The Illuminated Woman

The Illuminated Woman

The Illuminated Woman is a sanctuary for women leaving New Age deception and returning to the truth of God’s Word. Hosted by Lori Latimer, a former New Age practitioner turned follower of Jesus, this podcast helps you untangle spiritual lies, reclaim your God-given identity, and walk boldly in Biblical truth—with grace, wisdom, and unwavering faith. Rooted in faith, deeply discerning, and unapologetically walking in God's wisdom and direction—The Illuminated Woman is where clarity meets conviction, and healing begins in truth.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about what it’s looked like to step away from striving and surrender to a slower, more sacred pace of life. After years of building a new age business, working as a paralegal, navigating deep grief, and trying to make sense of it all, I’ve found myself in a wilderness season. And instead of resisting it, I’m learning to receive it.

If you’re burned out, soul-weary, or unsure of your place i...

You’ve been told to “be the light.” To call your power back. To manifest your own destiny. But what if that empowerment you were promised was actually a burden you were never meant to carry?

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we uncover the truth about what it really means to be illuminated — not by your own strength, rituals, or womb wisdom, but by the One true Light who never burns out.

So many women are waking up to the realization that the spiritual teachings they once followed left them more anxious, confused, and exhausted than before. In this episode, we take a deeper look at the philosophies of New Thought and New Age—and how they’ve shaped modern society, self-help culture, and even your favorite affirmations.

Have you ever followed all the rules of religion but still felt far from God? You’re not alone. For many women, religion taught behavior, not belief. Rituals, not relationship. And the result? A deep disconnect from the One who created us for closeness, not performance.

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, I share my personal journey of pushing back against God after years in a religious system that left me feeling empty - and ...

What if the very thing you feared losing the most is what God uses to help you finally see clearly? 

In this episode I share my deeply personal journey of going from legally blind to having 20/20 vision—and how that physical blindness mirrored a spiritual blindness I didn’t even know I had.

After 15 years in the New Age, immersed in energy healing, astrology, and searching for truth through countless modalities, I found myself at a c...

NOTE: Nothing said in this episode is to suggest that trauma and loss are not real, or that there are not real effects from them. 

Have you ever felt like no matter how much inner work you do, there’s always something else to heal? Like you’re constantly clearing, purging, and upgrading—but never arriving at wholeness?

The New Age has created an endless cycle of healing that keeps women feeling broken, unworthy, and always searching ...
