Happy Friday Rochester! 🐙

It is so hard to make new friends as a grown up.

FOR ALL THE REASONS.

Proximity to people. Work. Family. Unhealed s**t from our past.

This weekend, we're being encouraged to put ourselves in a situation that allows us to either deepen a friendship we have or to allow a new friendship to begin.

That's not to say they get front row seats to your stadium. You're being asked to either move them up a section or to let them in and have them sit in the nosebleeds.

So as you move through your weekend, where can you see or make opportunities for that to happen?

Want to dive deeper? Head lintktr.ee/octopuscoaching and set up an in-person reading here in town. Not local or in-person isn't your jam? DM me OUT OF TOWN and I'll send you a link to make an online appointment.

I can't wait to support you on your journey.

Happy Monday Rochester!

This week we're being encouraged to lean into our transformation, growth, and healing. 🦋

Transformation isn't easy, it's hard AF and sometimes it can be hard to see just how far we've come. And there are moments of profound joy that can happen if we open ourselves up to allowing them.

As you move through your week and are faced with uncertainty, frustration, or annoyance, where can you take a moment to pause and open yourself up to receiving joy and allow it to sustain you during the more difficult times?

What do we need to take into the weekend with us?

1. 3 of Cups - Who haven’t you talked to in a while? Take time out to connect, either text or call. It’s important to tell the people you love that you care about them. The powers that be want to keep us disconnected from each other, it's more important than ever that we take the time & make the effort to stay connected.

2. Ace of Cups (r) - Feeling a little salty? You’re being guided to look at these
challenging emotions from a place of kindness & compassion not beratement, so you can process them. Emotions are neither "good" nor "bad" it's what we do with them that make them such. It's OK to be grouchy and it's important to figure out why and address it, instead of taking it out on those around us.

3. The Chariot (r) Slow your roll. Where are you trying to force forward movement
when you should be pausing, reflecting, and resting? Forcing forward movement because of some outdated belief passed down by a racist white dude is only going to cause you to get sick. Go take a nap. You'll feel better afterwards & have more clarity because you're rested.

Have you ever felt drawn to tarot and wanted to learn more?

The two cards pulled for me at my first tarot reading exactly reflected the two biggest stressors in my life at the time. I wasn’t expecting to cry, but I did. Ever since, learning about the cards seemed more like a window into what was really going on. A window that was never open previously.

✨If you've ever wondered what the cards are trying to tell you, Tarot Foundations is a welcoming in-person, two-week November series that explores working with the deck itself. We'll learn about traditional meanings, symbolism, and stories while making room for your own intuition to develop along the way.

You'll practice simple spreads, experience reversals, and build the confidence to start reading for yourself. No prior experience is needed.🔮 Just come curious, and leave with a tarot practice of your own...new tools for reflection and a foundation you can keep building on long after the series ends. A reference guide is included.

Learn more & register! Link in bio. Spots are limited, so sign up today!

📆 Saturdays, November 7th & 14th │10:30 AM - 12:30 PM (2 sessions)
📍 2376 Monroe Avenue, Rochester, NY

🌱And if you're interested in going a little deeper, we're also enrolling for Tarot for Healing & Self-Reflection, a separate class centered on using tarot as a tool for personal exploration and insight. Link in bio, or visit spottedrabbitstudio.com/events to learn more!

I'm SO TIRED of seeing fellow wellness providers using "AI" generated GARBAGE to promote their product, services, and skills.

1. It's not true "AI". It's a large language model that uses STOLEN work to "create" something for you.
2. It uses water for cooling the servers that CANNOT BE replaced by rain or snow.
3. It makes you dumb. Literally. Not figuratively. Here's the study: https://www.media.mit.edu/articles/ai-s-impact-on-cognitive-ability-mit-study-reveals-more-troubling-data/
4. The argument that I'm using Meta or Google is false equivalency being promoted by Big Tech as a way for us and them to avoid personal responsibility.
5. By using "AI" you're willfully participating in upholding the patriarchy and white supremacy. That tells me A LOT about you & your practice.

We're here to unsend systems of injustice, not continue to perpetuate them.

New research found relying too much on AI negatively affected people’s ability to identify misinformation.
