In this episode of 'Is My Aura On Straight?', host Aycee Brown interviews Ellen Vora, a psychiatrist and author who describes how “being a good girl” and performing a linear, rational identity earned respect but led to fragmentation and chronic suppression of her intuitive, mystical side.
After her mother died suddenly while she was six months pregnant, grief prompted existential questions for Ellen. An acupuncture session with a psychic practitioner delivered messages she felt were uncannily specific, opening her to an ongoing sense of connection that changed her medicine, art, and openness to mystery. Ellen later had an energy worker in Bali tell her “you’re a witch,” and this marked a gradual shift toward integrating spirituality with conventional training.
Aycee and Ellen also talk about using blessings and presence to stay regulated, and they discuss broader cultural forces that drive dissociation through dopamine-seeking habits. Together, they recommend that listeners prioritize bodily sovereignty, rest, analog practices, and slowing down as “listening time” to receive guidance from Source.
