Feeling Feelings
A toolbox for your feelings. These cards are split into five sections: joy, fear, sadness, anger, and wild card. They’re great for supporting your emotional awareness and growth, starting conversations, inspiring journal entries, and practicing empathy.
Happyish Deck
Studies have shown that the pursuit of happiness can negatively impact your mental health (wtf? . . . and yet, somehow, we suspected as much). Nora McInerny—celebrated author and host of the Terrible, Thanks for Asking podcast—gets it. She’s created this daily oracle/guidance deck for people who are done with the pursuit of unbridled happiness—and are ready to embrace its more stable cousin, a state of “happyish.”
Gentle Reminders
This daily oracle deck by artist & writer Barry Lee is all about emotional self-care. It’s not meant to tell you what to do, but to help you connect with your own inner knowing—to gently bring you back to your own center every day, and to add a little slice of tranquility & joy to your day. No matter what’s going on, you deserve to be reminded you are worthy of love and tender moments of comfort, beauty, and whimsy.

In one of the most tough times in this life, these cards may bring a sense of feeling understood and not alone. It’s the small steps daily that help build happiness again.
Affirmation Deck
Practicing affirmations is the simplest thing you can do to start your day happier and more productive. Affirmations are positive statements you repeat to yourself that challenge negative self-beliefs and work to stop self-sabotaging negative thoughts from impacting your self-esteem. By creating positive statements about yourself, you affirm your worthiness and ability to do the things you want to do.
Mindfulness Cards
50+ Prompts and Exercises for the Mind and Body. An easy way to cultivate mindful moments—anytime and anywhere: This engaging deck makes it easy to bring awareness, calm, and joy to everyday life.
