Real World Tarot Episode: The Hirophant-What the Hierophant Tarot Card Is Really Telling You

August 17, 2026

New Feature. Every Other Week: Learn about my one of my great passions, The Real World Tarot. It's the method I use to get real clarity on everything from writing to career and life decisions. I created this deck, and I'll be exploring its application in creativity, decision-making, and life-planning. If you find yourself at a crossroads, these episodes will give you ideas on how to make decisions and rise to challenges.

The Hierophant

Stone columns. A scroll. A figure who won't let you skip the reading assignment. That's The Hierophant. It's the card of authority, knowledge, and the discipline of knowing before you act.

In this episode, you'll hear a real reading where a skeptical husband's cards pointed straight to a health issue he'd already been warned about — and why the information he needed had been sitting in front of him all along. You'll learn why today isn't the day to leap, and what it actually takes to stop rationalizing and start listening to what you already know.

This deck isn't available anywhere else. It's exclusively mine. If today's episode has you wanting to work with The Hierophant and the rest of the Real World Tarot deck in your own hands, reach out. I'd love to set you up with a deck of your own, or book you in for a reading.

Don't Miss A Banished Angel, a Secret Nightclub, and One Night at the Blackbird

August 3, 2026

Tom Mullen and Maria Messias Mendes co-wrote One Night at the Blackbird which Goes Up in August 2026, at the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival.

What does it take to start a playwriting career at fifty-nine or co-write a play with someone whose life experience looks nothing like your own? Meet Tom Mullen and Maria Messias Mendes, co-writers of One Night at the Blackbird, premiering this August at the Broadway Bound Play Festival in Manhattan's Theater District.

In this conversation, they open up about reinventing a creative life later in life, building trust with a co-writer, and pulling true New Orleans jazz history into a story about a banished angel who's tired of the music. If you're weighing a late-in-life creative reinvention or a bold new collaboration of your own, this episode offers real, usable proof it's possible, and seats for this festival run are limited. For more on building a confident creative life at any age, find Izolda's coaching work at https://IzoldaT.com.
