A Sam and Katie catch-up for the books! Katie takes a risk and drops the t-word (tarot) in a business meeting- and no one dies. That moment opens a bigger conversation with Sam about hiding vs over-explaining who we are, the weird social rewards of “the mask,” and why being fully seen still scares successful adults. We unpack soulmates, gratitude without the guilt trip, and the difference between micro-fears (new things, hard conversations) and the big ones (loss, death, being misunderstood). Then (of course) we pull cards and wrap it up by discussing the mental load and making more room for play.
