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 episode of The Illuminated Woman, I’m diving into one of the strangest, most eye-opening sections of the Old Testament—Numbers 21 - 24. These chapters are filled with unexpected messengers: a fiery serpent, a talking donkey, and a corrupt oracle. And yet, each one is used by God to confront, correct, and protect.
I share a personal story about how one small word - church - kept showing up in my life during the summer of 2024...
Grief isn’t a one-time event - it’s a thread that weaves its way through different seasons of our lives. In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of how I’ve walked through the grief of losing my dad at 33, my mom at 54, my son at 59, and most recently, my beloved dog Huckle just before turning 66.
Each loss was different. Each one shaped me. And through it all, even when I wasn’t walking with God - He never left.

For years, I believed strength meant independence. That empowerment meant self-sovereignty. And that peace would come once I finally figured myself out.
In this episode, I return to Genesis chapters 1–3—not to debate feminism or self-led spirituality, but to quietly let Scripture do what it does best: restore order, dignity, and truth.
Genesis doesn’t shout. It doesn’t argue with modern ideology. It simply predates it.
Before there we...
As this year comes to a close, I wanted to end with a message that isn’t about hustle, resolutions, or reinventing yourself—but about finishing well. In this final episode of the year, we step into the sacred space of 2 Timothy, Paul’s last letter, and explore what it means to live with boldness, obedience, and quiet endurance in a world obsessed with performance.
This isn’t about flashy faith or spiritual ambition. It’s about faith...
As Hanukkah begins, let's explore this beautiful holiday which most Christians (including myself) don't know from a Biblical and historical perspective. In this episode, we'll explore the powerful and often overlooked message of Hanukkah—not as a holiday on the fringes of faith, but as a deeply prophetic and personal invitation for women to rededicate what the world has tried to ruin.
If you've ever felt burned o...
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we're diving deep into 1 Timothy chapters 1–3 — and what they reveal about living a sincere, Spirit-led life in a culture obsessed with visibility, influence, and spiritual performance. Whether you’ve had a platform or simply lead in your home, this message is for the woman who longs to walk in quiet strength, spiritual maturity, and God-honoring purpose.
I share how the Apostle Paul’s ...
Have you ever joined a sisterhood, mentorship, or spiritual empowerment group that promised deep connection—but over time, you started feeling more lost, more muted, and more disconnected from your real life?
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, I’m sharing a vulnerable look at how so many modern feminine empowerment circles masquerade as community but lead women into spiritual isolation and identity erosion. Rooted in Proverbs...
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, we're taking an honest look at something that’s been everywhere the past several years - gratitude. We’ve been told that gratitude will fix everything. You just need to raise your vibration, manifest your dreams, and attract abundance. But what if gratitude has quietly become just another form of spiritual hustle?
In this conversation, I share how I once fell into the “gratitude...
One year ago, I came home from a trip to Destin, Florida—exhausted, burned out, and soul-weary from years of chasing peace, purpose, and power in all the wrong places. One night not long after, I fell to my knees and cried out, “God, I can’t do this alone anymore.” And everything changed.
In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing what a full year of saying yes to God has taught me.
From karmic astrology and Akashic Records to chur...
What’s really happening in the growing movement of Christian deliverance ministries?
In this powerful episode of The Illuminated Woman, we're going to have a deeply honest and discerning conversation about the rise of modern-day deliverance ministry—and whether it reflects Biblical truth or spiritual performance. With gentleness and clarity, we'll explore both sides of the debate surrounding Mark 16:14–18, the role of the ...
After exposing The Pretty Side of Deception in the last episode, we explore a powerful message from Colossians 3–4 — a passage that shows what happens after the deception is revealed.
In this conversation, I share her personal story of leaving karmic astrology and discovering what it really means to die to the old self and be raised in Christ. We uncover how New Age and New Thought movements have hijacked the word “resurrection” to ...
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we’re exposing one of the most seductive lies in modern spirituality: the curated, beautiful, emotionally soothing version of feminine spirituality that looks sacred—but is rooted in self-made religion.
Drawing deeply from Colossians 1–2, we'll walk through how rituals, divine feminine teachings, and aesthetic spirituality may have the appearance of wisdom, but lack the power to transfo...
Channeling is everywhere right now — from TikTok lives and YouTube streams to bestselling books and new thought churches. It looks mystical, empowering, and even glamorous. But the truth? Channeling isn’t light. It’s dangerous.
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, we're going to expose the hidden history of channeling, from the Fox sisters in the 1800s to Jane Roberts’ “Seth” in the 1960s, Esther Hicks’ “Abraham” i...
For years, I gave karmic astrology readings. I believed birth charts held soul contracts, past life wounds, and divine purpose. But the truth? It was never the stars guiding me—it was spiritual deception dressed in self-discovery.
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, I’m sharing why karmic astrology feels comforting but leads to confusion, how it distorts God’s truth, and why only Christ—not Pluto, karma, or the 8th house—can b...
In this deeply moving episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, I sat down with a very special guest, Sarah Bornique — a dear friend of my late son, Greg. Their connection began 18 years ago in a high school classroom, when Greg’s compassion led him to step in for a classmate who needed a friend. What began as a simple act of kindness grew into a story of redemption, restoration, and faith that comes full circle in this conversatio...
When the world turned away, the women stayed. Mark 15–16 tells the story of women who witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion, stood near His tomb, and became the first to hear the good news of the resurrection. In this episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, we explore how their story speaks to women today—reminding us that even in silent seasons, our faith matters, our voice matters, and our hope is anchored in the risen Christ.
If you’ve ...
Have you noticed how the world treats eclipses like sacred portals? Women gather for retreats, astrologers hype them as “gateways,” and social media fills up with rituals tied to the moon and stars.
I used to live for that. I planned my life around eclipses, believing they held power over my destiny. But something shifted. When I surrendered to God, He opened my eyes to the truth: eclipses are not spiritual portals — they are signs ...
In this episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, we unpack a timely and weighty message: revival is stirring, and silence is no longer an option. Using Jeremiah 47:6–7 as an anchor, we'll explore what it means when God’s Word refuses to rest, how tragedy can spark revival, and why women of faith are called out of lukewarmness into bold obedience.
The recent ass*ssination of Charlie Kirk has awakened millions to faith, politics...
The world says your struggles are caused by generational trauma, ancestral curses, or karmic cycles — and that you need rituals, regressions, or charts to “break free.” But what if that’s not the truth at all?
In this powerful episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, I'll share my own journey from karmic astrology, past-life regressions, and ancestral “healing” practices into the truth of God’s Word. You’ll discover what Scrip...
Have you ever been told to “call on Archangel Michael for protection” or “ask Raphael for healing”? The New Age is filled with angel talk — but much of it is counterfeit. In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we uncover the truth about Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and the other so-called “archangels.”
We’ll see how Scripture reveals angels as God’s messengers and warriors — not spiritual masters, guides, or healers. If you’...
