    Discover your card of the year with the info below.


    The formula

    birth date + birth month + year that we are in = your number


    eg: 14th April -

    1+4+0+4+2+0+2+4 = 17


    The Major Arcana cards go up until 21 (The World) - some people count card 22 as The Fool.

    But if your formula adds up to 23, you have to add 2+3 = A 5 year.


    Once you have worked out your number, discover the card that corresponds to your year ahead here: https://www.dailytarotdraw.com/major-arcana

  • Today Holistic Wellness Endometriosis Coach Jo Lincolne joins us to discuss the all important topic of empowering ourselves through the rollercoaster ride that is living with the disease Endometriosis. Both co-hosts Tanya and Agatha have Endo so this is a topic close to their hearts. We discuss why language and the way we speak to ourselves matters! We ask questions like: How do we invite in language that empowers us and moves us forward on the path of healing? And, is hormonal contraception like the pill & merina a helpful form of treatment for Endo? Finally Jo shares her story on how she now navigates living with this condition (pain-free!). Plus what tools & knowledge she's learnt and implements, and how fostering self-awareness and a deep love for her body has been incredibly supportive along the way. This ep with Jo is truly a dose of hope for us all, so go on, wrap yourself up in her kind & insightful energy.

  • Enter into the void with us. Today we discuss Yoga Nidra, the practice of (yogic) sleep with a trace of awareness. Yoga Nidra is a practice for resting more efficiently, entering the state of mind between wakefulness and dream, and effectively rejuvenating the body. We talk on the Goddess Nidra, the difference between the practice of Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra, the art of guiding people through this practice, sleep vs relaxation, the inner tensions, soul remembering, & so much more. Along the way we share our own embodied experiences of the practice. We hope this chat encourages you to lay down and experience this magical, mystical practice for yourself. Plus, check out our free guided Yoga Nidra practice by Agatha in our BONUS episode this week! Happy relaxing y'all.

  • YOU DECIDE. How do the choices we make shape our lives? Either feeding and fuelling us or sapping and draining us? Can we own the decisions we have made for ourselves and have the courage to face when things just aren't working anymore and need to change. Where does auto-pilot, habit, and what we have chosen for ourselves in the past limit or distract us from what we need now and are calling into our future? We examine choices that we have made, and beliefs that we have picked up that are no longer serving us, and realisations around where new one's are! At the end of the day we reflect on if we are making choices that create space for joy & pleasure for us in this life remembering that we are the creator of our reality!

  • How do our own perceptions influence what we do & don't claim is true of our identity? How does self-worth inform personal identity? This week we dive into stereotypical ideas of the yoga teacher and unpack what this work really involves beyond mainstream media's portrayal & the mainstream paths presented to the new yogi. We explore body image, injury, the art of teaching, how it is an incredibly creative field of work, as well as how your journey with the practice will evolve and so naturally your teaching will in response too. A great one to share with your fellow yoga teacher peers.

  • What lies under the veil. Today we break the stigma of always putting on the front of being a put together person and share how we all have a human brain that experiences a myriad of feelings and emotions that offer there challenges. How can we better care for our mental health, and ourselves by cultivating self-awareness that allows us seperate our true selves from the tangle of our emotions that don't need to define us as they are ever-changing, ever-coming, and ever-going. We speak on our experience of how day-to-day anxiety shows up in our lives, the impact of trauma, and when depression rears its head, as well as things we turn to to support our mental health. The more aware of our emotional human experience we are the more compassion and understanding we are able to have for others and recognising we never really know what's going on for someone when on the outside looking in.

  • Your Power is your most precious resource, hold onto it. Today we have a provocative conversation around noticing when you give your power away to other, people & systems. Maybe it comes from a fear of change, a lack of confidence in yourself, and inability to trust in your intuition, or a dogmatic teacher/ing. We invite you to notice when other people in your life (partner, family, friends, colleagues, teachers) or philosophical systems like astrology, yoga, human design, moon cycles, eastern psychology, menstrual cycle syncing and more, can often offer convenient excuses to bypass your true desires and ignore your intuitive hits so you don't have to do be bold, courageous, and decisive in dealing with what you know in your bones to be true, right, & necessary. We speak to how awareness really is the gateway to reclaiming your power and the unsexy work that comes along with pulling it back, holding onto it, and remembering that it always comes back to you, you are the leader of your own life, and anyone or anything that tells you otherwise is big phat red flag.

  • We're back! Season Two is droppin' in hot with a beauty of a chat all about Savasana. Tanya and Agatha talk passionately about their love affair with this asana, what it is, the benefits, and its transformative power. Savasana (aka corpse pose) is an asana you will come across in every single yoga class you ever do and is a beautiful teacher around death, endings, and letting go. If you are in need of some restoration, grounding, solitude, emptying out, and deep remembering, you'll want to tune into this chat all about this foundational rest pose and forever practice for softness, silence, and surrender.
