We’ve been told it’s laziness.
That if we just had more motivation, more discipline, we’d finally change.
But what if the thing holding you back isn’t resistance to progress — it’s grief for the version of you that had to survive?

In this episode, Ray dismantles the illusion that healing is all high vibes and affirmations.
She dives into how resistance is not the enemy but a sacred teacher — a signal of grief, fear, and the unfamiliar peace we’ve been conditioned to avoid.
You’ll learn how to recognize resistance in your everyday life, understand what it’s trying to tell you, and alchemize it into clarity, accountability, and action.

Because resistance was never laziness — it was your nervous system’s way of saying, “We’ve never been here before.”

Next Week — Episode 12: Make Peace with the Flame
We’ll explore surrender, softness, and how to rest without losing momentum.
→ “Peace isn’t the end of the fire — it’s what keeps it alive.”

We’ve all been told it: You’re too much. Too emotional, too intense, too sensitive.
But what if “too much” was never the problem — what if it was their too little?
In this episode, Ray takes you into the science and soul of sensitivity — how your nervous system, your trauma responses, and your emotional depth were never flaws, but signs of life.
You’ll learn how to stop shrinking for people who can’t meet your depth, and how to see your fire as data, not damage.
Because you were never too much — they were just unprepared for your voltage.🎧 Listen & Follow The Void and The Flame

  🎙 Upcoming Episode TeaserNext Week — Season 2 Premiere:
  “Resistance Isn’t Laziness, It’s Grief”
  We’ll explore self-sabotage, subconscious fear, and the quiet truth behind inner blocks.
  → “Your resistance deserves curiosity, not judgment.”

Eight episodes. Two months. We’ve walked through shadows, survival patterns, grief, and the science of change.
And today, we’re looking at it all through one of my favorite mirrors: Tarot.

This episode isn’t about fortune-telling. It’s about patterns, symbols, and archetypes — the same way we’ve been talking about neuroscience and survival responses. Tarot is another language for the same truths: your brain, your body, your story.

Together, we walk through the first eight episodes of The Void & The Flame as a Tarot spread:

• The Fool → Naming pain, taking the first step.

• The Magician → Neuroplasticity, rewiring, using the tools you already have.

• The High Priestess → Survival patterns and subconscious blueprints.

• The Star → Music, resonance, and healing light.

• Death → Grief and transformation.

• Strength → Laying down armor, choosing compassion as courage.

• The Tower + Judgment → Outgrowing cages, awakening to a new self.

• The Moon → Memory fog, fractured time, and trauma’s fingerprints on the brain.

Along the way, we’ll talk about:

• How Tarot symbolism works (water, animals, flowers, fire) — and why your brain loves metaphor.

• The neuroscience of change, trauma, and healing.

• The Fool’s Journey as a symbolic map of becoming.

• Why Tarot isn’t about “answers” — it’s about reflection.

And for the first time on this podcast… we step into video. You’ll see the cards, the spread, and me — not as a fortune-teller, but as someone walking this path with you.

Don’t have your own Tarot deck? DM or email me — I’ll happily pull a card for you and guide you through it.
✨ Or, if you’re ready to go deeper: I’m opening up personal readings.
Your first reading is free — a short 3-card pull sent to you in video form. After that, I’ll be offering more in-depth readings for those who want to explore further.

• Basics of trauma + neuroplasticity (see episodes 1 & 2).

• Science on grief, music, and memory (episodes 4–8).

• Recommended Tarot decks: Rider–Waite-Smith, Light Seer’s Tarot, The DreamKeepers Tarot, The Muse Tarot (pick one that resonates with you).
