In today’s episode of Oracle Mornings, Amanda shares a late-night story about her pup’s unexpected run-in with a porcupine—and how it became a reminder of nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and remembering that you are the adult in the room.
Pulling the Porcupine card from The Spirit Animal Pocket Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid, we’re invited to approach life with innocence and curiosity, letting go of old limiting stories. Porcupine also reminds us to check in with our defenses—are we protecting ourselves from real harm, or from opportunities for love, abundance, and joy?
This gentle yet powerful message asks us to return to a beginner’s mind, stay curious, and soften where we may be bristling.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
