39- Embracing New Beginnings With The Fool’s Tarot And Innocence Motivation

This episode of The Empowered Sensitive and Creative dives into the world of astrology for beginners, and how it can help us, Sensitive and Creative people to feel and be more empowered.

I felt drawn to the notion of us, humans, being connected to the stars and the cosmos.   It helped me put words into things I could feel but couldn't quite explain. It quieted the noise of all the experts and other people's expectations, and allowed me to connect with my own authentic voice as a Sensitive and Creative person.  I'm joined by fellow creative HSP Simona Berardozzi, to unlock the secrets hidden within your birth chart and unleash your unique creative potential.

When we venture into new projects, and things don’t go our way; when we want something so badly, and it’s not happening; when things get taken away from us, when the rug pulls out from under our feet so to speak, it can all feel very disempowering.As someone who’s been through countless transformations, this is one big shift that has been amongst the most powerful. Once we shift from trying to push against the river’s current to flowing with it, things begin to get much more exciting for us.  If you’re interested in exploring ways to shift your energy with my guidance so that you can be more simply you, I offer a variety of sessions to help you tap into creative expression, dive into inner exploration, and strengthen spiritual connection. www.rimcreativenergy.com Connect on Instagram
