The Illuminated Woman

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 bandwi...

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...

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 walkin...

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...

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...

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 ru...

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 pur...

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...

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 shar...

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...

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 surrou...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 c...

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 anc...

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...

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...

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 Go...

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...

Is reincarnation real? Do our souls return again and again to “heal” and “evolve” — or is this a lie that keeps us from the truth of the Gospel? In this episode of The Illuminated Woman , we pull back the veil on one of the New Age’s most enticing beliefs: reincarnation. You’ll learn how it subtly undermines the cross, keeps women trapped in cycles of self-effort, and contradicts the clear teachin...

For years, I believed judgment was unkind, unloving, and something “spiritual” people avoided. The New Age and New Thought taught me that tolerance was the highest virtue—that everyone should be free to “live their truth” without interference.  But then I discovered what the Bible actually says about judgment—and it’s not what the world teaches. In this episode of The Illuminated Woman , we unpack...

In this sacred and deeply personal follow-up to last week’s episode, I share the story of Hagar—a woman in Scripture who walked through the wilderness not once, but twice. Discarded, unseen, and weary, she was met by the God who called her by name. And she became the first person in the Bible to give God a name in return: El Roi (pronounced El Roh-EE )— The God Who Sees Me. If you’re in a season o...

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, s...
