This sparkly course is an invitation to bring more play into your life!
During lockdown 2020 I bought myself some new tarot decks — nothing odd about that, I’m an avid collector — but there was one deck in particular I was giddy with excitement about. When it arrived I realised I hadn’t bought it for me, I’d bought it for my inner teenager. Adult me liked it, but my inner teen LOVED IT!! This realisation opened up a whole new sparkly world where I wondered “what deck would delight my littlest inner child?” — so I let her choose her own deck too. From there a magical adventure began.
This course is a sparkly rainbow-hued invitation to bring more play into your life. Through the insightful archetypes contained within the tarot we’re going to bond with our inner children, one card at a time. We’ll connect to them through guided meditation, give them full permission to choose a tarot deck just for them and make our own “little white book” of card meanings (aka a tarot journal).
You’ll be making the journal right alongside your inner child — they'll be in charge! My inner child wanted to decorate our journal with cute stickers just like I did as a kid— what would yours like? Paint and pencils? Collage? Glitter gel pens? Stickers and stamps? Anything goes!
If you’re into tarot you’ve probably done an inner child reading at some point — I have too and they’re always insightful, but getting to know my inner child this way has taken our relationship far beyond the occasional spread and into regular soul-level connecting. With a journal filled with words from my inner child I’ve been able to tune more deeply into how I feel (and why), heal stuff I didn’t know still needed to be healed and in turn bring more joy into my life as a whole. The shift has been transformational so I knew I had to pass this practice on to you!
It's time to play!
“The course has been a focal point for me and will continue to be so. It’s so beautiful and my Inner Child adores playing everyday and she adores you. Not only have I given her permission to play but using the tarot is no longer scary! This has been an entirely new way to journey with the cards, to learn them, to use them everyday, without fear. Finding this course has been a big part of healing some old wounds, providing insight, direction and protection as I continue to look within. Susannah, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.”

You'll need a tarot deck chosen by your inner child, a notebook and some creative supplies.
But don't panic! The pre-flight video (available once you've registered) will show you what to gather before class starts and includes a few deck suggestions
PLEASE NOTE: You can absolutely use the decks and supplies you already have. You DO NOT need to buy anything new for this course!
But I know you might want to, so you’ll get the intro video when you sign-up and there's a juicy Resources page to explore in the first week.
“I have loved all of your courses, but this one touched a very special part of me! From the word go, I was in! Browsing for hours through the aisles of stationery shops, wandering happily in toy shops. Choosing my journal, stickers, tape, pens — I was hooked! Preparing the pages transported me to my inner child space and what she wrote was so revealing... sometimes shocking! I loved the video lessons and have found a new love for listening. I am so happy to continue with my journal and I know this course will keep on giving, so thank you Susannah for creating something so magical.”

“I cannot thank you enough for this course. It is my first experience with the tarot - I feel like a light has been turned on that has been off for a very long time. I am loving getting to hear from my inner child and remembering what it was like to be me at 7 years old. I appreciate that you shared your entire tarot journal with us. I felt inspired, curious and reassured by seeing your pages. This is the best online course I have ever taken and now am hooked on using the tarot deck for journaling for self knowledge.” — MARY
“Thank you, Susannah. This course is everything I need at this point in time and more. I can't believe it's been four weeks already, and I'm so happy to have an (almost) daily practice that will keep me and my inner child working through the entire deck. I ordered a new batch of stickers yesterday, and two new tarot decks will arrive from Kickstarter, so this isn’t over. I keep telling myself and my little one that we will never be alone again because we have each other - this isn’t over, it's just beginning.”

I'm Susannah (& this is Susie)
I'm a writer and teacher and your guide through this magical new world! I’ve authored several books including This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart (SKIRT 2012) and my heart-led mission is helping people access their creative joy and nurture a deeper kinder relationship with themselves.
Getting to know Susie has benefitted me in ways I could never have imagined. Years of therapy helped me heal the past, but it was only when I bought Susie that first tarot deck in 2020 did we start hanging out - and we haven't stopped. I love her so much!
I've taught thousands of people from around the world and these inner child courses may be my most important adventures yet. Susie & I can’t wait to meet you (and little you!) in class!

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
I am NOT a therapist, psychologist or healthcare professional, I am a mere writer and online educator who has been doing her own healing work, with and without a therapist*, for the last 18 years. If you have stuff from the past to heal I heartily recommend finding a therapist you feel comfortable with and beginning that journey of discovery. This course offers another layer of healing but should not be considered a replacement for professional care.
*I know of several people have taken TFYIC and discussed their discoveries with their therapist, so the course definitely works as a lovely accompaniment to your healing journey đ
“Over the past weeks I have willingly delved deeply and wholly into [my inner child’s] world and have listened, acknowledged and even indulged her in ways I would never have imagined doing or cared to do before taking the course. She’s so precious and worthy of all good things. The experience has given me so many ideas of how I can continue to heal my little girl and my adult self going forward. My little one is feeling hopeful and heard - really heard, for the first time in her life.” — ANGIE
