    Episode 38: Tarot, Writing, and Healing with Tam Dillon

    Tarot, Writing, and Evolving Editions with Tam Dillon | Word Witch PodcastDomenica Million interviews author and mentor Tam Dillon about tarot as an intuitive, symbolic tool (not Hollywood-style fate prediction), and how her book The Art of Tarot evolved through multiple editions as her work expanded. They tackle a common author fear: outgrowing what you once wrote, and explain why new editions (or new books) are a natural evolution. Tam shares how journaling helped her draft her memoir quickly, why storytelling can be deeply healing, and how publishing boosts credibility and business opportunities beyond book sales.00:00 Meet Tam Dillon01:08 Why This Episode Matters03:36 Podcast Intro and Promise04:31 The Procrastination Loop06:44 Free Book Formula Offer08:13 Tam’s Work and Who She Serves09:37 Mentoring Pillars and Process13:25 Spiritual Roots and Influences17:49 How The Art of Tarot Began21:01 Tarot Myths and Hollywood23:19 Reading Tarot Through Symbols25:27 Editions Evolve Your Work27:59 Tarot Traditions Explained30:34 Writing Your Unique Angle35:55 Memoir Walking With the Fool41:01 Memoir Impact and Rewrites42:35 Writing as Healing Journey48:13 Storytelling Roots and Survival50:07 Journals to First Draft55:33 Why Expand the Memoir58:52 Tarot Archetypes and Authorship01:06:46 Publishing and Editorial Support01:09:14 Healing Writers Wounds01:15:37 Book ROI and Credibility Vellum: https://store.vellum.pub?via=wordwitch Plottr: plottr.com/?ref=wordwitch Newsletter: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/oOFkxT0bpWYupwm06Qp3 Bestselling Book Formula: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/NIklZwPdbBSImNEFRiAWHow to Write a Bestselling Personal Development Book workshop Interest List: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/hnIsnfFnIpI3HgXhRde4Dark Literature Academy Interest List: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/ZGxwVBAXom4bHeU7Z4mWApply to Be On the Show: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/fW3j3IbmtWHGXPMcor9OConnect with Word Witch: https://bio.site/Wordwitchcc Connect with Tam: Practitioner Assessment Call - https://tidycal.com/tamdillon/practitioner-assessment-callWebsite - https://tamdillon.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheTamDillonFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheTamDillonFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588165124387Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the.tam.dillonSkool - https://www.skool.com/tam-dillon-academy-1869Critical Mass - Global CollectiveWebsite - https://criticalmass.communityYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@criticalmasscommunityFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575497134793Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/criticalmass_community/

    Episode 37: The Power of Creative Entrepreneurship With Kimberlee Smith

    On the Word Witch podcast, host Domenica Million interviews her friend Kimberlee “Kim” Nicole Smith, founder and managing director of the Tenacious Rose Project, a creative lab producing digital content to elevate socially engaged artists and “creative-minded change makers” working toward social justice. Kimberlee expands “artist” beyond traditional mediums to include educators, organizers, researchers, and entrepreneurs, describing entrepreneurship as creative problem-solving and a way of being. She highlights poet and nonprofit leader Hannah Drake’s “Release the Names” riverbank installation in Louisville, honoring enslaved people who crossed to freedom, which prompted descendants of enslavers to share names. Kimberlee shares how she supported Drake through talent management and confidence-building around negotiation and value. They discuss performative storytelling, audience interpretation, Kimberlee’s reluctance to write a book due to revisiting painful memories, and writing as a potentially healing practice. 00:00 Welcome And Introductions 01:36 Tenacious Rose Project 02:37 Who Counts As Creative 05:54 The Creative Calling08:19 Entrepreneurship As Art 09:40 Change Maker Story Hannah Drake 15:09 Supporting Artists Behind the Scenes 19:24 Pricing And Artist Value 22:38 Kim Journey To Integration 25:34 Storytelling And The Book Question 26:43 Stories That Connect 27:53 Finding The Lesson 30:20 Crafting A Stage Story 32:12 Regular Black Reveal 33:53 Audience Hears Differently 35:57 Why Writing Feels Hard 37:51 Coaching Through The Block 43:25 Cosmic Joke And Courage 45:25 Loneliness And Belonging 47:49 Closing And Next Steps Links Vellum: https://store.vellum.pub?via=wordwitch Newsletter: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/oOFkxT0bpWYupwm06Qp3Bestselling Book Formula: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/NIklZwPdbBSImNEFRiAW How to Write a Bestselling Personal Development Book workshop interest list: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/hnIsnfFnIpI3HgXhRde4 Dark Literature Academy Interest List: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/ZGxwVBAXom4bHeU7Z4mW Apply to be on the show: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/fW3j3IbmtWHGXPMcor9O Connect with Kimberlee Smith: https://www.kimberleenicolesmith.com/thetenaciousroseproject Connect with Word Witch: https://bio.site/Wordwitchcc

    Episode 36: I'm Back For Season Two!

    Season 2 Updates: New Podcast Direction, Layoff Life Update, and Adding Dark LiteratureDomenica Million returns for season two of the Word Witch podcast after feeling burnt out from recording and editing, sharing that she was laid off on April 16, 2026, and is now working full-time in her Word Witch business while continuing personal projects like her debut novel planned for later this year. She outlines changes to the show: future guests will be more aligned with a writing-focused podcast (often book authors, alongside business experts and publishing professionals), she’ll add more solo episodes on writing craft, release strategies, business strategies, and other industry content, and she’ll share more of her spiritual beliefs and practices, inviting topic requests via email. She also adds “dark literature” to her offer suite—covering genres like horror, dark fantasy, gothic, dystopia, and more—explaining its focus on shadow themes and how episodes will be clearly labeled with distinct icon colors and titles. 00:00 Vellum Formatting Sponsor01:48 Podcast Welcome and Mission02:42 Stuck in the Writing Loop04:53 Clarity With Book Formula06:22 Season Two Returns06:53 Laid Off Life Update08:41 New Podcast Format10:39 Introducing Dark Literature14:43 How Episodes Are Labeled16:06 Monetization Goals and Promise18:03 Ads Versus Sponsorships21:10 Share Review and Gift21:55 Release Schedule and Wrap22:29 Final Outro and Subscribe Links Vellum: https://store.vellum.pub?via=wordwitch Plottr: plottr.com/?ref=wordwitch Newsletter: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/oOFkxT0bpWYupwm06Qp3Bestselling Book Formula: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/NIklZwPdbBSImNEFRiAWHow to Write a Bestselling Personal Development Book workshop Interest List: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/hnIsnfFnIpI3HgXhRde4Dark Literature Academy Interest List: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/ZGxwVBAXom4bHeU7Z4mWApply to Be On the Show: https://link.wordwitchcc.com/widget/form/fW3j3IbmtWHGXPMcor9OConnect with Word Witch: https://bio.site/Wordwitchcc
