Summary
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.
Tune in for:
- [3:14] How Monica went from a religious background to reading Tarot
- [6:53] How Monica finally discovered a deeper layer of her intuition
- [9:40] The unexpected event that changed Monica's path forever
- [14:10] How Monica now offers mental health support in her Tarot readings
- [21:44] Monica's advice for those struggling with Tarot and religious concerns
- [29:15] Monica's thoughts on overcoming imposter syndrome for good
