Today, Amanda reflects on September as a natural new year, drawing inspiration from Rosh Hashanah and the rhythms of the harvest season. This is the perfect time to release what no longer serves us—and plant seeds of intention for the year ahead.
Today’s oracle card, Lady of Lhasa Descends from Alana Fairchild’s Wild Kuan Yin Oracle, carries a powerful reminder: we don’t always need to strive, climb, or push to manifest what we seek. Sometimes, the Divine meets us where we are, offering grace, blessings, and comfort when we soften into trust and receptivity.
💫 Key themes in this episode:
September as a sacred time of endings and beginnings
Letting go what no longer serves us—fear, doubt, guilt, scarcity
Planting seeds—of joy, fun, and abundance
Trusting the Divine Mother to deliver what we’ve been seeking
Shifting from striving into receiving with grace
Affirmation: I release fear, doubt, and striving. I open my heart with trust, ready to receive the Divine gifts flowing toward me with ease and grace

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.
