Woven Into Being: A Journey Into Art & Transformation with Teal Fitzpatrick (Part 1)

Some people drift into your orbit with such grace and divine timing that you instantly know: oh… this was meant. That’s exactly how Teal Fitzpatrick arrived in the Mystic Mamas universe. A large-scale punch-needling artist, a former mental-health professional, and now the creator of her very first tarot deck and guidebook, Teal embodies the art of becoming.

In Part One of this two-part special, Teal takes us through her own version of the Fool’s Journey-one that unfolded slowly, intentionally, and often on literal train rides as she spent a year and a half weaving all 78 cards of her tarot deck into being. Her story is a love letter to transformation, to choosing “more” for your life while craving a gentler pace, and to rediscovering yourself through color, texture, and spiritual curiosity.

Rachael and Krystyn share how they read their cards, what senses they tap into, the symbols that tug at them, and the Teal-crafted cards that lit them up the most. Naturally, the three of them dissolve into cackles, drop seamlessly into the deepest conversations, and connect like they’ve known each other for lifetimes.

This episode is a tapestry of storytelling, travel, creativity, and permission-giving. Krystyn opens up about the sacred ritual of braiding intentions into her daughters’ hair, and how Teal’s art carries that same woven magic—her energy braided into every loop of fiber, every card, every layer of her becoming. Together, they explore the past lives of energy, what we’re taught to hold or hide as we grow up, and how those teachings echo through our bodies today.

And then there’s self-care-the real kind. Teal speaks tenderly about embodied energy and what it means to care for ourselves not by giving everything away, but by tending what’s ours. It’s the wisdom of women learning, in their 40s, the true power of enoughness.

This conversation is nurturing, wise, funny, and deeply inspiring. Settle in, cosmic crew, Part One will nourish your soul. Part Two lands next week.
