I’m joined by artist and author Yumi Sakugawa to dive deep into the healing energy of the Sun tarot card. We explore what it means to truly embody your inner light, how to reclaim authenticity beyond self-shrinking narratives, and how creative expression becomes a powerful act of spiritual truth. Yumi shares her journey of healing, speaking out, embracing "delusions of grandeur," and creating her Cosmic Comfort oracle deck 🌈✨

We also talk about the balance of giving and receiving, finding your truth in community, and why the Sun card is so much more than just “positivity.”
