Well, that’s Awkward Podcast – EP6: Cards on the Table… Literally

Is Tarot and card readings a powerful form of personal insight — or just a glamorous excuse to avoid making an actual decision?

In Episode 6 of Well, That’s Awkward, hosts Susan Osman and Rachel Branson explore decision making techniques including Tarot readings, archetypes, intuition, symbolic guidance… and the awkward moments that come with using cards as your emotional decision-making compass.

This is midlife reflection with a side of mystic humour — because sometimes spiritual clarity looks suspiciously like procrastination.

Tarot, Archetypes & Midlife Decisions

This episode dives into what really happens when you reach for a deck of Tarot cards instead of phoning a friend.

Do we consult the cards as a form of modern intuitive wisdom — or because it feels easier than dealing with reality head-on?

We explore:

• Tarot archetypes and what they reflect back at us
• Using divination tools instead of confronting choices
• The psychology behind seeking signs from the Universe
• Why women over 40 are gravitating to symbolic self-enquiry
• When woo-woo becomes powerful… and when it becomes avoidance

Because we’ve all been there — dramatically shuffling a Tarot deck like we’re front row in mystical Vegas, whispering “Show me something useful please” at the Universe, instead of just sending the text or replying to the email.

The Awkward Part

Do you admit to your friends that you used Tarot to guide a major life choice — job, relationship, moving home — or do you downplay it as “I just had a feeling”?

This is where intuition meets embarrassment… and we turn it into comedy.

Why This Episode Matters

Women over 40 are navigating life differently — and many are seeking guidance tools that go deeper than logic and productivity charts. Tarot becomes a symbolic mirror, a way of slowing down, checking in with self, and acknowledging the unseen influences shaping decisions.

This episode is about intuition, self-reflection, meaning-making… and the joy of laughing at how dramatic we can be with the cards when we’re avoiding sending one simple message.
