Happy slightly belated new moon, you dreambabes! I hope the eclipse season is treating you well, that you are being showered in beautiful insights and that healing feels like softly floating down a river on a stable and supportive leaf (idk where that came from, I had a lot of rose tea this morning).  I feel super excited to bring you this gem of a conversation - it`s is a beautiful deep-dive into ideas, challenges and dreams around sharing, solidarity and engaging with money in sustainable, healthier ways.

Hey friends, this episode is really, really beautiful - especially if you are into the tarot. Lindsay Mack has been such an inspiration to me as she has a really unique way of working with the cards in healing and creative ways. I got to ask her about self-care practices, plant friends, making wild career moves and healing from trauma and PTSD.  Lindsay shared her view on soul cards, how her astrological houses have helped her better understand her experience, how she started her journey as a tarot reader after a major crisis, what eucalyptus means to her and why she wants to connect to the plants of her ancestry. We also talked about healing trauma as a present moment process around something that happened in the past, what our relationship to the word witch is and our perspective on generosity and unconventional online marketing.  A little side note - the sound quality unfortunately is a little lower than usual in this episode as I had some tech issues, I hope you still enjoy it!  More about Lindsay:  Linds
