Ep. 431 - Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist’s Case for Trusting Your Intuition with Dr. Ellen Vora
What if we rewrote “laziness” as ease, traded “hustle” for flow, and redefined “success” as balance? In this episode, Jessica sits down with holistic psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Ellen Vora to talk about her new book, Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist’s Case for Magic. Drawing on her background in science and a spiritual awakening that came through grief, Ellen challenges the stories that taught women to trust logic, productivity, and approval over their own inner knowing. Together, they explore how to tell real intuition from fear and old wounds, why rest and your body’s natural rhythms may be the key to an aligned life, and how tech, hustle culture, and the pressure to be likable pull you away from your inner compass. Ellen shares the story of losing her mother and the synchronicity that opened her to a more mystical view of life, and how it inspired her life’s work. Your intuition isn’t something you have to earn. It’s something you can learn to hear again. And when you stop outsourcing your knowing and start trusting yourself, you don’t just change your own life—you make room for a more conscious, connected, and compassionate world.
