What death represents in the journey of the tarot and how to interpret the card both upright and reversed.

S4 E14: Bonus Episod with Toni Jones

Mon, 18 May 2026 05:53:46 GMT

This conversation was an absolute treat. Toni has created something wonderful with her online Self Help book club, Shelf Help. If you don't follow her social media already, please go and give it a look.

After 10 years and 1000 self help books, Toni has written her own! You (The Beginner's Guide) is the self help book to get you started. During the episode we not only discuss Toni's journey to going from reader to writer, but also the key concepts she shares in her new book.

YOU is a bitesized guide to Toni's Connected Self MethodTM: a three-step framework drawn from 10 years immersed in the space that features expert tools to support Self-Discovery, Life Design and Life Support. Core premise: self-help isn't about fixing yourself. It's about getting to know yourself and then

designing a life that fits.

S4 E13 - The weather doesn't know any more

Fri, 15 May 2026 17:03:03 GMT

Tarot: Justice and the Hanged Man.

Let's dive into karma and self-discovery! But less than what I'd like as I have 2 cards to get through.

I recently had a conversation about karma and the choices we make. It’s wild how our actions ripple through our lives. Every moment we spend reacting, complaining, or stressing, we’re creating our own karma.

This is a reminder the justice card can bring.

We then move onto the Hanged man, which in my personal opinion says: Therapy.

Enjoy the next two cards in our journey, I can't wait to hear what you think.

S4 E12: Cloudy and far colder than you'd think

Thu, 07 May 2026 14:35:52 GMT

Today I cover two cards, the Hermit and the Wheel of Fortune.

Ever feel overwhelmed by all the advice out there? Here’s why it might be time to listen to your inner voice.

We’re constantly bombarded with opinions and guidance from others. But how often do we pause to reflect on our own thoughts and feelings?

The Hermit card reminds us that self-reflection is crucial. Going inward allows us to discover our true motivations and intuition. It’s about finding clarity in the noise of external influences.

Remember, it’s okay to step back and reassess. In a world full of voices, your own is the most important one.

What’s your go-to method for self-reflection? Share your inner wisdom.

S4 E6: Blue ish, cloudy ish, warm ish

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:35:40 GMT

Today I chat all things the Hierophant, also known as the High Priest. This card also projects the more masculine energy to help balance the feminine energy of the Priestess.

The Hierophant is all about acknowledging what works, but also not making more work than needs to be done. Trust the tried and tested methods, but when they no longer serve you, be willing to walk away and create you new traditions.

S2. E9: It might rain. This podcast may be 3 minutes long

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 19:34:01 GMT

Last week Alex chatted about finding compassion in stressful situation, and this weirdly lead her to think about compassion when spending time with family. Alex discusses the truths we lay down when we're children and how, in the 'safety' of those that are familiar, we're likely to revert back to those truths.

It's a food for thought kind of episode.

S2: E8 - Oh, the clouds are back and tiny rains

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 11:59:53 GMT

Chatting about how compassion dispels negative energy, and stressful situations. I use the example of mine and the besties very disturbed night sleep on the night before the festival. But it's worth casting your mind back to a situation that pushed your limits and consider other perspectives. How can you layer compassion in instead?

Heads up: I'll be moving all things 'It's Probably Me Podcast' to www.alignwithalex.uk/podcast. and the social media will be on @alignwithalexuk too, so please head there for updates going forward.

Thank you for everything and your continued support.

S2 E7: White skies, don't wear too many layers

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 19:31:35 GMT

Alex got a question in the ol' inbox asking about comparison being helpful sometimes. So this episode is all about the energy around comparison and the potential thought processes, followed by that of inspiration.

S2 Episode 6: It rained, now it's blue skies and windy

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 12:06:54 GMT

Comparison is pretty much the opposite to compassion, so Alex's talks through how comparison can ruin any event or moment, while compassion keeps you in your own lane and doing what lights you up without getting pulled away by what others are doing instead.

There's a big emphasis on yoga teachers, but to be honest this could apply to so many jobs, workplaces and relationships. The focus next time will be how this impacts as a yoga participant or in the gym etc.

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 21:07:26 GMT

Accidentally go on a big ol' chat about a washing machine. This leads to discussion about how meditation is the same as choosing to be on the inside or outside of a white wash.

Dianna and I, both local yoga teachers in Norwich, connected pretty soon after she moved here. Dianna is a yoga teacher and business woman it's hard not to respect and admire. We've worked in the same studio for years, share stories, dreams, aspirations and similar frustrations. Both Pisces, both scorpio rising (take from that what you will), but we could chat for hours, and this conversation could keep going.

This experience meant a lot to me, and I hope you enjoy it too.
