Daily Inspiration: Meet Tess Traynor

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tess Traynor

Hi Tess, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey began with a focus on creating intentional products, which naturally led me deeper into the realms of spirituality, witchcraft, and healing. Over time, I became increasingly passionate about helping others grow and succeed, both in their businesses and everyday lives.

I am able to provide this support through my one-on-one coaching and tarot reading services. Additionally, I host virtual meetups for spiritual business owners, creatives, and healers, providing a space for us to come together and discuss the unique challenges we face. Through these offerings, I aim to empower individuals to navigate their personal and professional paths with greater clarity, purpose, and fulfillment.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey has certainly had its share of challenges, but I’ve learned that nothing in life is ever truly smooth. In fact, it’s often our most difficult moments that provide the greatest opportunities for growth and learning. One of the primary struggles I’ve faced is grappling with imposter syndrome. When someone acknowledges my expertise in tarot or requests an interview, I can’t help but question whether I truly deserve that recognition. ‘Why would anyone look up to me?’ I often wonder. ‘I’m just doing my best, trying to figure it all out.’

However, I’ve come to realize that even if I don’t always feel confident, those external validations are still a huge compliment. If strangers have faith in me, then I should have more faith in myself. It’s a continuous journey of self-acceptance. Although the road has not been smooth, I’ve learned countless lessons from my mistakes and missteps. These experiences have shaped me into the practitioner I am today – one who is deeply committed to empowering others, even when I’m still learning and evolving myself.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am most proud of the oracle deck I created, called The Little Deck Of Darkness this was a passion project that became something truly unique and beautiful.

Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
Beyond the realm of social media, a few of my go-to apps have become indispensable in my daily life. Co-Star is a firm favorite, providing me with insightful astrological updates to help guide my journey. And when I’m in need of a motivational boost or affirmations to uplift my mindset, I turn to the Manifest It Now app.

Of course, reading remains one of my greatest joys and sources of knowledge. When it comes to business, I highly recommend Girlboss – a book that has offered invaluable wisdom and inspiration. For those seeking to deepen their understanding of tarot, I can’t praise WTF is Tarot And How Do I Do It? enough. It’s an accessible, engaging guide that has demystified the practice for me.

And for anyone interested in exploring the broader realms of spirituality, I suggest diving into Witch. This book has become a treasured companion, illuminating the diverse facets of this profound and transformative path.
