No. 44 — Embody Your Magic ft. Aycee Brown
Embodying your magic in a changing world isn’t about “love & light.”
It’s about nervous system truth. It’s about discernment. It’s about refusing to spiritually-perform your way through real life. It’s about taking a risk.
In this InSight, I’m joined by psychic medium, writer, and long-time friend and collaborator, Aycee Brown — and she does what she always does: calls it out.
The spiritual bypassing.
The “manifest your way out of it” rhetoric.
The way intuition gets warped when your body doesn’t feel safe and held.
Aycee’s new book, “Embody Your Magic,” explores multiple avenues for connecting with your spiritual gifts in ways that are grounded, practical, and trauma-informed. She outlines themes like Numerology, Human Design, and Mediumship, weaving them into practical stories from her real-life experience.
We reminisce on collaborating since 2019, reflect on how the world has changed through our seven-year deconditioning cycle, and talk about what it means to practice spirituality when the collective “authority” structures are getting questioned louder than ever.
✨ In this conversation:
What "Embody Your Magic" is actually here to disrupt
Why “manifest your way out of it” can be harmful (and what’s more real)
Intuition vs anxiety: learning to hear your body when the world is loud
Aycee’s origin story + the somatic roots of her sensitivity
Writing the book through heartbreak, depression, and rebuilding rhythm
AI as an “intern, not a professor” (and why discernment becomes the edge)
2026 as a year for community, courage, and small risks that change everything
2027 and the end of performative identity — who’s real gets revealed

Book: Embody Your Magic
Vaness Henry (00:00.256)
Aycee hello, welcome to the pod. Welcome back, very exciting time to be chatting. You're on the show today because we sometimes need an excuse to chat. Yes. After all these millions of collaborations we've done in the past.
my god, we've been collaborating since... How long? God, 2019? 2019?
We became friends in 2019. I had reached out to you. pandemic? Before the pandemic. Was We recorded a whole first season of our first podcast, Each Other. it before the pandemic? Yes. Then we canceled and we said, we can't release this because it'll be out of touch because the pandemic is going on now. we scrapped that whole thing.
What was the, like October, November of 2019?
So then we scrapped it all because we were like, okay, recording a whole thing like that is not gonna work. We have to keep sort of a tune with what's going on. We redid it when the pandemic was just happening. It released May, 2020 and now we're in 2026. And look where you are now. You had multiple books, but now you're releasing a major book and this is where we are. A seven year deconditioning cycle.
Aycee Brown (01:03.501)
God.
Aycee Brown (01:08.866)
no
Aycee Brown (01:13.208)
That's so weird.
And can I tell you, you look great. You're aging well.
Thank you. Nobody's stressing me out. Nobody's stressing me out. any kids. That's what it is.
You out.
Vaness Henry (01:30.721)
I'm like, you know what, this is what it looks like.
Good on you though, it looks good. what? But you have a good example. Your mother is a good gray. Your mother is a great gray.
Thank you.
She got this white hair all the way. And you know what? When she was rocking this white hair to her waist, I was like, I could do that.
She looks.
Aycee Brown (01:51.31)
Yeah, and it's so funny. It's so weird that you bring that up. Like I was like online and I and maybe this is like a coming of age thing. Like I have my vision of what I want to be like 55 plus, like 60 plus. I have like, so I'm like, I want to grow my hair out as long as possible. And then I just want to like braid it up and out and then wear it wavy and then just be like
Me too. What's going on?
Aycee Brown (02:22.094)
Yeah, I definitely am gonna go get a facelift though. Um, cause that is important. I'm starting to fall.
right here, my face is starting to fall.
I a facelift, because they're doing amazing work, amazing work. Some of these doctors are like magicians. I'm definitely going to do that, but I think I'm going to be an early facelifter. Like, I think I'm going to do it before 55, like as preventative. Or at least a ponytail lift, at least.
And like, what is that? What's a ponytail?
The ponytail lift is I think they just do here and then they lift that up. Yeah. Yeah, just like a ponytail. It's like the...
Vaness Henry (03:02.606)
Okay. Right? Like, m-m- I get it.
And back on the pod, it's like back on each other, you know? Just talking about the gab and the beauty. Well, hey, I'm also growing my hair out. I have fine hair. I'm trying to do a bang to transition the gray better. I'm trying to be a little bit more French in my look, because that's my heritage. I'm at... You do look... I just want it to be as long as possible, flowy, kind of like what you said. It's a journey. Let me tell you, it's a journey. But also...
French.
Vaness Henry (03:34.734)
This thing you said, which I thought was significant, I don't want to brush past it too quickly, envisioning yourself at 55, 65, I think this is like, I think about this a lot. Because I had a parent who didn't make it past 40, I'm like, oh my God, that's so young. I want to see myself, I want to imagine myself at 40. I want to imagine myself at 50. I want to imagine myself at 60. I think it's a form of healthy.
Yeah, so I was doing that last night and I was like, I think this is it. This is what the look is gonna be. So I'm like, all right.
Love, love. Okay, girl. For instance, 2019, almost through a whole deconditioning cycle together, my cells only know you. They only know you now, everything is recycled. And here we are, your new book, Embodier Magic is coming out. It's February, 2026 release. I remember in the final season of our podcast, and I think 2023, you had got this book deal. Yes. 2024, 2023, and you were like, it's gonna be a journey. Here's what's gonna happen.
What do we need to know about this book? What do need to know about this book? Embodier Magic.
It was a journey. I went through a lot of, I don't want to say hell, because that would be wrong. I learned a lot of great lessons. I'm a new person. I went through a lot of stuff. But what you need to know about the book is that it is a warm, inviting handbook to discovering.
Aycee Brown (05:09.784)
wholeness by embodying your truth, embracing your power. It is just this whole approach that spirituality is not a one size fits all approach. And my goal is for you to use these healing modalities and to tell you when to use them and for you to embark on your soul's journey.
and discover different parts of yourself and step into your own story. And I talk about what I call the shadow, the canyon, stepping into that canyon, answering those questions and using the practices, using everything to increase your intuition, to increase your psychic abilities and to connect with yourself. Someone...
It's like you talk about the whole, but really what it's about is you. And I just want people to have a better understanding of themselves.
feel like this book is emotionally attuned and that's kind of a big takeaway I got when I was kind of going through it. And I kept thinking emotional projector attuned. I also, I love you as a Valleys example and releasing sources of information like this. And you do this mass- Love Canyon as Valleys language girl. Don't get me started. Don't get me started. I could write a whole essay on that. Probably will. Probably will a day.
In a canyon.
Vaness Henry (06:43.16)
Great language, great language. And I like how each chapter of the book, you're going through mediumship, you're going through numerology, you're going through astrology, you're going through human design. And there's that, that's so values to me. You're putting all these connections and showing, and a huge theme of the book is to stop spiritually performing or even spiritually intellectualizing things and actually.
move into embodiment and what does that actually look like and all these tools are laying that out to kind of help. I've prepared some questions though and I do want to go through them but first as an astrologer you know how are you feeling that the timing of when this book is coming out is timing around this eclipse what's coming up what does that
I am 50-50, so this is the- Well, let's go into this, right? This is the third release date. My book was originally supposed to come out September 2025. Then they pushed it to January 2026 and then February 17th, 2026. that's first. Right on. Time's a charm, right?
Clips is mean.
Vaness Henry (07:56.256)
eclipse time.
And then on top of that, it's the day after my grandmother's birthday, because her birthday is February 16th. So I was like, okay, that's a sign. All right. that's a sign. Okay, lady, I guess that's a sign. And then I was like, oh shit, that's an eclipse. And so eclipse is, I like to say, if you're off track, God pushes you in the right direction. The eclipse, it is these monumental moments in astrology.
Joy.
Aycee Brown (08:28.162)
that are pivotal for our time, for the collective, for yourself, for your energy. The interesting thing about my chart is that I have my Mercury in Aquarius and I also have myself noted in Aquarius in the third house, which is a house of writing, communication, and all of that. So having the eclipse there, it makes me optimistic about the movement of this, knowing that my book
birthday is going to be in Aquarius. You know, so that is, it's very Pluto in Aquarius. So it's very Pluto in Aquarius, it could have been a Capricorn, which is old paradigm. It could have been a Capricorn. Right? It would have been a Virgo or it would have been...
That's cool.
Vaness Henry (09:17.774)
It's not right the book or record either
Aycee Brown (09:27.924)
a Capricorn. So that's why I'm like, okay, it's an Aquarius.
Let me tell ya, I feel like the timing is just right. Especially with what's going on in the world, it feels right.
I think it's an Aquarius and a manifesting, it's either an Aquarius.
or we'll see. can't wait to see.
Yeah, it's like a, I think it's a manifesting generator as well.
Vaness Henry (09:55.948)
and we'll see how your, yeah, your relationship with that unfolds. Okay, wait, wait, I wanna say some things here because. I would like to speak. No, no, no, no, I wanna say some things about my interpretation of it coming out on an eclipse. Cause there's some specific things in your variable that I find interesting around that. And in the past, I have done things around eclipses and they've kind of timed up that way. And I remember feeling nervous.
I'm like thinking now.
Vaness Henry (10:24.126)
And I came across a message once from fellow astrologer Amy Lee, and it just brought me a little bit of peace, so it stayed with me. So I want to bring it up here. She said, you know, doing a big launch of something with all this, you know, the energy is unstable. So yeah, who knows how it can go. But when you're doing a release, it's different than a launch. And I thought, because to me, like launch feels like,
A feels like release. Doesn't that bring peace?
So may her piece extend.
have peas. Because it's not a lawn, it's a release.
Yes, girl. Yes. And now, if I may, if I may, you're a light eater. And when we have an eclipse, there's a disturbance in our light source. And I can't help but think there's going to be an impact on the way you're nourished going forward, a change of things that nourish you. And if we approach it, you know, if we approach it as a release into this new chapter instead of like, I gotta.
Vaness Henry (11:31.862)
I think that fits for the new energy coming, you know, especially in this like fire horse here where there's like no one. And she's already on that horsey kind of energy. So I think actually hugely beautiful potential. Obviously we know eclipse energy is unstable, but is the world, is anything stable right now?
and the charts rising.
Aycee Brown (11:52.808)
So like... Damn sure, not here. Not where I live.
So I'm holding the potential that this change in light source is gonna affect the light eaters, you know? Okay, all right.
Okay, I'll take that.
If I may, if I may, I've prepared some questions on, okay, my physical copy did not come in time for our interview, but you were gracious enough to let me have a digital copy that I was able to go through on my phone. And I appreciated how this book, to me, the way I ingested it, it had a workbook energy, because at the end of each chapter, it kind of gave me something fun to do. And one of my favorite parts is in the beginning of the book, when you're laying out what the path is gonna be, and you're,
I was like, cause I know you and I opened this and I was like this open G center queen, know, totally open G center, all the wisdom potential available in the total center. And you lay out this map of like, is kind of, here's what we're going to be going through in this process of embodiment and what that actually looks like. Okay. So as I'm going through this, I'm thinking about all the different types of projects I've had the privilege of collaborating with you on. And we together have seen.
Vaness Henry (13:03.118)
people who talk spirituality, but maybe they're not embodying it. Or maybe they are examples of this performative type of culture that is out there, which you're kind of calling out on times in the book. when you wrote this book, Embodier Magic, what was it that you most wanted to actually disrupt in how spirituality is being practiced right now?
Probably that love and light bullshit that... Yeah, like the... If anything, it was more of that love and light stuff and the... The three act as if and all like, shut the fuck up. yeah, like just do something, not do something else, but it's just like that doesn't...
The Lady.
Vaness Henry (13:45.698)
Make it real.
Aycee Brown (13:56.524)
You can't tell a person who comes from certain backgrounds to just manifest their way out of stuff. That's not fucking happening.
And in fact, that's harmful. Like you talk a lot about being trauma-informed.
Yes, it's very harmful. it's just like, you have to approach these things. you know, I talk about my 80-20 rule in the book of 80 % of this stuff is accurate. The 20 % is the world we live in. Religion, where we're raised, social economic status, all of that stuff, that is real. And so you're trying to get back to the 80%, but it's gonna look different for everyone. just, I didn't want it to be a...
Just close your eyes and just, you know, think about the good things. Like, no. I can't close my eyes in the dark.
Inflated ego?
Vaness Henry (14:50.062)
You know? Yeah, just, you know, just... don't even want to say anything because when I say things, people are like, she's talking about me. It's like, I'm not fucking talking about you. You're an example of a thing that I see everywhere and the fact that you're making it about...
and
Aycee Brown (15:03.47)
You're an example of a bigger microcosm of spirituality bullshit. So if you fall into that space and you get your feelings hurt, well, then you fell
Canyon, get in it, go. Something that you do paint really well in this, which I hadn't thought about in the way that you had kind of laid it out, was you were talking about, well, you kind of allude to that your intuition can get distorted. And you think you're connecting to your intuition, but actually you've got a nervous system that feels unsafe.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have examples of this when this like happened to you in your real life where you're thinking your intuition is guiding you, but actually I'm just reacting to, because you know how we do that when my body's telling me this and my ping is telling me that or my wave, you know. What is an example of our intuition getting distorted?
Well, like to say intuition is quiet, anxiety is loud. And if you grew up in chaos.
Aycee Brown (16:12.462)
you can't distinguish the volume. Like, so it's all gonna look different. if you...
Yeah. Ali's language, girl. Sorry, but like, how do you speak?
It's, if you grew up in chaos, like I said, intuition is silent, quiet, anxiety is loud. But if you grew up in chaos, can't, you don't know what the volume is. You can't distinguish the volume. And so when you are positioned or when your environment has been the same for a long time, you have to find ways to remove yourself from it so you can hear your body.
So if you grew up walking on eggshells all the time, you're gonna think that that's how the ground is. And that's not how it is. So listening to your body and leaning into that and not confusing it takes a long time. It takes a lot of unpacking. It takes a lot of healing, but it also takes a lot of listening.
I do this thing and I talk about it, but I've been doing this since I was a kid. My body is so attuned that when things are wrong for me, I cry. It's an uncontrollable cry. It is a physical reaction that something's off. And I've ignored that so many times, especially when it came to men. That is besides the point. And I will just cry.
Aycee Brown (17:57.158)
And things will happen after the fact. And I'll be like, I should have listened to it. So, but that took me a long time to understand what it was. I don't even know if I answered your question, but.
Well, yeah, and like trusting the body is kind of what you're... I don't feel like I always understood my body or trusted my body. I don't, I think I would fall in the category of like, I don't know if I'm getting this sign or this intuition hit. I don't know if I could trust myself. Cause when you talk about...
Like, that's...
That's how my story feels. So I think a lot of people can feel this disconnect with their body. And so then I almost, in my experience, created a fear around self-trust. You sound like you always had an attunement to your body. So how did you learn this? know, if your environment was stable and it wasn't too loud.
Maybe you don't even recognize it, but you sound like you recognize it. Were you able to just as a projector see that in others or do you have some type of experience where the environment was too loud for you to hear yourself? Or is men what are just loud?
Aycee Brown (19:13.204)
Well... huh, hmm...
think my axe, well, when I got burned, I think that was...
Aycee Brown (19:28.504)
So pivotal for me in my body because I had a very traumatic thing happen at such a young age to wait.
Anybody doesn't know that story, would you tell us what happened when you how old are you? What is that?
When I was four, my mom was making me some hot tea, because I love some tea. And she went, the water was very hot. So she went to go get a piece of ice to put into the cup. She told me don't touch it. I don't know what made me get up and touch it, but I did. And the tea cup spilled on me. I had on a wool shirt. And my mom was actually, it happened so fast, my mom was actually still in the freezer. She said that she felt my body hit the back of her legs.
And when she turned around, the water was so hot, my wool shirt, that was like real wool back in the day, you know, like good wool, my wool shirt melted on my body. And so I remember, I guess I passed out, but the next scene that I remember, because I remember a lot of my life from then, my dad, because my mom was hysterical and my dad was shaking my mom and then he slapped her to like,
get it together, we gotta figure this out. And so they called the ambulance and I guess the burn people said, okay, just take off all her clothes, put her in white sheets, put her on the bed. And so it took them, I don't know how long it took them. I don't have a recollection of that, but I remember my father's friend coming over and I remember them
Vaness Henry (20:47.95)
easy.
Aycee Brown (21:13.678)
pulling back the covers, and then he just started crying. My dad's friend. And then I remember the ambulance coming, and then I remember them putting like, cold compresses on my skin, and I remember this gel, I don't know what it was, was, and then after that, I got to the hospital, and then, that's why I can smell iodine soap from a mile away, because of the hospital.
But we got to the hospital and two nurses were in, we were in the shower and they were like, this is, I remember them looking at me cause they had to scrub off the dead skin. And I don't, I remember a little bit of that. And then I, you know, was in the, the burn unit and I had to wear a cast. I was in, I think I was in the hospital for like,
a month and a half, almost two months. And I remember this, I never forget her. There was this new, they were so, they're so fucked up. They would get the new young nurse because they were trying to get my skin and grow back. So she would have to come every day and rip off my cast. That's what they were trying to do to see what was growing back, wasn't? And she used to be like,
Jesus.
Aycee Brown (22:38.894)
I'm gonna come back in like 20 minutes, because she couldn't do it. And at some point I was like, you know, I would turn my head and I was like, just go ahead, like, just do it. Like we gotta get this over with pretty much. She would be like, I'll come back in like 20 minutes and then we can do it. I'm like, okay. And then I wanted to, I got a skin graft. Then I left the hospital and then I had to wear this, oh my God, this tight hot suit. I never forget this, like a compression, it was a compression suit.
And it was summertime and it was just so hot. And I used to ask my dad's father, we call him Poppy. I was like, Poppy, please, can I take it off? And he'd be like, okay. And then my parents would come get me and they'd be like, she cannot take it off. And I'd just be outside playing with it off. But because of that, me having such a traumatic thing happen to my body at such a young age, I was always in tune with...
sensations and textures and the way stuff felt on my skin at such a young age. So I don't know a life without me having like visions and dreams as well as these things with my body and the way my body felt.
That's a very physically traumatic, harmful type of experience and memory, and you're so little, so you can see how that would have just such an impact on the experience. do like how you said you were in tune with sensation though and textures. And I do think this is a lot of your gifts as somebody who is psychic, has mediumship abilities, is able to kind of tap into that formless field.
see things, understand things, perceive things that not everybody else can. So I felt when the synthesis of that kind of came out into this book, as your friend, I felt very excited to see what that was gonna be because I know some of your stories, but they hit, you and you tell the story, like that's like this little baby.
Aycee Brown (24:57.866)
Yeah, honestly, think that's when like, if I'm being honest, and this just came to me, I think that that's when my psychic gifts and stuff got activated. Yeah, I think that's when it came online.
He's from there. Yeah.
Do you think there's an activation moment for people? Like I hear that there is for you, but is that a universal thing? Is that, is there something we react to?
It can be for some and it usually happens because that was a near-death experience.
I was gonna say it's like a reality check.
Aycee Brown (25:29.582)
Yeah, was a near-death experience.
I don't mean to be dismissive like near-death experience. I'm saying reality check because you you earn no Like you know, so it's like huh. It's like a
Oh, I don't buy that. Yeah.
No, like I said, I left, something happened, I fell, I left, I passed out, whatever. I removed myself from this universe for a second and I woke up and my mom was being shaped by my dad and he was like, get it together. And I'm like looking at them on the floor. So I would imagine I was here and then I left for a second and then came back.
like, where'd you go?
Aycee Brown (26:07.63)
I don't know because well even prior to that I always had imaginary friends. You know and they were Diana Ross, Alex P Keaton from Family Ties, Michael J Fox. And yeah and I remember talking to them and we're just hanging out.
even privacy.
Aycee Brown (26:35.95)
Yeah, just vibing. And they were also like little, so my parents had like a one bedroom apartment. And I used to sleep in the closet. I had a crib, like somewhere to sleep, but I like sleeping in the closet. So I had my My Little Pony. Yeah, I like had my My Little Pony sleeping bag with my My Little Ponies and I used to line them up. And they called like Child Protective Services, because they were asking me questions, because they thought my parents did.
on the floor.
Aycee Brown (27:05.804)
that to me, know, burned me. And I was like, yeah, sleep in the closet. My mom was like, my God, we're going to lose her. She's like, yeah, sleep in the closet with my toy.
Meanwhile, your little valleys girl.
You just grounded. I'm just grounded.
All my little ponies lined up.
All my little pony and blinds up.
Vaness Henry (27:26.912)
My crew keeping me safe. Poor so men. Love that.
Yes!
Aycee Brown (27:34.446)
Meanwhile, Proper Texas Services is like, what the freak?
in my daughter's valleys. Yeah, I she likes to sleep here.
Right, they had no idea. They're like, she likes sleeping in the-
Okay, so intense story, intense story. There are some intense stories in the book though. Yes. There's some, when this book was being written, I remember there being romantic storylines going on in your life. And I remember you coming on the pod and talking about, know, I want to be held in this bookmaking process.
I
Vaness Henry (28:15.814)
You know? And... God, girl. The language. So what were some of the, challenges then going on in life when you're actually trying to complete this book? Because I'm interested in how people, as somebody who writes books as well, I'm interested in how different conscious... Conscience, consciousness, there it is, come about writing different books. Some of us are strategic, some of us are receptive, some of us are focused, some of us are peripheral.
That was...
Vaness Henry (28:45.902)
And so when I write a book, I usually have done it over time. I've usually strategically approached it, you know, for example, I've written blog posts for years and all of a sudden they just accumulate and there's a thing, you know, and here is this thing. I've also written books where I've been given kind of the assignment or I'm doing a piece of short fiction and I have to kind of go into a creative urge and I can write a piece of short fiction in a setting. I couldn't do a novel, I couldn't do a book.
So I want to hear about what your actual process was. Were you dictating? Were you actually sitting down and typing? How were you able to organize yourself based on being someone who's nocturnal, someone who's valleys and has these rhythms? Also, probability view, like the way you're going to see things and what works, what doesn't work, what's necessary and go through this whole process of, here's probably what's best, you know, here's what's likely going to happen. How did you go about
creating this book in like a strategic way. How did you actually physically do it?
Vaness Henry (29:53.161)
Okay, okay, okay.
because so much had happened romantically.
That's what I mean. Like how do you balance shit going on in your personal life? That was right. Yeah, yeah,
That was hard. we, I mean, there was at one point and know, chapter two opens it up and you'll find out what happened. When you read chapter two, that happened, what opens up chapter two happened literally three weeks after I signed my book deal, after the contract was signed.
And I was a wreck and it was hard. It was really sad. It was cruel. It was unkind. And I had to write and I was writing very fragmented because I was very depressed, very sad, very... Yeah, and so at one point, cause I hired a...
Vaness Henry (30:49.624)
So totally affects a creative process.
Aycee Brown (30:58.798)
an editor to help me, like outside editor outside of my publisher. And she's like, we just got to write through it. And then at one point I was feeling so disgusted by the writing. And when I mean disgusted, it wasn't making sense to me. And she was, I remember her saying, she was just like, I was like, let's just scrap everything and start over. And she was like, absolutely.
Just three, five, no, yeah.
But also, let's just scrap and start over.
valleys with a sense of taste in that environment. something was like, you just needed to switch up something in your environment.
I was like, let's please... I said, let's start all over. was really like, let's... She was like, no, we can't do that. And so I remember her saying, she's like, I'm gonna print... She printed out everything. She's like, I'm gonna print out everything. I forgot how many pages it was at the time. She printed out everything and she rearranged the whole thing. And she's like, all right, we're good. And then we'll come back. And then I was like, okay. And then how we work together is... Which I found out this is a great writing process for me.
Vaness Henry (31:40.609)
You're like, let's burn it all.
Aycee Brown (32:08.394)
Instead of us working from an outline, we work from questions. So I just answered questions. I answered questions. So it was just like, what do you think about human design? And then that's how I would write. And I would just answer the questions. And then we would put it together that way. I was typing a lot and then that came.
books laid out.
a little bit overwhelming. Because like I said, I went into a depression. And so I was crying a lot in the beginning. And then I got on Lexapro. I had to get on Lexapro because think of Lexapro. But then I started dictating. And that became a lot easier. It became even now, I dictate most of my writing and then I edit.
Yeah, I wonder
Vaness Henry (33:04.014)
love this for you. Again, like taste in the valley, in the right environment.
That's better for me. then, cause I was like, we're like, is that really writing? Cause I'm talking, but that's what happened.
As a writer, come from that world, what I can tell you as a journalist, the way we do journalism is dramatically shifting. People go onto Substack now. There isn't an editor who's necessarily verifying because a lot of people are losing trust with those sources.
Well, one of my favorite authors, Paul Sulegg, the channel, he dictates, I didn't, I found this out through a interview he did, he dictates all his books and somebody else is, he has a person that actually live transcribes for him, but he just sits and he talks. And he's a projector.
Well, in my opinion, well, we don't care so much. We don't care if you typed it. Like some of the snobby people like me, you know, would care. But I'm saying like, I don't. I care about the way you're going to put the information in your head together. It doesn't matter to me the medium you go about getting that out. You're going to package it up for me and I'm going to be able to flip through it. Or you're going to package it up for me in any way that you're going to do it. You don't have to sing it. You don't have to write it.
Vaness Henry (34:23.18)
it's just gotta come out the way it's gonna most naturally come out of you and then we can transform and turn that into anything. And I think more and more of that type of stuff is gonna happen. And you are experimental, always have been. Like look at your spiritual erotica album. Actually, look at, even when you first started the podcast, the Is My Aura On Street podcast, that was, that's been around for a while, Saying it like that at the time.
I know right?
Vaness Henry (34:52.608)
was kind of different, you know? Because, it was making us think about things differently. And so you do kind of help us orient to new ways of doing things, or perhaps is there a better way we could do this, that type of thing? So like, who cares how it came out? I was curious if you would speak it, because I thought that that would be something that would be really good for you.
Just the way you're made. I right now, I speak it and then I just edit from there. It helps me tell better stories.
this probably impacted the way you work in the world. Yeah. Like how you share as an online creative or somebody who has a strong presence in this digital realm. And we live in so many dimensions now and your very strong presence in the digital realm. I could see that that would be a fun way to experiment or would be like beneficial for you. you also, you have a podcast. Your voice has always been tagline voice of truth. Like has been a huge component.
It sounds like you're having fun with all these different ways and mediums, no pun intended, of expressing yourself, undefined throat. And now doing this book has affected, impacted the way you probably write your newsletter, maybe write your design copy or your courses. just improved in business all around.
is half.
Aycee Brown (36:08.551)
All of it. It's changed a lot.
And I think this is trauma, but it's still...
Mmm.
Aycee Brown (36:26.67)
I'm doing my best to enjoy the process and to...
be very mindful and grateful of the opportunity and not try and move on to the next thing and get out of survival.
Can I ask you a bunch of questions on what you think about things happening in the world right now just to get your opinion on things? Because I would like to catch up with some things. There was like hot topics that I like that I haven't always been able to get your opinion on recently because you've been so busy doing so many things. Gallivanting, writing books, how far you've come since when we first met, doing all these things. What are your thoughts on AI?
We have all the time. I'm good.
Vaness Henry (37:21.226)
Where are you landing around with this new fucking consciousness coming online that we are alive for? Even if it's artificial, whatever you think about that.
I think that it has its place.
Why are you being so careful? Judgment sense. What is like, what's the judgment call?
Stop being ca-
think it's capitalism's last attempt at a money grab.
Aycee Brown (37:46.616)
But in a big loud think it's a capitalism's last, it's their last, it's like we gotta get all the money we can from this. I think it's going to, is it going away? No, but it's not gonna do what they think they want it to do.
This is neat.
Vaness Henry (38:04.642)
What do you think it's gonna do?
I think it's going to bust eventually in the way that they're trying to use it, whatever that way is, because I think that more people are going to realize how much you can't trust it. I think something major's gonna happen.
Derek got fooled this morning. He thought somebody looked so old and aged. I'm like, my love, that's a filter. That's what I'm I'm like, so they got you and we're aware and it got you. And he was like, I didn't do enough research. I should have done.
same.
Aycee Brown (38:40.394)
Exactly. So that's what I think is going to happen is that people are going to start saying, wait a minute, let me do some research. think it's good. But however, the good thing for, you know, people who don't want to do research, there's going to be people who don't care about that. Who's going to be like, no, I'm just going to go over here. I think there's going to be two sets of people, people who are in granted. You can use it as, you know, I have a teacher.
A writing teacher's say to me recently, use it as an intern. Don't use it as a professor. Yeah, use it as an intern. Yeah, use it as an intern, not a professor. Use it as an intern. That's what it's for, as an intern. you can, you know, sometimes I can't calculate something and figure out the weeks and whatever or.
Very valuable.
Aycee Brown (39:37.046)
If I'm creating content, you know, have this, yeah, like use it as an intern, not the professor. You are the professor. And I think that that's what's going to happen. There's gonna be two sets of people who are, well, here's the thing. This is another thing that is going to.
Tell us.
be beneficial to people who actually are doing the work.
everyone's going to start sounding the same and then.
already does sound the same. Correct. is already happening.
Aycee Brown (40:16.162)
Everyone always sounds the same, but that's what's gonna be your differentiator. Because you're gonna have that little edge because you read a book on this thing. Or you actually sat and read the article. That one sentence that you say or the way you say that one.
a little bit of depth instead of just staying on the surface.
Exactly, because you're going to bring yourself, your experience. Like that's what people can't take away.
inner wisdom. Richard Rudd keeps talking about that. Can't bottle up wisdom. To kind of expand on this, feel like you calling out, we're going to be questioning these authorities. We're kind of in this time period now where we're being tested. Like the background frequency is changing. Are you embodied and using the sovereignty agency authority that you're equipped with? Or are you giving that kind of
You know, like to ride.
Vaness Henry (41:19.598)
personal power away, and now it's getting louder. Like, do you remember in 2019, thinking about 2027 and, the background frequency is gonna change, and what does that mean? And then here we are at the threshold, and to see the way the world has changed since 2019 has been really dramatic. Yes. Thankfully, we had some podcasts throughout there narrating through that experience. The Each Other podcast, which is still available. You can still listen to it. People still listen to it. It gets...
They do?
Thousands of downloads. No, it's No, it's I don't even understand. That's what I keep. I keep paying for it because I'm like, well, we're listening to it. So here we go. Nobody advertises it. I don't know. I don't know why it's doing that. But it's just for girlfriends gabbing. And that's how we started to get to know each other. Was that we were aware of each other. We're talking about human design. You always came at it from this like trauma informed space. And you're like, no, as a black woman, hear me from this position.
well why not?
Vaness Henry (42:17.538)
because there's some whiteness in this thing that needs to be evaluated.
It's all over. It's all over sprinkle, babe.
You've done different types of books like that too, kind of exploring that, the one that you did with Karen Currie Parker's publishing house. What was that one called? Could you please remind me?
your soul map.
Your soulmate. Also a great word. Also a great word in there. Love that. Yeah, so you've taken this position to educate us and to kind of help build our awareness. And this is how it's kind of evolved and unfolded, which has been just a privilege to watch, you know, and see the cool creative things you've done. I love to watch the three-five. Best character on the field. But this background frequency changing and our authority becoming really, really important.
Vaness Henry (43:04.462)
What do you think is gonna unfold now that we enter 2027 and this sort of human design folklore, you know, this parable, you know I mean, of 2027? What is that to you? What is that?
To me, it's you're gonna find out who is phony and fake and who is not.
That's really it. It's gonna be a big thing. that? Everything. Everything. You won't be able to just pretend or act as if like...
even applies to like companies and like.
Vaness Henry (43:39.022)
Everybody's gonna sound the same. Everybody's gonna be.
What else is going on? Like, what else? How do you really feel? And I'm not saying that, you know, everyone needs to be an activist or anything like that. It's just going to be, who are you as a person? And you won't be able to pretend anymore.
box.
Vaness Henry (44:07.288)
So psychic medium, visionary.
I like that. Fissionary. Fissionary.
visionary. What do we need to be aware of for this year in 2026? And what are let's know, I don't want to overload too many questions journalism faux pas as a collective and individuals. What do we need to be focused on or aware of for this year for 2026 based on energy of the year everything?
For me as an American, we were in a very stuck place last year where we were fearful, we're still fearful, but you can't stay in that. You gotta move. You gotta get up and do something for yourself. You know, I'm not saying...
America? What the fuck is going on there? I'm not in America. I you know, I have that outsider thing right now. I wanted to ask about AI I want to ask about 2027, you know, and now like America, know, let me
Aycee Brown (45:00.908)
They said we could come there.
Aycee Brown (45:08.75)
America? America has a problem.
What's it feeling like being a body in America right now?
I this is not new for me and my people. So I think it's just...
It's just new history was repeating itself. So what I feel is the anxiety. I know that someone in my lineage has felt this, even worse. So it to me is not necessarily something to overlook. It's really more about me regulating my nervous system in all of it. But as far as the energy,
You know, it's a one universal year. So we were paralyzed last year because we didn't know what was going to happen and it was happening so fast and something new every day. My advice that I've been telling people is to really focus on your community, focus on your body.
Aycee Brown (46:20.844)
to find joy in the little things and to also, like I said, don't let this stop your life. I know that it's bad, but you can't, you gotta move. You have to still go. Now is the perfect time to take a risk.
If that's what you're, you know, if all you got to look forward to is just waking up and that's kind of bleak. We shouldn't live like that. So take a risk, do something. Do something that you want to do. Take a class, write a book, start a podcast, do whatever you need to do to move forward and fulfill your dreams, your soul destiny. You were born in this timeframe for a reason. You exist in this timeframe. You matter.
but don't, don't let them steal your joy. Cause that's free. That's all you got.
You know, I had interviewed Kip recently on the show and he was talking about when he was younger, there was this moment where there was this Pluto-Uranus conjunction or something. And he's like, and there was such intense things going on. And then, and let's say the 20, in about 2015, the 2010s, we went through, oh yeah, and he was talking about there was this 12 year, you know, conjunction. wasn't, it was,
I went and did some research after he said that. It wasn't necessarily a 12-year conjunction, but for 12 years, there was this energy. And it happened again in the 2010s. There was this type of energy. And it's going to happen again in a few decades. So it's like the conjunction then became a square, then it's going to be a sextile. And so just kind of musing on the evolution of where we're at and Kip's story, where there was in...
Vaness Henry (48:11.05)
in the first kind of this first conjunction he was talking about, there was war in the streets and Kennedy was assassinated and there was a dictatorship, Castro, Fidel Castro. And then now when we look at, you know, things that were going on the 2010s going into 2020s, the war wasn't necessarily in, you know, the streets in the same way, but it became online, you know, where the fighting started to happen online.
The dictatorship themes were kind of coming online again. So there's it's not the exact same story But it's an echo of a pattern and we can expect that to kind of happen again I guess in a few decades so when we when we look to the past and we see some things that have gone on, know, are we gonna learn and When we look at what's going on with America right now a lot of the astrology communities talks about America's Pluto return and these these big things that are happening
Could we talk about what's happening in America from your perspective and opinion from that lens, the Pluto return lens, and what does that even mean? What does that even mean?
I mean, means Pluto's coming back to where it started and I don't wanna go.
That was a complete...
Aycee Brown (49:26.446)
don't know. For me, that looks different. It's different.
It's not the same story, but it's an echo.
It's not the same story, but it's an echo, but we have to be.
So probability view, what probably would happen in your opinion? We don't know, it's just a guess.
My hope is that...
Aycee Brown (49:50.606)
Hmm. And I'll just say it. I don't care. I hope that white people realize it can happen to you,
Vaness Henry (50:00.888)
that's gonna be the big movement. As soon as the white mom, Karen's.
And it just recently happened. It just recently happened in Minneapolis. A white woman got shot in the face.
And you're supposed to, that's gonna be.
She wasn't doing nothing. So if that, if Karen, if that doesn't tell you something.
that we're all victims.
Aycee Brown (50:25.698)
And you better get on board because it's gonna unravel quickly.
can unravel quickly. Do think there's going to be civil war through America?
Do you think the states or the people, because a lot of what we're seeing as an outsider, not from the country, is that a lot of suburbs, communities are like standing up for their community against things like ICE, against the government, against, you know, the people are revolting the government. the piece...
This is my thoughts. And this is just me having my shower talks with spirit.
What does Michael J. Fox say, you know? What does say?
Aycee Brown (51:08.664)
They're covering up something else. And that's what I don't know. What are they covering up?
They're covering up something else, because it just, mean, based off of history, right?
You are being the nocturnal visionary, seeing in the dark what's not seen right now. You're being very-
That's what I did. And just had this thought last night. said something else there. I said, wow, they're really trying. And this is literally what I I said, wow, they're really trying to distract us. something. Wow, I wonder what they're really trying to hide.
What think that, what could it be? I don't
Aycee Brown (51:53.87)
Bring them down. don't care. We're ready for that. More people are ready for that than they realize. I don't know. I don't know. It just doesn't make sense. A logical person would, looking at this, and even you looking at it from a different country,
Yeah.
It doesn't make sense at the disrupts. That doesn't make any sense. For what?
Right? So I'm like, damn, whatever they're trying to hide must be bad. Because it just doesn't make sense.
I feel like the New World Order, the paradigm shift that we're seeing is there's been these convergence of power with like China, Russia, the US, a realization of how much power is there and not the same distribution with the way we have like our world order, you know? And I was talking to my husband the other day and I was like, I think in our lifetime, we're gonna see the maps redrawn. Like.
Aycee Brown (53:08.046)
Really?
Yes, because we've been looking more more at indigenous maps before there was like colonization and how different tribes looked and what the landscape looked like when the lines were different. And I said to him, I think that, you know, we may we live long enough in our life, we'll see the map will look different. And then I heard myself say the map will look different. And I thought, what might that mean?
could see that, if anything.
Aycee Brown (53:40.16)
I what is probably happening where that's why I'm like, wow, I wonder. So here's, I do a lot of, I'm very fascinated with the CIA.
Me too. Andrew Bustamante? Big hair? Wife is Venezuelan?
No. No, well, send me stuff. And so based off of what I know about the CIA and how it's treated my people, It doesn't make sense how things are going on. And so that's why I am...
I'm not as much, which is interesting. not, now I do have anxiety, but I'm not concerned. I'm more curious to see what, yeah, what is it? Because based off of history and how they operate, things would have happened, been moved and like, it just wouldn't have.
So I
Vaness Henry (54:54.606)
It's gonna be revealed though. whatever the, like, or it's already revealed and it'll just be a matter of perception adjustment. But I think it is an interesting time to be alive based on the dramatic changes that have just been happening over the last 30 years and the speed in which they're happening. And we're just alive for that going on. Like, you know, and having to be examples of a species adapting so quickly.
Yeah, and this is so interesting. I don't know why this popped up in my head, but I am so thankful that I shut down why I always say I put it on a really long pause, my product space business. I would have been screwed.
You were doing that in our first episode on the podcast, each other. You were like, AC's juggling multiple businesses.
There was something that that 2020 Christmas that, and maybe that was just premonition because I remember I was having trouble getting glass. And I was just like, what fuck? Yeah, from my bath salts. Because my US suppliers got it from China.
Is that when Beyonce put you on
Vaness Henry (56:10.316)
Glass?
Aycee Brown (56:20.91)
And they were, and I was, I remember, never forget this. I used to pay probably $8 a case for 12 bottles. I had to search for the exact bottles and I remember paying, I had to buy two cases to fill orders and they were $32 each. And I said, oh no, I can't. I don't know when this is gonna, and that's when that
Yeah, I made a decision to stop doing it. But if I would have kept going, I would have been so screwed last year with tariffs, because by then, I probably would have been going direct to China and getting stuff. I would have been screwed.
Yeah.
But I saw it and I was like, no, I gotta get out of this now.
is going on? Where are we? Where are we? What dimension paradigm did we float in?
Aycee Brown (57:20.238)
That's interesting thing. It's working out for some people. It's also, you know, removing, you know, removing the veil because there's this big community of people who are building homes who are getting going straight to the manufacturer. So they're finding the manufacturers for, you know, all of the fancy crate and barrels and all that. They're going straight to the manufacturers. One lady, I saw her.
It was so beautiful. She was like, if I would have had to buy everything from the US, was what is going to cost me $110,000. I only spent $35,000 on everything from door to door.
That's insane.
I mean, she got countertops, she got backyard furniture. This one couch was so beautiful. And she said, I tallied it up, everything would have cost me, she was like a hundred and something thousand dollars, but I only paid 35,000 door to door. She's like, yeah, I might've had to wait six months for it, but. Who cares? Who cares?
I saved 70 grand. I'll wait six months. If somebody wants to find out more about you, they want to get the book, how do we find you online in the digital realm? How do we get to know you?
Aycee Brown (58:30.51)
Yeah, I'll wait six months.
Aycee Brown (58:42.254)

I'm, well, I want to, but are you gonna come to Toronto? I'm not coming. can't. No. I am gonna be doing events and that will be a city.
I know I'm far, I'm way in the West.
Vaness Henry (01:00:08.216)
You be where you need to be. You be where you need to be. And where's the book available?
Everywhere, everywhere you can buy a book.
Aycee Brown (01:00:17.878)
Everywhere. Everywhere. Anywhere you can buy a book. you have a local bookstore, indie bookstore, just go in and request it now so they can order it for you. Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes &
Get on that first.

And you know, it might drum up enough stuff where, you know, I'll come out there and do a book signing or a little gathering or something. Yeah. Love. Yeah.
Love.
So let's make that happen. Very fun. Okay, Aycee, well, you know that I love to take a peek into how this psychic sees things and sees the world. Aycee's guidance through 2026 is to focus on your community, focus on your body, remember to find joy in little things, don't stop living. Please this is the perfect time to take a risk.
Aycee Brown (01:01:26.731)
Yes, take a r-
Somewhere in your life, it's time for a radical experiment. Some dimension of your reality needs you to switch some things up and be brave and be courageous. AC's new book, Embodier Magic is out. Fantastic book. It's gonna read like a workbook. It is very emotionally attuned because it's been created by an emotional projector who's been in her experiment for over a decade. A brilliant three-five visionary nocturnal valleys person. Beautiful design with a totally open G center. Totally open G.
My friend, congratulations on doing this book. I know you've done so many cool projects, but this one feels different, feels exciting. It's coming out at this crazy threshold time. I think we are entering a time where we all need to really lean into whatever our inner authority is. And I actually think this is a resourceful tool, this book, to help you get in touch with whatever your gifts are, whatever your abilities are. Written by the one and only Miss Aycee Brown.
