Catherine Andrews Coaching

Your intuition (or "gut instinct" as it might more commonly be referred to in the corporate world) is one of the most underrated assets you have in your career.

You know it: It's the feeling that tells you a decision is wrong before data does. The voice that says "this opportunity isn't it" even when everything on paper looks promising. The internal compass that guides you toward the right people, the right shifts, the right next step.

And yet most of us (especially women) have been trained to dismiss it, to call it "just a feeling." To override it with logic, external validation, or whatever others outside of us tells us is more true or urgent.

What I've seen in my seven years as a life and spiritual coach is that the women who are most effective in their careers aren't the most strategic. They're the most connected to themselves, to what they actually want, and with the ability to trust their deep inner knowing.

If you're interested in better developing and accessing your intuition, Tarot and journaling are two of the most powerful tools I know for building that connection. They ask better questions. They create space to hear yourself when the pace of work makes that almost impossible. They also make your life just a little bit more magical.

If a deeper connection to your intuition is something you crave, this August, I'm hosting an intimate end-of-summer retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Maryland -- a weekend of Tarot, journaling, hiking, bonfires, and sisterhood. Think of it like a deep pause before fall gets loud.

No Tarot experience necessary. All levels welcome. Spots are intentionally limited. Plus, I teach Tarot in a way that makes it accessible, practical, modern and empowering -- not fear-based or predictive.

August 21–23 | Knoxville, Maryland (one hour from DC). All details and registration here: https://www.catherinedandrews.com/tarot-retreat

If your intuition has been trying to tell you something... maybe this is it! Hope I'll see you in August in the mountains.

Some snaps from the most magical Sedona...

Here are some of my fave Sedona spots if you ever find yourself there. This is NOT an exhaustive or even “best of” list, just places I’ve always enjoyed going in my near-decade of annual trips to the vortex 🌀 Share your recs in the comments, too.

Food:
Local Juicery
ChocolaTree Organic Eatery
Coffee Pot Diner
Picazzo’s Healthy Italian Kitchen (lots of gluten free stuff)

Crystals: Crystal Magic

Readings, aura, psychic stuff: Crystal Magic Psychic Center (next door to their crystal shop)
Reiki - Christina Wooten (Sedona Medium, she also does psychic & mediumship readings) or Harmony Reiki

Spa - Sedona New Day Spa

Hikes: most of the trailheads have really small parking lots so go either really early or use the available shuttle service. I like Cathedral Rock, Mesa Airport, Soldier’s Pass, Sugarloaf (the summit is where I would go to see sunrise & sunset), Bear Mountain trail, West Fork Trail - but you really can’t go wrong with any of them

Peak Catherine: sunrise hiking, Sedona, morning pages journaling and… the Devil card 😈

I got this card often, so I feel like I can speak to its oft misunderstood medicine. It gets interpreted a lot as addiction to substances, alcohol, drugs or even materialism. But for the people pleaser and perfectionist (for whom I’m writing my upcoming Tarot book!) what the Devil most often represents is addiction to *control*. To not being able to feel safe without managing everything and everyone around you.

This is the core of codependency — the inability to feel okay unless everyone and everything around you meets your particular specifications of “okayness.” That might mean in order for you to feel safe, your partner can’t be in a bad mood. Or that you must be making a certain salary or have a certain amount of money in savings. Or your body has to look or weigh just so. Or pick your fighter — our needs for safety and control come in many different forms.

The Devil invites you instead into a different relationship with safety. He reminds you of the timeless quote: “You never had control, all you had was anxiety.” He reminds you that control is just an illusion, true safety can only be sourced from within, and believe it or not, you CAN find that internal peace and grounding with surrender and breath and trust and going within, no matter what is happening around you (though… I’m not saying it’s easy).

When the Devil appears in your cards, his invitation is to evaluate your need for control and ask yourself if it’s truly serving you. Slowly but surely, come into a new belief: you can only control yourself. You are okay. And that no matter what is happening around you, within you lies an eternal well is safety. You’ll be alright.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and believe.

(My Tarot book, Tarot for People Pleasers and Perfectionists: How to Use the Cards to Make Better Decisions, Set Boundaries and Finally Trust Yourself, will be out with in December 2027!)

Slide #10 is for the people-pleasers who are healing. Take good care of yourselves, your loved ones, and your community this weekend, folks.

Matriarchy now. It is the only way. (AND NO MATRIARCHY AS A SYSTEM DOES NOT MEAN THAT EXCLUSIVELY WOMEN ARE IN CHARGE, PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF, THOUGH HONESTLY THAT WOULD ALSO BE PREFERABLE)

"Sensitivity is what disrupts abusive norms" OH MY GOD I FELT THAT IN MY BONES (last slide courtesy )

Have a sweet weekend, sensitive ones.

As within, so without ✨ And this eclipse season is the perfect time to start taking steps towards this.

If you feel one of your callings is to leave behind unaligned work and jobs, come join us in Feng Shui to Quit Your Job, starting Thursday, Feb. 19th.

Let me, a seasoned Feng Shui teacher and full-time entrepreneur of 7 years, guide you through a month-long pop-up course and community for the sensitive soul ready to prepare to leave their draining corporate job, and launch their healing, creative or soul-led work.

Over four weeks we'll go over Feng Shui and manifestation principles guided towards helping you create a plan to leave your job, as well as get you energetically set up to find the next steps to your soul-led work.

The course includes two live two-hour workshops, as well as four weeks of a private online community where you can ask Qs and receive coaching and Feng Shui counsel.

If 2026 is the year you're ready to commit to bold action and leave the unaligned work to step into soul purpose, let me (and your home) help.

It's time.

Register at my link in bio and let's say bye bye to unaligned work and step into purpose.
