With 2025 coming to a close, what better time for the first-ever collective tarot reading on the show?
Hero Cait DeMello, a confidence and empowerment coach, guides Chandler through the different energies rounding out the year and setting the tone for 2026.
Cait frames tarot as a tool for clarity and perspective, not fortune-telling, and explores themes like reclaiming inner strength, softening how you control your emotions, and honoring grief as a pathway to clarity and creativity. Grounded and direct, this reading invites you to choose your purpose from within and begin the new year with resonance, not resistance
