How I Found My Way Here (And Why I’m Glad You Did Too)
I want to share how I found my way here - and why this space matters so much to me. My hope is that in my story, you see pieces of your own, and know you’re welcome exactly as you are.
For a long time, my life made a lot of sense on paper.
I had the roles, the titles, the metrics. Work was my safe place - a world with clear goals and rewards. If I just kept performing, things would be okay.
Then 2021 happened.
A series of family emergencies and tragedies hit. The kind of moments that make everything else feel small. Suddenly, the things that had mattered so much - company names, promotions, money - didn’t feel like they could hold the weight of what was really going on.
Work, my old safe place, quietly turned into a coping mechanism I couldn’t turn off. If I stayed busy, I didn’t have to feel as much. So I kept going… until I burned out.
The turning point came in a different form: a trip to Denver for breathwork with a close friend, an introduction to Elizabeth at Cosmic Tea, and my first real steps toward honing my own intuition.
Tarot entered my life as a mirror.
I took classes, practiced, and eventually began reading intuitively for others - on my own and through Cosmic Tea. The same skills I’d used in my professional life - listening, asking questions, seeing patterns - started to blend with this new, spiritual language. I learned about my affinity to weaving.
Earlier in 2025, I went all in on healing: I quit my job and chose myself.
Healing looked different than I expected. It meant deepening my spirituality, starting to teach others, and integrating tarot with my coaching background. It meant creating the intro guide I wish I’d had, designing custom imagery, and ultimately building my own tarot deck and 100+ page guide for new readers.
It feels like my journey is just beginning, or maybe like a parallel path is finally taking root. Into It | Intuit exists because I don’t believe we have to choose between our corporate selves and our spiritual selves.
This community is a safe space to:
  • Blend the professional and the intuitive
  • Admit that we feel called to something more than what a black-and-white, capitalist world offers
  • Be honest about burnout, grief, ambition, and intuition in the same breath
If you’re here, I’m guessing some part of this feels familiar - whether you’re in the middle of your own turning point, or quietly wondering if there’s more for you than the version of success you inherited.
You belong here if:
  • You’ve ever used work as a way to cope
  • You feel a pull toward something deeper, even if you can’t name it yet
  • You want a place where your professional self and your spiritual self don’t have to compete
If you’re open to sharing, I’d love to hear in the comments: What shifted your perspective on work, life, or spirituality?
I’m grateful to be on this part of the journey with you. Truly.
As you'll hear me say a lot here, let’s get Intuit. 😊
