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 fo...

220 The Dark Side of Channeling: From Mystical to Dangerous

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...

219 The Stars Can’t Save You: Exposing the Idolatry of Karmic Astrology

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 da...

218 Chains Broken, Faith Restored: Sarah’s Journey Back to God

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 conversation. Sarah opens her heart with honesty and vulnerability, shari...

217 The Women at the Tomb: Faith, Fear, and the Dawn of True Illumination

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 ever felt unseen, silenced, or weary from waiting, this episo...

216 The Eclipse Obsession: How Darkness Deceives the Modern Woman

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 of His sovereignty. In this episode of The Illuminated ...

215 Revival in the Wake of Violence: Why We Can’t Stay Silent

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.

214 Beyond Curses and Karma: How Scripture Reframes Generational Healing

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 Scripture actually says about generational consequences — and the great...

213 From Jehovah’s Messengers to New Age Masters: Let's Talk About Angels

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’ve ever wondered what’s real, what’s distorted, and how to di...

212 Let's Talk About Reincarnation

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 teaching of Scripture. We’ll also explore what the Bible says about eternal life — including a listener Q...

211 The Truth About Judgment: From Tolerance to Truth

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 the difference between judgment, condemnation, and loving accountability within the Body of ...

210 Being Alone in the Wilderness - Lessons From The First Person To Give God A Name

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 of feeling forgotten, this episode will remind you: God sees you. He hears you. And He has not aband...

209 When the Wilderness Is Where You’re Meant to Be

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 in this season—you’re not alone. This episode is for the woman...

206 She Doesn't Light Her Own Path - The Truth About The Illuminated Woman

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.

203 From Empty Rituals to Holy Relationship

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 this journey is not unique to me. We’ll explore what Scriptur...

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 crossroads. As my physical vision began to fade, God gen...
