How can you be more discerning in your actions?

How can you be less quick to react?

How can you work with your emotions in a way that you don't let them get in the way of your interactions with others or the decisions you make for yourself?

Words can be sharp. And an emotional reaction can override your experience.

In this episode, I'm using tarot to support the messages. The topic was reflected to me through the Queen of Swords - a very logical, wise energy.

This week, we're talking about how you can embody that practical, logical side as balanced with emotion and experience.

This is an episode about how you can navigate work and life with more clarity.

Here's what came through.
