Hello Casandra, Just Be You....Be You !....it took me a long time to realize....it's none of my business what other people think about me. Please learn this younger than what I did. I am 55 and only learnt this 10 years ago. Life is much more fun when you Choose to let go of others peoples opinions of what you do in life. I remember reading once. You are not that important that everyone cares what you do. Mmmm I remember thinking well I don't care what other people do as long as they are happy themselves. So why do I think that everyone cares what I do. I am not trying to tell you what to do or think. Just sharing some learnings I have learnt along the way that might give you something to think about. Like I said before ...you do you. Be You always. I always enjoy what you bering to your channel. Your full of sunshine and joy and you bring that through your beautiful smile and happy voice. I never look for perfect on any channel. Please create what YOU ENJOY to do and bring to your channel. There is a great book out there called. "Feel the Fear and do it Anyway". .......Growth is what life is all about. Take Care Terri from Australia 💜🇦🇺 🦘 🙌
I was sat here working out my own plans and chatting right back to you 😂 I really appreciate hearing what you had to say about TH-cam memberships from the creators perspective, very relevant to my own planning right now! Glad you're enjoying the summer with your son
I love the authenticity you radiate in all your videos! I hope you continue to do and create the content that you WANT to and that brings you joy! I LOVE journal content and also the monthly wrap ups are some of my fav to watch and create! I like hearing about people's actual lives outside of tarot and witchy stuff each month. Keep being your amazing self and the right people will be there to appreciate you and what you put out there 🖤
Yes to this! The reminder of being my self and the right people will appreciate it is so so good! Thank you for that because it’s something I know but get side tracked from when I fall back into people pleasing tendencies lol. It’s so good to hear that the ones who matter enjoy the journal with me’s and the monthly favorites! I’m glad that me radiates through and people can feel that 🥰
I feel you so much about making content that's just for you even though you know that it won't get very many views. I have a few of those on my channel. Little to no views on certain series, but I still do them because they're helping ME.
I also want to offer Pick-A-Card readings, and everything you said about focusing on performativism instead of action was so resonate. Listening to you be so open about the challenges that we face being public is healing. And I'm not even halfway though! 😅
1) Do the VRs that light up your soul! 2) I want to get better about shopping on impulse, I'm soooooo bad at it. You're bringing the de facto low-buy attitude I need.
💕 so good to hear it resonates and it just feels so lovely to have the understanding and support! Maybe we both try a pick a card and see how we like it!?
I love watching monthly wrap up and journaling videos! Also I definitely hear you on parenting and having less time to make things. Do what you can and what fills your cup!
Thanks for the motivation to FINALLY create a calendar of my "want-to-film" TH-cam videos for each week this year (and into next year)! I did that while you wrote down your own goals! 💪🙌✨
Please be encouraged, people are watching and enjoying your content. I recently found your channel, it was suggested to me by the algorithm, and have been binge watching all of your old videos. I’ve been slightly saddened by the idea that I will run out soon. I love your selection of decks, we have so many of the same in our personal collection ( Extraordinary Incantations, Circo, Apparition, and Practical Tarot). You’ve introduced me to The Future Ancestors and I can’t wait to order that one from you. Hang in there, keep going we need you. PS. I love when you show decks over and over because I get more incite on the decks and am reminded that I need to get it. I also like seeing a deck I already own being featured. It excites me to use it more and I get ideas on how I can use it.
💕 this is so encouraging & just fills my heart with joy. I’m so happy to hear this & helps ease some of my worries! Thank you so much. I love seeing decks I have too & must say you have good taste 😂
I am hoping it brings us some balance. I am not a huge structure or routine person but I need a little bit and right now it’s just anything goes and my brain can’t think straight lol.
Thank you so much for sharing I feel the same way about my tarot practice and reading for others. I also have my own TH-cam channel and I feel like there are so many things that I wanna do and wanna combine all of my talents like digital journaling, Sims 4, and tarot but being consistent with TH-cam is really hard and I’m definitely a creative but growing my followers is something I struggle with as well so thank you so much 💕
I resonate with this so much! I've been feeling "the ick" for a bit now. Im starting to pull out of it only recently. I've been trying to figure out what I want to keep and let go of in my Tarot practice, what videos I truly want to make because I enjoy sharing. A few questions I've been asking myself are What am I enjoying working with right now? Whats new to my collection? How does doing this video make me feel right now? The assumption being that I should feel happy and excited to make and share the video. If I don't, then maybe it isn't a video for me to make or maybe it isn't the right time for me to make that video right now. About a year ago, I saw some VR's to Heather_Tarot about things I won't do on TarotTube. I know Aquamarine 18 Books and Tarot did one. It was very much along the lines of making the videos you want to make, how and when you want to make them, trying to let go of the expectations or possible expectations of others. I never did a VR to it, but i did sit down and write a bunch of things I probably won't do on my TarotTube channel, just for myself. Maybe checking out some of those might be helpful. I know they were for me. 😊 I will say, if you want to do a bunch of VR's, then do it. Share what makes you happy. 🥰 A while ago, Dawn Michelle talked about how our Tarot practice shouldn't feel like homework, shouldn't feel forced or like drudgery. That really stuck with me. I feel the same kinda applies for creating videos. It shouldn't feel like homework we don't want to do. We "should" want to do it, or else why are we doing it?
Yes absolutely! I am usually good about not doing videos I don’t want to do but it’s usually the opposite that I don’t make or post videos I want to or limit them. I’m working on being better about it though and just allowing myself to post whatever it is I’m feeling like when I feel like. I am trying to get back to consistency for TH-cams sake but I’m going to try to be less worried about who wants to see the video and just lean into what I want to share! Thank you I’ll have to look into the videos 💕
I’ve had Prisma Visions for years and I’ve picked the deck back up. I ordered Cosma Visions, and I feel that’s going to be a good addition. I know Mirra Visions is a combination of the 2, but it feels like too much at once and I want to get to know the decks by themselves now.
I think it’s crazy I’ve never had either! They been on my list but haven’t taken the plunge! Would love to hear how it ends up going once you get cosma!
@@ariffleintimeI will! Re: spending more time with your son, we all have a limited amount of time and time with your child will never be regretted! Ever! I had cancer last year and that experience had me prioritize spending time with people I care about and doing things that feed my soul!
It is so hard to balance all the aspects of life which are intertwined and overlapping. 2 of pentacles am I right?😅 but I love love love your unique voice, your thoughtful choices, your mindful decisions, taking breaks from social media as needed. I dunno anything about being a content creator, but I love your assessment, adjustments, goals with the intent of what feels right for you. I certainly enjoy your content 😊 keep shining, you fabulous introvert ❤
Yes yes yes! I had the thyroid cancer scare last year and it just reaffirmed my belief that I was doing the right thing spending all the time I could with my son. It’s always been the only thing that felt right. We can’t really afford for me to stay home with him but I can’t afford to lose the time with him either. That’s one of the reason the shop was born, to try to one day make it pay me to work from home.
I love to watch the individual practices. I also appreciate when that practice isn't perfect!
Me too! And good because mine definitely never is and I love that about my practice. It feels real when we are all together honestly!
What a great video. Getting back to center will keep you calm and happy. We will watch you no matter how many or few videos you post.
You're the best 💕

I love a good book!
Just wanted to say thank you for this comment. It was exactly what I needed to hear today. 💖
I was sat here working out my own plans and chatting right back to you 😂 I really appreciate hearing what you had to say about TH-cam memberships from the creators perspective, very relevant to my own planning right now! Glad you're enjoying the summer with your son
I love that! I always have to pick a video to watch to keep my company lol. I also am happy to share any info/opinions about the memberships too!
"icks up the place" - yup creating really does sometimes pull me off what I love.
I love the authenticity you radiate in all your videos! I hope you continue to do and create the content that you WANT to and that brings you joy!

I love watching monthly wrap up and journaling videos! Also I definitely hear you on parenting and having less time to make things. Do what you can and what fills your cup!
Those are some of my favorite videos to do too! It’s hard to balance things as a human on our own let alone adding little humans to it lol.
Thanks for the motivation to FINALLY create a calendar of my "want-to-film" TH-cam videos for each week this year (and into next year)! I did that while you wrote down your own goals! 💪🙌✨
I love that! I need to do even a little list of want to films and that would be helpful 😂

I’m in an odd space right now too. I’m hoping once the kiddos get back to school that things will settle down again.
I am hoping it brings us some balance. I am not a huge structure or routine person but I need a little bit and right now it’s just anything goes and my brain can’t think straight lol.

Awe I’m so glad it resonated! Staying consistent is hard and especially with lots of interests & creative ventures in a busy world!
