Britt Kreitman MacArthur
In this rich and soulful episode. I sat down with the wonderful Britt Kreitman MacArthur - a Reiki practitioner, tarot reader, spiritual life coach, and web wizard for spiritual entrepreneurs.
Britt shares her journey from suburban Boston to the Scottish Highlands (spoiler: it involves a serendipitous love story) and how she found a deep sense of belonging, purpose, and magic in her new home.
We explore what it means to live spiritually in a noisy, overstimulated world - from Reiki energy and tarot rituals to finding glimmers (the opposite of triggers) in everyday life.
Britt unpacks her dual-path career: helping other right-brained spiritual creatives navigate the left-brained world of websites, tech, and client management, and she does it all with a wicked sense of humour and a whole lot of heart.
We get into:
The real meaning of spirituality and why it's often more about "touching trees" than reading books
What does it mean to be a witch
How tarot, Reiki and spiritual coaching can form a toolkit for healing and connection
The cultural baggage around "woo" practices and how to deconstruct it
Why information overwhelm is paralysing us and how to push back
Living in rhythm with the seasons
How to begin your own spiritual journey - simply, slowly, and in tune with nature
And yes, Pepper is dreaming vividly in the background because, of course, she is.
Main Takeaways
Start small, start local
Want to connect spiritually? Don't jump into books and courses right away. “Go somewhere beautiful. Touch a tree. Feel the vibe.” Or start with your local yoga class - the rest will follow.
Magic = effort + serendipity
“Everything you want is on the other side of fear,” says Britt. Sometimes it’s about showing up and trusting what comes.
Reiki, Tarot, Coaching = spiritual toolkit
Use them in combination to support healing, clarity, and energetic alignment. They each bring something different to the table.
Protect your creative business
Britt’s golden rule for spiritual entrepreneurs is to always retain ownership of your website, your content, and your client list. Don’t hand over your power to developers who can’t speak your language.
Simplify your inputs
From doomscrolling to health trends, overstimulation leads to disconnection. Choose what you consume, rather than letting the algorithm feed you.
