Generative AI Has Ushered In the Next Phase of Digital Spirituality

I was interviewed for this article about AI and spirituality, adding my two cents on the intersection of science and spiritual discourses.

"Emotional truth is not the same as empirical truth, but it has validity and utility for the purpose of self-development, emotional regulation and maintaining your mental health. I hope that these postmodern times will make way for more nuance, compassion and understanding in conversations about how we know what we know."

Live Grounded with Mary Blackmon - Interview
Meet The Tarotologist

Mary Blackmon, Founder of Farm to Wellness Retreats, interviewed me for her monthly blog feature, asking about my unique approach to tarot, how I discovered the cards, and who benefits from psycho-spiritual tarot readings.

"Spiritual or spiritually curious, sensitive and intelligent women are drawn to this practice because it is an analytical and interpretive technique that validates one's emotional experiences. I work with a lot of successful, smart and ambitious women who are leaders in their communities, companies and organizations, and who are exploring their spirituality in light of a realization that despite their success, they are still feeling emotionally unfulfilled, struggling with addictive tendencies, co-dependent relationships and emotional instability. These are women who have used their intelligence to get where they are today, but who may also struggle with over-thinking or anxiety because they are so cerebral."

I measure my success by the feeling I get when clients walk away from a reading feeling relaxed, empowered, and in love with themselves."

Rebelle Zine - Article
A Critical Approach to Manifestation

In this article I wrote for Rebelle Zine, I propose to re-frame manifestation as an act of resistance that requires a confrontation with the affective byproducts of systemic trauma, and a persistent committment to our well-being in the face of forces that serve to undermine it.
