There’s a difference between spirituality that looks good…
and spirituality that changes you.
This episode of The Practice of a Hoodoo Baptist sits right in that tension.
I’m joined by Aycee Brown — psychic medium, astrologer, and truth-teller — for a conversation about what it really means to trust your intuition in a world that rewards performance more than presence. Aycee has built her work around helping people move beyond surface-level healing and into embodied truth, where self-trust becomes the foundation instead of an afterthought.
From the very beginning of our conversation, it’s clear: this isn’t about “love and light.”
It’s about honesty. Integration. And the courage to listen when spirit speaks plainly.
We talk about the difference between knowing something intellectually and actually living it in your body. About how spiritual tools — astrology, Human Design, mediumship — can either become a crutch or a catalyst, depending on how deeply we’re willing to engage them. And we talk about the patterns we inherit, repeat, and eventually have to decide whether we’re ready to release.
Aycee’s work centers a simple but challenging idea: that intuition isn’t a gift reserved for a few — it’s a muscle we all have to learn how to trust again.
This conversation also arrives alongside the release of her forthcoming book, Embody Your Magic, a guide to stepping out of spiritual performance and into lived alignment. The book invites readers to stop outsourcing their authority and start building a relationship with their own inner knowing — not as a concept, but as a daily practice. It’s equal parts mirror and roadmap, asking us to notice where we’re shrinking, bypassing, or waiting for permission to live truthfully.
What I appreciate most about this episode is how grounded it feels. There’s no pressure to be perfect. No illusion that healing is linear. Just an honest exploration of what happens when we stop trying to curate our spiritual lives and start actually living them.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to trust yourself more — or felt the discomfort of realizing you already know what you need to do — this conversation will meet you right there. Take your time with this one. Let it land. Sometimes truth doesn’t shout. It simply waits for you to be quiet enough to hear it.
