    Fire Horse Year Energy: What You Must Release to Ride the Change

    In this second episode of the Fire Horse mini series, we explore what it truly means to release old stories, fears, and emotional baggage so you can keep up with the bold, fast-moving Fire Horse energy of 2026. Letting go isn’t always dramatic — and it isn’t always instant. Sometimes release is quiet. Sometimes it’s messy. And sometimes it requires you to trust that divine timing is rearranging things behind the scenes. Today’s oracle card comes from Wild Kuan Yin Oracle by Alana Fairchild. The card pulled is Wild Red Rider – Blessing Bestowed, a powerful message about surrendering control, embracing the unpredictable, and allowing grace to shake things up for your highest good. If you’ve been gripping tightly to something, maybe a fear, a routine, a role, or a story, this episode will help you gently explore what might be ready to be put down. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in: Chinese zodiac Fire Horse year energy Spiritual release practices Oracle card guidance Letting go of fear and comparison Emotional healing and self-trust Journaling prompts for personal growth Main Themes in This Episode Why release is necessary in a fast-moving energetic year The difference between dramatic “letting go” and quiet release Why surrender doesn’t mean weakness Trusting divine timing when life feels out of control How fear of “what might happen” keeps us gripping too tightly Journaling Prompts What have I been gripping tightly lately? What worry keeps circling back? What am I afraid would happen if I let this go? If I trusted divine timing, what would I loosen my hold on today?

    How to Interrupt Negative Thought Cycles and Reclaim Inner Freedom

    What does it really mean to live in congruence with your true self? In today’s Oracle Mornings episode, Amanda explores how unconscious habits, emotional loops, and conditioned beliefs can quietly shape our lives—and how awareness allows us to break free. Drawing the Amethyst card from the 13 Holy Nights Oracle deck by Lara J Day, today’s message focuses on releasing addictive thought patterns, healing emotional wounds, and reconnecting with the present moment. Amethyst reminds us that freedom begins with awareness: when we pause, notice our emotional responses, and compassionately interrupt old patterns, we reclaim our energy and step into our most authentic selves. If you’ve been feeling stuck in repeating cycles of fear, anxiety, or limiting beliefs, this episode offers practical grounding tools to help regulate your nervous system, reconnect with the present moment, and move forward with greater clarity, self-acceptance, and inner freedom.   Key Takeaways Congruence means showing up as your authentic self in every situation. Many “addictions” are subtle, repetitive emotional or thought patterns that keep us stuck. Awareness creates the pause needed to choose differently. Grounding your nervous system supports real transformation. Compassion, not self-criticism, is the gateway to lasting change. Affirmation I gently release the patterns that no longer serve me. I return to the present moment, free, aware, and aligned with my true self. Note: Some links above are affiliate links.

    Living in Congruence: How to Align Your Life With Your True Self

    What does it really mean to live in congruence and to show up as your true self in every part of your life? In today’s Oracle Mornings episode, Amanda explores the powerful concept of living in alignment with your truth rather than continuing to operate from old conditioning, inherited beliefs, or perfectionism. When we release outdated stories and the pressure to be perfect, we create space for authentic expression, creativity, and deeper self-trust. Today’s oracle message reminds us that healing happens when we allow our ideas, dreams, and authentic selves to live without judgment. Through reflection and a powerful declaration, you’ll be invited to release fear-based thinking and step more fully into your aligned path. If you are on a self-growth, spiritual awakening, or authenticity journey, this episode offers gentle guidance to help you live with greater congruence, confidence, and self-acceptance. CARD PULLED: Release the Dark Wound - Let Love Live  From Sacred Rebels Oracle by Alana Fairchild Key Message: Congruence is not about perfection; it is about alignment. When we release inherited expectations, self-judgment, and fear-based thinking, we allow our authentic nature to lead. Living in alignment with your truth creates more ease, creativity, and confidence in every area of life. Journaling & Reflection (Find The Daily Oracle Journal here) Where in my life am I still showing up as an older version of myself? What beliefs or conditioning am I ready to release? If I lived fully in alignment with my truth, what would feel different today? What creative idea or dream am I ready to allow to live without judgment? ------ ✨ Stay connected!

    Trust the Invisible Workings of Love: February Oracle Guidance

    The heart knows how to heal. A February Oracle Card Message. In today’s episode, we continue working with the February energy and return to a powerful shadow deck by Alana Fairchild — the Kali Oracle. Today we pulled the Anahata Kali card.  This deck gently (and sometimes fiercely) brings awareness to what needs our attention so true healing can occur. Today’s message centers on the heart — its wisdom, resilience, and incredible capacity to heal, open, break, and repair itself into something even stronger than before. If you’ve been moving through emotional healing, heartache, or a season of deep transformation, this message is for you. Key Takeaways:  The heart is a powerful temple of spirit — not fragile, but resilient Emotional pain can expand our capacity for love rather than diminish it Love’s power is invisible, yet unconquerable Healing doesn’t come from control, but from trust Keeping the heart open allows divine guidance and protection to flow The journey of the soul is a journey from the head to the heart This oracle also speaks to those who have experienced heartbreak — in relationships, spiritual communities, friendships, or even faith itself — reminding us that something deeper is unfolding beneath the surface. Affirmation: I trust the wisdom of my heart. Love is healing me, guiding me, and protecting me. Stay Connected - Sign up for my newsletter here!

    February Big Bold Vision: Trusting the Dream Before You Know the How

    In today’s episode of Oracle Mornings, we explore February energy through the powerful Big Bold Vision card from the Sacred Rebels Oracle by Alana Fairchild. This oracle reading is an invitation to remember that you were never meant to play small. Even if you don’t yet know how your dreams will unfold, the vision itself is real—and it’s arriving for a reason. This episode offers gentle guidance for trusting your intuition, releasing limited thinking, and giving yourself permission to dream bigger than logic allows. We also reflect on authenticity in a time when it feels increasingly rare, and why living from your true, intuitive self matters more than ever. If you’ve been daydreaming, feeling pulled toward something bigger, or sensing that a new chapter is quietly forming, this message is for you. Listen in for encouragement, reflection prompts, and a reminder that when a vision is meant for you, support and synchronicity will meet you along the way. Journaling and Reflection Prompts (Use the Daily Oracle Journal): What dreams or visions have been quietly circling my awareness lately? Where might I be limiting myself because I don’t yet see how it will work? What would it feel like to surrender the details and trust the unfolding? If I gave myself permission to dream bigger, what would I explore—just for fun? Affirmation: I give myself permission to hold big, bold visions. I trust that support will meet me as I move forward.

    February Oracle Card Message: How to Move in a New Direction with Confidence

    In today’s Oracle Mornings episode, I share a February oracle card message using the Angels and Ancestors deck by Kyle Gray. This oracle card reading focuses on trusting change, moving in a new direction with confidence, and receiving spiritual guidance from angels and ancestors as you step into a new chapter. This message speaks to the nomadic spirit within us, ancestral wisdom, and the quiet courage it takes to follow a path that may feel unfamiliar—but deeply aligned. Whether this season is calling you toward literal travel, inner transformation, or a new chapter altogether, you are reminded that you are never walking alone. Take a breath, soften your grip, and listen for what your soul is ready to explore next. Key Themes: February as a doorway to new energy and fresh momentum Trusting ancestral guidance when life asks you to shift course Outer journeys vs. inner awakenings Letting go of excess so the path forward feels lighter Recognizing how far you’ve already come Affirmation: I trust the path unfolding before me. Every step I take is supported, guided, and meaningful. A message from Amanda:  This message landed deeply for me, especially as someone whose ancestors came from many different places. The idea of being guided by both angels and ancestors feels especially potent right now. As always, remember that your interpretation may look different than mine, and that’s the magic of this work. I’d love to hear how this message landed for you. Stay connected! Sign up for my newsletter here.
