    Ep. 08 - Tarot & Manifestation with Meghan Rose

    On this episode we have Meghan Rose dropping her gems of wisdom on everything Tarot & Manifestation. That's right - we're digging into the cards and also dipping into her trajectory of escaping the 9-5 and blazing her own trail in Spirituality and Wellness. Meghan's story is fascinating. She grew up catholic on the east coast and now she has a full time career in Tarot - a profession she never saw coming. She now does the monthly tarotscopes for Glamour Magazine, provides personal and group tarot sessions, and hosts her virtual Tarot Manifestation Meditation class weekly. What I love about Meghan is that she has this awesome mix of being grounded, unafraid to explore the nitty gritty, yet has a lightness about her. When she reads your cards, you feel like you're at a slumber party with a reallyyy wise friend. That's her vibe, and I know you're going to love her. And Idk about you, but I find Tarot to be fascinating, fun, and insightful. We get into how you can use tarot to help you predict future outcomes, bring clarity to the present moment, and ultimately how you can use it to shed light on and break toxic patterns and cycles you may be experiencing in your life.
