Talking Tarot with Tamara Driessen

In this week’s episode of the I’ll Ask My Sister podcast, Mads and Ellen are joined by an incredible tarot reader (and good friend), the wonderful Tamara Driessen! On top of her spiritual skills, Tamara is a writer, who just published a piece in Elle about 2025, and runs her own podcast “Another Phase”. 

 

This week’s question:  I'm struggling to get clear on what I want from my side business, and it's paralyzing me from making clear next moves or taking it to the next level until I answer the ultimate question. Deciphering whether my feelings are fear slash conditioning slash not being able to see my way of doing it, or if I don't actually want it at my very core being,  sometimes I can see and feel it so clearly how big and beautiful it could become, but alongside it is total fear of what that might bring with it. Can I be the mother I want to be or the partner or the friend and hold space for all the parts I want to show up fully as. Transcribed recently, I have really felt that I can't have it all and I have to choose.  But this burning decision feels like it's splitting parts of myself. What is your take?

 

Discover:

• How to challenge the societal norms about work which demand hustle, so you can start living a more authentic and aligned life. 
• Tamara draws the two of cups from her tarot deck, which suggests the listener needs to focus on nurturing herself and finding a balance between personal and professional relationships. 
• Often, the simplest approach is the right one, so don't over-complicate things.
• The exercise of visualising what your ideal day looks like makes your goals clearer which in turn helps you feel more confident making decisions to get there. 
• Why it’s important to regularly reflect on yourself. Introspection makes sure you stay aligned with your goals and keeps you from going off the path you’ve mapped.
