In this deeply poetic conversation, I sit down with writer, photographer, and intuitive storyteller April Isaacs, creator of Power Story Tarot Readings and author of The Ecstatic Wanderer. From years spent living nomadically in her van “Firefly” to discovering myth as a mirror for the soul, April shares how story, tarot, and wilderness have become her way of helping others reclaim their personal power.

Together, Jodi and April explore:T

• The difference between being “read to” and being witnessed and why the latter transforms.
• The origin of Power Story Readings and how mythic archetypes can awaken inner guidance.
• Why seeking curiosity instead of certainty can regulate the nervous system and create safety for the soul to remember.
• How storytelling in community (like Way of Council circles) restores collective regulation and belonging.
• Practices for tuning in to your body’s stories through myth, dreams, and ritual.

April reminds us that story is medicine, and being witnessed is sacred. Whether through tarot, myth, or dream, each of us holds a story that wants to be remembered, one that can lead us home to ourselves.
