In this special anniversary episode, Peyton and Mel reflect on the changes, tribulations, endings, and embodiment they've experienced since starting the Phases of the Fool podcast last November. Using the Past Year Reflection Tarot Spread by Emerald Lotus Divination, they pull cards to look back on what’s evolved, what’s healed, and what’s still unfolding. It’s raw, real, and full of the Fool’s magic- celebrating the chaos, courage, and continuous becoming that defines every phase of our path.
