Leading Yourself With Compassion
Episode 22
Tuesday, 5 May, 2026

In this episode, I'm sharing a tarot reading for the month of May and exploring the themes that are coming forward as we move deeper into this season of growth and transformation. The overall theme is represented by the Lion card, which speaks to leadership, self mastery, and taking ownership of your path. This is a reminder that you are the one guiding your life, even in moments where it feels like your circumstances are outside of your control. Growth begins with acknowledging your ability to choose, evolve, and move toward what feels true for you. I then explore the Nine of Swords, which invites us to look honestly at the parts of ourselves we may be avoiding. This card brings awareness to inner tension, self judgment, and the ways we can become our own biggest obstacle. Rather than fearing these aspects, this is an opportunity to gently bring them into the light and allow them to be part of the transformation process. The Son of Wands adds another layer, encouraging us to release the illusion of perfection. This is a reminder that growth is not about fixing yourself, but about becoming more fully who you already are. Your uniqueness, your complexity, and your imperfection are all part of what makes your path meaningful. Finally, the Empress offers a grounding and nurturing energy. This card calls us to care for ourselves with compassion, to reconnect with nature, and to create space for reflection and restoration. Growth does not have to be forceful. It can be supported through softness, patience, and intentional care. This episode is an invitation to lead yourself with compassion as you continue to grow. To face what is ready to be seen, to release the need for perfection, and to trust that even small shifts can create meaningful change over time.
