Inner Wisdom, Spiritual Breadcrumbs, and Card Readings

I sat down with Dina Berrin, an intuitive guide, tarot reader, certified life coach, and  author  for this totally delightful conversation about inner wisdom on the Breathe Love & Magic podcast interview.

How to Lift the Dark Cloud

Let’s just say it. Right now, the world feels heavy. A lot of people are avoiding the news and holding onto a low-grade anxiety that can’t be clearly identified.

You know that image of Pig-Pen from the Peanuts cartoons? He walked around with a little cloud of dust overhead that followed him everywhere. These days many of us are walking around just like that.

But here’s what Dina and I both believe – you don’t have to live like that, under that cloud.

You are the driver of your life. You’re not the passenger, passively sitting there, hoping to get somewhere at some point. But as the driver, you get to choose your cargo and what you leave at the curb. You are in charge of the trip.

Dina shared the power of building a daily practice centered on calm and ease. She’s not saying you need a complicated, long morning routine that adds pressure to your plate. Her suggestion is simple and consistent.

Maybe it’s short meditation. Or do some journaling, letting your worries spill onto the page, so they stop circling in your head. Perhaps you say affirmations or do something magical.

The form matters less than the intention. Showing up for yourself everyday, with presence and intention for inner peace and connection to your higher self or spirit.

Consistency is the key ingredient, according to Dina. When you tend to your inner world with that kind of devotion, something shifts. You start to bring a different energy into everything you do. Right now, you need that extra dose of light and so does everyone else.

Follow the Breadcrumbs

This is how spirit and your intuition communicate when you’re paying attention. Inner wisdom is rarely a big thunderbolt of a message. More often, it’s like a trail of breadcrumbs.

In the dating world, “breadcrumbing” has a bad reputation. It’s stringing someone along to keep them hooked. But Dina and I talked about the positive aspect of breadcrumbs when it comes to your inner wisdom.

The universe often leaves you hints, nudges, and perfectly timed coincidences to help you find your way. Breadcrumbs!

Once you start to pay attention, you’ll start seeing those crumbs everywhere. A book falls off the shelf. A conversation with a stranger answers a question that’s been on your mind. You get a feeling in your gut that says “Yes”.

The idea is to simply follow the trail and understand that more will be revealed, but usually one step at a time. You rarely get to see the entire map up front. That’s just how it is with spirit most of the time.

Living Authentically

Here’s where things get really juicy. Dina and I spent time exploring what it means to live authentically  and how much of our lives we spend doing the opposite without even realizing it.

Most people have been conditioned to look outside themselves for answers. They seek validation, approval, and permission. You become fluent in the language of other people’s expectations and so many have lost touch with their own inner knowing and wisdom.

Becoming self-aware is the solution. This is about the gentle, curious kind of awareness and the practice of noticing how you act and react. Get really clear if you’re showing up as you or as the version of you that’s trying to keep everyone else happy.

Dina puts it so simply. When you’re deeply connected to what you truly need and want, you stop solely pleasing everyone else. This is how you cultivate self-trust. You build the kind of confidence that doesn’t require anyone else’s validation.

And from that place, you’re more present, and genuinely useful to the people around you. Respecting and taking care of yourself serves more than just you. It really does serve everyone’s highest good.

Turning to Tarot

One of my favorite moments is when Dina told me a story about her daughter was waiting to hear where high school she got accepted to. Such a stressful situation, it turned into one of those agonizing periods where the outcome feels completely out of your hands.

That’s when Dina did what she always does. She turned to her tarot deck. Wondering what this meant and how things would resolve, she pulled a card.

Not just any card, but she chose the Sun card. This is radiant, optimistic symbolism that everything would absolutely work out for her daughter. That card became her calming anchor through three months of difficult uncertainty. And at the end of those three months, and far too many meetings and phone calls, her daughter landed a wonderful high school placement.

Here’s how Dina and I both think about it picking a card. Tools like tarot, numerology, and astrology aren’t about handing your power over to something outside yourself. These sacred tools are more like mirrors of your inner wisdom. They reflect back what your own intuition already knows, and calm the inner turmoil, so your inner voice can actually be heard.

The cards, runes, and I-ching among others, are tools for self-understanding. Who couldn’t use a little more understanding?

You Are the Magic

If I could bottle up the essence of my conversation with Dina, it would be a calm, steady belief that you are not broken, lost, or left behind. You are someone with deep inner wisdom who may have simply gotten distracted from your truth.

Your intuition is still there. The breadcrumbs are still being dropped. The tools are waiting for you. All that’s left for you to do is follow the trail and trust that it’s leading somewhere wonderful, appropriate, and luminous.
