The Burden of Healing
July 14, 2024 19:12 - 25 minutes - 46 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I explore the challenges and rewards of seeking deep, meaningful connections in a fast-paced, often superficial world. Inspired by the King of Cups and the Ten of Wands, tarot helps me discuss the burden of healing, the desire for depth, and the paradox of increased self-awareness. Join me as I navigate the complexities of relationship dynamics and the importance of patience, empathy, and authentic connection. This episode was inspired both by a co...
The Golden Shadow
June 30, 2024 20:53 - 32 minutes - 58.8 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m pulling cards to the concept of the golden shadow, a lesser-known aspect of Carl Jung’s theory of the shadow. While the idea of the shadow and shadow work is well-known and often discussed in the realms of tarot and psychology, the golden shadow highlights the positive traits and potentials we might have repressed or ignored. Throughout this episode, I pull the Page of Swords as an example of golden shadow work, highlighting how curiosity may be...
How a Therapist Reads Tarot
June 16, 2024 19:40 - 24 minutes - 44.8 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m getting candid about reading tarot as a therapist and how fascinating that intersection is to be hanging out in. This is an exciting and intimate episode where I share a real reading with all of you. I felt like it was important to show how a therapist might approach the cards with a real world example. So, get ready to be a fly on the wall as I pull the Eight of Cups, Six of Swords, Ace of Pentacles, and the Knight of Cups! Want to know when I...

We open the conversation by pulling the Nine of Swords with The Moon, which catapults us into the world of an...
Navigating Gender: A Tarot Exploration
May 19, 2024 21:42 - 41 minutes - 75.7 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m sitting down with The Gender Doula, Eli Lawliet, PhD. Eli (he/him) is the dreamer and weaver of The Gender Doula.

I Can Do it With a Broken Heart
May 12, 2024 18:02 - 24 minutes - 44.6 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m doing something I have never done before. I am exploring tarot through the lens of music - specifically the iconic Taylor Swift. Swift recently took the world by storm (as she always does) not just via her Eras world tour, but by dropping a (double) album in the midst of the tour. Admittedly, I have never been a Swiftie and only recently started listening to her music when she released Midnights. I tend to listen to more obscure metal and indie...
Tarot & Social Psychology
April 28, 2024 20:05 - 25 minutes - 46.1 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m getting nerdy and exploring the topic of Tarot and Social Psychology. I spend time dissecting the concepts of power, authority, conformity, and prejudice through the lens of tarot archetypes and then I dive into the world of attitudes and actions. I guide listeners through an enlightening exercise I first introduced to members of The Tarot Diagnosis community - The Symposium during a monthly workshop series. Tune in to participate in a social p...
Tarot for Your Existential Crisis
April 14, 2024 22:01 - 24 minutes - 45.1 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m getting existential. There’s been an uptick in discussion in my therapy practice around the concept of death, the meaning of life, and existential dread. So, naturally I’m turning to tarot to help me examine, ponder, and even come to terms with my own existential dread. The Five of Cups, Queen of Swords, Hanged Man, Two of Wands, and Nine of Cups all make an appearance and help to write the narrative of an existential crisis. I’m inspired by Fre...
Individuation with The World
April 09, 2024 00:56 - 26 minutes - 49.1 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m back after a short hiatus with the anchor of The World. I reflect personally on what this card represents for me as I feel like I’m very much in the middle of a World moment - a lot of culmination, completion, and new beginnings swirling around me. All of which is why I have been rather quiet on social media and the podcast the last few months. I sincerely appreciate all of you who have reached out after noticing I had been a bit quiet. Rest assu...
Judgement: A True Awakening
March 18, 2024 00:01 - 41 minutes - 76.6 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I am joined by author and artist Monica Bodirsky. Together we traverse the world of Judgement and explore how powerful language can be when it comes to tarot and the importance of using our *discretion* when it comes to not only how we interpret the cards, but also the words, meanings, and associations we assign to them. Monica Bodirsky is an artist, author, and professional consultant whose specialty is tarot. Her innovative approach empowers indiv...
Shadow Work with Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung
March 11, 2024 16:13 - 31 minutes - 57 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I invite you to step into the transformative practice of Shadow Work, guided by the symbolism of The Sun card. Unpacking the teachings of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, I explore how the shadow encompasses suppressed fears, desires, and insecurities within us. Contrary to common misconceptions, the shadow isn't inherently dark; it also encompasses lighter aspects we've pushed aside. Shadow Work involves bravely bringing these hidden aspects into the li...
The Moon: The intersection of Astrology & Tarot
March 04, 2024 02:25 - 1 hour - 113 MBThis week’s episode is a break from tarot heavy content and instead taking a step into the world of astrology – specifically the role of the moon and our moon sign. I’m joined by astrologer and psychic medium Alexander Kriech who shares his wisdom and experience with us and guides us through the importance of the moon and what it means for each of us. Alex sheds light on how the moon can represent more than repression, shadows, and deep emotions – but also our relationship with our mothe...
Healing the Mother Wound
February 25, 2024 18:42 - 32 minutes - 59.3 MBIt is so nice to be back recording some episodes. This has been a weird month for me - you probably noticed episodes have been inconsistent and I’ve been rather quiet on social media. Unfortunately, I was insanely sick for nearly three weeks, but I’m finally coming out the other side and experiencing some glimpses of energy again. This week, I explore generational trauma, focusing on the Mother Wound. I discuss how trauma can impact us unintentionally and through the concept of epigenetics....
The Perfectionist's Paradox: Exploring Overcontrol with RO-DBT & Tarot
February 11, 2024 22:48 - 41 minutes - 76.5 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I am joined by fellow therapist Emilea Richardson from Sparrow Therapy and we work to navigate the intricate terrain of perfectionism and overcontrol, while discussing how Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) and tarot insights can illuminate our path towards greater self-acceptance and authentic living. Remember, the journey towards embracing imperfection and letting go is not about achieving perfection but about finding harmony amid...
Coping with Tower Moments
January 28, 2024 19:19 - 28 minutes - 51.7 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we’re holding space for Tower moments. I explore the concept of coping with Tower moments - tips to process your own Tower moments and how to support others who may be experiencing a difficult time. Listeners will get a glimpse into what it’s like using tarot with a therapy client as I share a real therapeutic example of using my “Coping with Tower Moments” spread in session with a client. Throughout the episode, I explore the ways the Nine of S...
Tarot & Attachment Styles
January 21, 2024 18:56 - 34 minutes - 62.8 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m exploring the world of Attachment Theory through the lens of tarot! I start off anchoring us with The Devil archetype and then lead us on a journey into Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized, and Secure attachment styles. To explore these concepts, I spend time working with The Moon, Nine of Swords, Four of Cups, Eight of Cups, Queen of Swords, Two of Cups, Six of Pentacles and then the Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine of Wands. So, it’s a very card heavy ...
Terrible Tarot: A Conversation with Annie Buell
January 14, 2024 22:03 - 46 minutes - 84.7 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m stepping into the world of social media tarot readers with Annie Buell aka Moonlight Medium who you might know from TikTok (check them out here). We’ve all been scrolling and come across some questionable readings before. Annie was noticing an alarming amount of these on TikTok and started two series to help educate folks on “Terrible Tarot” and “Trustworthy Tarot.” Together we get real about social media tarot readings, exploring peopl...
The Psychology of Temperance & Strength
January 05, 2024 17:38 - 18 minutes - 33.1 MBWelcome back to a new year of The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast! This week I’m exploring the symbolism of the Temperance archetype while also finding where it intersects with the Strength card - as it’s the card of 2024. Throughout the episode, I draw parallels between Temperance and psychological concepts like self-regulation, radical acceptance, and change, which we see in therapeutic modalities such as ACT and DBT. I discover that rather than merely advocating for balance, Temperance emphasize...
Death and Transformation
December 03, 2023 23:53 - 18 minutes - 34.1 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m pulling cards and offering a raw and vulnerable glimpse into what this last year has been like personally and professionally. From surgery, to a farewell - I touch on everything that has made this year what it was through the lens of Death as our anchor. The World, 8 of Cups, and King of Pentacles emerge first as reflections of the year and have me reflecting on the departure of my former co-host. Then the Wheel of Fortune, Two of Swords, an...
Leaving the Church & Finding Tarot
November 26, 2023 18:47 - 47 minutes - 87.4 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I’m joined by Cami Ostman - a former Internal Family Systems therapist who has journeyed away from organized religion, into tarot and therapy, and now into storytelling. Cami vulnerably explores her experience of entering and exiting a fundamental religion, how pivotal tarot has been in her personal healing journey, and how she has transitioned from one healing profession into another. Throughout the episode, we talk about Eight of Wands, Ten...

Theresa and I touch on societal pressures, why we often neglect certain types of grief beyond death, and we challenge toxic positivity and our societal discomf...
Logic & Magic: Finding Harmony in Opposition
November 12, 2023 20:27 - 22 minutes - 40.9 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I tackle a topic I think many of you have pondered yourselves. How do we find harmony while we’re rooted in logic, but long for magic? A Symposium member reached out to me recently and posed an insightful question. I had already planned on doing some work with The Hanged Man this week, and I felt her question paired so well with that anchor. I begin the episode by exploring the concept of logic and magic through the lens of The Hanged Man. Then Th...
The Psychology of Money with Mimi Cirbusova
November 05, 2023 21:41 - 50 minutes - 92.7 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, Mimi Cirbusova joins me to explore the personal stories and baggage we carry around about money and personal finances. Mimi is brilliant at taking a topic often dominated by shame and infusing it with compassion and understanding. We use tarot to help us explore our money scripts (take the quiz here), find out what experiences contribute to our money stories, discuss how to regain a sense of financial power when you’re feeling anxious and over...
Justice & Cognitive Dissonance
October 29, 2023 18:53 - 19 minutes - 36.5 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I have an epiphany about the Justice card. You’ll hear me realize why this card has always frightened me, made me squirm, and want to shove it back in the deck (or in the trash) and pull again. It was such a profound moment, even my partner was like… “Oh sh*t!” I tackle the psychological concept of cognitive dissonance and somehow explore Temperance, Five of Swords, Seven of Wands, Nine of Wands, Queen of Swords, and The Fool all within a relativ...
The Reality of The Wheel of Fortune: A conversation with Sarah Thibault
October 22, 2023 18:31 - 43 minutes - 80.4 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, join me for a candid and personal conversation about the Wheel of Fortune and how we can humanize an often elusive, or superficial archetype. Sarah Thibault, host of The Side Woo podcast joins me and together we talk about how we can reclaim the Wheel of Fortune by viewing it through the lens of power and control, karma, comparison, radical acceptance, and ritual. Yes - all of that. And somehow it all works. We also explore traditional and modern d...
Healing Anxiety with Horror: A Conversation with Candis Green

Candis Green from Many Moons Therapy joins me to explore the unconventional coping methods of horror for healing anxiety and regulating our nervous system. We explore the spectrum of horror, how it can help us learn to regulate our nervous systems, discuss what the window of tolerance is, and somehow pull cards in the process. This was such a fun conversation full of valuable insight into how ...
Using Tarot to Find Yourself
October 08, 2023 20:03 - 31 minutes - 57 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I get personal as I explore the concept of the core self through the archetype of The Hermit and the Internal Family Systems model. I had a great conversation with a listener recently who shared that she was listening to This Jungian Life Podcast when they spoke about how the first 50 years of our life is about finding our place in the world, and the next 50 is about finding our place within ourselves. This was deeply profound for me because I feel...
Revealing The Shadow: A Conversation with Thomas Witholt
September 24, 2023 21:32 - 52 minutes - 95.3 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I sit down with Thomas Witholt from Hermit's Mirror to create a space for us to unravel aspects of the shadow self - specifically as it relates to difficult emotions such as anger and fear. Thomas brings in a Jungian and Buddhist approach to the shadow that helps to soften the edges on a topic that most of us find so uncomfortable. We start off by exploring emotional power dynamics of the shadow and the concept of reparenting and building s...
Healing from Betrayal: How Do We Trust Again & Repair?
September 17, 2023 18:28 - 27 minutes - 51.2 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, the difficult topic of betrayal and the arduous process of learning to trust again is explored through the anchors of Strength and The Empress reversed. I explore the pain and fear associated with infidelity, including abandonment wounds, rejection, and scarcity. The cards help guide me towards a discussion on repairing trust, what that can look like and how to be realistic about the non-linear process of repair after betrayal. It seems like all th...
Understanding Trauma: A Discussion on PTSD, C-PTSD, & Generational Trauma
September 10, 2023 20:44 - 27 minutes - 49.8 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I spend time talking about some of the nuances of trauma including PTSD, C-PTSD, and generational trauma through the lens of The Chariot, Nine of Wands, Nine of Cups, Ten of Cups, and Three of Pentacles. I surprise myself with the depth and connection between the archetype of, and symbolism within, The Chariot. As I pull additional cards throughout the episode, I explore what it is like to live with, cope with, and seek to heal trauma. Topics of h...
The Alchemy of Language
September 04, 2023 21:07 - 48 minutes - 89.6 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I sit down with Erin Jones, the owner of Hermit and The Moon, to explore the power, nuance, and healing properties of language. This conversation was inspired by a meetup in The Symposium a while back where Erin challenged the use of the phrase “stalker card” and changed the way I view repeating cards. This got me thinking about the language used within and about tarot, so naturally I invited her to explore this with me on the podcast. Erin and I i...
Parts Work & Integration: Working with The Lovers & The Aces
August 27, 2023 20:00 - 24 minutes - 45.2 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I spend time reflecting on personal identity and parts work. I’ve been seeing a lot of folks in my therapy practice who are feeling disconnected from themselves and others and we’ve found that it stems from a disconnection from our multiple parts and identities. We often grab a hold of one identity (e.g. mother, therapist, tarot reader, etc.) and we forget that we are so much more than that because the other parts and identities feel at odds with the...
Tarot & Business
August 21, 2023 00:55 - 56 minutes - 103 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I sit down with *gasp* my accountant. But this isn’t your average boring financial conversation. Tony Cola and I sit down to explore the ups, downs, nuances, and celebrations of being a business owner (or having a side hustle). We open the episode with the Three of Pentacles, which immediately has us talking about how important the beginning phases of starting a business are, in addition to the internal and external team you create. The Ten of Wa...
Reimagining The Hierophant
August 13, 2023 19:52 - 24 minutes - 44 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I step into the profound world of The Hierophant in order to expose the complexity of history, culture, and spirituality that carries both pain and hope within this archetype. By navigating this card’s inherent duality, I am able to explore the challenges it poses in today's world where rigid traditions often clash with our modern values. Join me as I dissect this archetype's call to embrace beliefs, its symbolism of wisdom-seeking and its shadow...
Tarot & Storytelling
August 06, 2023 18:04 - 53 minutes - 97.2 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I sit down with author, storyteller, and tarot enthusiast Amanda “Mandy” Hughes from @HaintblueCreative. We explore the inherent narrative quality of the cards, and how we can utilize them for our own creativity. Plus, Mandy walks us through a narrative read of the cards and shares her Tarot Story Arc spread for storytelling. This was so fun to experience - even if you’re not a storyteller. I found myself developing new insights with the cards by r...
Redefining The Emperor
July 31, 2023 02:27 - 27 minutes - 50.8 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I explore why The Emperor is one of the most contentious cards in the tarot (along with The Hierophant, but that's for a later episode). I’ve long had a distant and detached relationship with this card until recently. Join me as I spend time unraveling this archetype’s shadow in order to reveal its light - which we don’t often allow to shine. Throughout this episode, I rely heavily on the Somnia Tarot depiction of The Emperor, because it is haunting...
The Tarot Ultimatum {A Conversation with Sam & Aussie from Netflix's "The Ultimatum: Queer Love"}
July 23, 2023 17:22 - 1 hour - 127 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Sam and Aussie, a couple and castmates from the Netflix hit show "The Ultimatum: Queer Love," which debuted in May 2023 and follows five couples who disagree over whether or not they’re ready to get married. This might seem like a departure from my typical content, but Sam is actually a tarot reader and both she and Aussie infuse Tarot and mental health advocacy into their daily lives and into their relationship...
Reclaiming Your Body Narrative
July 09, 2023 19:53 - 34 minutes - 63.4 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I sit down with a body positive photographer and content creator who’s on a mission to help folks learn to love their body. Ashley Fenison and I get really vulnerable talking about existing in a fat body, how to develop a relationship with a body that society is always telling us to hate, and how to comfort our wounded inner child. We open the episode with the Ace of Swords (swords won’t leave me alone y’all) and The Universe (The World). This promp...
The Psychology of Manifestation with The Empress
July 02, 2023 20:06 - 24 minutes - 44.9 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast by exploring the idea of manifestation, the psychology behind it, and the connection of this experience to The Empress. I spend some time hanging out at the intersection of manifestation and privilege and talk about the role The Empress plays within this space. The Hierophant helps us open the conversation, which I then quickly pair with The Empress - creating a fascinating pathway of thought and reflectio...

The Paradox of Growth & Change {Working with The High Priestess}
June 25, 2023 16:46 - 21 minutes - 39.7 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I find myself sharing personal musings on the paradox of growth and change. I shed light on how so many of us seem to be experiencing significant changes right now. I went back and forth between a few ideas for this week’s episode, but I kept landing on how paradoxical growth and change is. On one hand it can bring us so much joy and fulfillment, yet on the other hand it can be wrought with pain and discomfort. I use this opportunity to reflect on...

Tarot & Parts Work: The Intersection of Internal Family Systems, Jungian Psychology, & Tarot
June 11, 2023 18:04 - 35 minutes - 64.8 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I guide us to the tarot intersection of Internal Family Systems and Carl Jung's process of individuation. I have been deep in the world of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Jungian Depth Psychology the last few months - so, it’s not surprising that the theme for this week’s episode centers around both of these concepts. In fact, the workshop in The Symposium this month (Working with The Swords) is also heavily influenced and inspired by IFS and Ju...
Beyond the Self {Exploring The Magician with Nick Kepley}
June 04, 2023 15:30 - 42 minutes - 78.2 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, Nick Kepley from the In Search of Tarot podcast joins me as my very first guest post podcast shake up! We get nerdy about the importance of looking beyond the self, through the lens of The Magician. We peel back the layers of the card's overt and covert symbolism, while also exploring what it means to step outside of the binary, or all or nothing thinking, and into a state of liminality or “formlessness." We touch on the Six of Pentacles, The World, ...
Cultivating Resilience with The Fool
May 28, 2023 17:54 - 24 minutes - 45.6 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I open up about my surface-level relationship with The Fool and the journey I took in search of depth and meaning. It was during this month-long journey that I started to apply various psychological principles to the first card in the Major Arcana – like the theory of attachment, the experience of anxiety, and the liminality of identity development. However, it wasn’t until the recent changes with the podcast that I started to assign the word “Resi...
Processing a Farewell: Exploring Luna's Departure from The Tarot Diagnosis
May 21, 2023 21:31 - 25 minutes - 46.1 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I explore the pain and confusion inherent within an abrupt farewell and speak candidly about my former co-host’s departure and what my vision for the future of The Tarot Diagnosis is - all while pulling cards of course.

Grudges & Revenge
April 16, 2023 21:20 - 38 minutes - 71.2 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we dive into the often ugly (but all too familiar) world of Grudges and Revenge.

Join us for this very Three of Swords episodes, where we channel Knight energy to see how we can find the balance between the Four of Wands and The Devil. ...
Managing Intrusive Thoughts
April 09, 2023 18:58 - 34 minutes - 62.9 MBThis week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we talk about the extremely common, but very uncomfortable topic of intrusive thoughts. We all have them from time to time. Sometimes it’s easy to brush them off, and sometimes they can be deeply disturbing. It seemed only right for us to talk about the nature of these thoughts, and what we can do to help manage them. King of Cups and The Lovers opens the conversation for us and leads us on several different noteworthy paths. Join us as we expl...
