What if your hardest times were invitations to remember who you really are? We sit down with Viv, a Nigerian-based creative, tarot reader, and host of “Perspective with Viv,” to explore how intuition, shadow work, and art can turn displacement into belonging. Raised in a devout Muslim family, Viv built a powerful prayer life before a spark around “vibration and frequency” opened a wider field: dream-led tarot, effortless astrology, and creativity as a channel for healing. Her origin story as an artist carries a cinematic twist—an intuitive push to post her composite photography series placing Nigerian street life in Western backdrops sparked viral attention and major media features. The images reveal more than technical skill: they bridge cultures while honoring roots, showing how identity can be both grounded and expansive.
We dig into the tension between organized religion and spirituality, and why going “beyond the box” matters when the work is to face the shadow and choose love over performance. Viv shares candidly about depression during her England years and how it transmuted into poetry, film, and photography. She breaks down the pivotal moment creativity dulled—when art shifted from soul-first to audience-first—and how she reclaimed voice through tarot, podcasting, and daily acts of remembering. Returning to Nigeria brought another test: would she lose her magic to conformity or anchor her home frequency? The answer arrives in synchronicities, aligned relationships, and a layered creative life that feels mundane and magical all at once.
You’ll hear practical guidance to find your frequency: revisit what you loved as a child, engage what lights you up right now, and keep a creative outlet close while you do the necessary shadow work. Viv closes with a collective tarot reading on justice, mindset shifts, and welcoming abundance without self-sabotage. If you’re navigating identity, faith, or creativity, this conversation offers an honest map back to self.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find these stories. Your support helps more people remember who they are.
