Hey there,

I created Adaptive Nudge as a reflective tool to gently support healing and self-discovery. This deck is designed for moments when you want to pause, tune inward, and explore your experiences with greater awareness and compassion. Rather than offering answers, the cards create space to notice what has been, what is present now, and what may be unfolding next.

Each card offers thoughtful, layered prompts. Some questions explore experiences that shaped you and the meaning you've made from them. Others focus on present awareness — your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. The future cards invite you to consider possibilities, growth, and the direction you're moving toward.

The imagery draws from nature and grounded, calming environments, evoking a sense of safety, reflection, and quiet transformation. Each card is designed to meet you where you are and support your own inner knowing.

You might use the cards in therapy, journaling, movement, creative expression, or personal reflection. There's no single way to use this deck — choose a card that speaks to you, draw one at random, or move intentionally through each phase.

Take care, Jackie 🤍

The three phases

Between wounding, presence & expansion

    Use them your way.In therapy or on your own — for reflection, movement, journaling, or creative expression.
