Show Notes
This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I have a timely and tender conversation with my friend and favorite financial educator Mimi Cirbusova to explore what it means to find stability when the world feels like it’s crumbling. Whether it’s rising rent, global uncertainty, or emotional exhaustion, we’re all navigating something right now. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reimagine what stability looks like for you.
Mimi walks us through her Money Mountain framework, and together we explore how tarot (especially the Fours) can help us ground ourselves, soften financial shame, and build emotional resilience in real, accessible ways.
✨ In This Conversation, We Explore: Why “stability” looks different than it used to and how to meet yourself where you are
How the nervous system and financial anxiety are deeply connected
The symbolic (and somatic) energy of the Four of Swords
The tension between the Four of Pentacles and Four of Wands (survival vs. joy)
Reframing saving, spending, and celebrating through a trauma-informed lens
How tarot can soothe money shame and create space for gentler decision-making
Why community is essential for both emotional and financial well-being
🔮 Cards We Explore Together: Four of Swords
Four of Pentacles
Four of Wands
Four of Cups
King of Wands
Two of Pentacles
The Tower, The Star, The Sun, and the Wheel of Fortune
🧘 Final Reflections: If you're feeling the weight of the world, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone. Stability isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about giving yourself permission to rest, connect, and redefine what support means for you today. Let’s pull some cards, take a breath, and remember that we don’t have to do this alone.
