Hey there, Instagram world! Let’s do some introductions! I’m Sarah and I help folks challenged by their mental and physical health build intuitively guided and supportive lives. ✨ My own challenges with anxiety, depression, addiction, and persistent health issues led me to radically change my life to center self-care and service. Now I use tools like tarot, herbal medicine, and the magic of small business to help others do the same! ✨ When I’m not supporting clients or teaching folks to use these tools for themselves, I’m pretty into my dog, knitting, and watching the historical farm shows on the BBC. ✨ Some random facts for ya: I’ve worked as a theater tech, fashion mag assistant, fact checker, house cleaner, lighting designer, wine lab tech, shop girl (many times over), editorial director, consultant, wine buyer, pottery assistant, bike messenger, freelance writer, and food demonstrator. I have cleaned many, many toilets. All that’s to say that the path to crafting a life that supports you is not a straight one 😂 ✨ I started practicing witchcraft as a kid but spent the better part of 15 years pretending I wasn’t a sensitive intuitive channel witch person and just trying to be normal. Suppressing the anxiety that stemmed from that denial is definitely part of why I used drugs and alcohol to excess. ✨ My favorite drink is coffee. My favorite food is pizza, but I can’t really eat it anymore 😭. My favorite movie is Empire Records or Marie Antoinette. Favorite bands of all time are The Pixies, Sleater-Kinney, and X. And old New Pornographers. And Juliana Hatfield (#feelings). And Ex Hex. And... yeah. But I know very little about newer bands! ✨ I had four majors before settling on French with a minor in molecular cell biology. I absolutely loved working in a lab 🧪 and I still have a thing for French theater. ✨ Now I’m bored of myself. Who are you? What’s a random fact about yourself? What’s a random thing you want to know about me? Comment below to let me know who you are and what you’re making in this world! 👇 ✨✨✨ #introduceyourself #witchesofinstagram #intuitivecounselor #intuitivetarot #spiritualawakening #tarotcommunity
The much-maligned Three of Swords has become an anthem for me as I work to help students shift out of perpetuating the pain inflicted upon them. The Three of Swords encompasses the re-wounding, the doubt, the loneliness that leads us to rip off the scabs to remind ourselves that we can feel rather than ever allowing the soothing balm of forgiveness. ⚔️ I struggled with self-harm for much of my life, and while the Three of Swords is not necessarily so literal, it reminds me of that feeling. Things happened that I could not control, and instead of seeking help or offering myself healing, I exacerbated my pain for the illusion of agency. ⚔️ Despite popular conceptions, that pain does not need to be the message of the Three of Swords. If we go deeper, we find that the wounding it describes is the call to nourishing self-care. This card opens the conversation to take responsibility for the ways we’ve chosen to survive, and to engage with the possibility of choosing differently. ⚔️ We can’t go back in time, but we can create a different future. That is truly what tarot offers: help to identify the places where we can choose, can act, and can change. ⚔️ Ready to have a language to understand your fears, challenges, joys, and successes so you can choose your future? Would you like to be guided step-by-step to learn a comprehensive system for tarot calibrated to your life experience and your spiritual gifts so you can trust your intuition and ability to be your own healer? Registration for the 12-week online Tarot for Self-Care course opens on Thursday.

Do things that have nothing to do with your work. This is one of the most important parts of doing the work. We have to disengage and step away. We have to let our creativity expand in ways that are not tied to making a living. We have to learn things that are not tied to our understand of self. 〰️ It’s so easy to say we don’t have time to take a break from the hustle, but the space between work IS the work. That space is where we actually grow and build new pathways in our brains and our hearts. 〰️ My craft practice is that space. I don’t sell knitting. Learning to weave isn’t part of my job. But practicing craft is what enables me to do my job. Having a business requires immense creativity and resilience that need to be fed as much as my flesh. 〰️ The space of learning, of untangling thread, of using my hands to make something that did not exist... all of that is in service of my mental capacity for change. And without that capacity, I cannot show up for my work and for you. 〰️ If craft is your work, be mindful of selecting activities that you are not emotionally invested in the way that you are in your art. Crafts that are not linked to your income. Ways of making that have nothing to do with how you define yourself. 〰️ How can we be expected to form new worlds and new ways without practice? 〰️ So let that practice be in a place that is not your work or vocation or calling. Let it be small and sacred and mostly just yours and maybe only sometimes on the internet but mostly just in your hands and in your life. 〰️ Thank you to @alittleweather for teaching me to weave and introducing me to this book and to @centercenter.space for having this book here so I can make with my mind in ways that have nothing to do with my job. 〰️〰️〰️ #onweaving #weaversofinstagram #craft #makersgonnamake #witchesofinstagram #selfcare #tarotforselfcare #healyourself #practiceyourcraft #businessminded #businessmindset #spiritualcoach #spiritualcounselor #intuitivecounselor #intuitiveguidance
The Fool is the beginning even before we even begin. We have to commit to beginning, to going on the journey at all. Outside of space and time, The Fool instead is the point of entry for the human experience. Choice is a critical part of this card. We are given the gift of opportunity, the chance to decide, the chance to begin. We don’t have to. We can say no, and continue to be as we always have. ⭕️ Or, we begin at the beginning. We claim our agency and engage actively with life. We become willing to become who we are, through trial and tribulation, through a journey we can’t quite foretell. ⭕️ But The Fool is truly the beginning and the end. The Fool is outside of it all, and holds that delicate balance. As we begin again, something does end. In choosing to begin, we inherently let go at the very least of who we have been being in the hopes of becoming. ⭕️ The Fool then becomes our avatar as we journey through life through the lens of the Major Arcana, leaping off of the cliff with a little dog at our side. Once we commit—once we leap—we cannot tally or hesitate. The gravity of the path pulls us forward and there is no going back, no ability to undo. We can choose again and again and again if we learn that lesson of power from The Fool, but we cannot become who we once were. ⭕️⭕️⭕️ Registration for the 12-week Tarot for Self-Care online program opens next week.

Every time we open our email and refresh it is⁣ a prayer⁣ a hope⁣ an intention for the future,⁣ begging for change beyond our control from something, anything outside of us.⁣ ⁣ We refresh and we pray and we hope that our lives will change when we open that one email that says⁣ we want you. ⁣ We pray and pray and refresh and refresh and set the intention for change.⁣ ⁣ But what if those prayers go answered because we place no faith in ourselves but only in the external and that not even god⁣ or the universe⁣ or anything⁣ but simply other humans who too are⁣ refreshing and⁣ praying and⁣ hoping for a different life?⁣ ⁣ What would be a prayer that is ⁣ "A gift, a love gift⁣ Utterly unasked for"⁣ ⁣ That we can give ourselves to refresh ourselves rather than the asked for gift of an email delivering freedom? 🍬 🍬 🍬 #beyourownhealer #mindsetmatters #witchesofinstagram #spiritualcoach #amwriting #amwritingpoetry #poetrycommunity #sylviaplath #spellwork #prayer #energyhealing #healyourself
Not frowning, just squinting as I inspect the bright light of day infiltrating my work and awareness. Every time the edge of my understanding approaches, I try to force a stop on the path, to jump out of this vehicle, to give into the permeation of fear. Every fucking time, I try to quit. That doesn’t go away. But what does change is the duration of insanity, the expanse of doubt, the breadth of self-loathing. What was once years is now months, what was once days is now (on a good day) hours. With practice (persistant, consistant) we can collapse the distance between the fear and continuing. With practice we can act as-if and let that be enough to stay on the path. We are enough. ❄️ #witchesofinstagram #tarotreadersofinstagram #beyourownhealer #intuitivecoach #spiritualawakening #spiritualcommunity #spiritualcoach #intuition #mindsetmatters #mentalhealth #recovery #addiction #soberlife #livingsober #feelings
