Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to April Federico. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

April, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

As an intuitive tarot reader, my mission is deeply rooted in my personal journey, which began with a life-altering diabetes diagnosis that pushed me toward becoming a nutritionist. That experience awakened my desire to heal and transform, first focusing on physical health. I initially turned to nutrition as a way to manage my condition, but I soon realized that true wellness goes beyond just what we eat—it involves the mind, body, and soul.

Now, as a thriving tarot reader, I integrate that holistic approach into every reading. My focus is not just on guiding others through spiritual challenges but also on nurturing the complete self. I believe that clarity in life comes when we align all aspects of who we are—our physical health, our mental resilience, and our spiritual growth. In my tarot practice, I use the cards to offer insight, healing, and guidance, encouraging others to look within and balance their entire being. Through this mind, body, and soul connection, I help clients create their own path to wholeness and empowerment.

April, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I’m April Federico, an intuitive tarot reader with a background in nutrition and creative writing, and my journey into this field has been anything but conventional. I originally chose to become a nutritionist after a scary diabetes diagnosis forced me to reevaluate my life and health. This personal experience led me to understand the connection between the physical body and overall well-being, but I quickly realized that true healing also involves the mind and soul.

As I shifted from nutrition into tarot, I found that the intuitive side of wellness was where I could make the biggest impact. Now, I combine the science of nutrition with spiritual guidance, focusing on mind, body, and soul to offer holistic readings. I help clients align these three key elements to achieve clarity, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Whether it’s through intuitive tarot readings, wellness insights, or empowerment coaching, my goal is to provide guidance that helps others unlock their potential and live authentically.

What sets me apart is my unique blend of science and spirituality. I don’t just focus on one aspect of life—I look at the full picture and help clients bring everything into balance. I’m most proud of how I’ve transformed my own struggles into a thriving practice that empowers others to do the same. For anyone seeking spiritual insight, personal clarity, or holistic wellness guidance, my brand is all about helping you tap into your inner wisdom, embrace who you truly are, and move forward with confidence.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Before I found my path in nutrition and later in tarot, I used to be what I call a “self-loathing poet.” I was constantly expressing my frustrations and inner struggles through writing, but it often came from a place of self-doubt and negativity. My poetry reflected how disconnected I felt from my true self, and it became a way to channel those feelings of uncertainty. While writing was cathartic, it didn’t provide the healing or clarity I truly needed.

It wasn’t until my diabetes diagnosis that I pivoted into the world of nutrition, and from there, I began a journey of self-discovery and healing. Nutrition taught me the importance of taking care of the body, but it was only when I embraced tarot that I was able to fully address the mind and soul as well. That shift—from a self-loathing poet to someone who empowers others through holistic wellness—illustrates how far I’ve come in aligning my passions and strengths with my true purpose. Now, I help others find that same balance and clarity, moving away from doubt and into a place of confidence and authenticity.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn is the belief that the body is invincible or indestructible, and that you can take your physical and mental health for granted. This realization hit me hard when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Up until that point, I had always assumed that if I just pushed through and kept going, my body would keep up with me no matter what. I neglected the signs of burnout, stress, and poor health because I didn’t realize how fragile the balance of wellness really is.

The diagnosis was a wake-up call. It forced me to face the reality that I couldn’t ignore my body’s needs, and I couldn’t rely on my physical health being there unless I took care of it. This experience completely shifted how I approached wellness, leading me to study nutrition and, eventually, to focus on holistic healing with mind, body, and soul. I learned that true strength comes from nurturing all aspects of yourself—not just powering through on autopilot.

Unlearning the idea that we can always bounce back without proper care has allowed me to treat my health, both physical and mental, as a precious resource, and it’s a lesson I now help others realize in my work.
