July is here—and it’s a powerful one. In this episode of Talking Smack 415, Debbie Mink and Jamie the Great sit down with psychotherapist and energy healer Maia Taub to dive into July’s energetic themes using the Akashic Records and intuitive tarot guidance.

Maia shares why this month feels like peeling back and orange and deep ocean currents—dark, emotional, and transformative—and how to move through it with presence and power.

🌀 In this episode, we explore:

• July’s emotional energy forecast
  
  
  
• Tarot wisdom from the 7 of Wands and The Priestess
  
  
  
• The power of meditation and intuitive clarity
  
  
  
• How to embrace inner truth and spiritual alignment
  
  
  
• Fox spirit energy: observation, adaptability, and subtle transformation
  
  
  

🎧 Theme song of the month? Whitney’s “How Will I Know”—because the answers are within.

In June’s Energetic Forecast: Maia’s Take, Maia shares that June is short and sweet and all about love!

June is for lovers and love is in the air. Whether it’s loving yourself or loving someone else, June is all about love.

It’s a vibe, whimsical, nostalgic and slow with fireflies and hammocks.

Immerse yourself fully in the energy of June.

Maia pulls tarot cards:

• 8 of disks - which is prudence - message is everything that is coming to fruition is really good but still need to take good care of it. Be delicate with yourself!
• Everything unfolds at the proper time.
• Ace of cups - overflowing love .

Animal is a dragonfly which is all about illusion. Don’t believe the illusions that you tell yourself that hold you back.

Enjoy June!
