This morning, Amanda shares a simple but profound reminder to trust in the great mystery of life. Inspired by a quiet moment with a deer in the field, she pulls the Whale Spirit card from The Spirit Animal Pocket Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid.
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. Just like the seeds of intention we’ve been planting this season, there are forces beyond our sight—angels, spirit, the unseen realms—tending to them on our behalf.
In this episode, Amanda reflects on:
Why the everyday moments in nature can feel miraculous
How Whale Spirit guides us to embrace mystery rather than fear it
The synchronicity between trusting the unseen and the harvest season we’re moving through
Take a deep breath, let yourself rest in the unknown, and remember that life’s mysteries are not meant to be solved—they’re meant to be lived.

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.
