Living Tarot

In this episode of Living Tarot, I answer two listener questions about my process of integrating and learning to work with new tarot decks.

I discuss some easy ways to get started as well as how to assess your progress with a new tarot deck.

I also share how to know if a tarot deck is not right for you and what to do if that is the case.

The holidays are a time when we are often gifted new decks and having an easy way to work with a new deck is critical this time of year.

Episode 59 of Living Tarot is for all my tarot deck hoarders and collectors. Supporting indie artists is wonderful but it can lead to tarot deck decision fatigue. So what do we do when we have too many options?

• In this episode, I share how I work with new decks so that I know the vibe and communication style of each one.
• I explain how to integrate a new deck into your tarot practice gradually.
• Certain decks serve us best at different times in our lives and working with each new deck as you get it can help you understand exactly what deck will serve you best in the moment.
• I also touch on how to avoid overwhelm and use your intuition to trust that you have the right deck in your hand when you need it.

Her love of words doesn't stop at the authoring, editing, and coaching levels. One of her favorite ways to use words is in spells, as she identifies as a real-life witch. and I discuss how intuition is the bridge between creativity and the real world.

We chat about how Domenica uses tarot archetypes to help writers develop their characters.

On episode 57 of Living Tarot I dive into what lessons we can learn from the seven of wands to help us through the holiday season

Though this card often shows up as a harbinger of defensiveness and battles ahead, it also provides potent information on the tender parts of us that need protecting.

I also discuss how the information embodying the seven of wands provides can actually help us show up more authentically with family and friends, which in turn helps us enjoy this reflective emotional time of year.

I explain how the six of cups offers us the ability to show up to holiday interactions with honesty and vulnerability making for a more meaningful and satisfying season.

On episode 56 of Living Tarot, I dive into my email box for the first Ask Sheila of the season.

I discuss what happens when we take a break from our deck and address one reader's concerns about getting rusty on cards meanings. Spoiler: it can actually be a good thing.

I also tackle a question about when to use tarot and oracle and some things to think about when you're trying to decide.

Have you ever reached the point in your business or career where you know something is off but you just can't seem to figure out what it is?

On Episode 55 of Living Tarot I talk about how to run career diagnostics to figure out how to diagnose and work through career and business issues.

This type of inquiry is incredibly powerful for me in my own career and business but it is technique that I use very often with clients

Learn how to assess where you are now and where you want to head next.

Tarot is the perfect neutral resource for you to figure out exactly where you need to shift your focus to see your career and business bloom.

What happens when we have a big question that we're afraid to know the answer to? In episode 53 of Living Tarot, I speak to the big hairy scary questions and how to approach your deck when you're unprepared for the answer

I talk about how to know if you're not ready to hear the answer to a specific question.

I share some techniques for figuring out where that fear is coming from and ideas of what to ask instead.

I explain how to approach readings until you have more clarity or comfort around the question you fear.

This is a very common occurrence and rather than using it as an excuse not to read, I explain how it can be a particularly potent time to become a more comprehensive tarot reader.

Erin and Davis both discuss times when they did and didn't listen to their intuition and what they learned

They also share what they've learned from collaborating effectively over a distance and how communication has shaped their working relationship

Welcome to Season Two of Living Tarot! On Episode 51, Might As Well Face It, I'm Addicted to Cards, I dive into the pitfalls of relying too heavily on your tarot deck.

I discuss the warning signs of becoming too reliant on your Tarot Deck.

Relying too heavily on your deck can actually make it harder to connect with your intuition instead of easier.

I explain some options for taking a break so that you can reconnect with your intuition in both mind and body

I'm so happy to be back with a brand new season and I look forward to some amazing guests and new topics of conversation.
