19. October Energies: Karma, Courage, and the Call to Authenticity

Season #2

In this October Energies episode, Marrissa explores the deep interconnection between karma, freedom, courage, and authenticity through the cards drawn this month. Together, these archetypal symbols tell a story of the soul’s journey: from encountering repeating patterns, to moving through resistance with courage, to embodying the light and brilliance of our authentic selves.

This episode is about awakening to what already lives within you. Marrissa offers listeners a mirror for their own process of self-discovery and integration. The message culminates in an invitation to step into your I Am Presence—your higher self, your authentic resonance—and to reclaim the freedom and brilliance that have always been yours.

Key Takeaways

Karma is not punishment—it’s the psyche’s way of bringing us back to what still needs to be seen and integrated.

True freedom comes when we meet our repeating patterns with awareness.

Resistance signals the threshold of transformation. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to walk with it.

We are our own oracle—the wisdom we seek is already within us. Integration allows us to embody both our humanity and our divinity.

Living authentically is not just personal work—it’s collective work.

Every step toward our true calling restores a piece of our brilliance.
