The Biddy Tarot Podcast: Tarot | Intuition | Empowerment

If you've been listening to this series, you'll know that we, as Tarot readers, are at a turning point. AI can generate card meanings and entire readings in seconds. Free information is everywhere. And the gap between a genuine reader and a convincing fake is becoming harder to see. So we have a choice. We can keep doing things the way we always have and risk becoming irrelevant. Or we can answer the call to become something more. More intuitive. More human. More discerning. And more capable of helping people find clarity, reconnect with their own wisdom and make empowered choices. This is what I see as the rise of the Trusted Tarot Advisor. Throughout this special 7-part series, we've explored what that evolution requires - moving beyond memorized meanings, developing intuition, creating real human connection, shifting from prediction to transformation, holding this work with ethics and professionalism, and recognizing the true value of the reading experience. And in this final episode, we're bringing it all

If AI can generate a Tarot reading in seconds and card meanings are available everywhere for free, why would anyone pay more for a human Tarot reading? It's easy to assume that the value of Tarot readings is going down. But that is only true if what you're offering is information. When you bring intuition, presence, human connection, trust and real transformation into your readings, you're creating something that cannot be easily copied or generated. You're creating an experience. And that experience may be far more valuable than you realize. Yet many Tarot readers still struggle to charge accordingly. They worry that charging for their spiritual gifts is greedy, that meaningful work should be freely given or that keeping their prices low makes them more caring and accessible. In this sixth episode of our special 7-part series, we're exploring what makes a Tarot reading genuinely valuable, why your pricing may still reflect an earlier version of you and how to create a fair and sustainable exchange for the ex

Right now, almost anyone can call themselves a professional Tarot reader. They can create an online presence, publish insightful-sounding content and generate personalized readings for paying clients - all using AI. From the outside, it may be almost impossible to tell how much genuine skill or experience sits behind what you see. As more of our online world becomes artificial, clients will no longer be asking only, "Can this person give me a Tarot reading?" They'll also be asking: "Is this person real?" "Do they actually know what they're talking about?" "Can I trust the guidance they're giving me?" Trust is becoming one of the most important ways a Tarot reader can stand apart. But trust isn't created through a polished website or a confident bio. It's built through how you show up, how you hold the reading and how seriously you take the responsibility that comes with guiding another person. In this fifth episode of our special 7-part series, we're exploring the three qualities that make a Tarot reader genu

For generations, Tarot was treated like a crystal ball. You asked what was going to happen, the reader interpreted the cards, and you waited to see whether the prediction came true. But Tarot is evolving. Today, people don't just want a glimpse of the future. They want to understand what's shaping it. They want to recognize the patterns influencing their choices, see where their power lies and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. This changes everything. Tarot is shifting from a tool that predicts your future into one that helps you consciously create it. And the role of the Tarot reader is changing with it. Our job is no longer to deliver answers from a position of authority. It's to help people see what they couldn't see before, reconnect with their own wisdom and make empowered choices about what happens next. In this fourth episode of our special 7-part series, we're exploring how to move beyond prediction and create Tarot readings that don't simply tell people what might happen - they help p

In a world that is becoming increasingly artificial and automated, people are craving something technology cannot truly replicate - real human connection. Not more information. Not another perfectly polished response generated in seconds. But the feeling that someone is fully present with you. That they're listening not only to what you're saying, but to what sits underneath it. That they notice the hesitation in your voice, the emotion you're holding back or the question you're not quite ready to ask. And I believe this is becoming one of the most valuable things a Tarot reader can offer. The cards may help bring a situation into view. But it's often the connection between you and the person receiving the reading that allows the deeper truth to emerge. In this third episode of our special 7-part series, we're exploring what genuine human connection looks like inside a Tarot reading - and how presence, deep listening, thoughtful questions and holding space can transform the experience you create.

When I first started learning Tarot, I thought becoming a good reader meant learning all 78 cards and recalling the right meaning at the right time. But knowing a card's meaning and knowing how to read it are not the same thing. A definition can tell you what the Four of Pentacles traditionally represents. A skilled reader can recognize why it has appeared for this person, in this situation, right now. That's where knowledge becomes insight. As Tarot information becomes instantly available to everyone, card meanings will remain the foundation. But your ability to bring intuition, context and discernment to those meanings is what will set you apart. In this second episode of our special 7-part series, we're exploring how to move beyond textbook interpretations and deliver readings that feel specific, relevant and genuinely useful. Episode Highlights In this episode, you'll discover: [00:29] Why memorising all 78 Tarot card meanings can only take your readings so far [01:39] What AI's Tarot knowledge means

AI can pull the cards, interpret the spread and deliver personalized guidance in seconds. So why would anyone still pay a human Tarot reader? That's the question every Tarot reader needs to be asking right now. Because if your value comes from knowing what the cards mean, AI has already caught up. It knows every card. Every symbol. Every traditional interpretation. And it can generate a reading faster and cheaper than any human ever could. But knowing the cards was never the whole value of a great Tarot reading. The real value is in what happens around the cards. It's how you listen for what isn't being said. The questions you ask. The truth you gently bring into the light. The space you hold when emotions rise. And the way you help someone stop looking outside themselves for answers and reconnect with their own wisdom. AI isn't bringing an end to human Tarot reading. It's raising the standard. Across this special 7-part series, we'll explore what that new standard looks like, how the world of Tarot is changi

Have you ever had one of your wildest dreams actually come true?

Have you ever pulled a Major Arcana card and noticed its message playing out in your life for days—or even weeks—after? Here’s why… Each of the 22 Major Arcana archetypes highlight major themes that occur throughout our lives. When we tap into those themes, we start seeing how they show up for us in reality… which helps us see ourselves more clearly. And when we’re able to feel seen and witnessed through the lessons of the cards, we can then take action to make positive change. Healer and Tarot practitioner Chelsey May Orsmond has built a thriving business around helping people transform their lives through Tarot in this way. In our conversation together, Chelsey shares with me how she harnesses the Major Arcana as a potent tool for personal growth and development.

Have you ever wondered why you’re drawn to certain interests in life? Or why you continue to play out the same behavioral patterns over and over again? The answer could be in your past lives! In this very special interview, I sit down to chat with hypnosis practitioner Jennifer Schlueter about two topics very close to my heart––hypnosis and past life regression.

If you've ever experienced burnout…  Or feel like you're constantly striving because you think you have to hustle to achieve your goals… I have some good news! There’s a better way.  You don’t have to push hard and force your way to success, despite what society tells us.    In fact, we can actually achieve a lot MORE by harmonizing with the natural rhythms––like the seasons, the menstrual cycle, and the monthly lunar cycle. Because when we do this, we feel calmer, more balanced, and have more energy. And what do all of these cycles have in common? They have periods of GROWTH followed by REST. As humans, we are not immune to these cycles (as much as we hate to admit it!). So the natural cycles encourage us not only to take action… but also to take intentional rest so we can bring our goals to life in a more sustainable way.  For years, I’ve been manifesting with the guidance of the lunar cycles. And I love this practice so much that I’ve created a Tarot spread around manifesting with the moon!  Tune in for:

Sometimes, our soul’s desires just won’t leave us alone until we listen to them. This was what happened for Certified Biddy Tarot Advisor Monica Vejar when she first discovered Tarot as a teen. Having grown up in a religious household, she thought Tarot was “wrong” and “evil”... but she kept feeling a strong pull to keep learning about it. Once she started actually working with the cards, she realized they could be an important ally for personal growth and mental health. Now, Monica reads Tarot for hundreds of people to help them overcome their own struggles––and is even working with her best friend on a podcast about Tarot and mental health.  And it all happened because she was willing to listen to her inner wisdom over her limiting beliefs.

Have you ever wondered where Tarot came from? I mean, where it really came from? Like many parts of history, Tarot has a shadowy past––and unsung heroines who haven’t received their rightful credit for its rise. Luckily, artist and writer Cat Willett was inspired to dive into Tarot’s origins… and is now sharing the truth about the women behind Tarot with the world.  In this fascinating interview, Cat and I dig deep into the reality of the women who pushed Tarot’s forward, the gender divide in Tarot, how we’re taking our intuitive power back as women, and so much more!

Do you feel like you’re here for a reason - but aren’t sure what it is? Nicole, a Certified Biddy Tarot Advisor, felt the same way for most of her life… Until her mother’s passing in 2021, when she underwent an intense and introspective spiritual awakening. During this time, Nicole remembered that when she was a little girl, she wanted to be a school teacher. And after her awakening, she stepped into a role as a spiritual teacher. Not only does Nicole now read Tarot professionally, but she is also a gifted Reiki Master, intuitive psychic, medium, and sound healer. So while she isn’t a school teacher like she’d envisioned, she teaches in different ways. She teaches women how to relax. How to be in their bodies. How to reconnect with their deceased loved ones. And she finally feels like she’s living out the purpose she manifested for herself as a child. If you’ve been feeling frustrated lately about what you’re here to do, I encourage you to press play on this one - I trust that it will bring you hope
