Before embarking on this transformative journey to where I am now, my life felt like a  monotonous routine, a series of days that blurred together. The weight of existence overshadowed any sense of purpose or joy. I had my own transcription business, working from home, but I found myself caught in a relentless cycle, working tirelessly, day-in, day-out, every day feeling much the same, and using my work to shield me from the underlying discontent that had settled within, Looking back, I can see how I buried myself in work in order to drown out the voice of my own unhappiness. I was adrift, feeling like there must be more to life, and lacking direction and a deeper understanding of who I truly was in the grand tapestry of life, what my place was in the bigger picture.

And then, like a glimmer of light in the darkness, I rediscovered tarot. It was the catalyst that ignited a profound shift within me. Tarot became more than just a deck of cards; it became a tool of self-discovery and empowerment. Guided by the symbolism of the cards, I embarked on a personal journey of introspection. I delved deep into each card, allowing their meanings to intertwine with my own experiences, meditating on what the card meant to me, what lessons it had to give me, the gifts and the challenges. Through this process, I began to break down the barriers of negativity and self-doubt that had held me captive for so long.
