Arcana 8. Strength

In each episode of Arcana, Jodie invites Soulstice team members Bea and Audree to unpack a Tarot card and see how the archetype can deepen our understanding of what it means to live, grow and change. The conversation is supported by their knowledge from lived experience, spontaneous thought and psychotherapy training.Strength is our starting point for this episode. Our in-house Tarot specialist, Bea, introduces us to this card of emotional acceptance and boundary setting. Audree makes the connection to defence mechanisms and thinks about how we regulate anger, fear and sadness. Jodie emphasises the importance of honouring one’s feelings and repositioning emotional expression as bravery instead of weakness. Tune in for chats about supporting loved ones, strange TikToks, big scary beasts and self agency. Together they wonder how we can redefine strength, honour our boundaries, avoid smothering self & others to ultimately connect to our inner beast and embody Strength.
