Have you ever woken up exhausted—despite a full night’s sleep?
In this episode of One Card Shy, we explore a real psychic reading that uncovers why fatigue isn’t always physical. Sometimes, your energy is hijacked by something deeper: a part of you standing guard, even while you rest.

The Centipede Effect: When Your Subconscious Won’t “Clock Out”
Laura’s exhaustion had a bizarre root: after spotting a centipede in her bed, a fragment of her awareness stayed on high alert every night—ready to karate-chop intruders (yes, really).
🔮 Psychic Insight:
They’re showing a part of you awake at the surface, like a dolphin with half its brain sleeping. You’re exhausted because your energy is split.
This isn’t just about bugs. It’s a metaphor for how:
Unprocessed fears keep your nervous system in “scan mode”
Mental loops (e.g., “Did I lock the door?”) drain energy
Your body physically reacts to unresolved stress—even in sleep
The Deadline Epiphany: How Your Soul Forces Clarity
The episode takes a twist when we discuss a course deadline—and why the universe demanded we set one:
Your human brain needed a date to stop the ‘what if we miss it?!’ loop. Now that part can relax… and your creativity can flow.
This applies to you, too:
If a thought won’t stop repeating, it’s your soul shouting (Listen!)
Procrastination often means the energy isn’t aligned yet (vs. laziness)
Deadlines can be energetic medicine for anxious minds
3 Ways to Reclaim Your Energy
Name the “Guard”
Tell that vigilant part: “They sprayed. We’re safe. Stand down.” (Literally works.)
Break Loops with Action
Repeating worry? Write it down + 1 tiny step to resolve it.
Trust Divine Timing
Like Abraham Hicks says: “If it’s yours, the wave will carry you.”
Final Message from our Higher Selves:
Being human is exhausting—but you’re not meant to white-knuckle it alone. Ask for help (from us, your body, or your dog).
