A New Year, A Tender Heart (and the Path of Rebirth)

A new year has begun… and yet, many of us still feel stuck.

In today’s episode of Oracle Mornings, Amanda shares vulnerably about moving into 2026 with excitement while also navigating a tender season of financial stress, emotional heaviness, and the “sticky” feeling that often lingers after the holidays fade.

This is a space where both hope and hardship are allowed to exist together.

Pulling from the Mother Mary Oracle by Alana Fairchild, today’s card — Our Lady of the Ocean of Rebirth — brings a message of karmic release, divine support, and the reminder that even when life feels heavy, something new is being born beneath the surface.

If you’re feeling discouraged, tired, or quietly longing for change… this message is for you.

Our Lady of the Ocean of Rebirth
From the Mother Mary Oracle by Alana Fairchild 

This card speaks to karmic healing, spiritual grace, and the profound truth that challenges are not punishments — they are initiations into deeper wisdom.

Mother Mary reminds us that when life feels especially heavy, it is often because something extraordinary is trying to emerge.

You are not being broken.
You are being reshaped.
