233 When the Path Pauses: Why I’m Stepping Away for a Season
2026/03/12
After being away from the podcast for several weeks, I wanted to come on and share an honest update. About five weeks ago I developed a health issue that has completely knocked me for a loop. I’ve been to the hospital twice and am currently working with doctors to figure out what’s going on. Between the pain, the medications, and the testing ahead, I simply don’t have the physical or mental bandwidth right now to continue producing the podcast.
As many of you know, creating each episode involves hours of work beyond the recording itself—research, editing, writing show notes, creating social media, and preparing newsletters. Right now, I need to reserve my energy for healing and for my work, so I’m placing the podcast on hold for a season while I focus on my health.
This season has also reminded me how grateful I am for the strong health foundation I’ve built over the years and for the clarity that comes from staying grounded in God’s Word. When life becomes uncertain, faith gives us something solid to stand on. My hope is that this journey—both the struggles and the transformation—continues to encourage you to seek truth and walk closely with God.
While the podcast is paused, I will still be sharing a daily Scripture graphic on Instagram at 9:15 a.m. Eastern as part of my Year in the Word for Women. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for walking with me through the past six years of this podcast. I’m deeply grateful for your support, and I hope to return when the time is right.
Right now I don’t know when I’ll be back. I hope you will “follow” the podcast on whatever podcast app you use, so when I do come back (as I hope to do), a new episode will pop up in your podcast feed.
The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you’re just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.

232 The Serpent, the Donkey, and the Oracle: What God Uses to Open Your Eyes
2026/02/02
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. I didn’t want it. I tried to ignore it. But just like the serpent in the wilderness, the donkey on the road, or the prophetic blessing spoken by Balaam, it was the unexpected thing God used to open my eyes.
This episode is for the woman who’s been hearing a whisper she didn’t expect. The one who’s unsure if God could really be speaking through pain, people she dismissed, or even circumstances that feel confrontational. We’ll unpack what these strange messengers reveal about God's protection, His holiness, and the way He opens the eyes of His daughters - even when they’ve been wandering.
🔑 What You'll Learn:
Why God used a serpent to bring healing—and what that means for your painHow a donkey saw what a prophet couldn’t, and how God still uses unexpected voicesWhat the oracles in Numbers teach us about discernment, especially compared to New Age "oracle" practicesWhy even spiritually gifted people can lead others into deceptionHow to recognize when God is opening your eyes—and how to respond in obedienceBe sure to share this episode with a friend who’s navigating spiritual confusion, wrestling with truth, or unsure if God is still speaking to her.
The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you.

231 Not One Tear Wasted: Trusting God Through Every Loss
2026/01/26
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 turned to New Age and occult teachings to try and explain away my pain. But when I lost my son, everything unraveled. That grief broke open what none of those spiritual teachings could reach—and it was through that unraveling that I finally found the true comfort and healing of Jesus Christ.
In this episode, I invite you into an honest conversation about:
Why grief feels different depending on the lossHow spiritual bypassing in the New Age can numb real sorrowWhat the Bible says about mourning, comfort, and eternityStories of Biblical women who experienced profound lossHow God wastes no tear—even when we’ve walked through grief without HimWhether you’ve lost a parent, a child, a pet, a marriage, or a version of yourself, this episode is a sacred space to reflect, grieve, and begin healing.
I want you to know: God sees your sorrow. He remembers your tears. And He is near—even in the silence.
The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you.

230 She Was Made Before the Movement: How Genesis 1–3 Undoes Feminism’s Greatest Lie
2026/01/12
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 were movements, methods, or manifestos, there was a woman who walked with God—unburdened by self-optimization, identity obsession, or rivalry. And in these opening chapters of the Bible, we see how so much of what exhausts women today began with a single lie: that we would be better off without God.
This episode is for women who:
Feel worn down by independence masquerading as empowermentHave questioned feminism but don’t know what comes nextHave walked through self-led spirituality and felt its quiet costLong for rest, clarity, and truth without pressure or performanceIn this episode we explore how Genesis 1–3 dismantles the modern narrative that women must become more, rise higher, or govern themselves in order to be whole—and how God’s original design offers something far more freeing.
Why This Matters for the Modern Illuminated Woman
Many women today feel pressured to:
Heal themselvesEmpower themselvesLead themselvesSave themselvesGenesis gently reveals that this burden was never ours to carry.
We were not created to be projects.
We were created to be daughters.
This episode is an invitation to step out of striving, lay down self-sovereignty, and return to the quiet, powerful posture of walking with God.
The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you.

229 She Fought the Good Fight: Why the Illuminated Woman Finishes Well
2025/12/29
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 faithful women who stay the course—even when it’s hard, even when no one’s watching, even when the applause fades.
I share some personal stories about how I used to chase visibility and validation in the New Age, how I tried to gather teachers who told me what I wanted to hear, and how God lovingly disrupted all of that. Together, we’ll reflect on spiritual legacy, obedience, discernment, and the quiet glory of a woman who chooses to finish the race set before her.
In this episode you'll hear:
Why 2 Timothy is the perfect closing message for the end of the yearThe difference between spiritual performance and spiritual enduranceWhat it means to share God's Word even if no one seems to be listeningThe dangers of “ear-tickling” messages in New Age and modern spiritualityHow to live out a legacy of quiet, generational faith like Lois and EuniceWhy finishing your race matters more than how perfectly you started itI also shared a lot of journal questions for you to work with that I hope will support you at any time of the year.
Whether this year felt fruitful or like a wilderness, I pray this episode anchors you in what matters most: keeping the faith.

228 She Rededicated What the World Tried to Ruin: The Hidden Message of Hanukkah
2025/12/15
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 out, worn down, or like your faith has been invaded by spiritual confusion or cultural compromise, this episode is for you. I take you through the historical and prophetic backdrop of Hanukkah, including how it connects to the Book of Daniel, how Jesus honored it in the Gospel of John, and why its themes of dedication, light, and holy resistance speak directly to modern women.
From the miracle of the oil to the cleansing of the desecrated Temple, this episode is filled with biblical truth, historical insight, and soul-deep reflection. I also share how this message intersects with my own journey—especially the season when I tried to blend Christian language with New Age practices and ended up spiritually exhausted.
Together, we’ll talk about what it means to:
Reclaim your sacred groundOffer God your “small oil” when it feels like you have nothing leftBecome a vessel of His light instead of trying to perform for approvalLet go of spiritual counterfeits and rededicate your soul to GodIf this episode helped you rededicate part of your life to God or see Hanukkah in a whole new light, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick review? Your reviews help The Illuminated Woman podcast reach more women who are ready to reclaim truth and walk in holy clarity.

227 A Sincere Faith in a Sensational World: The Power of Modesty, Maturity, and Meaning
2025/12/08
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 letter to Timothy speaks to modern women navigating curated social media feeds, charismatic false teachers, and the confusion of “truths” offered by New Age and self-help movements. We explore modesty, character, reverence, and why God’s design for women isn’t outdated — it’s a call to something deeper, freer, and more beautiful.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or unsure where you fit in the church… or if you’ve been disillusioned by loud voices that lacked love — this episode will meet you right where you are and remind you that sincere faith still matters.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why sound doctrine is an act of loveWhat modesty truly means (hint: it’s about the posture of your heart, not just your clothing)The seductive influence of the Artemis cult in Ephesus — and its eerie parallels with modern-day feminine “spirituality”Why “good works” don’t earn you salvation but reveal who you're walking withWhat Biblical leadership really looks like — even if you're never on a stageHow sincere women are the backbone of the church — not just the ones with microphonesWhy intercession matters and how to stand in the gap through prayerA redemptive reframing of passages often used to silence or shame women*Note* I misspoke at one point. I referenced 1 Timothy 3:13 when I meant to reference 1 Timothy 3:15.
The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you.

226 The Sisterhood That Silences You: When Isolation Masquerades as Empowerment
2025/12/01
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 18:1, I explore how these programs lure us in with language like “safe space,” “authenticity,” and “alignment,” yet often result in silence, sameness, and separation from truth.
I share my personal experience of slowly losing my voice in these circles - adopting the group’s vocabulary, dressing like the other women, even wearing the same symbolic necklace - all while believing I was finding my true self. But once I stepped out, I felt ungrounded, uncertain, and untethered.
This episode is a wake-up call for the woman who has been craving real connection, but looking for it in the wrong places. It’s for the one who knows something feels off, but hasn’t had the words for it—until now.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
Why Proverbs 18:1 is a powerful warning about isolation disguised as empowermentHow many women unknowingly give away their voice inside so-called sisterhood circlesThe Stepford Wives effect: why everyone starts sounding, dressing, and thinking the sameWhy these groups lead to spiritual and relational isolation—even from family and friendsWhat Biblical sisterhood actually looks like, and how it sharpens instead of silencesMy personal story of how I felt shaky and lost after leaving these groupsA prayer and reflection for reclaiming your God-given voice and communitySome journal questions to help you if you've been in - or are still in - these spacesIf this episode speaks to your journey—especially if you're recovering from false sisterhoods, New Age spaces, or performance-based spirituality—you're not alone. You're not too far gone. And you can rebuild, voice by voice, step by step, in the truth of God's Word.

225 The Gratitude Trap: When Thankfulness Becomes Another Hustle
2025/11/24
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 trap” myself - treating thankfulness like a tool to get what I wanted instead of worshipping the One who gives. We’ll unpack what the Bible really says about gratitude, how New Age and New Thought teachings have distorted it, and why true gratitude leads to rest, not performance.
You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between gratitude and thankfulness, why gratitude without God is empty, and how appreciation can point you back to the Giver when it’s rightly ordered. Together, we’ll walk through Scriptures like 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Philippians 4:6–7, and Psalm 136 - and discover that gratitude isn’t a “high-vibe” state to maintain, but a holy posture of worship and surrender.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to “be more grateful” so you can finally manifest peace or abundance, this episode will help you step off the hamster wheel and back into God’s presence.
What You’ll Hear In This Episode:
The real difference between Biblical gratitude and New Age gratitudeHow gratitude journals and affirmations can become a form of strivingWhy gratitude without God becomes another version of self-help performanceThe Scriptural truth that gratitude is worship, not a manifestation toolHow to tell the difference between thankfulness and gratitudeWhat appreciation looks like when it points back to the GiverPractical ways to live with gratitude as a daily act of faithGratitude isn’t another task to perform—it’s an invitation to worship. When we lift our thanks to God, we step out of the trap of striving and into the peace of His presence.

224 No More Striving: What a Year of Saying Yes to God Taught Me
2025/11/17
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 church pews and quiet obedience, this is the story of how I walked away from New Age spirituality and found the peace I couldn’t manifest—by surrendering to the God who never left me.
This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about perspective—how I still stumble, still sin, still get it wrong… but I no longer live in fear or perform for love. Because now I know who I am—and Whose I am. My hope is that you'll see some of yourself in this.
I’ll talk about how…
I returned to church for the first time in years and finally found restKarmic astrology and Akashic Records are crutches that excuse sinI was legally blind—and how walking by faith helped me truly seeMy finances improved when I stopped spending on spiritual striving and seeking... but never findingMy legal work now flows with ease because I’m grateful, not resentfulThe podcast has shifted from performance to purpose—serving women who are waking up to deception and longing for truthWhether you’re curious, questioning, or right in the middle of your own surrender… this episode is for you.

223 Deliverance or Performance? Let's Talk About Casting Out Demons
2025/11/10
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 seventy-two disciples, the sons of Sceva, and what Scripture actually says about casting out demons.
I also share my personal reflections as a woman who came out of New Age practices, energy healing, and spiritual performance—and who now views deliverance through the lens of obedience, not emotional spectacle. Whether you’re confused by deliverance teachings, have participated in group sessions, or feel pressure to walk in “authority,” this episode offers a compassionate pause to ask the deeper question: Is this really from God?
In this episode we cover:
What Mark 16:14–18 really says—and why it’s often misusedWho the seventy-two disciples were in Luke 10 and what their assignment revealsHow spiritual performance often masquerades as “power” in modern ministriesThe psychological and emotional factors behind group deliverance sessionsWhy repeated “deliverance” sessions may actually point to deception, not freedomWhat the Bible actually tells believers to do instead of casting out demonsHow true freedom is found in daily surrender—not weekly manifestationsIf you’ve been part of a deliverance ministry, or have felt confused, pressured, or unsure about whether something you experienced was real or not—this episode gives you permission to breathe. To ask questions. And to seek God’s wisdom with no guilt and no performance.
You don’t need to rush into power. You are safe to root into truth.

222 The Quiet Strength of a Resurrected Woman: The Beauty the World Can’t Manufacture
2025/11/03
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 glorify self-power — and why true resurrection isn’t a rebrand or “next-level season,” but a holy surrender that leads to quiet, lasting transformation.
If you’ve been in that in-between space — between who you were and who God is forming you to be — this episode will help you find peace in the pause, strength in hiddenness, and beauty that the world can’t manufacture.
In this episode, you'll discover:
The difference between reinvention and resurrectionHow New Age mentors distort the idea of “rising” and “rebirth”Why true transformation requires death to self before new life in ChristHow to let God fill the empty spaces instead of rushing to “manifest” something newWhat it means to be clothed in Christ — compassion, humility, gentleness, and peaceHow to live for Heaven’s applause instead of the world’s approvalWhen you stop striving to reinvent yourself and allow God to resurrect you, everything changes. The pace slows. The noise quiets. What once felt like loss becomes holy preparation. The Illuminated Woman doesn’t chase visibility or validation anymore—she learns to rest in the hidden work of God, trusting that what He resurrects in secret will one day reflect His glory in full light. This episode reveals it all.

221 The Pretty Side of Deception: When Feminine Spirituality Isn’t Biblical Truth
2025/10/27
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 transform or save.
You’ll hear my personal story of reading Colossians for the first time while visiting Destin, Florida—exactly one year after God began pulling me out of the New Age. This powerful, Scripture-rich episode is a must-listen for Christian women who are waking up to the false light and craving true Biblical wisdom and freedom in Christ.
🕊️ What We Cover:
The seductive appeal of goddess culture and soft spiritual languageWhat Colossians 2:23 really says about “the appearance of wisdom”How New Age and self-help repackage pride as “activation,” “alignment,” and “ascension”Why “feminine spirituality” without Christ is still idolatryWhat it means to be truly filled in ChristThe difference between aesthetic curation and true sanctificationHow to walk in spiritual discernment and die to self daily🎧 Listen in if you've ever:

220 The Dark Side of Channeling: From Mystical to Dangerous
2025/10/20
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” in the 1980s, and the explosion of channelers on social media today.
I also share my personal story of channeling an entity called the council of WE — how my voice changed, what it felt like to be overtaken, and why the experience pushed me to cry out to God. Most importantly, you’ll discover what Scripture says about mediums, spirit guides, and counterfeit voices that masquerade as light.
If you’ve ever been curious about channeling, encountered it in new age or new thought spaces, or wondered why so many women are drawn to it, this episode will help you see clearly through a Biblical lens.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The history of channeling — from spiritualist séances to today’s TikTok trendsHow Jane Roberts’ Seth and Esther Hicks’ Abraham shaped modern New Age teachingsWhy women are especially vulnerable to channeling and “false light” spiritualityMy personal story of channeling the council of WE — and how God delivered me from itWhat Scripture says about mediums, spiritists, and testing the spiritsHow to recognize the difference between counterfeit voices and the voice of the ShepherdChanneling may look mystical, but it’s not harmless.

219 The Stars Can’t Save You: Exposing the Idolatry of Karmic Astrology
2025/10/13
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 bring true healing and freedom.
We’ll explore the spiritual danger of astrology, how it excuses sin, encourages goddess worship, and pulls us away from the authority of Scripture. Whether you’ve practiced astrology, followed transits, or just felt the pull toward cosmic “truth,” this conversation will illuminate what you’ve been searching for all along: the voice of your Creator.
🔍 What We Cover in This Episode:
What karmic astrology is and why it feels so appealingThe spiritual deception hidden in Pluto, the 8th house, and the NodesHow astrology leads women away from the Bible and into idol worshipWhy karmic language excuses sin and delays repentanceThe seductive pull of goddess worship and archetypes like LilithWhat Romans 1:25 reveals about worshiping creation instead of the CreatorHow to break free from the astrology cycle and walk in God’s truth
