If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m a big fan of positive affirmation cards and oracle card decks. Heck, I even created my own deck!

While affirmation cards are a go-to tool to help shift your perspective and bring in more positive energy, oracle cards are great to lean on for additional guidance and support when you’re seeking clarity. Both have their purpose, and over the years I’ve gathered a little collection of my own decks.

Here are four inspiring oracle and affirmation card decks for women you can grab on Amazon!

This past weekend, I hosted a mini women’s circle to gather in nature, unplug and connect with one another. It so happened to fall on the full moon eclipse, which was perfect for the theme of our circle — in letting go to create more space for the new.

Personally, I had been feeling very foggy and “stuck in the mud” recently, and based on feedback from the collective it seems I was not alone in these feelings. It got me thinking about how lotus flowers grow from the mud — and that in order for us to bloom and get to the other side we first need to grow through the muck. The ugly. The sludge.

The beauty of it is that once we release that which isn’t serving us, we can come out the other side as a truer version of ourselves…as the lotus flower. After a brief discussion around this theme, we spent some time journaling out a very simple yet potent prompt: What are you clinging onto that you’re ready to release?

We then took part in an exercise where we chose an item to represent something we were ready to let go of…and we … Read More!

In my 20s I worked at a fancy little bakery in Boston serving up cappuccinos, treats + paninis. I was never trained on how to make a latte pretty and it was too fast paced for my vibe, but they liked me because I was friendly. 

I lasted 2 weeks before I quit but I remember those days like it was yesterday — particularly opening up the bakery at 5am with “Mushaboom” by Feist playing loudly over the speakers. With tired eyes, I remember inhaling the strong scent of espresso as I flipped over the tables — daydreaming about my future.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but those lyrics were so fitting. “It may be years until the day my dreams will match up with my pay”

I worked so, SO many jobs in between then and now.

I’ve always been super tuned in with energy — I feel things on a deep level and I’m highly intuitive. Fun fact: I had a vivid dream of my nephew’s name (Grayson) before my sister even announced it.

I also love energy work. I’ve experienced reiki, energy healings, yoga, acupuncture, chakra balancing and more.

Anyway, for the past several years I’ve been considering diving deeper into this energy work through reiki, and this past winter finally got the nudge that now is the time.

Through the past few months I’ve done a deep dive into the world of reiki and I’m over the moon to announce that I am now officially Reiki I and II attuned.

What the heck is reiki, anyway?

Put simply, we’re all made up of energy and energy is all around us — it’s everywhere. Reiki is a form of energy healing to help support and balance the body, on both a physical and emotional level (through gentle touch or distance healing). In fact, studies have shown reiki to benefit both physical and psychological health.

My journey with reiki has been such an eye opening experience and I’m so excited to begin sprinkling it … Read More!

Friendly reminder: GROW at your own pace.

With the state of the world and the coming of a seasonal shift, the energy has been A LOT lately. It’s filled with ebbs + flows, ups + downs, and highs + lows. The really big stuff and the little everyday ‘mundane’ things can all feel like a lot.

Do you feel it too? 

If you’re feeling a bit stuck in the mud right now, here’s your reminder that you’re not alone. Be it career advancement, processing your emotions, financial stuff or spiritual growth, we all grow on our own time. 

It’s not always pretty.

It’s not always linear.

It certainly isn’t always easy.

And guess what? When you feel stuck and uncomfortable, that my friend is growth. 

So wherever you are in your journey, take some time today to celebrate where you’re at right now, here in this moment.… Read More!

The New Year is upon us! If you’ve been around here a while, you know I’m not really a fan of the traditional goal setting or New Year’s resolutions. Rather, I prefer to set intentions.

The main difference: while goals and resolutions are typically based on a particular outcome, intentions are heart-centered and based upon how you want to feel. As we head into 2022, here are four simple ways to bring more intention into your new year — starting now.

4 Simple Intention Setting Exercises

1. Choose 3 Words

2. Turn to Your Affirmation Cards

3. Create a Morning Mantra

4. Make a Vision Board

1. Choose 3 Words

One of my all-time favorite New Year’s activities is choosing three words to carry into the year ahead. Spend some time reflecting on the energy you want to bring into 2022, simply asking yourself, “How do I want to feel?” Once you’re clear, write it down.

I’ve been doing this practice for the past five years or so, and it’s a game-changer when it comes to living with more intention. My words for 2022: impact, easygoing and in tune. Bring it on!

2. Turn to Your Affirmation

While it may be the most wonderful time of the year, the holidays can also bring upon a mix of emotions. Whether you’re dealing with grief from a recent loss, anxiety around food or holiday shopping stress, here’s my three tried and true tools to bring more joy and bliss into the season.

Gratitude

It all starts with gratitude. Simply put, when we focus on what we’re grateful for, our life becomes more full. Challenge yourself to write down three things you are grateful for every day, and watch the abundance of blessings flow in.

Whether you enjoy writing in a gratitude journal, keeping a gratitude jar for your family or simply reflecting on your many blessings, try to make it a part of your daily routine.

Mindfulness

The holidays are a great time to slow down and be here in the now! Soak up the taste of your favorite holiday foods (without guilt), pull an affirmation card to tune inward, take a brisk meditative walk outside or do a body scan.

If you’re feeling the urge to unplug from technology, this is also a great season to attempt doing a digital detox — an intentional break from … Read More!
