In this week's episode, I share a tarot reading for the collective that encourages us to make room at the table for all parts of us and reminds us that our brain doesn’t know everything- we don’t have to believe our beliefs about what is possible for us and how far we can go. What’s present for us is an invitation to feel proud; to keep working hard, to know how far we’ve come and to keep doing the work, while making sure to maintain our boundaries and staying open and welcoming. This is supported by the idea that we can receive, create, and foster, beauty and joy with every step we take and to receive and create and engage with the beauty and pleasure that is all around.
