This Week’s Featured Uplifter: Dina Berrin
Dina Berrin is a professional intuitive and coach, but her journey from corporate sales executive to master tarot reader wasn't a straight line. For years, she kept her mystical studies hidden, reading cards at parties but never discussing it at work, helping colleagues in bathroom conversations but always waving them away when her boss was around. What would her kids think? Heck, what would her kids’ friends’ parents think? Would people dismiss her as crazy, unintelligent, unserious? When COVID forced a choice between her nine-to-five life and her calling, she decided it was time to step fully into her dreams despite those questions and fears.
Her Courage Practice: The Permission to Be Seen
Signature Practice: Refusing to Hide Her Light
Dina's most powerful practice isn't about cards or crystals—it's about the daily choice to show up authentically, even when it feels uncomfortable. After decades of compartmentalizing her gifts, she made a radical decision: no more shrinking, no more hiding, no more apologizing for who she is.
"I was unwilling to be judged by people that really had no idea what they were even judging"
This practice ripples outward in everything she does. Her presence gives others permission to explore their own curiosity about the mystical, the intuitive, the parts of themselves they've kept hidden. By refusing to dim her light, she illuminates paths for others to step into their own authentic power.
Listen to This Episode If...
You've ever felt like you need to hide parts of yourself to be "professional" or acceptable, you're tired of asking everyone else what you should do instead of trusting your own judgment, you feel stuck repeating the same patterns and want to understand how to break free, or you're curious about how ancient wisdom traditions can support modern decision-making and personal growth.
