Marisha Wallace appears on Miss Fortunes Podcast admitting to true predictions

Disclosure. Based on a press release. The claims and figures are the company's own.

Combining tarot, intuition and personal insight, Miss Leigh Ding offers a fresh perspective on life’s biggest questions on her podcast, Miss Fortunes.

This week’s guest is West End and Broadway sensation Marisha Wallace. Miss Fortune does a reading about Marisha’s mother, Marisha’s scam experience, rebuilding after losing money. Marisha shares the story of being on Big Brother and meeting a tarot reader, she thought they would let her know who to evict from the house but instead they said she would be at The Olivier Awards, nominated for Best Actress (which ended up happening in 2024 and 2023).

Key themes below:

  • The Chariot
  • Timestamp: 01:45:09 - 01:45:52
  • MISS LEIGH: “The Chariot, even though it's in your present, it's still a very clear sign that this is not over.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “And I think as you go through the next phase of life, the next five years, to every now and again stop and just take a look around at what you've built.” MISS LEIGH: “I believe it's a yes. I believe that yes, you will be very successful in the music industry… But it's not what's important to you to be there.”
  • MARISHA: “You're right. I know.”
  • Why: A clear tarot reading moment with a prediction and a strong guest reaction. Good for a clip focused on ambition, purpose and the future.
  • 2. Reading about Marisha’s mother
  • Timestamp: 01:16:55 - 01:18:38
  • MISS LEIGH: “Your dad is your dad, also a musician. Yes. There's a really weird energy around this card. So the night of pentacles is quite a nice card in terms of like, it is a protector of like your physical level. But I don't necessarily think that was your daddy's office. I think anyone, that was probably more your mommy was like your real life. Trying to protect you from not like physical harm, but like the emotional scenarios that were going around.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “But I feel like there's a real energy of like the night is ironic for you. And she passed the arm around to you to protect you from what was going on around you.” MISS LEIGH: “And I feel like she always wanted you to believe that you could be anything.”
  • MARISHA: “Yeah. That's totally right.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “Did you ever promise your mom that you would change her life?”
  • 3. Miss Leigh explains her approach to tarot
  • Timestamp: 01:12:06 - 01:12:23
  • MISS LEIGH: “It's never about cards. It's always, it's just a story. I'm going to tell you a story and you tell me if I'm wrong… But it's just about the energy.”
  • MARISHA: “I'm very spiritual.”
  • Why: Useful introductory content that explains Miss Leigh’s style and makes the reading accessible to people unfamiliar with tarot.
  • 4. Strength
  • Timestamp: 01:24:03 - 01:25:24
  • MISS LEIGH: “You've hit a lot of failures and bounced back on.”
  • MARISHA: “Oh my God, I've had to fight my way out of everything.”
  • MARISHA: “I've lost everything and I've got to lose it again and I can get it back. And if it does, it makes me not afraid to take risks. Cause I'm like, I've lost it all. I've got it back triple the amount. It's fine.”
  • MARISHA: “There was a lot of joy. I've had lots of joy, but that's why I've turned my pain into joy.”
  • 5. The horses - (ambition and creating a legacy)
  • Timestamp: 01:47:55 - 01:48:34
  • MISS LEIGH: “I also think it's very interesting that all of your cards … have you riding on a horse. Oh, horses. Absolutely showcases how far you're willing to go to do what you want to do.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “And I think part of the legacy would be creating something that's not yet been created.”
  • MARISHA: “Oh, I'm doing that now. I'm doing that right now.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “Yeah. And I feel like that is the career legacy.”
  • Why: Good visual detail from the tarot reading, followed by Marisha affirming that she is already building something new. Strong for ambition and career focused messaging.
  • 6. “You might get knocked down again”
  • Timestamp: 01:46:26 - 01:46:45
  • MISS LEIGH: “Oh, and you are absolutely the kind of girl that gets knocked down.” MARISHA: “Yeah.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “And you might get knocked down again.”
  • MARISHA: “I might get knocked down again.”
  • MARISHA: “It's been exciting to always break those barriers down because it opens it up for other people.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “And you feel like you'll get back on that horse again.”
  • MISS LEIGH: “You can't base that on what other people see success in.”
  • Why it works: Short and motivational. Could be edited around resilience and defining success on your own terms.
  • 7. Marisha’s Big Brother fortune-teller story
  • Timestamp: Approx. 01:36:40 - 01:37:40
  • MARISHA: Marisha recounts being sent to a fortune teller ball during Big Brother. She expected it to say she would need to evict someone, but instead it said she would be at the Royal Albert Hall because she had been nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Actress. She screamed, and the house celebrated.
