There are things in our lives that have been there for so long we can't imagine life without them, whether it's a relationship, a job, or even a particular way of doing things. What will life look like without capitalism, for example? What are new ways of interacting with each other?
Sometimes this thing can be what holds you back, what weighs you down or keeps you small. Other times, it can be the thing that asks you to rise to the challenge, to grow and evolve. How do you discern between the two? Or better yet: are we even paying attention to these things in our lives at all?
In this week's episode, the King of Swords offers us insight on this dilemma, inviting us to connect our book knowledge with our spiritual and emotional intelligence. Tune in to hear– in real time how– I come to a decision about the podcast, thanks to this tarot card.
