Can you believe I’m back in your inbox already? I’ve returned with another podcast episode - this time with improved audio and I’ve edited out most of the ums and weird mouth noises.

The themes of Seven of Cups have been really relevant to me lately; I’ve had a few different conversations about feeling overcome by the mountain of decisions we make day to day and knowing when we’re moving in the right direction (which relates back to what I talked about with Seven of Pentacles in the last episode). I’ve added images of both versions of the card below for reference.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you have them to share, so consider leaving a comment on the post! That would make me feel less like I’m yelling into the void (but I’m also very comfortable with doing that, so no worries).

Hello dear readers and now listeners! I have been toying with the idea of this (or some version of a podcast) for years and hesitating for many reasons:

* Will anyone even listen to what I have to say?

* Do I have the right equipment?

* Am I funny and interesting enough?

I still don’t have answers to these, but something I do know is that there are plenty of uninteresting, unfunny dickheads out there that didn’t hesitate to start their podcasts anyway, so why shouldn’t I risk being a dickhead too?

In my first episode, I talk about the card that has been giving me existential writer’s angst for three months now, the Seven of Pentacles. I also get into some lighthearted childhood trauma, being a hypocritical advice giver, and I say “and so” a lot. I’m sorry, I’ll work on that (as well as the audio quality - the $40 tiny mic was maybe not the best investment and recording in QuickTime and uploading with no edits was *a choice* but guess what? I’m learning and I’m proud).
