Q: What is your favorite part about working with/supporting your specific clients?
A: As a creative, there is nothing better than combining two creative minds. When they give me a vision, it’s like a window into their creative process – which only inspires my own process.
Q: If you could go back in time and give yourself any advice during the first year of your business, what would it be?
A: Things take time. Ideas, inspiration, ART. Don’t rush yourself.
Q: Why was it important for you to create your business?
A: I’m the baby of my family. Anyone that is also the baby in their family might be able to understand what I am about to say and that is, I wanted something that was so authentically me.
Q: When did you create your business, and what inspired you to start this specific business venture?
A: I lost my job due to Covid so I was kind of thrown into starting my business but looking back, it was a time of healing for me.
Q: What is your favorite activity when you aren’t working?
A: Painting is my absolute favorite activity, when I’m not painting commissioned pieces though I am working on my own personal art projects. Also, gardening. Nature inspires my art tremendously.

Q: Why was it important for you to create your business?
A: I don’t like sacrificing who I am for the sake of a job that doesn’t even come close to paying me what I’m worth. Most of us are undervalued, overworked, and not appreciated for the true breadth of our capabilities.
Q: When did you create your business, and what inspired you to start this specific business venture?
A: I started this iteration of my business in 2020 after I quit my corporate job. However, I’ve had stores like this since 2008. Just different names and cities.

“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves…”
– Virginia Woolf
Q: What does confidence mean to you?
A: I saw a quote once that said something like, “Confidence isn’t telling yourself everyone will like you. Confidence is knowing some people won’t and being okay with that.” That’s such an important distinction.
Q: Where can our community find you?
A: My blog is at thetarotprofessor.com and I’m very active on Instagram at @thetarotprofessor.
Q: What is your favorite part about working with/supporting your specific clients?
A: My favorite part about teaching others to read tarot is demystifying it for them. While it is a rich and endless learning journey, getting started is often not as complicated as people think.
Q: If you could go back in time and give yourself any advice during the first year of your business, what would it be?
A: Stop worrying about what others will think. The truth is, people will judge you no matter what. There is NO WAY to come out unscathed, so stop trying.
Q: Why was it important for you to create your business?
A: This business basically allowed me to combine my passion for teaching with a more creative and self-employed business model.
Q: When did you create your business, and what inspired you to start this specific business venture?
A: I started my current tarot business – my tarot blog and online tarot course – in 2019. What inspired me to start it was the transformation tarot caused in my own life.
Q: What is your favorite activity when you aren’t working?
A: I read. A lot. Since I was a kid and to this day I need to be actively pulled away from books or I will probably never leave the house.
Today’s guest for the #womensupportingwomen feature is Annie the Tarot Professor, who runs a website where she shares about her journey into what brings her joy.

Q: What is your favorite part about working with/supporting your specific clients?
A: This one’s a coin toss – it’s between getting to see their projects from start to finish OR seeing them out at their weddings!
Q: If you could go back in time and give yourself any advice during the first year of your business, what would it be?
A: Don’t get your base prices from Etsy! It’s not “industry standard” and almost everything is vastly undercharged to stay competitive in the sea of creatives.
Q: Why was it important for you to create your business?
A: It was something that blossomed into what it is currently becoming. With the support of my husband (then boyfriend) I found encouragement and motivation to see what I was capable of.
Q: When did you create your business, and what inspired you to start this specific business venture?
A: I started my Kate’s Calligraphy Instagram just for fun to showcase all the punny cards I made – and I truly feel like I got into my groove around the fall of 2019.

Connect with Stephanie:
During her transformation she went undefeated in boxing, most recently winning the Masters Division World Championship at 48 years old.
She now empowers women to set boundaries and say no without fear, as well as stop people pleasing, perfectionist and procrastinating behaviors.
👉 Come join us on June 10th at 7:00 PM EST for a live event, during which I’ll be talking about how to empower yourself through style as you learn to create boundaries by investing in your most powerful tool – you.
Stephanie is a Boundaries Coach for a group called No Boundaries in which she shares ways to build courage, reduce people pleasing behaviors, set better boundaries for yourself, and thrive emotionally.
She’s also a former boxer who self healed from over 20 years of chronic back pain and debilitating PTSD symptoms. It was the alchemy of pain science, behavior science and competitive boxing that allowed her to explore how pain and fear could transmute into power.
This month I want to give a special shout out to Stephanie Moniuk, business owner, friend, previous work-wife, and total badass. I’ve known Stephanie for over eight years now, which is crazy to think about.
