Are You Scattered? Moving from Nine of Swords Anxiety to Focus ☀️

There is a significant opportunity to reclaim your creative focus and transition from the paralyzing anxiety of the Nine of Swords into the radiant clarity of the Sun.

As we approach our July 1st launch, I want to share a realization that shifted everything for me. For a long time, I found myself “playing small,” battling the same imposter syndrome that keeps so many of us from our true potential. My own journey has been about moving from a 70/30 Tarot-to-Coaching ratio toward a more balanced 30/70 approach—prioritizing the deep, transformative work that builds a lasting legacy.

To help you navigate this same path, I am officially opening the doors to the 31-Day Creativity Challenge: Get Out of Your Own Way Today.

This isn’t just a habit-building exercise; it is a flagship project designed to help you master the “coaching mindset.” You will learn to spend 70% of your time listening to your intuition and 30% taking decisive, soul-aligned action.

We are kicking off a 31-Day Tarot Challenge! For the next 31 days, I will be posting and inviting you to participate and share.

Less is More, More is Deep: Navigating the Spectrum of Your Reading Style | Reading Lab June 27th

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

You can glean so much in one card when answering a querent’s question. And, you can also open doors to multiple layers in your readings with a few more cards. In today’s reading, “Janet” asked me what the highest potential is for her friendship with “Tim” once he’s addressed his issues and burdens in his life. We first worked with one card, then we added more cards.

Whether you find yourself leaning toward minimalist, intuitive “pithy” readings or gravitate toward dense, multi-layered interpretations, this month’s Reading Lab session is designed to help you master the entire spectrum of your unique reading style.

Unlock the art of adaptability in your tarot practice with this month’s focused Reading Lab session.

#GetOutofYourOwnWayToday, 31-Day Challenge

My Journey from Playing Small to Creative Authority | Get Out of Your Own Way Today 31 Day Challenge

Kim Abundant Life Tarot

Tarot always has a way of reflecting back the truth that resides in each of us.

For the longest time, I was playing small. I was caught in the loop of “Nine of Swords” anxiety, letting imposter syndrome dictate my creative output and hold me back from my true mission. I knew I was capable of more, but I was stuck in a cycle of scattered energy. During the last two months, I learned how my conditioning to play small directly impacted how I showed up creatively in my life. I learned why I felt the need to start so many projects and then feel guilty when I didn’t finish them. 

I’m sharing the raw, honest story of my personal transformation. I’m pulling back the curtain on how I shifted my own creative process—moving from a 70/30 Tarot-to-Coaching ratio toward my goal of 30/70—and why I’m finally stepping into my creative authority.

Something different may be reflected back to you as you do this challenge and that’s okay! I am sharing what came up for me as I did this self-exploration. There are overarching themes that I believe touches all of our lives – but your unique needs will reflect back to you as you do the work in this 31-day challenge.

In this video, we cover:

▪️The “Nine of Swords” Trap: How to recognize and move past creative anxiety and overthinking.

▪️The 70/30 Shift: Understanding the balance between intuitive listening (70%) and decisive, soul-aligned action (30%).

▪️The Power of the Pause: Why “The Hanged Man” philosophy teaches us that intentional stillness is not a failure—it’s a strategy for long-term momentum.

▪️Building Your Legacy: How to create systems that protect your joy and spiritual flow so you can build something that lasts.

Ready to get out of your own way?

I’m launching the 31-Day Creativity Challenge: Get Out of Your Own Way Today, starting July 1st. This is the exact framework I used to stop playing small and start building a creative legacy.
