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

Kylie, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What do you think it takes to be successful?

I believe that the “elixir” to attaining success is composed of desire, courage, faith, and perseverance. If one follows this formula with an immense drive to achieve their goals, then success is inevitable.

Oftentimes, taking the first step toward your goals is the most frightening part. It’s easy to get excited about the end result and the final product, yet I find that the journey to the destination is equally as important. It is during this journey that you get to make mistakes, learn, and ultimately grow. Like a tunnel, you must go through it to see what is on the other side. When your desire to achieve a goal is stronger than your fear about it, you build courage—the courage to take that first step, regardless of the outcome, to face the unknown, and to take a leap of faith. With faith, you can acknowledge failure and obstacles as setbacks rather than endings.

I have encountered many “detours” on my personal voyage to success and I am thankful for each one. While I may not have appreciated them at the time, I now recognize their value. They served as reminders that success can be a mindset and a way of life, not just a title to be claimed. My many “ah-ha” and “uh-oh” moments have reinforced my belief that I can achieve any goal I pursue—if I consistently take action. When self-doubt creeps in or negative thoughts arise, I turn to my journals to reflect on my growth and progress as I affirm that I will never regret chasing my dreams.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Hi, I am Kylie … An intuitive tarot reader, Gemini, bunny mom, vegan, adventure seeker, nature lover, and overall bundle of loving energy. My soul thrives off of connection and I feel compelled to foster that through empowering others in this lifetime. Currently I do so through Divinely Directed intuitive tarot readings which serve as a way of supporting people as they navigate through life changes. I utilize tarot cards as a tool to show what is going on below the surface while providing a safe space for one to face their emotions head on, guilt & shame free. I am also working on cultivating a spiritual support program online that provides guidance on developing self love, discovering authenticity , and reprogramming subconscious beliefs.

I value authenticity and strive to hold space for beings to express themselves in the ways that feel true to them in my day to day life as well as business. Divinely Directed is a sanctuary to turn thoughts that once seemed impossible to face into your pillars of strength. I believe that we are all made of love and sometimes it takes another human reflecting our light back to us to realize our potential and progress we have made. Divinely Directed is built off of a foundation of unconditional love and designed to suit beings from all walks of life, regardless of age and life experience. It is for those eager to transform their life & craving freedom but feeling stuck in repetitive thoughts, and tied down by limiting beliefs or those simply wanting a bit of clarity. I am here to provide direction on how to reconnect with your inner being and strengthen your relationship with self along the way.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle has significantly impacted my entire life and way of being. Sounds dramatic but I will forever say that this book truly changed my life . Tolle talks about how transcending the human ego is pivotal to individual happiness and can bring an end to global suffering. His teachings throughout the book invite the reader to look within themselves to discover inner peace and freedom without a need to identify as someone or something. As the summary on the book says,” Tolle describes how our attachment to ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy , and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness”.

I read this book last year while working in a corporate job that felt draining, making me feel like I had to be someone I wasn’t. Although I had a strong vision for starting my own business, I needed to stick with the 9-5 for financial stability. The book helped me find peace in the discomfort and taught me that the present moment is neither good nor bad; it simply exists. It’s our thoughts about it that shape our feelings. I read pages every morning before work, and it allowed me to approach my day with greater awareness of my thoughts, consciously creating more supportive ones.

One paragraph discusses how ego often manifests in hierarchical forms, particularly in workplaces. After reading that, any anxiety I had about requesting time off or speaking with my bosses disappeared. I began to see them as equals, no longer placing myself in a “less than” position. There are countless gems of wisdom within those pages that can lead to profound positive changes in one’s life.

I highly recommend A New Earth and any of Eckhart Tolle’s teachings, especially for those seeking inner peace or feeling lost and unsure of where to begin.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Community has played a significant role in enhancing my reputation in tarot reading. I’m fortunate to live in a small town filled with like-minded individuals who support each other. A lot of my clients come from referrals from previous clients who had positive experiences. I began by participating in local vendor events and farmers markets, engaging in conversations with everyone I met. Seeking advice from others in the same field and taking the initiative to propose events with local businesses has greatly contributed to my learning. By putting myself out there, I’ve formed wonderful connections with various artists and entrepreneurs in the area. The community I have found has been essential in helping me build confidence and gather feedback to improve my business.
