Speaker 1 (00:00):
So this is going to be one of those episodes
that I start by saying, I've wanted to do this
for a while, and here it is, because that's exactly
the case. I've had this particular episode on my list
of topics I want to cover for a really long
time now, and this morning I was meditating on how
to show up powerfully this week and what content was
most needed, and I got this really strong feeling that
(00:22):
now is the right time. So this episode is all
about how to choose the right Tarot and intuitive reader
for you. This is going to be a beautiful episode,
all about mindset pieces. I'm going to give you some
practical guidance and also some insight into my own practice
and teachings as well. Now you can use these to
help you to choose the right person for you. Now,
(00:44):
of course this is about Tarot and intuitive readers, but
you can also use this for you know, coaches, mentors,
anyone that you're sort of connecting to and you're wanting
to sort of book time with to help and support you. Okay,
so let's dive The reason this is so important is
I believe that a reading is a sacred experience. It's
(01:06):
something that you book because you want help, guidance and
support right. You want to feel better, get clearer, and
ultimately speaking, you want to move forward powerfully with a situation,
whether you're working on manifesting a goal or an intention,
whether you're navigating a challenge or an issue, whether you
want some clarity on a situation, or you just want
(01:28):
to be open to the right messages for you at
this time, Booking a reading is a beautiful way to
really show up for yourself, and it's also a gift
that you give yourself. Okay, And I put this episode
together for you to really, I guess remind you of that,
like how important booking Taro and intuitive readings, how important
(01:48):
that is for you, but also how to choose the
person that's right for you at this time. Something I'm
really passionate about is Taro and intuitive readers, you know,
really mastering their craft and showing up powerfully, but also
building skills and confidence to give magical readings. I run
a program called the Confident Reader Mastermind if you're new
(02:09):
to me and my work, and we go in depth
into how to understand the cards, how to give magical readings,
and how to really show up powerfully as a reader,
so that you're giving magical readings, you're trusting your intuition
and gifts, and your clients are coming away feeling empowered
and fabulous. And that's something I'm extremely grateful for. I
(02:30):
read for clients around the world, many of whom stay
with me for years. I have clients who've been with
me for such a long time because of the connection
that we have and the relationship that we have. And
I'm going to talk to you very shortly about how
you can sort of find the right person that you
can build that connection with as well, whether that connection
is one reading a few readings, a few months or years.
(02:53):
Having a reader that you trust and that you have
that connection with is such a sacred relationship to have
because it's someone that you can book time with, first
of all, as much as you like, but also you
know that you can always go to them and you
can trust them, and of course you can also get
that clarity, insight and guidance as well. So let's just
dive in the first piece I've got for you here
(03:14):
is someone that you like their style and their energy.
Now that sounds really obvious, right, like, of course, but
I want you to think about this. When you're booking
a reading with someone, you should like their energy and
their style. I see something on social media that I
find a little bit confusing sometimes. I mean, I'm being polite.
I think it's really off putting, to be honest, but
(03:36):
you see people getting involved in lots of drama, getting
involved in all these feuds and posting all these rants,
and then they'll be like, you know, click here for
a reading. I personally find that very messy energy, and
I would not want to connect with someone who is
like that. You should book a reading with someone who
has an energy that you want to connect to and
(03:56):
you want to let's say, learn from right. You should
like their style, you should like their energy, and you
should like their I don't want to say brand, but
I guess brand works. You should look at them as
a reader and as a person, and you should think,
I want to connect with that person. I like their
style and I like their energy. Now. Bonus piece forew
(04:17):
here is make sure that you know if they've got
videos online. Watch their videos, listen to their podcasts, listen
to their interviews, watch their lives, you know, connect to
their material. For example, a lot of my clients especially
new clients, will say to me, I've been watching your
videos for a while, I've been coming to your lives
for a while. I've been listening to your podcast for example,
(04:40):
on here, there's like seven years worth of episodes now
of readings and lessons. On my TikTok. There's hundreds of
videos of me doing readings. On my website, there's classes
and workshop recordings. You get the idea, right, Everyone who
books me books are reading with me will eventually say
I love your energy and I love watching you read
(05:00):
and now, of course I'm extremely grateful for that. That
means a lot to me, and I want you to
also feel the same. So if you're looking at booking someone,
watch their videos. If you watch their videos and you
like their energy, you like their style, great, then that's
a good sign for you. Right now, to my readers
who are listening, this is also a really good sign
(05:22):
for you to start doing videos and podcasts and content.
Not only is it great practice, but it also gives
people the opportunity to connect with you and of course
your energy and your teachings and your style as well. Now,
the next is another practical piece, but very important, especially
if you're going to someone for a tarot and intuitive reading,
(05:42):
make sure that they understand the cards and how to
read them. Anybody can google tarot card meanings. That is
not a reading. Anybody can like remember bullet points on flashcards.
That's not a reading. A true reader is someone who
has a deep and magical connection with all of the
cards in the Tarot deck. They know how to read them,
(06:03):
they know how to use them, and they can explain
the card to you in detail. If you watch my
videos on TikTok, if you listen to my podcast, which
obviously you do if you're on here, then here when
I read the cards, I go into the card in detail.
If you watch my videos, I explain the symbols in
the cards. Now inside the Confident Reader Mastermind, we do
(06:24):
tons of training and practice on building your connection with
your Tarot cards, with your Tarot cards and how to
understand the symbols and use them. Okay, So for my
readers who are listening, dive in if you want to
join us, the links are in the show notes. But
for those of you looking for a reader, looking for
someone who you want to connect with and book, try
and watch their content and listen to them and you'll
(06:47):
see pretty quickly, right, if they understand the cards and
how to read them. If they're giving very general meanings,
very vague meanings, or they're sort of not really answering
a question, then I personally would say that that person
you know might be well advised to maybe do some
more practice and some more learning, because it's really important
that when you book a reading with someone that you
(07:09):
trust and you know that they know what they're doing
for you. Now, the next adds on to that, and
it's someone who uses their gifts and uses their intuition. Okay,
uses their gifts and uses their intuition. I saw something
a while ago. I'm not going to say who it
was posted by, but it said you don't have to
be intuitive to give good Taro readings. I completely disagree.
(07:32):
Anybody can google meanings, anybody can memorize bullet points. Those
aren't readings. What makes a reading magical is the intuition
of the reader and the connection with the client. So
you want to be booking someone who is very comfortable
using their gifts and they know what their gifts are. Right.
For example, I'm deeply intuitive and deeply clairvoyant and clare
(07:55):
sentient and clare cognizant. So when I read cards for
a client, yes, of course I read the cards, I
explain them, might go into the story, but I also
use the cards to sort of I don't want to
say trigger, but like activate my other gifts as well.
Very often I'll tell my client what I can see,
what I can feel, what I know. You want to
book people who are comfortable using their gifts, not someone
(08:18):
who's saying I think maybe not, you know, you want
to be booking someone who's like a confident reader who
can share their gifts. Of course read the cards, but
they're they're comfortable in that role. It's really important. Next
piece that wasn't in my notes, but I feel like
I need to add this in is someone who also
(08:39):
someone who is directing the energy. And what I mean
by that is someone who is you know, running the
session right. They're not just sat there waiting for you
to ask questions and there's like an awkward silence. There's
someone who's comfortable managing the energy of the session, directing
the energy and the slow and also taking care of you.
I know some people won't like me to use that raise,
(09:00):
but I'm going to use it. Deliberately, someone who's sort
of taken care of you energetically. I often say to
my clients at the beginning of our sessions, this is
your time to of course receive a reading, but I'm
here to take you, know, take energetic care of you,
and I'm here to do the reading for you. You know,
you're in the right place at the right time. All right.
Next one is super important. I've actually underlined this, and
(09:24):
this is booking someone who will tell you what you
need to hear, over and above what you want to hear. Okay,
I'm going to say that again. Booking someone who will
tell you what you need to hear, over and above
what you want to hear. You know, readers who will
just enable you and tell you what you want to hear.
(09:44):
And oh my god, yeah, babe, he's obsessed with you. Babe,
he's your twin flame. Oh my god. Yeah, that's manifesting.
That's actually not a reading. That's well, it doesn't matter.
But you don't want to be booking people like that.
First of all, they're not really doing readings. They're just
kind of telling you what you want to hear. But
also it's not good for you when you get a reading,
and this is something I do in my sessions. I
(10:05):
always say to my clients, let's set the intention that
you connect to the messages that you most need. Now,
my style is quite blunt. To be honest, I'm extremely intuitive.
I'm very kind and I think you know, people say
I'm cheeky and funny, but I'm also very direct. So
when I do readings for clients, very often, you know,
I will tell them exactly what they need to hear. Yes,
(10:27):
I'll do it kindly. Yes, I'll do it with a
sense of grace and you know, sometimes humor. But I'm
not going to sit there and enable someone. Right if
they're asking me about a relationship and the cards and
my intuition are just screaming that this is really unhealthy
for them, I'm not going to turn around and go,
oh my god, baby, he's obsessed with you. And you
see people do this on social media and it's really unhelpful,
(10:48):
and I would say unhealthy. Right. That's also again not
a reading. Very often, the readers should be reflecting to
you things like questions, things to think about, and giving
you that guidance again above and beyond what you want
to hear. Now, for my readers listening inside the Confident
Reader Mastermind. We do tons of coaching on this, how
(11:09):
to really build your self trust so that you're telling
your clients what they need to hear, over and above
maybe what they want to hear. Right, you're coming out
of maybe people pleasing or permission seeking as a reader,
and you're in that place where you tell people what
they want to hear. I'm sorry, what they need to hear,
not what they want to hear. A lot of my
(11:30):
clients will say to me, for example, they love the
fact that I'm so blunt. Right. We have like a
joke with a lot of my students and I'll say,
if I can be blunt for a moment, I mean,
everyone knows I'm going to be, but you know, I
want you to really embrace that. Right. The more direct
you are as a reader, the blunter you are, the
more you actually serve your clients. If you're sat there
(11:51):
worrying about offending your client, hurting their feelings, they're not
liking you. You need a lot of coaching on that,
because again, that's not reading. So for those of you
who are listening and you're looking for readers, you want
to be sort of looking out of that. If someone's
very comfortable telling you what you need to hear, that
is a very very good sign as a reader. Now
(12:13):
adding to that, okay, adding to that is this next piece,
which I feel is the key to a reading, and
that's someone who puts you back in your power. Someone
who puts you back in your power. One of the
keys to a magical reading is to empower your client. So,
for example, in the Confident Reader Mastermind, I do multiple
(12:34):
sessions on this how to put your client back in
their power. One of the ways we do this is
in coaching the client to ask empowering questions. So, for example,
will my book be successful? It's not an empowered question
because it almost relies on fate. Yeah, babe, it will
be really successful. Next, that's not empowering anyone because it
(12:57):
implies that the client doesn't have to do anything. Instead,
I teach and practice saying to the client, let's look
at what you most need to know about making your
book successful. Let's look at what opportunities are around you.
Let's look at who you can reach out to. Let's
look at what you need to let go of. So
I want to add to that, a reader who's asking
(13:19):
you questions, They're involving you in the reading, they're engaging
with you, but they're putting you back in your power,
whether it's a relationship reading. You know, very often I
will tell clients, you know, we need to look at
taking your power back from this person. We need to
focus on you building your self worth, right if it's
money in abundance and prosperity, same thing. It's never a
(13:39):
case of oh yeah, that'll do really well. I always
encourage my clients to take their power back from sort
of fate or predictive readings and to get into like
what they can do about something. It's really important to
sort of make sure that the person you're going to
is also seeing you as powerful. Because if your reader
is likeabling you and they're just kind of giving you
(14:02):
these like, you know, slightly dismissive answers that are just
clearly what you want to hear over what you need
to hear, that actually doesn't help you, right, So you
should always be looking for a reader who puts you
back in your power. I get told that multiple times
a week by my clients. They'll say to me, you know,
thank you, I feel like this has really put me
(14:22):
back in my power and clear on what to do.
And that's kind of the next piece I've got for
you here, which is there should always be some kind
of practical step, action, or thing to do after the reading. Now,
that's something I do in all of my readings. I
teach this as a method inside Confident Reader. But I
always give my clients things they can do, whether it's
(14:43):
a cleansing bath, whether it's a candle spell, an affirmation,
a crystal to use, a class to listen to, you know,
going on a walk, a gratitude list, like whatever it is.
I always give my clients things they can go and
do after the reading to support what we've been reading on.
I would like you to really set the intention to
look for that as well in whoever you go to
(15:05):
for a taro and intuitive reading, because what you don't
want to be doing is just kind of sat there.
The reader just tells you maybe a bunch of things,
and then you'll kind of sat there afterwards, going great,
I've got no idea what to do with that. The
way I do my readings is always based on connecting
to the client what the client most needs, but again,
giving you, like practical things you can do as well
(15:26):
as of course magical things as well. And then the
next piece I would say is again very practical, but
also kind of an energy thing. Make sure that that
person has good experience. You know, I want to be
careful how I say this, but I would not recommend
booking somebody who is much much, much much younger than
(15:48):
you and clearly doesn't have like a lot of life
experience or experience as a reader, for a number of reasons.
Hopefully those reasons are obvious. But you want to be
going to someone who has life experienerience, right. They've lived,
they've been through things, they've achieved things, they've overcome things,
they've done things right. You want to go to someone
who understands life's ups and downs and life cycles, and
(16:11):
who's also been through their own challenges and navigated their
own situations and manifested their own goals. So make sure
that you follow their content. You know, you watch their videos,
you listen to them. I always you know, I always
laugh about this because a lot of people will talk
about how the emperor and the hermit both have a
(16:32):
gray beard, right, and that entaro symbolism indicates life wisdom
that cannot be bought or sort of hurried up right,
you can only achieve that through lived experience. And I
have a gray beard, right, So for those of you
who maybe haven't seen me, I have gray in my bid.
And what's quite funny is like as a Tara reader,
that's quite magical because one of my favorite cards in
(16:52):
the whole deck is the Emperor for a number of reasons.
But my point here is you should go to someone
who has life experience. They have a wisdom that they've gained,
and they have magical experience. Right, someone who's been reading
for a long time, they know what they're doing. They
can guide and support you. Of course I will end.
I will complete with I guess one final piece which
(17:14):
I'm feeling called to say as well. It's really important
to understand what a reading is for and what it's
not for. I do a lot of obviously videos on TikTok,
I do a lot of live sessions. People on certain
apps tend to come into a live session not even
say hello, and just type of question will this person
(17:36):
call me? Is this person thinking of me? Will this
person get back together with me? First of all, at
least have the manners to say hello, to a reader
right and be respectful and gracious like you would want
people to be to you. But that is not a reading.
Scrolling through social media wanting free dopamine hits from someone
pulling a card is not a reading. A reading is
(17:59):
engaging with that you feel a connection with, to receive
messages and guidance that you can use to move forward
powerfully in your life, manifest your goals and of course
manifest your intentions as well. So i'd encourage you to
really think about when you're booking a reading, making sure
that you understand as well that this is for you.
(18:20):
A reading is your time to connect to what you
most need to know and of course put you back
in your power as well. Now, as I said at
the beginning, all of these pieces are taken from the
Confident Reader Mastermind. So if you'd like to learn more
about how you can be a reader that people want
to connect with and book and build a relationship with,
definitely join the program. You can check out the links
(18:42):
in the show notes. If you're someone who's looking for
a reader, I hope this was helpful for you. Make
sure you send this to your friends and your colleagues, etc.
Who might also find this helpful, and if you'd like
to book a reading with me and you haven't already,
you can do that using the link in the show notes.
Final five or thought here is always trust your intuition. Yeah,
(19:03):
trust your intuition and know that a lot of what
a reading should also do is confirm your intuition to
a point. But a reading should always put you back
in your power. You should never feel like a reader
or the reading is some like magic key that you
don't have. The magic is always inside of you and
(19:24):
what a reading will do is bring that magic out
and of course help you to connect with it as well.
I'm sending you magic and blessings for a beautiful week
full of lots of good news, happy surprises, and smooth,
easy manifestations.
So this is going to be one of those episodes
that I start by saying, I've wanted to do this
for a while, and here it is, because that's exactly
the case. I've had this particular episode on my list
of topics I want to cover for a really long
time now, and this morning I was meditating on how
to show up powerfully this week and what content was
most needed, and I got this really strong feeling that
(00:22):
now is the right time. So this episode is all
about how to choose the right Tarot and intuitive reader
for you. This is going to be a beautiful episode,
all about mindset pieces. I'm going to give you some
practical guidance and also some insight into my own practice
and teachings as well. Now you can use these to
help you to choose the right person for you. Now,
(00:44):
of course this is about Tarot and intuitive readers, but
you can also use this for you know, coaches, mentors,
anyone that you're sort of connecting to and you're wanting
to sort of book time with to help and support you. Okay,
so let's dive The reason this is so important is
I believe that a reading is a sacred experience. It's
(01:06):
something that you book because you want help, guidance and
support right. You want to feel better, get clearer, and
ultimately speaking, you want to move forward powerfully with a situation,
whether you're working on manifesting a goal or an intention,
whether you're navigating a challenge or an issue, whether you
want some clarity on a situation, or you just want
(01:28):
to be open to the right messages for you at
this time, Booking a reading is a beautiful way to
really show up for yourself, and it's also a gift
that you give yourself. Okay, And I put this episode
together for you to really, I guess remind you of that,
like how important booking Taro and intuitive readings, how important
(01:48):
that is for you, but also how to choose the
person that's right for you at this time. Something I'm
really passionate about is Taro and intuitive readers, you know,
really mastering their craft and showing up powerfully, but also
building skills and confidence to give magical readings. I run

I'm going to talk to you very shortly about how
you can sort of find the right person that you

(02:53):
Having a reader that you trust and that you have

because it's someone that you can book time with, first
of all, as much as you like, but also you
know that you can always go to them and you
can trust them, and of course you can also get
that clarity, insight and guidance as well. So let's just
dive in the first piece I've got for you here
(03:14):
is someone that you like their style and their energy.
Now that sounds really obvious, right, like, of course, but
I want you to think about this. When you're booking
a reading with someone, you should like their energy and
their style. I see something on social media that I
find a little bit confusing sometimes. I mean, I'm being polite.
I think it's really off putting, to be honest, but
(03:36):
you see people getting involved in lots of drama, getting
involved in all these feuds and posting all these rants,
and then they'll be like, you know, click here for
a reading. I personally find that very messy energy, and
I would not want to connect with someone who is
like that. You should book a reading with someone who
has an energy that you want to connect to and
(03:56):
you want to let's say, learn from right. You should
like their style, you should like their energy, and you
should like their I don't want to say brand, but
I guess brand works. You should look at them as
a reader and as a person, and you should think,
I want to connect with that person. I like their
style and I like their energy. Now. Bonus piece forew
(04:17):
here is make sure that you know if they've got
videos online. Watch their videos, listen to their podcasts, listen
to their interviews, watch their lives, you know, connect to
their material. For example, a lot of my clients especially
new clients, will say to me, I've been watching your
videos for a while, I've been coming to your lives
for a while. I've been listening to your podcast for example,
(04:40):
on here, there's like seven years worth of episodes now
of readings and lessons. On my TikTok. There's hundreds of
videos of me doing readings. On my website, there's classes
and workshop recordings. You get the idea, right, Everyone who
books me books are reading with me will eventually say
I love your energy and I love watching you read
(05:00):
and now, of course I'm extremely grateful for that. That
means a lot to me, and I want you to
also feel the same. So if you're looking at booking someone,
watch their videos. If you watch their videos and you
like their energy, you like their style, great, then that's
a good sign for you. Right now, to my readers
who are listening, this is also a really good sign
(05:22):
for you to start doing videos and podcasts and content.
Not only is it great practice, but it also gives
people the opportunity to connect with you and of course
your energy and your teachings and your style as well. Now,
the next is another practical piece, but very important, especially
if you're going to someone for a tarot and intuitive reading,
(05:42):
make sure that they understand the cards and how to
read them. Anybody can google tarot card meanings. That is
not a reading. Anybody can like remember bullet points on flashcards.
That's not a reading. A true reader is someone who
has a deep and magical connection with all of the
cards in the Tarot deck. They know how to read them,
(06:03):
they know how to use them, and they can explain
the card to you in detail. If you watch my
videos on TikTok, if you listen to my podcast, which
obviously you do if you're on here, then here when
I read the cards, I go into the card in detail.
If you watch my videos, I explain the symbols in
the cards. Now inside the Confident Reader Mastermind, we do
(06:24):
tons of training and practice on building your connection with
your Tarot cards, with your Tarot cards and how to
understand the symbols and use them. Okay, So for my
readers who are listening, dive in if you want to
join us, the links are in the show notes. But
for those of you looking for a reader, looking for
someone who you want to connect with and book, try
and watch their content and listen to them and you'll
(06:47):
see pretty quickly, right, if they understand the cards and
how to read them. If they're giving very general meanings,
very vague meanings, or they're sort of not really answering
a question, then I personally would say that that person
you know might be well advised to maybe do some
more practice and some more learning, because it's really important
that when you book a reading with someone that you
(07:09):
trust and you know that they know what they're doing
for you. Now, the next adds on to that, and
it's someone who uses their gifts and uses their intuition. Okay,
uses their gifts and uses their intuition. I saw something
a while ago. I'm not going to say who it
was posted by, but it said you don't have to
be intuitive to give good Taro readings. I completely disagree.
(07:32):
Anybody can google meanings, anybody can memorize bullet points. Those
aren't readings. What makes a reading magical is the intuition
of the reader and the connection with the client. So
you want to be booking someone who is very comfortable
using their gifts and they know what their gifts are. Right.
For example, I'm deeply intuitive and deeply clairvoyant and clare
(07:55):
sentient and clare cognizant. So when I read cards for
a client, yes, of course I read the cards, I
explain them, might go into the story, but I also
use the cards to sort of I don't want to
say trigger, but like activate my other gifts as well.
Very often I'll tell my client what I can see,
what I can feel, what I know. You want to
book people who are comfortable using their gifts, not someone
(08:18):
who's saying I think maybe not, you know, you want
to be booking someone who's like a confident reader who
can share their gifts. Of course read the cards, but
they're they're comfortable in that role. It's really important. Next
piece that wasn't in my notes, but I feel like
I need to add this in is someone who also
(08:39):
someone who is directing the energy. And what I mean
by that is someone who is you know, running the
session right. They're not just sat there waiting for you
to ask questions and there's like an awkward silence. There's
someone who's comfortable managing the energy of the session, directing
the energy and the slow and also taking care of you.
I know some people won't like me to use that raise,
(09:00):
but I'm going to use it. Deliberately, someone who's sort
of taken care of you energetically. I often say to
my clients at the beginning of our sessions, this is
your time to of course receive a reading, but I'm
here to take you, know, take energetic care of you,
and I'm here to do the reading for you. You know,
you're in the right place at the right time. All right.
Next one is super important. I've actually underlined this, and
(09:24):
this is booking someone who will tell you what you
need to hear, over and above what you want to hear. Okay,
I'm going to say that again. Booking someone who will
tell you what you need to hear, over and above
what you want to hear. You know, readers who will
just enable you and tell you what you want to hear.
(09:44):
And oh my god, yeah, babe, he's obsessed with you. Babe,
he's your twin flame. Oh my god. Yeah, that's manifesting.
That's actually not a reading. That's well, it doesn't matter.
But you don't want to be booking people like that.
First of all, they're not really doing readings. They're just
kind of telling you what you want to hear. But
also it's not good for you when you get a reading,
and this is something I do in my sessions. I
(10:05):
always say to my clients, let's set the intention that
you connect to the messages that you most need. Now,
my style is quite blunt. To be honest, I'm extremely intuitive.
I'm very kind and I think you know, people say
I'm cheeky and funny, but I'm also very direct. So
when I do readings for clients, very often, you know,
I will tell them exactly what they need to hear. Yes,
(10:27):
I'll do it kindly. Yes, I'll do it with a
sense of grace and you know, sometimes humor. But I'm
not going to sit there and enable someone. Right if
they're asking me about a relationship and the cards and
my intuition are just screaming that this is really unhealthy
for them, I'm not going to turn around and go,
oh my god, baby, he's obsessed with you. And you
see people do this on social media and it's really unhelpful,
(10:48):
and I would say unhealthy. Right. That's also again not
a reading. Very often, the readers should be reflecting to
you things like questions, things to think about, and giving
you that guidance again above and beyond what you want
to hear. Now, for my readers listening inside the Confident
Reader Mastermind. We do tons of coaching on this, how
(11:09):
to really build your self trust so that you're telling
your clients what they need to hear, over and above
maybe what they want to hear. Right, you're coming out
of maybe people pleasing or permission seeking as a reader,
and you're in that place where you tell people what
they want to hear. I'm sorry, what they need to hear,
not what they want to hear. A lot of my
(11:30):
clients will say to me, for example, they love the
fact that I'm so blunt. Right. We have like a
joke with a lot of my students and I'll say,
if I can be blunt for a moment, I mean,
everyone knows I'm going to be, but you know, I
want you to really embrace that. Right. The more direct
you are as a reader, the blunter you are, the
more you actually serve your clients. If you're sat there
(11:51):
worrying about offending your client, hurting their feelings, they're not
liking you. You need a lot of coaching on that,
because again, that's not reading. So for those of you
who are listening and you're looking for readers, you want
to be sort of looking out of that. If someone's
very comfortable telling you what you need to hear, that
is a very very good sign as a reader. Now
(12:13):
adding to that, okay, adding to that is this next piece,
which I feel is the key to a reading, and
that's someone who puts you back in your power. Someone
who puts you back in your power. One of the
keys to a magical reading is to empower your client. So,
for example, in the Confident Reader Mastermind, I do multiple
(12:34):
sessions on this how to put your client back in
their power. One of the ways we do this is
in coaching the client to ask empowering questions. So, for example,
will my book be successful? It's not an empowered question
because it almost relies on fate. Yeah, babe, it will
be really successful. Next, that's not empowering anyone because it
(12:57):
implies that the client doesn't have to do anything. Instead,
I teach and practice saying to the client, let's look
at what you most need to know about making your
book successful. Let's look at what opportunities are around you.
Let's look at who you can reach out to. Let's
look at what you need to let go of. So
I want to add to that, a reader who's asking
(13:19):
you questions, They're involving you in the reading, they're engaging
with you, but they're putting you back in your power,
whether it's a relationship reading. You know, very often I
will tell clients, you know, we need to look at
taking your power back from this person. We need to
focus on you building your self worth, right if it's
money in abundance and prosperity, same thing. It's never a
(13:39):
case of oh yeah, that'll do really well. I always
encourage my clients to take their power back from sort
of fate or predictive readings and to get into like
what they can do about something. It's really important to
sort of make sure that the person you're going to
is also seeing you as powerful. Because if your reader
is likeabling you and they're just kind of giving you
(14:02):
these like, you know, slightly dismissive answers that are just
clearly what you want to hear over what you need
to hear, that actually doesn't help you, right, So you
should always be looking for a reader who puts you
back in your power. I get told that multiple times
a week by my clients. They'll say to me, you know,
thank you, I feel like this has really put me
(14:22):
back in my power and clear on what to do.
And that's kind of the next piece I've got for
you here, which is there should always be some kind
of practical step, action, or thing to do after the reading. Now,
that's something I do in all of my readings. I
teach this as a method inside Confident Reader. But I
always give my clients things they can do, whether it's
(14:43):
a cleansing bath, whether it's a candle spell, an affirmation,
a crystal to use, a class to listen to, you know,
going on a walk, a gratitude list, like whatever it is.
I always give my clients things they can go and
do after the reading to support what we've been reading on.
I would like you to really set the intention to
look for that as well in whoever you go to
(15:05):
for a taro and intuitive reading, because what you don't
want to be doing is just kind of sat there.
The reader just tells you maybe a bunch of things,
and then you'll kind of sat there afterwards, going great,
I've got no idea what to do with that. The
way I do my readings is always based on connecting
to the client what the client most needs, but again,
giving you, like practical things you can do as well
(15:26):
as of course magical things as well. And then the
next piece I would say is again very practical, but
also kind of an energy thing. Make sure that that
person has good experience. You know, I want to be
careful how I say this, but I would not recommend
booking somebody who is much much, much much younger than
(15:48):
you and clearly doesn't have like a lot of life
experience or experience as a reader, for a number of reasons.
Hopefully those reasons are obvious. But you want to be
going to someone who has life experienerience, right. They've lived,
they've been through things, they've achieved things, they've overcome things,
they've done things right. You want to go to someone
who understands life's ups and downs and life cycles, and
(16:11):
who's also been through their own challenges and navigated their
own situations and manifested their own goals. So make sure
that you follow their content. You know, you watch their videos,
you listen to them. I always you know, I always
laugh about this because a lot of people will talk
about how the emperor and the hermit both have a
(16:32):
gray beard, right, and that entaro symbolism indicates life wisdom
that cannot be bought or sort of hurried up right,
you can only achieve that through lived experience. And I
have a gray beard, right, So for those of you
who maybe haven't seen me, I have gray in my bid.
And what's quite funny is like as a Tara reader,
that's quite magical because one of my favorite cards in
(16:52):
the whole deck is the Emperor for a number of reasons.
But my point here is you should go to someone
who has life experience. They have a wisdom that they've gained,
and they have magical experience. Right, someone who's been reading
for a long time, they know what they're doing. They
can guide and support you. Of course I will end.
I will complete with I guess one final piece which
(17:14):
I'm feeling called to say as well. It's really important
to understand what a reading is for and what it's
not for. I do a lot of obviously videos on TikTok,
I do a lot of live sessions. People on certain
apps tend to come into a live session not even
say hello, and just type of question will this person
(17:36):
call me? Is this person thinking of me? Will this
person get back together with me? First of all, at
least have the manners to say hello, to a reader
right and be respectful and gracious like you would want
people to be to you. But that is not a reading.
Scrolling through social media wanting free dopamine hits from someone
pulling a card is not a reading. A reading is
(17:59):
engaging with that you feel a connection with, to receive
messages and guidance that you can use to move forward
powerfully in your life, manifest your goals and of course
manifest your intentions as well. So i'd encourage you to
really think about when you're booking a reading, making sure
that you understand as well that this is for you.
(18:20):
A reading is your time to connect to what you
most need to know and of course put you back
in your power as well. Now, as I said at
the beginning, all of these pieces are taken from the
Confident Reader Mastermind. So if you'd like to learn more
about how you can be a reader that people want
to connect with and book and build a relationship with,
definitely join the program. You can check out the links
(18:42):
in the show notes. If you're someone who's looking for
a reader, I hope this was helpful for you. Make
sure you send this to your friends and your colleagues, etc.
Who might also find this helpful, and if you'd like
to book a reading with me and you haven't already,
you can do that using the link in the show notes.
Final five or thought here is always trust your intuition. Yeah,
(19:03):
trust your intuition and know that a lot of what
a reading should also do is confirm your intuition to
a point. But a reading should always put you back
in your power. You should never feel like a reader
or the reading is some like magic key that you
don't have. The magic is always inside of you and
(19:24):
what a reading will do is bring that magic out
and of course help you to connect with it as well.
I'm sending you magic and blessings for a beautiful week
full of lots of good news, happy surprises, and smooth,
easy manifestations.
