Unraveling Spiritual Messages

 

At every stage of our lives, we find ourselves searching for guidance — something to help us make sense of the world’s chaos and our place within it. Sometimes that guidance comes from the people around us. Sometimes it comes from the quiet corners of our own hearts. And sometimes, it comes in the form of symbols: a dream we can’t shake, an animal crossing our path at just the right moment, or a card drawn from a deck that seems to speak directly to our soul.

I’ve always believed that the stories we tell — and the symbols we live by — shape not only how we see the world but how we move through it. In my most recent reflections on Language of the Soul, I found myself drawn to the powerful connections between ancient systems like Tarot and I Ching, and the personal, intimate ways we make meaning from our lives. There’s something timeless about these tools — not as fortune-telling gimmicks, but as mirrors for our inner landscapes.

What struck me most in these conversations is how easily we overlook the small signs that could serve as our greatest teachers. A fleeting animal encounter, a vivid dream, or even a line from a poem can remind us of what we’ve forgotten about ourselves. They can reconnect us to the parts of our stories we’ve left untold — the ones waiting for us to claim them again.

There’s also a deeper current running through these symbols: the reminder that we are all on a journey, not unlike the Fool in Tarot’s major arcana. We’re all seeking, stumbling, learning, and growing. Whether we’re navigating leadership roles, rethinking our relationship with material abundance, or simply trying to quiet the noise and hear our own wisdom — it’s the stories we embrace that help us stay the course.

I invite you to sit with these ideas, to consider how the symbols and signs in your own life might be nudging you toward reflection, change, or a deeper sense of belonging. What stories are you living? What stories are asking to be told?

If these questions speak to you, I encourage you to listen to the episodes where these themes come alive through rich conversation and shared insight. Together, we explore how Tarot, dreams, and the language of archetypes can help us better understand the narratives that shape our world — and ourselves.

The Comeback of 2D Animation: Why We’re Craving Realness Again

There’s something happening in animation right now that’s worth paying attention to—not because it’s simply nostalgic, but because it’s deeply human. As someone who works in the mental health and creative storytelling space, I can’t help but see these conversations about art, AI, and hand-drawn storytelling as part of a bigger theme: our collective hunger for authenticity. We live in a time where AI-generated content is everywhere—convenient, efficient, and often soulless. It’s not surprising that artists and audiences alike are looking back toward something that feels more tactile, more imperfect, more human. That brings us to 2D animation, an art form that has shaped generations and now, it seems, might just be making a comeback. Here’s what Language of the Soul podcast host, Dominick Domingo, had to say on this trend: There’s been a lot of industry talk lately speculating about 2D/traditional ANIMATION making a comeback. Recent articles confirm that although Disney has not greenlit...

We're All Souls: The Spiritual Thread of Mental Health with Carolyn Coleridge

  By Virginia Grenier I’ve long believed that healing is more than just symptom reduction. It’s not just about coping skills or cognitive restructuring—it’s about uncovering the deeper threads that shape who we are and how we move through the world. That belief is exactly why this latest episode of Language of the Soul resonated so deeply with me. Our guest, Carolyn Coleridge, is a psychotherapist, intuitive, and healer who has spent over 30 years at the intersection of traditional therapy and spiritual insight. In our conversation, Carolyn shared something that’s stuck with me since we recorded: “We’re all souls. That’s my premise.” It sounds simple, but when you really sit with it, that one sentence flips the entire clinical model on its head. What if instead of viewing our clients—or ourselves—as broken minds to be fixed, we saw each of us as whole souls navigating a very human experience? That’s the lens Carolyn brings into her work and into this conversation. And honestl...

Five Tips for a More Marketable Children’s Picture Book Manuscript by Mayra Calvani

The world of children’s picture book publishing is extremely competitive. If you’re an aspiring children’s author, you need to make sure your manuscript is in excellent shape and has all the elements editors and agents look for before you begin the submission process. Here are five tips to make your picture book manuscript more marketable: Start right with the problem.  Many times beginner writers begin a picture book with back-story. It’s okay to have this back-story in the first draft, but be sure to get rid of it when you edit. Back-story is unnecessary 90% of the time and it only serves to slow down the beginning of a story, making it weaker. You want to grab the reader right from the start. So don’t be afraid to begin your story at the heart of the problem. It’s okay to set the stage with a sentence or two—but no more! Have a protagonist readers can relate to. Generally, children like to listen to stories about other children or animals with children’s characteristics. ...
