The Illuminated Woman

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

Lori Latimer Episode 209

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 who’s quietly unraveling, not because she’s failed, but because she’s being refined.

In this episode, I share:

  • What led me to step away from social media and release the pressure to perform
  • Why the wilderness isn’t punishment—it’s preparation
  • The harm of spiritual bypassing and the healing that happens when we stop pretending
  • How God is present in the quiet places where the world no longer applauds you

🎧 Tune in and let this be your reminder: You don’t have to do more to be loved. You can rest right where you are.
