Inside the Season of the Witch, a Psychiatrist's Case for Magic with Dr. Ellen Vora

What happens when a Yale and Columbia-trained psychiatrist stops performing rationality and finally comes home to herself? Today's guest is Dr. Ellen Vora — board-certified psychiatrist, medical acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and the most woo doctor you've ever met. She is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety and her brand new book Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist's Case for Magic, and she is here to give you full permission to reopen the case. We go deep on the grief that cracked her wide open, the acupuncture session where her late mother sent two words through from the other side, and the armadillo story that will make you a believer. We talk about the Witch Wound — the centuries of persecution that taught women to silence their own knowing — and why the left hemisphere of the brain has been mansplaining on behalf of the right hemisphere for far too long. We talk signs, sovereignty, magic as medicine, and what it actually means to be a witch in 2026. This one hit different. Don't miss it.
