We had the good fortune of connecting with Christina Samoylov and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christina, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
It really came about from needing to provide for my son as a single mother. Tarot helped me navigate through my divorce and I picked it up as a hobby never imaging it would become my career. In March of 2020, I was laid off my job due to Covid and found myself leaning into this hobby more and more it quickly replaced what was once my full-time income.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am an international psychic, evidential medium and tarot card reader. My business has grown organically since I started in 2020 on an app selling readings by the minute to then starting my own brand “Spiritual Strategist”. The name truly speaks for itself. Not only do I provide tarot readings and guidance but I also provide a strategy to move forward as well.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had a friend visiting for a week we would start with dinner at Vaga in Encinitas. The views here are absolutely incredible and the food is fabulous. I’d book a hotel room at the Rancho Valencia Inn with a few spa treatments for the ultimate self-care weekend. I would make sure we hit the beach and had dinner at some of my favorite spots including the taco stand, Best Pizza and Great Maple.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Honestly, it may seem silly but my son. When we were living in our one bedroom apartment and my back was up against the wall to figure out how to food on the table all I had to do was look at him, a 4 year old little boy at the time and he pushed me to grow my career to where it is today as a 6-figure spiritual entrepreneur.
