Hey Soothers! This is audio from my group call today inside the Imperfect Artist's Way. It was a message about capability, power, compassion, struggles with shame and the highly sensitive person's nervous system. Something in me told me more folks needed to hear it, so I share this audio with you today. It includes a Tarot reading, a bit of a lecture, a nervous system exercise, journaling and a meditation.

Hey Soothers! Glad to be here. I've got as an episode for you today, more of a casual voice note, walking through the woods, as I share what's been going on behind the scenes in my life lately. I'm talking about the (sometimes painful) process of growing into a new voice and stepping into a bigger version of myself, and all the discomfort and doubt that brings up. I get into how my sense of identity is shifting (is it ever not?? sheesh), how I'm navigating a season that feels really fallow an...

Hey, Soothers! Here’s my Tarot reading for the month of April 2025, for all. Feels like an understatement to say that growth isn’t always easy—it expands us, stretches us, and sometimes contracts us before we bloom again. But this month's Tarot reading for April wants us to remember this: nature moves in rhythms—trees shed their leaves before budding anew, the ocean tides pull back before surging forward, and the moon wanes before it waxes. Just like the natural world, we, t...

Hey, Soothers! Here’s my Tarot reading for the month of March, for all readers. The cards had a very clear message for the month ahead: You are not alone, and your voice carries more weight than you realize. Spirit, ancestors, your higher self, whoever, are surrounding you, ready to assist—but they need you to ask. At the same time, this is not a moment to stay silent or shrink back. Your words, ideas, and truth matter. Whether it’s speaking up for yourself, sharing your wis...

I’ll be doing a free webinar, tomorrow Monday, December 9th, at 8pmET, 7 Ways to Navigate Perimenopause as a Highly Sensitive Person.

Hey Soothers. I hope you are well. I am returning from sabbatical with more urgency than I had imagined, given that Trump has won a second term and we are entering scary, chaotic and even stranger times, politically, societally, and spiritually. I asked Tarot what is the guidance podcast listeners most need to hear now, in the wake of the election results, and I received card #1 of the Major Arcana of Tarot: The Magician. Tune in to receive some short guidance around the magic and the medicin...

Say that five times fast! That's right, me and the Soother (and Instagram, and most of my work) are taking three months from August - early November to have a break. Listen in for what prompted me to do this, how I'm feeling about it, and what I hope to do and learn! PS: Want to join me for an intentional new year's eve retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains? We'll learn Tarot, intentional goal-setting, circadian living, do yoga, meditation, and sound clearing, and eat delicious food in a commu...

Hey Soothers! A while back I had this idea to, every once in a while, interview intuitives and healers on their health and self-care routines. I don't know about you, but I'm the kind of person who could read an entire magazine based on people's morning routines alone, so I thought it would be fun to do this for us on this podcast, too. Energy and self-care and health routines are also just extra important to the intuitive empath, to help ground and settle us. And the first person I thought o...

Hey Soothers! A while back I asked for anon listener Qs that I could delve into in my podcast, and y'all delivered! I think I might make this a two-parter because I got a lot of great questions - thank you very much. In today's episode I answer Qs on the following: How I'm currently feeling about life coachingHow I stay so productiveHow you can stay spiritual when you realize you also crave the male gaze/feeling beautiful/you're worried your vainResources and practices for perimenopauseWhy I ...

Hey Soothers! EMFs, HSPs, all the acronyms. Today I'm diving in on how I went from somebody who never once thought or worried about non-native EMFs (the electromagnetic fields and radiation produced by technology, appliances, cell phones, wifi routers, etc) to somebody who has started to see a lot of evidence that they are, at the very least, not helping HSPs thrive. I walk you through my own journey of realization of their effects in my personal life, and also then what I've seen and pieced ...

Hey Soothers, I recently put up a question box to do a Q&A podcast (coming soon, submit your Qs here!) but a lot of the Qs I got were around hormonal issues - PMDD, peri-menopause, menopause, so I figured, why not just record an episode with all of my tips for how I have (mostly) healed my severe period symptoms and hormonal issues? And how I'm working to thrive through perimenopause and set up the path for a healthy menopause? So I did! Listen in for these 7 tips. Know they're not medica...

Hey Soothers! I'm here to talk about our well-being and our bodies as electrical systems (which, spoiler alert, they really are!). This is why so many of us feel "drained" or "burned out" — in a way, we can think of our bodies as batteries, or lights. Some of us are well-charged and shining bright, and some of us are on our last 5% and feeling the effects. So how can we go from living low-voltage, tired, drained, to high-voltage, feeling vibrant and grounded? I talk about practical ways to st...

Hey Soothers! The Joyful Tarot starts this Tuesday, April 23, and in support of that I wanted to tell you 4 fun stories about ways Tarot was talking to me differently than you might think. You see, sometimes the universe uses the imagery on Tarot literally — aka, if it shows you The Sun card, it might just be saying, go outside and get some sun! Tune in for these fun four stories about times when Tarot was talking to me in this style to try to help me and my clients out, and hopefully it give...

Hey there, Soothers! Something I know about a lot of you: You are totally into, or at the very least, pretty intrigued by Tarot. But you find it a little bit... scary. Confusing. You're not sure you're "doing it right." Or other associations and fears may have kept you from engaging as much with the cards as you'd like. Well step back, because I'm here to make Tarot fun, joyful and intuitive for you, with my new course, The Joyful Tarot. And today I'll walk us through a method of reading and ...

Hey there, Soothers! Do you feel stuck in life? Spring is a great time to get the energy moving, and I've got some tips on how to do it. I explain the concept of 'getting the chi going' that relates to Feng Shui, about how you can start to create momentum in your life around a particular area, and how I'm starting to do that this April on Instagram by doing a Reel challenge (follow me @catherineandrews). Also inside the Sunday Soother Membership in April we're talking all things getting uns...

Have you ever heard of the term aphantasia? Aphantasia is a relatively unstudied phenomenon that involves not being able to visualize images in your mind. Reportedly about 3% of the population have this condition, and I'm one of them. I didn't realize til my late 30s that this was even a thing; I was shocked to find out that most people had the ability to go around doing what essentially sounded like hallucination to me. (I learned about it, as many people did at the time, from this article....

Hey Soothers! Today I share a life and biz update, especially around the upcoming revamped Sunday Soother membership! I'm hosting a free 3 weeks within the Sunday Soother Membership, with 6 free new classes to attend. Sign up for that here. But also in this podcast, I share examples of how failures aren't failures, they are literally part of the process on the way to the eventual achievement of your goal. I share a few examples from my own life — from quitting drinking, to biz examples — an...
