Beyond the Shuffle: Tarot, Life & Everything In Between
Beyond the Shuffle is a podcast where tarot meets real life. I’m Adrienne Amari, a tarot reader, clarity coach, and past life regressionist, and each episode, I use the cards as a starting point for honest conversations about mindset, self-understanding, and growth. It's all about settling in, getting curios and seeing yourself more clearly - one card at a time.

Have you ever heard that tarot can or can't do something? That it's just a basic tool?
I'm a little fired up this week after seeing a whole bunch of ridiculous comments in various spiritual communities about what tarot can and can't do or be used for.
Key takeaway? One person's personal beliefs or preferences, do not dictate your skills, or the way a tool can be used.
Let's get into it.

When you celebrate a birthday or the new year starts, do you like to do a year ahead reading?
Year ahead readings were all the rage for a while. Heck, maybe they still are. And while I used to be more into them, I've backed away a bit. I'll share why, and the reading I did for myself instead for my birthday.
Upcoming Events:
How important do you think the question that you ask the cards actually is?
I used to believe that how you worded the question you asked the cards was the most important thing. But after years of pull cards, and thousands of readings done, I've... changed my mind.
In this episode we look at why the question might not be the big make it or break aspect we're often told it is.
Upcoming Events:
How often do you pay attention to symbols? The ones you see repeating in the world around you, in the cards, or in dreams?
Symbols are an important part of tarot - but they don't have to be as overwhelming as one may think. Because while the symbols carry a lot of meaning, they can also be deeply personal.
In this episode, we dive into symbolism in tarot. How to use it in a way that works for you, and some fun example...
What rank of the tarot court are you today? Are you a Page, Knight, Queen or King?
The Court Carts are notoriously a sticking point for a lot of tarot learners. Do they represent the querent? Someone else in their life? An action to take?
And while we don't dive into all the details, we get started with a solid foundation: what their ranks mean, and how their elements or suits influence that.

How good are you at opening yourself to receiving? Whether that's receiving a compliment, some help, or just more fulfillment and happiness in your life? Does that make you uncomfortable?
Over the past few weeks, so many of my readings have come up with a similar message or theme: you're great at giving, but not so great at receiving. In this episode, we dive in to cards that help us realize that we need to receive m...
Have you ever had a reading from a "certified tarot reader"? Or have you ever considered getting a tarot certification yourself?
Tarot Certification is a hot topic in the community - so here are some of my thoughts, and to be honest, I've gone through a certification program before. I'll talk about the reality behind certification, and how it helped (and didn't help) me.
Upcoming Events:
What is your relationship like with trust? How easily do you trust yourself, other people, and the universe?
Until I did this episode, I don't even think I realized how often the theme of trust pops up in the cards - but it makes sense. We need trust in our lives: it helps us feel safe, and confident in who we are, and what we're doing.
Upcoming Events:
What tarot rules have you heard of? Which ones have you practiced? Which have you broken? And which do you think are non-negotiable?
There have been so many rules I've seen floating around out there about tarot. I'm here to tell you what the rules really are. We also chat a bit about ethics, and what's worth thinking about and considering.

When it comes to Tarot and spirituality, how do you feel about AI?
AI and tarot - what are the implications? In this episode, I talk about the three biggest ways AI tends to show up in the tarot world:
- For learning tarot
- To get a tarot reading
- Creation of tarot decks
Plus, I pull some cards from the awesome Sci-Fi Tarot by Todd Alcott to see what we, as a society, needs to know about AI as we move forward.
How do you feel about the future? Do you believe it's predestined, something that you're automatically working your way towards? Or do you believe it's something you create? Something you have say, and choice in?
I tackle the age old question, can tarot predict the future? And what does the predicting the future actually mean?

How do you feel about your emotions? Do you feel them our or would you rather bury them, deep inside you?
The Suit of Cups is all about our emotions - how we feel, how we deal with our feelings, how we connect to the people and world around us, and how we listen to our intuition.
Come through the journey of the Cups with me, and hopefully you'll gain an insight or two into this receptive, watery suit.

What tarot suit is your favourite? Which one do you like the least?
It's no secret that the Suit of Swords isn't often ranked high on the list of cards people want to get. In this episode, we take a journey from Ace through Ten, talking about each card.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
