What if tarot wasn’t about predicting the future—but about helping you tell your story?
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by writer, tarot coach, and Substack author Chelsey Pippin Mizzi for a conversation that bridges the spiritual and the practical, the mystical and the creative. Chelsey’s approach to tarot isn’t about fortune-telling—it’s about reflection, imagination, and accessing the parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten how to listen to.
We talk about:
* Why tarot is a tool for creative storytelling—not a test you can fail
* How she combined her background in writing, theater, and editing into a tarot coaching business
* The myths (and anxieties) that keep people from connecting with their intuition
* What it means to “shadow play” and how we can write from our darker, unclaimed selves
* How Chelsey’s Substack and books (Tarot for Creativity and The Shadow Path) are changing the way writers engage with their inner world
Plus, she pulls a tarot card for the episode and shares what’s exciting her most right now.
Whether you’re tarot-curious or creatively stuck, this one’s full of permission, play, and practical magic.
