85. Tarot as a Strategic & Intuitive Tool with Amelia Hruby

Today we continue our Woo Woo at Work series with a deep and thoughtful conversation about tarot with Amelia Hruby.

Amelia is a writer, educator and podcaster with a PhD in philosophy. She is the founder of Softer Sounds (the feminist podcast studio that produces this podcast!). And she’s also the host of my tiny tarot practice, a podcast exploring each card of the tarot with a tiny <10min episode.

Together, Marie and Amelia discuss how tarot is a supportive tool for self-reflection and a powerful method for strategic planning. Along the way, they unravel the many ways that these cards can bring us closer to our purpose and transform our lives professionally and otherwise.

So whether you’ve never held a tarot deck or you pull from one regularly, this episode will deepen and expand your approach to using the cards at work or in any other setting.
