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.

Guru vs. Guide: Breaking the Illusions & Reclaiming Your Inner Brilliance
When I began my online business journey over a decade ago, I got caught up in following people who appeared to have all the answers. I thought they knew more than I did. And while they did have more knowledge and experience in certain areas than I did, many of them wanted to be put on a pedestal, like an object to be adored and admired. There are some who still do, and it's time to have a conversation about that. As an Illuminated Woman, you don't need a guru, but we can all use a guide on our journey. In this episode, I share:
- The concept of a guru
- Why we seek out a "guru"
- How we outsource our power to others - and the danger in that
- The purpose of a guide
- How we can work with a guide
- Areas where I gave my power away to "gurus" in the past - and how I stepped away from that
- How you can reclaim your own "inner guru"
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.
