Oracle Mornings: Where oracle cards awaken your morning ritual

In today’s episode, Amanda explores the numerology behind endings and beginnings and why 2025 marks a nine year of completion, and how 2026 ushers in the initiating energy of a one year.
To anchor this transition, she pulls an oracle card for the year ahead: Elder Tree from the 13 Holy Nights Oracle by Lara J Day.
This episode is an invitation to honor what is ending, release what has served its purpose, and consciously choose how you want to live as a new cycle begins.
In numerology, time moves in nine-year cycles.
2025 (9 Year): completion, closure, compassion, release
2026 (1 Year): fresh starts, new energy, seed-planting
If life feels like it’s falling apart right now, it may actually be falling away. Endings in a nine year don’t mean failure; they mean something has fulfilled its role. You’re not behind. You’re clearing space.
Key Takeaways: 
Living with awareness of impermanence isn’t meant to scare you.It’s meant to wake you up.
When you remember that nothing is guaranteed, you stop postponing joy, truth, love, and alignment.
You still have time.And now is a powerful moment to choose differently.
Affirmation: I honor what is ending, trust the wisdom of the cycle, and choose to live fully — right here, right now.

Today’s message is an intimate one. I’m sharing a moment from a breathwork session inside my mastermind; a moment where everyone else felt lighter, clearer, more whole… and I felt sadness. A deep, unexpected sadness that sat heavy on my heart.
My coach gently offered that what I might be feeling is grief. It's the grief that arrives when you start releasing the version of yourself you’ve been, so you can step toward your 2.0 self. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the in-between, a little lonely, or unsure of who you’re becoming… this episode is for you.
We also pull today’s card from The Medicine Woman Oracle — Sisterhood — a reminder that connection, shared stories, and women walking the path beside you might be the medicine your heart is craving.
If you’ve been navigating change, expansion, or that strange liminal space, I hope today’s message helps you feel less alone.
Card Pulled: 
Sisterhood from The Medicine Woman Oracle by Catherine Maillard 
A call to gather, reconnect, and remember that you were never meant to walk your awakening alone. Women’s stories weave together into medicine, and healing happens inside shared circles, not isolated caves.
Key Takeaways:
Grief is a natural part of spiritual awakening — it often arises as you shed the parts of yourself that no longer align.
The in-between can feel lonely, heavy, or disorienting — but it’s also sacred ground for becoming.
You are not “behind”; you are transitioning.
Sisterhood, community, and shared spaces can be powerful antidotes to the isolation that expansion sometimes brings.
You can honor the past version of yourself while still choosing to grow beyond her.
Affirmation: “I honor who I’ve been, I welcome who I’m becoming, and I walk this path supported and never alone.”

In today’s episode, Amanda shares a personal experience many listeners may relate to—physical symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere. After a month of unusually frequent migraines, she followed a thread of curiosity into the Kabbalistic meaning behind them… and what she discovered hit home in a big way.
According to Kabbalah, physical symptoms often point to energetic or spiritual blockages, and migraines can signal intuition trying to pour in faster than your vessel is able to receive.
Amanda explores what it means to expand your vessel—a concept we’ve been working with on the podcast—and how this message became a gentle invitation to deepen into self-trust and inner connection.
She then pulls a card from The Law of Positivism Healing Oracle by Shereen Öberg—a beautiful reminder from the heart chakra:“I deserve to receive and give love.”
You’ll hear a heart-opening visualization and breathing practice to help you expand your inner space, soften your body, and reconnect with the divine flow within you.
This one is soothing, reflective, and deeply supportive if you’ve been navigating any physical or emotional heaviness lately.
 
Journaling Prompts (you can use the Daily Oracle Journal for this!): 
Has your body been sending you any recurring messages lately?
What emotions or intuitive nudges might be trying to come through?
Where do you feel “tightness” or “pressure” in your life right now?
What helps you feel more open, receptive, or heart-centered?
How might expanding your vessel change the way you move through this season?
Affirmation: “My heart is open. My vessel is expanding. I am ready to receive.”

Today’s episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to chase the next big thing to feel like you’re moving forward. In fact, the real magic (the momentum, the clarity, the joy) is often hidden inside the smallest next step.
We explore how striving for something far ahead can pull you out of the present moment, and why coming back to now might actually be the most powerful spiritual practice you can choose. Even though winter has just begun here in the Northeast, your soul may be entering its own spring: the season of renewal, new life force, and fresh beginnings.
Then we pull from Wild Kuan Yin Oracle by Alana Fairchild and receive the beautiful message of Sisters of the Spring Swallow — Good Fortune Granted, a reminder that what looks dormant is already stirring with life.
Journaling Prompts: 
“The next small step I feel called toward is…”
“If I soften my striving, I notice that…”
“My soul feels like spring in these ways…”
“Today, presence looks like…”
“A tiny shift that could change everything is…”

Affirmation: “I trust the small step. I trust the timing. I trust the unfolding.”

Today’s episode brings you a powerful and deeply aligned message for the month of December — a month of closure, awakening, clarity, and inner flame.
We’re officially in Sagittarius season, a time ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, truth, freedom, and next-level vision. This is the part of the year when old patterns feel too small, outdated versions of ourselves feel heavy, and our soul begins craving more meaning, more honesty, more freedom, and more alignment.
You’ll hear:- Why December feels like both a ending and a beginning- What Sagittarius energy activates in your soul- Why old patterns or emotional loops might be resurfacing- How to work with this month’s energy (instead of resisting it)- What your intuition is trying to show you right now- A beautiful card pull from Rebecca Campbell’s Work Your Light Oracle Cards, “Share Your Voice,” which ties perfectly into this theme of release, expansion, and courage
December is inviting you to loosen your grip on old identities and open your heart to what’s next. Your soul wants to stretch. Your voice wants to rise. Your next chapter is already forming.
Journaling Prompts: Use these inside The Daily Oracle Journal
Where is my soul craving more freedom?What truth is rising in me this month?What pattern or story feels ready to be shed?What version of myself is calling me forward?What am I no longer willing to carry into the new year?
Affirmation: I release what no longer fits and open myself to the expansion my soul is ready for.

In today's episode, Amanda explains what one of her son's described as feeling "flat" after the Thanksgiving holiday. It inspired a card pull from Colette Baron-Reid's Spirit Animal Pocket Oracle deck. The card pulled was the Eagle Spirit, which calmly reminds us that spirit is supporting, guiding, and we're never truly walking alone.
It's a powerful message about rising above heaviness, finding clarity, and remembering your inner resilience. Take a breath, reconnect, and let this gentle guidance lift you into a new vibration.

Card Pulled: Welcoming the Help of Others from The Empath’s Oracle by Raven Digitalis, and illustrated by Konstantin Bax. 
Coming off of Thanksgiving, today’s episode is an invitation to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself — especially if you’re an empath who just navigated a lot of energy, conversations, expectations, and family dynamics.
The holidays can be beautiful… and also overwhelming.Being around so many people (and so many different nervous systems) can feel like an emotional marathon, even when everything goes well. And if you found yourself around people whose energy doesn’t quite match yours, you’re not alone — that’s part of the empath experience.
Today’s card, Welcoming the Help of Others, arrives with such perfect timing.It reminds us that receiving support is not just okay… it’s wise. It’s sacred. And it’s part of how we stay resourced during seasons that ask a lot of us.
I share more about why empaths and healers are especially encouraged to seek support — emotional, energetic, and practical — and why the act of receiving is a spiritual practice all on its own.
This episode is your reset. A reminder that you don’t have to carry everything on your shoulders as we move deeper into the holiday season. Support is meant for you.
Journaling prompts:
Where did you feel the most energetically overwhelmed during your holiday gathering?
What moments revealed that you needed more support than you allowed yourself to receive?
What kind of help — space, tenderness, tasks, grounding — would genuinely benefit you right now?
How can you practice receiving today without guilt?
Interested in the perfect journal for this? It serves as a fabulous tool for a  grounding ritual for the season, The Daily Oracle Journal
Affirmation: I honor my sensitivity. I welcome support with openness, confidence, and ease.

Today’s episode is an invitation to stop pushing, striving, and proving, and instead soften into trust. As we move through a busy holiday week, this message from the Surrender card reminds us that what’s meant for us flows in much more effortlessly when we relax into our own magnetism.
I share a passage from Senna Zen’s beautiful deck, a gentle healing process you can speak aloud, and a reminder that your worth is inherent. Nothing you desire requires you to earn your place. Your openness, your presence, and your ability to receive are the true channels of creation.
Card Pulled: Surrender from the Self-Love & Inner Unity Oracle by Senna Zen Art.
Affirmation: I give myself permission to receive with ease.I trust and surrender.I let go and find flow.

If you’ve ever wondered how someone actually creates an oracle deck, where those messages come from, or how to trust your own inner wisdom more deeply… this one is for you.
In this bonus chat-style interview, I’m joined by spiritual intuitive artist and oracle deck creator Senna Scott of Senna Zen Art.
We talk about how her Self-Love and Inner Unity Oracle deck was born through 60+ channeled paintings, what it means to let your art become a channel for the divine, and how our spiritual tools have guided us through burnout, awakening, and big life transitions.
We also explore twin flames, shadow work, motherhood, and the truth that you can absolutely “start where you are” with oracle cards and journaling. At the end, Senna pulls a beautiful three-card reading for all of us: Bathed in Warm Honey, Wild Woman, and Limitless.
