Welcome to another week on this wild planet, friends.
Today’s messages come right from my own deck: The Corporate Oracle
This deck originally started as a joke, then snowballed into something that I saw as an interesting bridge between two worlds that feel so vastly different: corporate life and turning inward.
One thing that really fascinated me was how entrenched we are—no matter where we are—in deep archetypical lessons and energy.
I mean, who knew the water cooler would become a card that held actual lessons to ponder?
Anyways, more on the deck, how to get one, etc. in the coming weeks.
The deck featured here was a first print run, and the guidebook is on its way to being finished soon so the whole thing can find its way into the world.
Thanks for reading and have a beautiful week.

one
Merger
At the core of this card in the upright position is noticing where you have the opportunity to grow by collaborating with others, learning from others, or stepping out of your comfort zone and saying “yes” to someone’s invitation.
If you’ve been hunkering down, that’s totally fine. This time of year is perfect for that.
But this card reminds you to still seek connection and collaboration where and when you can. Even just a phone call to a friend counts.
If connecting more deeply with others feels out of balance for you, then this card is especially potent right now.
What is one thing you can do today with your energy and resources to take the first step in creating a new or deeper connection?
two
Golf Outing
When’s the last time you went out with folks to do something just for fun?
Maybe it was pickleball or bowling or a game night or karaoke…or if it’s been a while, maybe you’re drawing a blank.
This card is a reminder of the opportunities that can come from putting yourself in the mix.
It might be a deep and satisfying conversation, or a big, shiny door opening for you that you wouldn’t have known about if you hadn’t come along.
The point?
Allow yourself to say yes to something fun just for the ride. No expectations, just an open mind and heart.
three
Paycheck
At its core, this is an energetic exchange.
Even if you’re in a season where you’re not feeling terribly abundant, this card is a reminder to reflect on all of the ways your energetic exchanges impact others.
A simple smile can do wonders.
How you’ve shown up for yourself, your family, and your community recently?
These deeds add up. In order to really feel the impact of all you do, it’s important to take this time to notice how valuable you are.
If this feels a little wobbly for you, that’s okay. Take a couple of minutes to decide what you’d like to do the rest of today and this week to right that balance.
How can you offer your energy to others in an exchange that feels aligned for you?
