Mid-year is a natural time to pause, reflect, and realign , an ideal moment to check in on your goals and intentions. In this episode, we journey through a midyear reflection ritual designed to help you review the first half of the year and reset for what’s ahead. Your host, Carrie, guides you through a storytelling experience woven with Tarot symbolism: The Empress, The Hermit, The Star, and other cards become allies on your path. Weaving these archetypes together is like a journey from the Empress’s nurturing abundance into the Hermit’s quiet wisdom, emerging under the Star’s light of hope and renewal. Through their tales and lessons, you’ll tap into your inner wisdom and sense of wonder.
You’ll also be led through a gentle visualisation, imagine a healing light or a serene inner landscape to help you release old energy and re-enchant your spirit. With pen and journal in hand, Carrie offers soulful journaling prompts so you can capture the insights that arise. These prompts encourage you to celebrate your lessons and growth (it’s so important to acknowledge how far you’ve come) and set fresh intentions for the remainder of the year. By the episode’s end, you’ll feel both grounded and inspired, ready to step into the next chapter with clarity, intention, and a heart reawakened to its own magic.
