Boundaries: Protection, Separation, or Something More?
Boundaries. The word itself can feel heavy—like a fortress wall or a "Do Not Enter" sign slapped onto relationships. But what if boundaries aren’t just about keeping things out? What if they’re less about separation and more about self-awareness?
In this episode of One Card Shy, we unravel the messy, nuanced reality of boundaries—why they confuse us, when we need them, and how they might be tied to the wounds we’re still healing.


Distractions Aren’t Sabotaging Your Purpose (But That Viral Post Might)
We’ve all seen those ~deep~ Instagram posts that hit like a spiritual gut punch—only to realize, on second glance, they’re mostly guilt wrapped in a faux-wisdom burrito. Recently, Laura stumbled on one from a creator named Mark Groes:
“If you’re not creating, you’ll be hooked by consumption. This is the trap of not living your purpose. You create neural pathways for distractions to avoid the pain of abandoning your soul’s mission.”
Cue the record scratch.

Why Your Manifesting Isn’t Working (The Subconscious Mind & Soul Have Other Plans)
You’ve visualized it. You’ve journaled it. You’ve even whispered it to the Universe with a 432Hz frequency playing in the background. So why is your dream still not here? The answer might lie in the hidden battle between your conscious mind, subconscious programming, and your soul’s agenda—a trio that doesn’t always vote the same way. Here's the five-point takeaway from our One Card Shy podcast episode...


Gen Z Doctors Be Like… 😂 | Spiritual Manifesting Fails & How to Decide Anything
But since we can’t live on viral medical stories alone (sadly), in this One Card Shy episode we also talk about two things they didn’t teach us in school: how to manifest without accidentally bankrupting yourself (RIP, my yoga studio) and why keeping the door "cracked" on decisions might be your worst habit. Here are the episode highlights...


The Quilt of Consciousness: How Souls Communicate After Death (And Why Mediums Matter)
For years, spiritual teachers have described the afterlife using the same tired metaphor: "We're like drops returning to the ocean of consciousness." But here's the problem with that - when a drop enters the ocean, it ceases to be distinct. Yet anyone who's received a visit from a departed loved one knows: they still feel like them. We'd like to propose an alternative framework - what if consciousness is actually a cosmic quilt?


The Record Groove Effect: Why Your Brain Repeats Spiritual & Physical Patterns (And How To Stop)

At Reign, we call this phenomenon the "Record Groove Effect" - those deep neural and energetic ruts that keep us cycling through the same experiences.


Dating apps are missing the point—but Bumble’s CEO might be fixing it
