Stories we Don't Share: Tarot for Ancestral Shadows & Family Narratives

This week on ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast⁠, I am highlighting the hidden narratives that shape our lives: the unspoken family stories and ancestral shadows that influence us in ways we might not even realize. Inspired by my clinical work (especially during the holiday season), the collection of essays What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About, and my recent workshop on ancestral shadows (available for replay inside The Symposium), this episode explores the legacies we inherit and how they shape our identities. Join me as I discuss how the suit of Pentacles reflects these dynamics, from the stories we inherit (Ten of Pentacles) to the active work of transformation (Eight of Pentacles). We’ll explore generational trauma, the science of epigenetics, and how unspoken family narratives often manifest in unexpected ways. If this episode resonates with you and you’re ready to dive deeper, I invite you to join The Tarot Diagnosis Symposium. Our monthly workshops are a space for self-reflection, healing, and growth. You can also access the recording of our Ancestral Shadows Workshop, complete with an in-depth workbook to guide your exploration.
