There is a Welsh word — hiraeth — for the feeling of being homesick for a place you have never been. A longing so specific it sits in the chest. A sense, just around the next corner, that something is waiting for you. That you are always about to arrive.
Elizabeth Bromstein felt it for decades. She had the city, the career, the resume the world told her to want. And the whole time, she kept dreaming about a cabin in the forest.
Then the industry she worked in collapsed. And instead of grabbing the nearest safe shore, she let the wave carry her. She moved into the woods. She built a life out of tarot, perfume, and writing — out of the raw materials of her own what if. And the dreams finally stopped. Because she had arrived.
In this episode, Elizabeth and I talk about what it means to follow a feeling you cannot fully name, the real reason tarot works even for people who think tarot is nonsense, what a ghost ceiling can teach you about reality, and why the most interesting place to stand is always the middle ground — not believing, not disbelieving, just honestly curious.
She teaches tarot to skeptics and overthinkers, people who flinch at the word manifest, and somehow ends up teaching them more about themselves than they expected to learn from a deck of cards. She does not ask you to convert. She asks you to look.
