindset.  So tune in for all the details as well as a necessary tough love pep talk on why, yes you CAN DO THI...

My dear friend and colleague Missy Toy Ozeas joins me on the pod this week to discuss energetic cleansing, spiritual leadership, and how sensitive women can step into the leadership that is deeply needed at this time in the world.  Missy is an incredible energy healer, intuitive and channel, and she's got the wisdom many of us sensitive souls desperately need at this time. Missy is accepting...

February is a month of preparation for a challenging journey. You are not leaving yet (and what you might be leaving could be a job, a situation, or simply a way of operating or thinking in the world) but the seeds are being planted under the snow. It's okay that the journey ahead may be challenging, because this is the month you will undertake the right preparation, and you can also trust th...

I've been pulling the Queen of Swords for SO many folks lately, and she was a real guiding force — and my ally card — in 2025. So I know her message pretty well. To help you if you're dancing with her energy this year, I'm reading my chapter on her from my upcoming book, Tarot for People Pleasers and Perfectionists: How to Use the Cards to Make Better Decisions, Set Boundaries, and...

Welcome to your Tarot for 2026 year ahead forecast! I asked the cards several questions about this coming turn on the wheel, so let’s get into it… 2026 brings a collective shift out of isolation and survival mode and into movement, agency, and light. While the energy is more expansive, the main challenges ahead are internal: comparison, self-doubt, shame, and “not enoughness.” Through cards like t...

The mood swings. The fatigue. The anxiety and looping thoughts. The burnout that hits, again and again. The long-term chronic symptoms or autoimmune diagnosis that no one can quite explain (Lyme, mold, long COVID, CFS, MCAS). The disrupted sleep. Migraines. The sudden weight changes. The bloating or digestive issues. The exhaustion. The hormones that feel all over the place.  Why does being a high...

One of the questions I get asked about most is a combo of "How can I leave my soul-sucking job to start my own creative or healing business?" plus "How can I do this when I don't have a way to bridge the gap the income?" I address this question with the help of Tarot today, because this is a huge theme I see coming for 2026: It's time to quit, re-evaluate, or somehow...

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, journalin...

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...

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 s...

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,...

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 Arcan...
