Los Angeles, Feeling Grounded, and the Practice of Oracle Cards

Recorded from sunny Los Angeles and joined by a very special guest, Ziggy the goldendoodle, this episode of Note 2 Self opens with a reflection on the energy of LA compared to New York City. The expansive, nature-connected rhythm of the City of Dreams contrasted with the intensity and density of NYC. Saskia explores what it means to find solitude in major cities, and the ways we often flatten places, and people, into single narratives.The conversation then weaves into pop culture, with a discussion of The Traitors and a current fixation with our Love Island alumnus, Rob Rausch. The episode turns inward as Saskia shares her personal oracle card practice using a deck passed down from her grandmother, reflecting on intuition, ritual, and how symbolic tools can offer insight beyond logic. Whether viewed as spiritual or reflective, the practice becomes a way to slow down, reset, and listen more closely.This episode is all about presence, grounding, and how even reality TV can become a moment to escape and reset.
