About · Tereza Škraňka
I'm Tereza. Oracle, songwriter, former systems auditor, and the last therapist some of my clients ever needed.
Where it started.
When I was a kid, my parents would talk about somebody's problem at the dinner table. An aunt, a colleague, a family friend.
I'd listen for a minute and tell them what to do.
My dad would look at me, half amazed and half irritated, and say:
He didn't mean it as a compliment exactly. He meant: most people don't get to skip the part where you struggle to figure something out.
He was right.
I do see things other people miss. I also see the solutions. It's always been like that.
The first chapter.
Almost a decade. I trained other auditors. I consulted on one of the most expensive cases in automotive history. I won't name it.
What kept me there longer than I expected was the work itself. It was already the seer-brain in disguise. Reading the gap between what a system claimed and what was actually true. Finding the people behind the broken structure. Rebuilding what was off.
I had a great boss in those years. He was the scaffolding that let the work mean something.
Then he was sent into early retirement. He didn't want to go.
The dynamics changed. The work stopped making sense. We moved back to the Czech Republic, and my next boss was a psycho.
I promised myself: when I get pregnant, I'm not coming back.
I got pregnant. I didn't come back.
Between identities.
I knew I needed to do something on my own. I had a small son. We didn't have childcare around us. My husband and I were holding the family together on our own, and I had to bring in income.
Fitness and nutrition had been part of my life for years. I tried to build a coaching practice around it. The first months were great.
Then it started to drain me. The people drained me.
I didn't know yet that this was data. I thought I was failing.
So I did what most people do when they don't know what they are. I went looking. I worked with business mentors. I worked with coaches. Some of them were good. Some of them were okay. Some of them were genuinely shitty.
I was carrying their projections without realising. Years of how I should live, how I should work, what I should do.
Somewhere in there, I found Human Design. It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about myself. It gave me a language for what I'd been living through.
The thing I almost didn't tell you.
Even though I know a lot, I know I don't know everything. I get imposter syndrome.
Then I look around at the people selling themselves as experts in this field, and I realise I know more than most of them.
I have three university degrees in business, international management, and marketing. I spent almost a decade auditing emission labs across four continents. I sit with clients all week and pattern-match across what I see.
Knowing more isn't what makes me good at this. The seeing does.
The reason I'm telling you all of this is that I know how the marketing world works. I've studied it formally. I've watched it weaponise insecurity for two decades. The hardest thing I ever did was market myself in a way that didn't feel like becoming part of the problem.
That's why Sell Without The Ick exists. I built the thing I wished someone had built for me.
The word that fit.
A few years into the personal brand work, I had a reading with a psychic astrologer who also knows Human Design. She kept saying the words intuitive and psychic.
Both of them felt off when she said them.
I sat with it for a few weeks. Tried them on. Took them off.
Then Oracle and Seer came in, and they fit.
Not because I'd changed. Because someone had finally given me a word that didn't shrink what I'd been doing my whole life into something more palatable.
The seeing was already there at the dinner table when I was a kid. It was there in the audit work. It was there with every fitness client I drained myself on. It was there in every reading, every conversation, every report.
I just hadn't named it.
If you ask me at a dinner party.
I see things other people miss. I also see the solutions.
Most people at dinner parties don't quite understand what I do. The effects of the seeing are hard to describe to someone who hasn't experienced it.
So I keep it simple.
Not the only therapist. Not a replacement for therapy. The last one. The one who hands you back your own clarity so completely that you can run your own life from there.
If that sounds dramatic, you haven't worked with me yet.
One client moment.
I wrote a brand archetype and ideal client analysis for Alessandra Lanzafame. She's a practitioner herself.
Her response was:
"This is absolutely GENIUS! And it has confirmed my ideal client is set correctly. Finally. I wanna learn how to analyse this too. Fuck, teach me. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANNA TALK ABOUT."
When another seer asks you to teach her how you see, you know you're holding something specific.
The other thing I do.
I was a kid in a band. Lead singer. We split up around 15 when everyone went to high school. I tried university music and didn't really show up for it.
Music stepped aside in my twenties without me noticing.
Then on Erasmus in Düsseldorf I wrote a song. Someone asked if I could sing it. I said yes. I went up on a stage and sang it.
While I was up there, I realised how much I love this.
Years later — with the tools we have now — I came back to it. I produce my own music. I write songs about the things I see in the world that don't have anywhere else to go.
If something I see is too big to fit inside one client session, it ends up in a song.

Texture, not biography.
My son wakes me up. "Mom, wake up." That's the start.
The rest of the day depends. Sometimes I'm at home reading charts and writing reports. Sometimes I'm in session. Sometimes I'm at the studio, working on a song. Sometimes I'm at the kitchen table answering email and saying no to things I would have said yes to a year ago.
No two days look the same. The work is rhythmic, not scheduled.
If you'd like me to look at yours, the Oracle Session is where we sit down.
I also write songs. Find them at terezaskranka.com.
