Lori Bean welcomes her good friend and acclaimed tarot reader Tarot Lori to the podcast. Together they explore how each of their life journeys led them to their current individual purposes and how it feels when you find that purpose. Lori and Tarot Lori each tell how their personal journeys through living, and the careers they thought were their goals, ultimately led to a very different purpose. Through forty years of friendship, they have evolved into their current places in the world. Tarot Lori shares how she started in tarot and how she came to realize her purpose was to be a professional tarot card reader. They both give insight into what that itch feels like, into how your purpose will find you and seize hold of you, and how your purpose may well be the thing you already love that you do with or without payment.

Lori Bean 00:57I'm Lori Bean and today we are going to be discussing the question, a very important question that we all tend to ask, are you living your purpose? And joining me today is my best friend from, I don't know, for how many years? Wait, 12, 24, 36... 35 years. Tarot Lori 01:23Oh my gosh. Lori Bean 01:24Welcome to the Maliya podcast. I am Lori Bean. And I am here with my best friend of 35 years, another Lori, and we are here to talk to you today about the question everybody seems to have, are you living your purpose. And as 51/2 year old women, we're just gonna come to you from our perspective of what that is, what that looks like, our experience, share a little bit about how we've sort of come to this awareness through experience.

Where we know we're in alignment, even though - let me tell you - living your purpose is not easy. And it's not butterflies and rainbows and fairy dust and this whole I don't even know if I would call it a spiritual awakening. Tarot Lori 03:28No, it's just, it's like coming home to yourself. Because for so long, you try to fit expectations that society has, or family has, or you have of what it looks like to be a grown up, like what it looks like to be out in the world. And in the moment you're in it, it is your truth. But with wisdom and experience comes the realization 'Oh, it's not a static thing, it's fluid, it's dynamic, it's constantly evolving'.
