In this week’s episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Marilyn Shannon—longtime tarot and Lenormand reader and the founder of the Kingston Tarot & Lenormand Conference in Kingston, Ontario.

Marilyn shared how tarot first called to her at the age of 12, and how it’s been a guiding thread ever since. We talked about how her personal practice has evolved over the years and what it means to follow your intuitive nudges—especially when they lead you toward building something bigger than yourself.

What began as a wish to bring a favourite speaker to her hometown turned into a full-fledged, heart-centered gathering of intuitive readers. Marilyn spoke about the importance of creating space for support rather than competition, and how a shared love of the cards can foster belonging, recognition, and mentorship. Her conferences are not just events—they’re communities rooted in connection, mutual growth, and the magic that happens when readers gather together.

We ended the episode by each pulling a card and shared our personal insights and reflections.

If you’re curious about how tarot can be less about “me” and more about “we”—less isolation, more community—this episode will give you real stories, honest reflections and a reminder that belonging changes everything.
