Tarot. For some - a spiritual and personal development tool. For others - a question mark? For Diogo - a way of living and more importantly, a way of Being. Tune in if you want to discover how this rather young yet wise and unique human being thinks and feels about the mysterious art of helping people through (apparently) a mere deck of illustrated cards.

What about you? What do you think and feel about Tarot?

Diogo Afonso chose the road less traveled. Driven by a desire to get to our society's roots, he tried pursuing a degree in History, only to find out that university wasn't for him. Currently, he is dedicating his professional life to Tarot and spirituality. In the first part of this episode, we explore his story and some of the tools that help both of us live more connected lives.  In the second part of this episode, we dive into the world of Tarot and discuss whether it can be used as a spiritual practice.

After graduating in Psychology from IE University, Oskar decided to follow a less conventional path and become a creative entrepreneur, also known as a life purpose and productivity coach. In this episode, we explore how we can use practical tools such as the Ikigai and following our curiosity to deliberately create and own our professional futures. In addition, we cover the importance of building creative confidence even before we graduate by not being afraid of taking risks, failing, and exposing ourselves.
