This 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 reflection where I suggest that we reimagine The Hierophant as the manifestation card. The Eight of Pentacles also invites itself into the conversation to bring awareness to the importance of being grounded in realistic goal setting, dedication, and hard work.

This 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 the archetype of The High Priestess and explore the card’s inherent duality and own paradoxical nature. I also find myself inviting in the energy of the Six of Swords and then the cards challenge me a bit when I pull the Nine of Cups. The Five of Cups and The Fool stop by for a moment as well.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, Sonia Fregoso, M.A., LMFT joins me to explore somatic healing practices and how tarot can act as our personal medicine and wisdom. We get vulnerable and explore the ancient healing practice of crying, discuss how tarot is accessible medicine, and get real about how we've become disconnected from our bodies. We begin by inviting in the energy of the Strength card and the Page of Pentacles and end with the Strength card re-emerging with the Six of Cups. We even share some practical tools you can start implementing immediately and even challenge you to practice one at the end of the episode that might take you outside your comfort zone. Sonia Fregoso, M.A., LMFT is a Xicana licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and energy bruja. She meets people at the intersection of Spiritual Health and Mental Health, combining her expertise in psychology with elements of Ancestral, Somatic, and Energetic healing practices.

In this episode of the podcast, the host explores the intersection of Internal Family Systems and Carl Jung's process of individuation with Tarot. They discuss the concept of Internal Family Systems and how our mind is comprised of different parts. The use of tarot cards to identify and understand these parts is explored, with a focus on the concept of exile within ourselves. The speaker also shares their personal experiences with anxiety and discusses the intersection of Internal Family Systems and Jungian psychology. Furthermore, the concept of firefighters in Internal Family Systems is discussed, along with the impact of one of these firefighter parts represented by the eight of cups tarot card.

This 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, and The Wheel of Fortune, while we work to figure out why The Magician appears insular when the magic they create exists because of what’s outside of, or beyond, them.

This 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 “Resilient” to The Fool. So, I dove back into my reflections and realized this card, that often feels so shallow, might actually be the wisest and most resilient card in the whole Tarot. *This episode was influenced and inspired by the work of Yoav Ben-Dov, Rachel Anne Williams, the Buddhist principle of non-attachment, attachment theory, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.* Have a topic you’d like to hear about? We’re always interested in hearing your suggestions! Click here to submit a topic!

This 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. I have a lot of conflicting thoughts and feelings about this episode, but I think it's a necessary part of the process. Join me as I explore my own experience with this sudden change through the lens of the Two of Wands, Five of Swords, Nine of Swords, and Ten of Pentacles. Spoiler: The future of TTD is going to include lots of nerdy deep dives into cards, guest appearances, and conversations with folks from all walks of life. As always, you’re invited to tag along for what’s most definitely going to be quite an adventure.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, we dive into the often ugly (but all too familiar) world of Grudges and Revenge. Inspired by several listener questions over the past year, we tackle the shadow side of our inner worlds, the enticing and obsessive desire to consider revenge, and why we have such difficulty letting go of grudges. 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.   Decks used: Golden Art Nouveau and Pamela Coleman Smith's playing card deck Have a topic you’d like to hear up talk about? We’re always interested in hearing your suggestions! Click here to submit atopic!

This 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 explore this shadowy world of our own minds and gain a greater understanding of ourselves and of tarot.
