Death, Sex & Money: A Tarot Reader Explains Why Intuition is So Tricky

Earlier this year, when the future of Death, Sex & Money was up
in the air, Anna Sale consulted Rebecca Auman, a tarot reader and
self-described witch based in North Carolina. Anna felt lost, but
Rebecca encouraged her to relax and to pay close attention to what
her body and mind were telling her about that moment.  After
the reading, Anna wondered how Rebecca became so good at reading
people–and at helping them to navigate tough situations. But when
the two of them spoke a second time, Rebecca revealed that her
ability to help other people doesn’t always translate to an ability
to help herself. In this episode, the two of them talk about how
hard it is to trust our own intuition…and to even recognize it in
the first place.  Death, Sex & Money is now produced by
