EP 47: Tarot, Creativity, and Staying Human in a Hyper-Tech World with Chris-Anne Donnelly

In this conversation, Elizabeth and Elisha sit down with Chris-Anne Connolly, creator of the Light Seer's Tarot and other beloved decks, for a wide-ranging, deeply human discussion about creativity, intuition, and what it means to stay connected in an increasingly digital world. They explore Chris-Anne's journey from secret tarot reader to globally recognized creator, including the early days of making decks in private and navigating visibility, validation, and creative identity online. The conversation moves into the tension many of us feel right now: living in a hyper-connected, AI-driven world while craving something slower, more tactile, and more real. Chris-Anne shares how her current analog project, hand-crafted and mailed experiences, is bringing her back to a sense of wonder and play. Experience the conversation face-to-face—head over to YouTube to watch the episode HERE Together, they unpack: The role of intuition in tarot and why you don't need to "know everything" to begin The creative cost of holding back your voice Social media as both connection and distortion The difference between surviving alone and actually thriving in community Beauty standards, control systems, and the shifting cultural pendulum Why reclaiming joy might be more radical than self-optimization Chris-Anne also shares her perspective on AI as an artist whose work has been used to train it, and how she's reframed that experience in a way that aligns with her values. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: if we could stop questioning joy and allow ourselves to fully experience it, we might move through this moment faster than we think.
