The Spiritual Meaning Behind Physical Symptoms (My Migraine Story)
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 wi...

How Ancestral Patterns Shape Us (And How to Rewrite the Future)
If you're longing for a deeper, daily ritual... Your oracle practice becomes so much more powerful when you give your messages a place to land.

Your "Vibe" Is The Magnet For What You Manifest
The Daily Oracle Journal is now available on Amazon! Today’s episode explores something we all feel, even if we don’t always have language for it: the energy you walk into a room with, the vibration your body is broadcasting, and how that frequency quietly shapes your reality. Amanda shares a sweet story from her family trip to France, which includes a moment of pure energetic connection that had nothing to do with words and everything to do with vibration (and dogs!). From there, she breaks down how manifestation isn’t just about desire… it’s abo...

Can Spirituality Improve Your Fitness Routine?
Amanda celebrates a full year of consistent movement — a milestone that feels less like discipline and more like devotion.

Today’s card, Purification, from The Medicine Woman Oracle by Catherine Maillard, reminds us to care for our energy as sacred. Join Amanda for an inspiring reminder that every small, intentional step — whether on the mat, the trail, or in your living room — is a movement toward balance...

Begin Your Next Adventure Right Where You Are
Amanda reminds you that every great adventure — spiritual or otherwise — begins right where you are. When we look up the mountain of growth or see others further along on their path, it’s easy to slip into comparison or envy. But what if, instead of wishing you were somewhere else, you let curiosity guide you? Amanda pulls the Hedgehog — Curiosity, Wonder, Healthy Boundaries card from the 13 Holy Nights Oracle deck by Lara J Day and explores how cultivating a sense of wonder can turn comparison into inspiration and self-acceptance. Wherever you are today is exact...

Joy Can’t Be Outsourced
In this gentle Monday episode of Oracle Mornings, Amanda continues the conversation inspired by Mel Robbins’ message on bringing more happiness, fun, and play into our lives.

The Whale Spirit invites us to let go of the need to understand everything with our minds and instead lean into trust, intuition, and awe.
