I'm Sarah Chappell. I offer intuitive tarot counsel and alcohol-free herbal remedies to help you unravel your fear, create lasting shifts, and heal yourself.

 
Being willing and able to play is a pretty new thing in my life. I consider it a gift of sobriety. Younger Sarah had to drink quite a lot to be comfortable taking her shoes off in front of people (even romantic partners... I was terrified that my feet were weird) let alone mess around in a creek for fun. Sobriety has forced me to learn how to move through the world authentically, because there is nothing left for me to hide behind. Some days that means staying in my house and accepting the truth that being alive is overwhelming to my system. But other days, I’m actually able to laugh and smile and be silly for no reason. And wear amazing vintage palazzo pant jumpsuits. And really just behave however I damn well please. Alcohol might not be your thing, but if you’re being eaten alive by the fear of people seeing who you really are, consider this a gentle offer to examine what you’re using to hide and to ask if it’s serving you or causing more pain. Sobriety can only come when the pain of using or engaging in hurtful patterns becomes worse than the pain of change. I would never have believed I could make it through to the other side and actually - GASP - be happy. But I was willing to ask the question of what my drinking and using served, and the answer of “nothing” helped me shift out of constantly hurting myself and into a life I couldn’t have imagined. If you’re struggling with addiction, you’re not alone. It doesn’t discriminate, and runs rampant in a culture that values productivity over people. There is another way. We can learn to play again. 💕 #soberlife #recovery #healyourself #alcoholism #livingsober #witchesofinstagram #soberissexy #soberliving #mentalhealthawareness
The 9 of Wands is a bit of a sneak attack challenging card. On its surface, the card offers us such a beautiful gift: we can wish for whatever we want! In the 9 of Cups, those wishes can become reality. Sounds most magical. But, there’s a trick. In order to wish for it, we have to know what we want 😳and therein lies the trouble. So many of us waver in our desires, limited by what seems possible, or the past results we’ve been able to achieve. I’ve been doing a lot of tarot business check-ins for myself (and will be sharing my business planning spread in a future episode of @soyouwannabeawitch 💕), and keep getting the 9 of Cups. What do we want? This is exacerbated in the reversal, where doubt plagues our wish. Are we asking for the right thing? What if we change our minds? All of this lives within the 9 of Cups, making “the wish card” a bit more complicated than we may initially suspect. We can’t wish for something we haven’t identified. We can’t dream of a life we’ve never envisioned. We can’t build a business without the end in mind. So, we have to dedicate time to discovery and imagination, experiencing possibilities in our minds, all so we can answer... ✨What do you wish for?✨ #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotreader #holisticmarketing #soulpreneur #soyouwannabeawitch #healyourself #tarotforbusiness #tarotforselfcare #learntarot #solopreneur #witchlife #witchesofinstagram #businessmindset
I’m so empty even my basket is empty 😂 I seem to have gotten myself sick again. It’s nice sometimes to acknowledge that these things aren’t our fault, but when we continue to treat ourselves and our bodies the same way and expect different health results, that’s on us. My pattern is stress ➡️sympathetic nervous system overload➡️hormone hangover and immune system rebound➡️severe allergy attack➡️infection and a variety of other fun. I can’t do much past the stress phase, and even the stress I can’t always control. But I keep making choices that enact this pattern over and over again. I choose to not take days off, to work into the night, to live on my computer and phone, to act as if my world will crumble if I don’t answer emails immediately. I can see so clearly how my current work projects are the perfect opportunity to learn how to choose differently. If I don’t, I won’t be able to keep doing my work. It’s that simple. I’ve also made a deeper commitment to my personal practice, and that too comes with an energetic cost that cannot be paid if I continue to set myself up for health failure. We can attempt to reduce harm, to make choices to support rather than punish ourselves. Is there a choice that you keep making that puts your health at risk? Can you shift to reduce the likelihood that you’ll repeat the pattern? Are you able to give yourself that gift? #healyourself #selfcare #energyhealing #mentalhealth #mindbody #witchesofinstagram #chronicillness #stressrelief #herbalist #holistichealth #vitalism #holistichealing
Sometimes the very majesty of the sky seems to communicate with us, the clouds forming messages from the world around us. I’m fairly sure that youthful days spent seeing images in the vapor were well-spent, training our eyes to find magic even when we’ve supposedly aged beyond such pursuits. When I first got sober, I became acutely aware of how much of my life was spent looking down at the concrete of New York City. The correction - looking up - was far more powerful than I could have imagined. There is a whole world up there in the sky! I still feel a little silly at my awe at such things, but after a decade of compulsive work and drinking, it truly is as though the scales have been shed from my eyes. We only see what we know to look for, and if our focus is narrowed rather than expanded by the choices we’re making in our lives, it can take quite a shock to push us out of complacency and into the ability to see beyond, to look at the clouds, and pick out the shapes the world is sharing with us. ☁️☁️☁️ #intuition #healyourself #intuitivecounselor #witchesofinstagram #cloudspotting #seawitch #soulpreneur #beachmagic #soberlife #recovery
Learning tarot is a transformative experience. The cards provide a framework for our lives, a way to understand and process our journeys, and ultimately the freedom to choose the path we want to follow from a place of grounded clarity rather than the panic-tinged fear that rules so much of our default decision making. When I am in the honored position of facilitating that education for others, it is truly amazing to see how people start to incorporate the language of tarot into their lives. Folks don’t necessarily expect to change as they learn the cards. They tend to be curious, or want to read for others, or just feel like it would be nice to know what they mean. The knowing is lovely, but the transformation is in the learning. When we are able to lay our lives along the timeline of the Fool’s Journey, we start to see how we fit into a larger story of what it is to be human. There is a healing so strong that even if we practice tarot in isolation, we are able to feel connected to a totality of humanity through the lens of the cards. Our problems are not solely our own, and in return for releasing our terminal uniqueness, we can access a wisdom far great than ourselves. ✨✨✨ I have one mentorship position available starting in September. This is a 12-week private deep dive into the tarot and your personal connection to the cards. It is a co-creation of your story as you want it to be, and an opportunity to learn to interact with your trials and triumphs with rooted confidence and grace (and a lot of silliness and cursing tbh). If you’re feeling pulled to learn tarot, to have a new language for your experience in this world, and to be able to clarify and empower your choices, visit the link in my profile for more information and to request an application. ✨✨✨ Also on the announcement front, as I do more mentorship and teaching work, I am cutting down on my reading availability. September is now open to schedule an intuitive tarot counseling session, and I welcome you to do so at the link in my bio as there are limited spots this fall. ✨✨✨ #tarotreadersofinstagram #healyourself #tarotforselfcare #witchesofinstagram #intuitivecounselor #spiritualawakening
•Enrollment Closes at Midnight• In less than 24 hours, I am closing the doors to enrollment for Flower Essences for Self-Care. The online course begins August 13th. Today is the last day to dive into the deep end with us and explore the modules and bonuses that I have crafted to guide you down the path of pinpointing underlying imbalances and learning to shift them through the clarity of tarot and energy healing magic of essences. The clarity of tarot is a most potent practice, but clarity isn't always enough. Tarot is like the roadmap, showing us where we've been, where we are, and some possible ways to get where we want to go. The vision of tarot is powerful, but it can't always take us down the path to our future. If tarot is the roadmap, then flower essences are the car, actually engaging with the roadblocks, helping us to move around them, and create shifts in our lives. - Imagine being able to craft an essence blend that resonates clearly with a client who comes for tarot readings always with the same problems, and no solutions. - Imagine being able to use your deck to dig into the old programs that are keeping you from receiving the relief you crave, and being able to select a flower uniquely capable of helping you. - Imagine being able to meet a flower on the sidewalk, in the woods, or in your own backyard, and being able to ask it directly what energetic medicine it can offer to you, your friends, and your clients. Visit the link in my bio to join the journey. 🌷🌷🌷 #witchesofinstagram #floweressences #tarotreadersofinstagram #floweressence #bachflowers #floweressencetherapy #floweressencesforselfcare #tarotforselfcare #energyhealing #plantspiritmedicine #healyourself #intuitiveplantmedicine
