🔮 Find your center (even when everything feels like a hot mess)


Do you ever have trouble going back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night? I know I do.

Luckily, I discovered this ridiculous "hack" where I scroll Reddit for 20 minutes, reading about someone else's cheating spouse or friendship drama. My brain can finally focus on someone else's problems instead of my own swirling thoughts. And then I drift off to sleep.

Pretty healthy coping mechanism, right? 😅

Well, recently, even that hasn't been working. Because going on Reddit means I'm blasted with all the recent news, and it's hard to go back to sleep after filling my brain with worries about Trump dismantling the Department of Education and bird flu becoming the next pandemic.

And I've noticed I'm not alone in this.

In my tarot and astrology practice, about half of my readings lately have been focused on helping people cope with the uncertainty and fear of living in the US right now.

All of my conversations with friends seem to lead back to fear and rage about what's going in. It seems like everyone is feeling this collective wobbliness.


That's why I've created From Spiraling to Steady: A 5-Day Journey to Finding Your Center (Even When Everything Feels Like a Hot Mess) – a practical approach to finding steadiness using tarot and astrology, happening live March 12-16.

It can help with any situation that feels scary or out of control, but it's especially helpful right now, in the current political climate.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE:

🔮 Daily Tarot Wisdom
Each day we'll work with two powerful tarot cards using my signature Mirror & Light Method™:

  • Your Mirror card validates where you actually are (no toxic positivity here)
  • Your Light card shows you exactly what to do next and provides a framework for a quick yet powerful practice

Live Astrology Workshops
We'll meet each day as a group to focus on one planet in your chart and how you can use it as a source of steadiness. I'll provide personalized guidance on your chart during these sessions if you'd like.

🧘‍♀️ Intuitive Practices
You'll get a guided intuitive practice each day (10 minutes or less) using the wisdom of the tarot to reconnect to yourself. Perfect for those 3AM moments when you need support.

🎧 Private Podcast Feed + Course Platform
Access all content right in your favorite podcast player – perfect for learning while driving, walking, or doing life. Or if you don't want to access the content that way, it will also be hosted in a beautiful online course platform.

👥 Community Connection
Step into being seen at your own pace in our dedicated WhatsApp group. Share insights, celebrate wins, and support each other's journey in a way that feels natural.

🔑 Lifetime Access
Your spiritual emergency kit, always at your fingertips. Return to these teachings whenever life feels rocky or you need to find your center again.

Now back to my story…

One night, after developing my new framework, I woke up at 2AM. Then I remembered how scary things feel right now. But instead of spiraling, I got curious about which tarot card represented my experience.

I realized I was having a Tower moment – that card where everything feels out of control, like the structures I've relied on are crashing down around me.

Once I recognized the type of panic I was experiencing, I could move to the next step of my process: leaning into my own strength and courage.

I did a visualization (one I'll share in the course) and connected with my guides. Soon after, I drifted off to sleep.

And the next day, I had enough energy to show up for the things I care about the most.

With steadiness,

Daniela

Hi Reader! The tulips in my front yard are already pushing up from the ground as I write this—Spring Equinox energy buzzing in the air, marking the start of a fresh astrological year. Meanwhile, gifts for my daughter's 7th birthday this Sunday line the counter, waiting to be wrapped. In my family, birthdays are revered...even for my 77 year old parents! And at the same time, birthdays can be so...complicated. I still remember the gut-punch feeling at my 8th birthday party. I was in the...

Hi Reader, A lunar eclipse happened in Virgo early this morning (last night, really), and I’m not here to tell you it’s going to change your life overnight. I’m here to talk about something else entirely – that quiet insistence inside you that knows there’s more. The dream you’ve tucked away because it doesn’t make “practical sense.” The path that calls to you even as you explain all the reasons you can’t take it. WHAT ECLIPSES REALLY REVEAL Eclipses fascinate me, not because they dictate our...

Hey Reader, You know that feeling when you're waiting to be picked? When your worth feels like it's hanging on someone else's choice? Yeah, let's talk about that. Recently at a metaphysical fair, I watched people wait for the reader across from me to be available while my table sat empty. That old familiar story started playing: "If I was just different/better/more [insert impossible standard here], they would choose me." After drenching myself in painful stories for a few hours, I remembered...
