Glow with Grace 💖

Today’s GRACED podcast episode is a little different today and I am talking to one of the Create Your Deck Club members, Jamie, to hear about her experience inside the Create Your Deck Club.

In this cheerful conversation, unbeknownst to me, Jamie had actually taken another deck making course but actually had trouble making progress, and she actually struggled for years in making her own deck…that is, until she joined the Create Your Deck Club!

In today’s GRACED podcast episode, we dive deep into the themes of the Hierophant card which represents tradition, being involved with an institution, and learning from mentors within the community.

The Hierophant can give us a sense of belonging within traditional structures and can influence the way you live your life. Ultimately, you can take these structures and create your own rules, honoring traditions that you grew up with, and creating your own.

In this cheerful conversation, our guest today is Brigit Esselmont, founder of Biddy Tarot, and who has also created a Tarot Deck called Biddy Tarot, which is featured on her website. Brigit and I talk about how she created her tarot community stemming from her own need of belonging, becoming the visionary in her business, growing her team, and so much more. Brigit also gives us a collective reading from her deck, which you’ll have to listen to the end for! This episode is packed with a great mix of practicality along with intuition, and how to use both skill sets in creating community, building a business, and living a fulfilling life.

In today’s GRACED podcast episode, we dive deep into the themes of the Emperor card which represents authority, building a foundation, and power. The Emperor guides us into the systems that we surround ourselves with and how to build a stronger sense of autonomy within these structures that can ultimately be the key for our freedom. In this open and honest conversation, our guest today is Aja Daashuur, most known as the Spirit Guide Coach, and who has also co-created an Oracle Deck called “Guided by Spirit” with her husband Justin Daashuur Hopkins. Aja and I talk about how she created her community, the Spirit House Collective, setting boundaries, and defining what it means to build an empire for yourself on your own terms. Aja also gives us a collective reading from her deck! This episode is packed with wisdom, guidance, and a grounded way of looking at what it means to build a spiritual business that often can be ethereal in nature - like connecting to your guides, channeling, and mediumship.
