In this episode, I talk with Arianna Smith, a licensed therapist, copywriter, and Tarot reader who helps therapists, spiritual seekers, and healers tap into their intuition and reclaim their power, both in life and in business. Arianna incorporates EMDR, human design, internal family systems, and intuitive development into her work supporting clients, whether in healing or marketing.
In this conversation, Arianna shares about her experience coming to Tarot, through a therapist she worked with and her card-reading grandmother. But it was only recently that Arianna decided to bring Tarot into her work more publicly.
Arianna shares about the nudges she received to integrate modalities and own her Tarot prowess while also holding boundaries that respect her various disciplines.
We also discuss what it can look like to bring Tarot into a therapy space (whether you're the patient or the therapist); taking steps to "own" a Tarot practice more fully or publicly (in our own unique ways); powerful connections between addiction, recovery, and Tarot; and we pull a couple cards — The Lovers and 10 of Wands, which seem to depict two ends on a spectrum of of self-acceptance and care.
And we leave listeners with a two-card Tarot spread to try on their own:
CARD 1: What is a value that can be guiding in your spiritual journey?
CARD 2: How can you release the burdens you're carrying around this?
