Season 2, Episode 1: Catching Up, Heated Rivalry & Finding Our Balance in Uncertain Times. Season 2 of Bears, Tea & Tarot begins with Graham and Richard catching up after the Christmas break — checking in with how they’re really doing, what the festive season stirred up, and how it feels to return to everyday life when the world still feels uncertain. The conversation then turns to Heated Rivalry, the much-talked-about gay hockey story, using it as a springboard to explore themes of competition, desire, masculinity, and emotional tension. With humour, insight, and plenty of personality, Graham and Richard reflect on what rivalry can awaken in us — attraction, comparison, ambition, vulnerability — and why these dynamics can be both compelling and psychologically charged. As the episode deepens, the tone gently shifts into something more grounded and reflective. Listeners are invited into a guided meditation designed to restore balance, calm the nervous system, and offer a pause from the noise of uncertainty. The episode closes with tarot readings focused on maintaining mental health and staying positive during challenging times, using the cards as tools for reflection, emotional insight, and empowerment rather than prediction. Thoughtful, playful, and ultimately grounding, this episode sets the tone for Season 2 — where psychology meets spirituality, laughter sits alongside depth, and no topic is off-limits when approached with curiosity and care.
