Let's Talk Tarot: On Air and On the Page
Introduction
Forty years of intuitive practice. Thirty years of journalism. One very clear voice.
Leigh Spencer sits at a rare intersection. She has spent four decades reading tarot and oracle within a family lineage of intuitive practice, and three decades as a working journalist and editor trained to take complex ideas and make them land.
Add a background in adult education, animal communication, and running her own businesses since her mid-twenties, and what you get is a guest who can hold depth without losing the room.
She is available for podcast recordings worldwide and open to contributing written content to newsletters, group publications, and curated communities.
What She Talks About
AI and the limits of artificial intuition
This is the conversation the tarot world is having right now, and Leigh has been inside it longer than most. Her seven-part article series examines what AI can and cannot do in intuitive practice, and why the answer is more nuanced than either the enthusiasts or the sceptics want to admit.
This topic crosses cleanly into technology, creativity, consciousness, and the nature of human knowing. It works for spiritual audiences and general ones alike.
What forty years actually teaches you
Not about the cards. About people. About how we make decisions, avoid truth, and return to the same questions at different stages of life.
Leigh brings the practitioner's long view without the mysticism performance.
The structure underneath intuition
Leigh developed The COMPASS Method™ as a systematic framework for intuitive reading.
The conversation around why structure and intuition are not opposites, and why the best readers have both, is one she can take anywhere from spiritual communities to business and leadership audiences.
Reading for business and decision-making
Leigh has been a business mentor and owner since 26. She works with founders, consultants, and leaders who use oracle practice as a thinking tool, not a belief system.
This angle crosses into strategy, risk, and how high-performers make calls under uncertainty.
Animal communication and expanded intuitive practice
For audiences interested in the broader spectrum of intuitive work, Leigh brings a grounded, experience-based perspective on interspecies communication, without woo and without performance.
She was also Editor of Dogs Life magazine in Sydney, Australia, giving this part of her work an editorial and communication foundation alongside her long parallel intuitive practice.
For Podcast Hosts
Leigh is a former radio news editor and has been communicating complex ideas to general audiences her entire career.
She is direct, prepared, and easy to work with. She does not require questions in advance, though she welcomes them. She records remotely with a good audio setup and is available across time zones.
She is not pitching a product in every sentence. She is here to make your episode worth listening to.
If you host a show touching on intuition, personal development, AI and human capability, business decision-making, or the broader territory of how people know what they know, reach out.
For Newsletter Editors and Group Moderators
If you run a tarot or oracle community, a Facebook group, a Substack, a curated newsletter, or a membership, and you want a considered, well-written piece on a topic your audience is wrestling with, Leigh is open to contributing.
There is no pitch hidden inside the article. What you get is a piece written specifically for your audience, by someone who has been a working writer for thirty years and a practitioner for forty.
