Casually Profound

This episode goes to show how everything in life is at the end of the day spiritual. We start with tarot and end up talking about romance novels, giggling about everything in between. Woven through the whole conversation we keep coming back to how we process our shit in all of these different situations.

In this episode we talk about:

• How we used tarot to make it through hard times.

• Interpreting tarot through an intuitive lens.

• Giving trauma-informed language to the tarot.

• Bringing softness into the tarot.

• What it’s like exploring the connection with the divine without an external tool like tarot.

• How doing the work has allowed us to operate from the soul self and what that feels like on a day-to-day basis.

• How our spiritual practices have actually brought peace into our lives.

• The ebb and flow of different tools in our lives.

• Understanding the astrology of Aquarius energy.

• How music activates and expands life force energies.

• Bridging the gaps between the different spiritual and secular aspects of ourselves.

• Dark fantasy romance novels (specifically mentioned Blood Orange and the Underworld Gods series by Karina Halle as well as A Court of Rose and Thorns by Sarah J. Maas).

• Sexual liberation and navigating toxic tropes in romance.

• Finding the spiritual meanings hidden in pop culture.

• The zero-sum game mentality that’s so common today.

In this episode, I discuss the wisdom of the body with Jenna Dawn and Stephanie Rempel. We get into how each of us has grown into different layers of our intuition as we have become more comfortable being human. Part of that has been feeling through our emotional triggers in the moment, and part of that has been waiting until later and setting the scene to seduce an ugly cry, We talk about the art of being human by just chilling on hardcore healing, and instead how to just soften into the experience along the way.

You can find Jenna Dawn and Stephanie Rempel on Instagram at @iamjennadawn and @stephdrempel respectively.
