She was a nurse in the ICU, raised Baptist, mothering, wife-ing, surviving—until Spirit began whispering louder. Through grief and gut-truths, ancestral dreams and a deep church awakening, Ermi listened. And when she finally said yes, everything changed.
In this raw, magnetic episode, Ermi shares her journey from a strict Christian upbringing to becoming a deeply Spirit-led psychic medium. Her story weaves through unchurching, ancestral reclamation, and breaking stereotypes as a Black woman in the spiritual space.
We talk about hearing Spirit in the hospital, reconciling faith with mediumship, and why representation isn't just powerful—it's necessary.
This conversation is an offering for anyone trying to hold God and intuition in the same hand.
Ermi: "Whoever controls your mind, controls you."
