Living Tarot

On episode 35 of Living Tarot, I interview my friend Maureen Rozanski ( @thepeacefullyproductive ) . Maureen is a unique mix of lawyer mind and life coach heart. After nearly 10 years of ignoring her intuition and practicing law, she pivoted into more meaningful, heart-centered work and founded The Peacefully Productive, a coaching practice specializing in supporting disconnected professionals to reclaim motivation, unearth clarity and gain a sense of peacefulness in all they do and all they are.

While her intuition has scared the crap out of her and made her question her own sanity, she believes it to now be a powerful, healing tool for herself and others. Developing her intuitive abilities has allowed Maureen to become an impactful coach, a more mindful friend and partner, and, in her opinion, a way less controlling and anxious human being.

She believes her intuition is meant to be used to lift others up, create meaningful connections and to figure out how to live life most authentically - even when that means living in ambiguity or discomfort.

• We speak about the importance of using intuition in whatever work you're doing. We discuss how Maureen's background as a lawyer led her to ultimately burnout and learn to pay attention to the cues that she was getting from her body and her energy.
• We discuss how Maureen's coaching practice has evolved to help in clients define what productivity is for them.
• We talk all about what it means to redefine productivity for yourself away from the paradigms that the rest of the world creates.
• Maureen talks about how she uses both her practical experience and her intuition in client sessions.
• She also discusses her experience of developing intuition and vacillating between trusting it and struggling to believe what she was experiencing.

So much of Maureen's journey echoes my own and that of many other intuitives who are growing their skills and learning to trust the sometimes crazy insights they gain. I hope this episode will serve to calm the worries of anyone going through their own spiritual awakening And also to challenge the ideas that we all have about what it means to be productive, how to redefine productivity, and how to empower yourself with your intuition.

On Episode 27 of Living Tarot, I interview my friend, Chauna Byrant. Chauna is an energy worker, and movement guide. Originally from Southern California, Chauna now resides in Washington DC. Chauna leads breathwork meditation and teaches pilates full-time. Chauna believes in living life to the fullest and helps clients and groups alike discover their inner strength and feel more alive! I have had the immense pleasure of participating in breathwork led by Chauna and have found it to be a powerfully moving experience. Chauna is a master of holding space.

• Chauna discusses what led her to breathwork and how she began her journey of healing.
• She discusses some common misunderstandings and misconceptions about breathwork.
• We both share how our healing practices have changed and shifted since moving into the online space during the pandemic.
• Chauna also share about her experience of parting ways with the breathwork lineage of her breathwork teacher and the responsibility that we all have as healing facilitators and students to hold our teachers accountable.
• Chauna shares some of the bright points that she has had through a challenging year and we both discuss the importance of tending to your own healing as someone who holds space for others healing.

This is a very vulnerable episode where we discuss the importance of recognizing power dynamics in healing work and the responsibility that we have to call people in for equity and accountability. Healing work extends beyond just the session to session work and expands out into other areas of our lives and as healing arts facilitators we have a responsibility to do bring that healing into our communities through our activism.

On episode 29, I speak with Angie Flynn-McIver ( @ignitecsp ). Angie Flynn-McIver is a leadership coach via a long career as a theatre director. Angie likes to describe her work in both areas as being a "detective of human behavior." Now as the leader of her own coaching company, Ignite CSP, Angie relies on her experience and intuition to make decisions about business, growth, personnel, and even how to select the ideal client. Her book, "Before You Say Anything," is coming out in spring of 2021. Angie and I discuss the importance of authentic communication. Communication is so much more than just what you're saying, it's how you say it, when you say it, and what information you deliver along with it. Angie uses her own brand of intuitive gifts to guide clients both one-on-one and in small group work, towards the most effective way to communicate presentations, ideas, or products.

• Angie talks about how intuition shows up in her communication coaching work.
• Angie explains what it means to be a detective of human behavior and how it helps her investigate and empower the underlying motivations of her clients.
• We discuss how Angie's backgrounds in theater led her to a greater understanding of the importance of effective communication and how it shows up in all areas of life.
• Angie shares some of the ways that intuition has guided her as an entrepreneur and helped her to bring her knowledge and coaching to a broader audience with amazing results.
• We also talk about the pitfalls of ignoring intuition in business and building wisdom through that experience.
• Finally I explain how Angie is an embodiment of the chariot card and the page of swords.

Communication affects every area of our lives and can greatly improve our interpersonal relationships and our career prospects.
