Grief. It’s almost a taboo word in Western society. And yet, it’s a universal human experience and comes in many forms: the loss of a marriage or job, when a cherished friend (human or pet), an aunt or uncle, sibling, Mom or Dad cross the Veil. But if your child takes his or her last breath before you do, you’re thrown into a world that’s unimaginable and indescribable. If you’re a Mom that has a child in Spirit, this podcast is for you. With Grace, hope, a little tough love, and even some wit and humor along the way, this podcast will honor where you are. Join me, Lori Latimer, Intuitive Soul Navigator, as my guests and I share insights, tools, and techniques to assist you on your grief journey. Every Tuesday, we’ll journey into all the dark places of grief, shining a light on them so you can integrate them rather than avoid them. The Grief With Grace podcast will inspire you to find Moments Of Joy In the Everyday so you can continue to live your life after the unimaginable has happened, and in doing so, honor your precious child’s life and legacy.
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.

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.

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:
Whether 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.

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:
In 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:
Genesis 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.

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:
I 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.

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:

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.

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:
If 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.

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:
Gratitude 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.

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…
Whether you’re curious, questioning, or right in the middle of your own surrender… this episode is for you.

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:
If 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.

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:
When 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.

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.

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.

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.

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, sharing her journey through brokenness, shame, adultery, and hidden battles, and how God’s relentless love never stopped pursuing her. She reflects on what it means to remove the “religious mask,” to wrestle with sin while still hungering for God, and how true freedom comes when we surrender fully to Him.
Together, Sarah and I talked about:
This episode is a reminder that chains can be broken, shame can be lifted, and God’s grace can restore what feels too far gone. Sarah’s story is raw, real, and filled with hope for anyone who has felt unworthy, unseen, or stuck in a cycle of striving.
Whether you’re navigating your own faith walk, leaving behind New Age or worldly distractions, or simply longing for encouragement — this conversation will remind you that God’s timing is always perfect, His grace is always sufficient, and His love never fails.
The song Sarah mentioned in our conversation is "He Knows My Name" by Francesca Battistelli.
The Bible verse I mentioned that I couldn't remember is Matthew 10:33 "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven."

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.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, silenced, or weary from waiting, this episode will encourage you to trust that God is working in the unseen and that resurrection always follows crucifixion.

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 Woman Podcast, I share my journey from eclipse obsession to true freedom in Christ. We’ll open Scripture together and see how the Bible talks about eclipses — not as gateways for transformation, but as reminders of God’s judgment, power, and glory. And we’ll explore why so many women are drawn to these cosmic events, and how we can guard our hearts against the deception of worshiping creation instead of the Creator.
✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:
If you’ve ever felt drawn to eclipse rituals or pressured to “harness the power of the moon,” this episode will help you see clearly how darkness deceives — and how the Light of Christ sets you free.

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 awakened millions to faith, politics, and the urgency of truth. I'll share my own story of being bold on the podcast but silent on social media, and how God is calling me — and all of us — to step into courage. This is a rooftop moment. Revival begins when we refuse to stay quiet.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🌿 For the Illuminated Woman Today:
The Illuminated Woman is not silent. She carries wisdom and courage in equal measure. She understands that revival doesn’t happen in comfort — it happens when women of faith lift their voices, rooted in Scripture, surrendered in Spirit, and unapologetically walking in God’s direction.

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?

You’ll discover what Scripture actually says about generational consequences — and the greater truth that obedience brings blessing, and Christ has already broken every curse.
This is the freedom the New Age can never offer.

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 discern the difference, this episode will open your eyes to the truth.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

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&A about what “the resurrection of the body” in the Apostles’ Creed really means (hint: it’s not reincarnation).
You’ll discover:
If you’ve believed in reincarnation or been drawn to ideas of past lives, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and the unshakable hope of the Gospel.
🎧 Listen now and share with another woman walking out of New Age beliefs who needs to hear the truth about reincarnation and the eternal life promised in Christ.

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 Christ. We’ll talk about why Jesus never meant “stay silent” when He said “Judge not,” how to discern truth from falsehood without falling into pride, and why speaking truth in love could be the most caring thing you ever do.
You’ll also hear an important clarification: believers are called to lovingly hold fellow believers accountable—not to condemn unbelievers who don’t yet follow Christ.
In this episode you'll discover:
If you’ve ever wrestled with when to speak up, how to do it without pride, or whether silence is the right choice—this episode will give you the Biblical clarity and courage you need.

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 abandoned you.

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 today’s episode of The Illuminated Woman, we’re diving deep into the spiritual practice of meditation—and asking the bold question: Is your meditation drawing you closer to God… or opening you up to deception?
If you've been practicing stillness through a New Age lens but are hungry for Biblical truth, this episode will help you discern what God truly says about meditation and how to return to a Christ-centered posture of peace, reflection, and intimacy with Him.
In this episode, we explore:

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.

So many women are waking up to the realization that the spiritual teachings they once followed left them more anxious, confused, and exhausted than before. In this episode, we take a deeper look at the philosophies of New Thought and New Age—and how they’ve shaped modern society, self-help culture, and even your favorite affirmations.
You’ll hear how these teachings seduce women into spiritual striving, how figures like Napoleon Hill helped spread deceptive ideas, and why the constant pursuit of becoming your “highest self” might be the very thing keeping you from the peace and freedom you’re truly seeking.
We close the episode by returning to the real source of clarity and truth—the one path that doesn’t require performance.

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 Scripture actually says about knowing God, what “church” really means, and why even New Age spirituality is just another form of religion rooted in performance.

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 gently opened my spiritual eyes. Drawing parallels to the blind man in John 9 and Saul’s transformation in Acts 9, I invite you to consider the divine purpose in your own pain and confusion.

This testimony isn’t just about physical healing—it’s about the redemptive power of God to restore what was truly lost: spiritual sight.

In this deeply personal episode of The Illuminated Woman, I’m sharing the part of my story I never expected to tell—the moment I walked away from the New Age and surrendered fully to God.

NOTE: Nothing said in this episode is to suggest that trauma and loss are not real, or that there are not real effects from them.
Have you ever felt like no matter how much inner work you do, there’s always something else to heal? Like you’re constantly clearing, purging, and upgrading—but never arriving at wholeness?
The New Age has created an endless cycle of healing that keeps women feeling broken, unworthy, and always searching for the next breakthrough. The truth? It’s not about healing—it’s about business, and deception.
In this episode, we expose:
🔹 The toxic cycle of perpetual healing and why it never truly ends
🔹 How the New Age has monetized women’s self-doubt and insecurity
🔹 The corporate grind vs. the spiritual grind—how they’re more alike than you think
🔹 The predatory side of the healing industry and how it keeps women financially & emotionally dependent
🔹 Why true healing isn’t found in another program, activation, or certification—and where it is found

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we explore a profound shift in how we approach our spiritual practices—moving from rigid discipline to heart-centered devotion. While discipline provides structure and accountability, devotion brings love, reverence, and soul-deep connection to our daily rituals.

Join me as we unravel the balance between these two energies—masculine discipline and feminine devotion—and learn how to cultivate a spiritual practice that feels alive, nourishing, and deeply connected to God.

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:

How do you begin your morning? My morning ritual is a non-negotiable. In this episode, I share my daily rituals and some of the products I use. It’s taken me years to create a lifestyle that works for my body AND my Soul, and one that keeps my nervous system more balanced than at any other point in my life. In this episode I share:

Do you have a morning ritual? If you do, does it nourish your body and your Soul? In this episode, I share the importance of creating a nourishing morning ritual.
The way we begin our day creates the foundation for our day. Most of us jump out of bed and dive right into our day - whether it's getting kids up and off to school, checking your email and/or social media, drinking coffee, or watching the news. This creates a lot of stress and dysregulation to our nervous systems. It puts us in a hyper-masculine energy state when women are better served by beginning the day with more feminine energy. Women are more fluid in nature and require a morning ritual that's adaptive and intuitive.

It's time to dive into what the cosmos has in store for us during the 3rd quarter of 2024. We're heading into Retrograde Season and the beginning of the next Eclipse season, so there's a lot to look forward to!
We have 6 planets going retrograde this quarter: Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, Mercury and Pluto. Each one calls us to reflect on different areas of our lives.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse happens in mid-September and offers us the opportunity to celebrate what's come to completion and ready to be birthed and/or released.
As always, I offer you some insights and journal questions to help you navigate all of it because there's so much opportunity for growth, healing, and evolution during the retrogrades and the Eclipse.

As i mentioned in the trailer, this name was a stretch for me. And yet, I knew it was the right name when it came to me. In this short episode I'll share with you exactly who The Illuminated Woman is. I anticipate you'll see yourself in her.
Find me on Instagram and let me know if you see yourself as an Illuminated Woman, or if you're curious and feel you might be, but you aren't sure. Some of the traits are not easy to own about ourselves, and yet, they all live within us.

This episode has been brewing inside of me for several months, and it's finally time to release it.
They say the only thing constant in life is change, and that's certainly been my experience. In this episode, I share the journey of the Grief With Grace Podcast, and why it's time to bring it to completion.
Did I just say that? Yes, I did. It's very tender and bittersweet, and yet to ignore the guidance of my Soul would be in direct opposition to what I believe and know, and the messages I've shared over the past 4 years.
However, that does not mean this is the end of the podcast! Not at all. It means that it's time for it to grow and evolve, just like we do. Our creations are living, breathing energies - just like we are.
In this episode I share why the podcast is changing, why it can be so difficult to complete something like this, as well as what's next.
On the eve of the New Moon in Taurus, I invite you to look at what's ready to come to completion in your life, and then set intentions on the New Moon for things you'd like to create and manifest in your life around all the Taurus themes like beauty, material comfort, being more grounded, and sensuality.

I have a fabulous guest on today’s episode. I connected with Vanja Banks through my karmic astrology mentor and past guest on the podcast, Vika Bradford. As Vanja says, she’s a healer who brings the cosmos down to Earth. (Be sure to read to the bottom because Vanja is offering my listeners some very generous discounts on her products and services 💖)
I had a very unique astrology reading with Vanja that we talk about on the episode. It was so insightful that I knew I wanted to share her and her gifts with all of you. Vanja is a beautiful example of looking at what we loved In childhood or our early years and finding our purpose and passion so we can live them throughout our lives. In this episode we covered a variety of topics, including:
✨ Bridging physical and emotional healing
✨ Where she looked for connection and spirituality in her early life
✨ What led to her love of plants and astrology (you’ll love this combination and what she’s created from it!)
✨ How she connected with her inner child and did the healing work she didn’t know she needed
✨ How learning to live by the Moon helped her heal imbalances in her life
✨ What a progressed Moon is and how it affects us
✨ What our Moon sign represents and how we can use that information on our healing journey
✨ Using herbal tea as a self-care and healing tool - even in a bath!
✨ Where to look to create rituals to help you heal
✨ Using the four elements for healing (my workshop, Illuminate Your Healing Codes will show you which elements you’re designed to work with)
✨ Examples of rituals you can easily incorporate into your life to help you heal
✨ Using the phases of the Moon on your healing journey (there are apps you can use to track this so you don’t need to know how to look it up!)
✨ How Vanja creates Astro Reiki experiences specific to each client - this is fascinating and very unique!
✨ The insights I had in the Soul Map reading I had with Vanja
✨ Why we are not victims of life and life’s circumstances and how astrology can help empower us to make more informed choices
Vanja is a Trauma-Informed Spiritual Astrologer, Reiki (Level 2) Practitioner, 200hr Yoga Teacher, and Herbalist, operating on the belief that everything is energy.
She applies her learned experience & wisdom to restore energetic harmony and promote holistic healing by helping others cultivate a deep connection to their authentic Self.
Having grown up in war-torn Yugoslavia and immigrating to Canada at the age of 10, Vanja's path has been one of unlearning & healing trauma to find her way back to her authenticity, power, and passions.
As a generational cycle breaker, healer and teacher, she works intimately with clients & shares her wisdom through courses to help them reclaim lost parts of themselves, step into their power, and follow their own path, free of societal conditioning and familial patterns.

If you've ever looked at your birth chart, it can be overwhelming with all the symbols, colors, and lines! And yet, everything on it has deep significance for us, including when we're on a healing journey.
I've talked in many episodes about the Full Moons and New Moons in various signs. I've talked about the planets in various signs. But there's another layer that's specific to each person, and that's the areas of life represented by the astrological Houses.
As always, I make this understandable and relatable for you. Each House represents a different area of life, and each one tells us something about ourselves based on the sign that's in the House, as well as the planets and other placements in each House, if any.

You are in for a real treat with today's guest, Stephen Panus. He's a husband, father, bereaved father, and so much more. He wrote an amazing book that comes out on April 16, 2024, "Walk On." This is not your typical story of child loss. Stephen shares bits of his son, Jake's, tragic passing in August 2020, but he also weaves in the story of how he's keeping Jake's legacy alive as well as incredible quotes and spirituality in a way that is very unique. This book isn't only for bereaved parents. This book is for everyone on the journey of life because there is wisdom and nuggets for everyone.
In our conversation, we talked about a lot of the quotes and inspiration in the book, and so much more.
Stephen's book will be featured as Good Morning America's "Buzz Pick" on Saturday, April 20th! I highly encourage you to get a copy of "Walk On." You can thank me later 😊
You can connect with Stephen on his website or on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

Are you ready? We're on the brink of one of the biggest cosmic events of the year, the Total New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries. It offers so many possibilities, and in this episode I highlight the many gifts this fated event is bringing to us.
There's so much available during this time! I also got a little emotional and vulnerable at one point which isn't easy for me, but the conversation called for it - and I decided not to edit it out.
I also gave you many questions to sit with and journal on during this Eclipse. Whether you're in the path of the Eclipse or not, the energies will be felt around the globe.

NOTE: I apologize for the quality of the recording. My Internet connection wasn't great during parts of it, but I promise you'll receive the fullness of the message in spite of the tech issues!
Do you feel the shift in energy? If you're highly sensitive like I am, you're definitely feeling it. There's always so much energy from the Universe affecting us at all times, but certain times it's more potent than others. The Equinox is one, and we're on the brink of the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. In this episode, I help you navigate the energies we're experience and offer some reflective questions to help you prepare for the new astrological year which begins on the Equinox, March 19th (or 20th depending on where you are in the world).

It's time for the last lunar event of the current astrological year, and it's one for tapping into our dreams and desires, creating the template of our lives for the upcoming astrological year.
Just as people tend to do in December of each year, the New Moon in Pisces offers us the opportunity to unlock our dreams for the upcoming year of our lives. Pisces energy helps us connect to our intuition, to our dream and desires in the deepest way before we emerge into the energies of Spring (or Autumn if you're in the Southern Hemisphere).
When we connect with our dreams and desires, we have so much more control over our lives than we think we do. In this episode, I share a process with you as well as some deep questions for reflection during this New Moon.
I also share what the energies of Saturn and Uranus bring to this particular New Moon and how we can utilize that in unlocking our dreams.
And I share why this is NOT the time to take action - this is such an important part of this conversation.

This episode of Grief With Grace is magical, mystical, and holds so much power, all brought through my amazing friend, Haumea Hanakahi. Haumea was a guest in Episodes 96 and 97, so be sure to listen to those after this one for more of her wisdom and insights. We did have a couple of tech glitches during the interview, but we discussed the deeper meaning of those so I’m leaving most of them in.
We talked about the energetics and healing we all have access to through dragons. As with all things metaphysical, you don’t have to believe in dragons (or astrology or energy healing) for it to work in your life.
Haumea and I explored so much in this conversation and I had an entire bullet point list, and it disappeared! I think the Dragons want you to receive what's right for you in the moment by listening for yourself. Let the magic and healing powers they embody flow through you, and see what awarenesses come through.
Be sure not to miss the calming dragon breath exercise the dragons gave us near the end. It's powerful!

After an unexpected (and unplanned!) break throughout most of January (I explain why in this episode), I'm excited to be back right in time for the New Moon in Aquarius, the first New Moon since my friend, Pluto, moved into Aquarius.
While I was on my unexpected hiatus, I received a couple of really good questions from listeners that I wanted to share with all of you because I feel they'll help all of us (myself included!) understand some of the things I've been talking about in a different way. I love answering your questions, so send yours to info@lorilatimer.com and your question just might be featured the next time I do these.
The evening of January 20, 2024, the small but mighty planet, Pluto, joined the Sun at 0 degrees of Aquarius. How's everyone been feeling since then? Even if you don't know anything about astrology, you're likely to have felt, or will be feeling the effects of this shift. Our world is going to change dramatically over the next 20 years while Pluto is in Aquarius, and it's going to affect all of us.
This week we have the first New Moon since Pluto made it's move, and it's the New Moon in Aquarius. Listen in as I share some thoughts, insights and journal questions that will help you begin to create a solid foundation for your life.

We're more than two weeks into the new year, and people have already given up on their Resolutions - if they even set them to begin with. Can you relate? That used to be me. Until I created a different way of stepping into a New Year.
In this episode, I share what I do instead of setting Resolutions, and how you can, too. I also share why resolutions don't usually work for women, but what does. I also share why the old model of setting resolutions is so detrimental for women on a healing journey.

The first New Moon of 2024 is upon us - and it calls for something different than other New Moons! In this episode I explain why, and why this is the time to create your 2024 vision and intentions. I also share:
As we navigate the energies of the New Moon in Capricorn and Pluto's final few days in Capricorn until later in 2024, remember that these cosmic influences are opportunities for growth and empowerment. Embrace the transformative energies, set realistic goals, and trust the process of change.

I'm excited to share something new I'm going to do in 2024. I'm going to do quarterly highlights of what's coming up in the cosmos for the upcoming quarter. This episode will focus on the first quarter of 2024. Near the end of March I'll do another one for the second quarter of 2024, and so on.
I hope these episodes will help you deepen your understanding into what's going on energetically that will affect all of us on a collective level. As I explain in this episode, we're each impacted personally depending on our own birth chart too. But since I can't look at everyone's individual birth chart, I'll focus on what I feel are the main astrological events in the upcoming quarter and how they'll affect us as a collective.
In this episode I talked about three main events happening in the first quarter of 2024:
Pluto moves out of Capricorn and into Aquarius again on January 20th or 21st, depending on where you are in the world. Pluto first made this move last March, but it only stayed a couple of months before it retrograded back into Capricorn. It will spend most of 2024 in Aquarius, with one last retrograde back into Capricorn from September 1 through November 19, before moving back into Aquarius where it will stay until 2043. I share a lot about the themes of Pluto and Aquarius and what I feel is possible over the next 20 years based on what happened the last time Pluto was in Aquarius back in the 1700s!
Chiron, known as the Wounded Healer, is going to be joining up with the North Node (where we're headed and being called toward) in the sign of Aries. I share the healing opportunities for us when this shift occurs in February.
The first eclipse of the year happens on March 25th. It's a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Libra. This Eclipse invites us to reassess the give and take in our relationships, and to look at what's ready to come to a conclusion within our relationships. It will be visible over the majority of the world, so it will be an impactful event.
So far what I'm feeling for 2024 - and beyond with Pluto in Aquarius - is that we're going to be guided to taking back our personal power after giving it away to governments, corporations, and other institutions for centuries. I explain why in this episode.
My intention in doing these quarterly forecasts for you is for you to have a frame of reference of what's happening in the Universe so that when things happen in your own life, you can see if there's any connection. Knowing this information for myself in 2023 helped me move through some very challenging times with a different understanding than I would have without it.

I hope you enjoy these! I'll always explain it in a way that's understandable even if you know nothing about astrology, but if you ever have any questions, you can always email me at info@lorilatimer.com. I love having email exchanges with you and am always grateful when you reach out.
Wishing you a beautiful 2024!

Here we are, at the dawn of a brand new year, at least as far as the Gregorian calendar goes.
Each week on my Facebook page I do a Monday Messages card reading. On the first of each month, I do a card reading for that particular month. For this month, I did a card reading for 2024. Each card represents a theme or focus. I thought it would be nice to share as a podcast episode for all of you!
Here's what each card represents:
Card #1: Theme for 2024
Card #2: What do you need to be open to?
Card #3: What's blocking you?
Card #4: Guidance/insights for your next steps
Card #5: What action do you need to take this year?
If you'd like to see the actual cards, you can go to the Grief With Grace Podcast Facebook page here.
I hope you enjoy this! If you do, be sure to "Like" the Facebook page so you can join us each Monday for the card readings.

As the end of another (calendar) year draws to a close, my invitation to you is to ask yourself "How will I choose to complete this year"?
How you choose to do anything sets the tone for what's to come.
In this episode, I share how I'll be spending the rest of this year - and why. And I invite you to consider how you'll choose to spend the rest of the year - and why.
So often at the end of the year we're so busy... but do we stop to consider why? What are we avoiding through all the busyness?
This year, Mercury will be retrograde from December 13th through January 1st, so it's even more important that we slow down and reflect.
I wish you all a peaceful holiday season. If you're on a healing path, be extra gentle with yourself. I'll be back after the New Year with a brand new episode, and some changes to the podcast!

I've had so many beautiful comments and email exchanges about the topic of my little miniseries about finding your unique healing path, and some great questions have come up. One question in particular has been a theme that I wanted to delve more deeply into in this short episode. What does it mean to embody your healing?
In this episode I talk about what it means to truly embody your healing, and how that relates to our healing journeys. If you've ever heard of or read the book, The Secret, I share what was missing from that book and how it relates to the topic of embodiment.

Do you ever look at others who are on a healing journey and wonder why they seem to be further along, enjoying life, not stuck or struggling like you are? What are they doing that you aren't? Do they have some "secret" that you don't know about? I've wondered all those things at various points on my healing journey, and I was curious to discover the answers.
In this week's episode, I share with you 3 of the reasons (because there are many!) you might feel stuck on your healing journey.

Do you ever wonder why some people seem to have a more difficult time healing from trauma and loss than others? Maybe you're one of them. Others seem to heal at a more rapid rate and/or turn their pain into something meaningful. And yet, we all seem to take a step or two back at various points along our healing journeys.
After being thrown back a few steps myself this year, I started looking into why we all heal at different rates and in different ways. In my exploration, I discovered that we each have unique healing codes which are imprinted on our at the moment of our birth.
In this episode I share more about why we each heal differently, why some things work for some of us but not others, and so much more.
If you are on any kind of healing journey (from experiences in this life, in past lives, or things inherited through your lineage), I invite you to join me in a special virtual workshop I'm hosting on December 1, 2023, "Illuminate Your Healing Codes." You can learn more and sign up here. Along with the live workshop, you'll also receive the recording and a beautiful PDF workbook that you can download and print or fill in on your computer.

Welcome to Libra season! My Moon is in Libra, my brother is a Libra Sun, and my best friend of 50 years is a Libra Sun. Let's just say I'm very familiar with this energy!
Navigating my own grief journey filled with pain I didn't know was possible, and working with other women walking similar paths, I've come to realize that far too often we get stuck in the pain and turn our backs on even the possibility of pleasure in life. Sometimes we're aware that we're stuck in our pain, but more often it's something we aren't aware of.
In this week's episode, I share why it's so important to find harmony between the two very real human emotions of pleasure and pain. Libra carries the energies of balance and harmony (among others). The planet Venus rules the sign of Libra, and Venus brings beauty, love, values, and pleasure (among others) to us.
Both pleasure and pain are necessary, and allowing ourselves to find harmony between the two is an important component of our healing journeys.
I went a little edgier in this episode, and I hope you listen with an open heart. I share some intriguing journal questions and invite you to work with them at any time of the year.

The energy has felt very heavy recently, but we might feel some relief as we head into a new Season!
In a few days we have a New Moon in Virgo, Mercury is about to go direct again, Venus went direct a few days ago, Jupiter just went Retrograde, and we're on the brink of the Autumnal Equinox (or the Spring Equinox for those in the Southern Hemisphere). That's a lot of shifting energies, and in this episode I dive into what it all means and how we can use it on our healing journeys.
As we set our intentions during the upcoming New Moon in Virgo, I invite you to reflect on where you are, and where you desire to journey next in your life and in your healing in order to reclaim your sovereignty. In this episode (whether you're listening at the time it's recorded or at any point later on), I share some very practical yet powerful things you can do to align with your values, your desires, and your intentions by utilizing all the energies from the celestial realms.

As we head into the proverbial dog days of Summer, the Sun just entered the healing sign of Virgo, Mercury is Retrograde, and there's a Super Full Blue Moon in Pisces coming up. That's a lot of cosmic energy, and it all holds so much healing potential, if we're willing to let the Full Moon illuminate the dark places we often don't want to look into.
But if we don't, we're forever caught in cycles of trauma, victimhood, lower level energies, disease, and so much more. And who wants that?
Unfortunately, on a subconscious level, many people do. So let's peer into the dark places and see what's ready to be revealed, released, and realigned so we can live into our fullest potential.
In this episode I share very vulnerably about how my life has gotten off court the past few years in ways I didn't realize until recently, and how I'm coming back into realignment in many areas of my life, how I'm doing it, and how you can do it using the current cosmic energies. If you're listening to this after the end of August 2023, this can still apply and you can still do all the things I share in here because these things are practical and timeless.

What do authenticity and integrity have to do with the New Moon in Leo? Listen in to find out how you can move forward on your healing journey by integrating these values in your life, whether you do it during this New Moon or anytime.
So many people are living out of alignment with their values and Soul path. We all do it, but by becoming aware of how it shows up in your life helps you shift back into alignment. This episode will break it all down, including some of the many reasons we do it, how we do it, and what we can do when we find ourselves doing it.
As always, I share this from a vulnerable place and acknowledge I fall into this at times as well. Becoming aware of it helps shift and realign who we are at Soul level. And isn't that why we're all really here?

There's a lot happening in the cosmos right now, and it's lighting me up! I hope that after listening to this episode, you'll work with some or all of it to help you on your healing journey.
There are so many misconceptions about retrogrades, yet they always hold possibilities for healing. And the Super Full Moon in Aquarius, during Venus retrograde, is ready to shine a light on everything Venus-related that's ready to be shifted, reevaluated, and/or released. In this episode, I break it all down:
I also pulled a card to represent this current period in time and it was such a perfect message for us!

Can you bring both passion and balance into your life when you're on a healing journey? In this Cosmic Connection episode, we're talking about using the energies of the New Moon in Cancer and the movement of the Lunar Nodes (or Nodes of Fate) from Taurus and Scorpio into Aries and Libra. This movement is a big deal. If you don't know what the Lunar Nodes are, listen in as I explain them and what their movement means.
Everything that happens in the Universe affects us collectively as well as individually. The Nodes move signs about once every 18 months, and knowing the energies we'll be experiencing can help us navigate the next 18 months on our healing journeys. If you've felt stuck on your healing journey over the past 18 months, that's about to shift as the North Node moves out of the fixed sign of Taurus and into the fiery sign of Aries.
I also share some journal questions to help you move through the watery, emotional New Moon in Cancer. Grab a journal, a cool glass of water, and join me in this episode.

In 2010, Suzanne Falter left her 25 year marriage, moved from upstate New York to San Francisco, and experienced major life changes. The most traumatic was the sudden death of her 22-year old daughter, Teal, in 2012. Suzanne then went on a journey to heal and to become a healer with Teal's help from Spirit. This conversation will inspire you on your own healing journey. We talked about:

I'm back with a brand new episode to help you navigate the energies of Cancer Season and the upcoming Full Moon in Capricorn.
The Solstices a week ago were a celebration of Light in the Northern Hemisphere and a descent into the Dark Night of the Soul in the Southern Hemisphere. We also stepped into Cancer Season, which brings with it the watery, emotional feels and opportunities for healing areas of family, home, the Mother wound, our ancestral lineage, and so much more.
The upcoming Full Moon in Capricorn illuminates the areas of our lives where we're being invited to release what no longer serves us, and where we need to strengthen our foundation and structures that will hold the watery energy of Cancer.
Be sure to listen in to hear all the journal questions you can work with during Cancer Season and the Full Moon energies!

Suzanne Anderson was living the happiest phase of her life when tragedy struck in January of 2013. Her beloved husband, David, had chosen to end his life. With it, life as Suzanne knew it ended as well.
Suzanne is vulnerable and authentic in our conversation. She's the author of the soon to be released book, You Make Your Way By Walking.

It feels sooooo good to be back after my month off in April! However, my break was nothing that I envisioned. But listening to my intuition and taking a break in April may just have saved my sanity and my life. Listen in to hear what I'm doing to navigate being in the messy middle of a life crisis and how you can use the same things when you find yourself in the messy middle of a life crisis. Because, let's face it, we all go through them throughout our lives. I also share why we must honor both our human and spiritual experience when we go through a crisis, or, as I'm in right now, a dark night of the Soul.
These times in life aren't easy or pleasant. But having a foundation to stand on will help you navigate it in a way that will support you and others in your life.

It seems that the Universe really, really wants us to wake up and pay attention right now. Two weeks ago Saturn moved into Pisces. A few days ago we celebrated the return of Spring (or Fall) with the Equinox and a new cycle with the beginning of Aries Season. And, that's not all the Universe has for us.
The day this episode is released, March 23, 2023 (3/23/23 - who can make that up?!) marks the movement of the small but mighty planet, Pluto, out of Capricorn and into Aquarius.
All the planetary movements affect each of us individually as well as collectively. In this episode (which is important and relevant for the next 20 years while Pluto moves through Aquarius) reflects on what we've experienced while Pluto has been in Capricorn and gives you a glimpse into some of what we might experience as it moves into and through Aquarius.
Highlights:
Aquarius is the rebel that likes to break the Matrix, so the next 20 years will be an adventure no one alive today has experienced!

New beginnings. New energies. New seasons. It's the beginning of a new astrological year, a new cycle. How can we use the fresh new energies of Spring (or Fall depending where you are) on our healing journeys? In this episode, I take you through a process to help you take the dreams and visions you created during Pisces season and begin implementing them and taking the steps to turn them into reality.
We also have the New Moon in Aries today, so it's a very potent time to set intentions, create your dreams and visions if you didn't do it over the past month, and find the first step toward your dreams and visions.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the leader. It's time for you to become the leader in your own life, on your healing journey. In this episode, I offer you some guidance on how you can bring passion to your dreams - and the one question to ask as we move into these new energies.
If you come across this episode long after it's released, I invite you to listen in anyway! It's never too late because the energies are always available to us. Start where you are. Like Aries, just start.

The Sun has officially moved in the dreamy, intuitive sign of Pisces and we're about to experience the New Moon in Pisces, so let's start dreaming!
Do you "downsize" your dreams? Many of us do, and it's time to change that. We can't move forward on our healing journeys, actively co-creating our lives unless we dream big. And Pisces season is the time to do that. It's the last sign of the Zodiac, so it's time to wrap up the past year and dream our way into the next.
In this episode, I share more about:

Ah February, the month of love, right? If you're like most women, you easily give love to others in your life. We've been taught that it's selfless to put others before ourselves. But when you're healing from trauma and loss, that can really sabotage our healing.
In this episode, I share some insights and deep journaling questions that can help you cultivate a new level of self-love.

Feeling a little rebellious? Crave freedom in life? Never quite feel like you fit in? That's the Aquarius energy in you! We all have it and we're all affected by it, just like with all the signs of the Zodiac. Aquarius loves to innovate. It's the visionary. And, it's iconic.
As we step into Aquarius Season and the New Moon in Aquarius is upon us, in this episode I share more of what makes Aquarius unique, and how we can use these energies on our healing journey. If you've felt off, or slow, or sluggish the past few weeks, you'll likely begin to notice you feel more inspired and motivated. Listen in to find out why. I also share some deep journal questions for you to use anytime, but especially right now as we're bathed in the energies of the Water Bearer.

I was inspired to do a short episode as I was sitting in my car waiting for my grandson this morning. I wasn't sure the audio quality would be great on my phone, but voila!
I know many of us feel the heaviness of the holidays when we're healing from trauma and loss. But this year it was particularly heavy thanks to Mars being retrograde since late October.
Mars is the planet of things like drive, passion, will power and motivation. When he goes retrograde, all those energies slow down too. So if you've been feeling lethargic, unmotivated, frustrated, or just stuck, know that you aren't alone.
The good news is that Mars is starting to slowly move forward again (as of January 12th), so things will pick up. I created this bonus episode to share the one thing you MUST do on your healing journey that's tied into the energy of Mars.

Goals? Resolutions? Intentions? We seem to begin a new year filled with hope and possibility, but it quickly fades.

HINT: You can do this anytime throughout the year so no matter when you come across this episode, you can use this process.
I also talk about the current cosmic energies that might make you take a pause on setting goals, resolutions and intentions right away in this New Year.

Each month on my Facebook page, I do an energy reading for the upcoming month using using oracle cards. I thought it would be different to turn the reading for December 2022 into a podcast episode. I hope you enjoy this! The first card represents the theme for the month, and the other 4 cards all represent other energies or places of focus for the month.
To view the cards, go to my Facebook page, find the video I posted on December 1st, and the cards are posted in the Comments below that video.
My intention is for you to use the messages on the cards to help you navigate the month. It's especially important in December because it's such a tender month for many people with the holidays and end of the year approaching.

Are you living by default, simply going through the motions and accepting whatever happens in life? Most people do, and I was one of them - until I wasn't willing to settle anymore. In this episode, I share one of the main ways I completely shifted my life after leaving my marriage in 2008.
I didn't realize it on a conscious level, but I co-created my life in a very specific way, and I share my process in this episode. This is a powerful process that helped me create a life I absolutely loved before my son went to Spirit in 2019, and it's part of what helped me heal at a quantum level after that. It's a big part of how I continue to grow and evolve, both as a human and as a Soul.
As we approach the end of another year, it's time to look toward our healing journey over the next 12 months. Will you settle for whatever happens, always reacting to life? Or will you choose to co-create your next 12 months with your Higher Self assisting you?
I would be honored to guide you through this process during a year-ahead energetic reading. In this reading, I'll connect with your energy to see what energetic theme is waiting for you in 2023, as well as an energetic theme for each month of the year.
If you'd like to co-create your next 12 months, I have something special for you. For the first 7 people who sign up for my year-ahead energy reading, you'll receive a savings of $111 off the regular investment of $333. Click here to schedule your reading.

Olivia Myles was a young mother with two little boys when the unimaginable happened in 2007. Her little 2 year old son, Josiah, drown. Olivia had to continue being a wife as well as a Mom to her 3-year-old son.
It can be very enticing to stay stuck in our stories and feel sorry for ourselves, pulling others into our stories with us. But Olivia finally had enough of that, and once she did, her real healing began. Olivia is a beautiful woman with a powerful story of love, heartache, healing, and finding purpose in all of it.

Karen Castilon and I connected over two years ago through the common experience of losing our sons to Fentanyl poisoning. She was a guest in Episode 17 where she shared Josh’s story, and the power of art and creativity in healing. She’s the first guest I’ve brought back for a second time, and our intention is that this conversation will open your curiosity about the role perfectionism plays in our lives, and our healing.
You can join the Be True To You virtual summit happening October 10-14, 2022 with Karen, myself, and a group of 25 amazing speakers - at no cost.
If you missed Part 1 of my interview with Vika Bradford, be sure to listen to Episode 117 before this one so you have all of her wisdom from Part 1.
In Part 2, Vika shares more about some of the many things our natal chart can reveal to us, especially related to trauma and loss we may experience over the course of our lives.
Vika also looked at several things in my chart and my late son’s chart as a way to demonstrate the lessons and Soul contracts we came to this life with to showcase what can be revealed in a reading.
As you’ll hear in this episode, there is SO MUCH to learn from our Natal Chart. I highly encourage you to schedule a reading with Vika. She offers different readings on her website, so choose the one (or ones) that speak to you with where you currently are. I recently had a Past Life & Purpose reading as well as a Wild Woman reading, and what was revealed both confirmed things as well as made me curious about others.
And be sure to look into her Dark Moon Collective monthly membership on her website, and connect with her on Instagram.
You may have heard of Soul Contracts, but did you know that you also have a Soul Signature? My guest today is a beautiful Soul who shares the journey that led her from depression and suicidal thoughts at a very young age (pre-teenage years) to healing and understanding layers of herself through her Soul Signature. Vika Bradford is an energy healer, astrology practitioner, yoga teacher, and cosmic shaman whose work is deep and powerful. In this episode, Vika shares:
This is a rich and deep conversation, and this is only Part 1! Be sure to come back next week for Part 2 where we'll continue the journey with Vika.

The planet Mars moved into the Zodiac sign of Gemini on August 20, 2022, and it will stay there until March 25, 2023. What does that mean on our healing journeys? Tune into this bonus episode to find out!
Mars is the planet of action, motivation, and inspiration. Gemini loves to learn and communicate. This powerful duo brings us a beautiful opportunity to take big, bold leaps in our healing.
If you've been thinking about starting your own spiritual podcast, listen to the very end of the episode where I share a special opportunity!
What do you do when you keep repeating the same patterns over and over again? Some people never realize they're doing it, so they keep repeating them - and then wonder why their lives aren't what they want. Others, like my guest on this episode, stop, pause, and look at their part in the patterns. And then they do the deep healing work.
Christine Jewell realized she repeated patterns in two-year cycles. When she'd had enough of those cycles, she went inward and discovered the part she played in the cycles she'd experienced. As you listen to this episode, I invite you to see where you're repeating patterns in your life. Christine shares very openly about her journey, including:

My September calendar is open for Illumination Readings. Books yours here to discover what your Soul knows you're ready for.
PTSD is a term some people throw around lightly. I studied it in depth when I majored in Psychology in college. Many people associate it with the after affects of war, but it can happen to people who have suffered other traumas as well, including sexual trauma and unexpected loss. One is not "better" or "worse" than another. PTSD can present in many different ways.
This week's guest is on a lifelong journey with PTSD after serving in the United States Army after 9/11. Doing two tours of duty in Iraq, she experienced things most of us never will. Her courage and resilience is inspiring. In this episode, she shares from a very vulnerable space about her experience during her time in the Army and her life since then.
You can find Heather on Facebook and on her website.
Every loss is hard... indescribably hard. Zoya Bokhoor experienced the loss of her beloved husband, and two years later, her precious son. She found herself and her purpose through the tragedy and heartbreak. In this episode we talked about:

So many women are turning to ceremonies and rituals in ways we haven't for centuries. This week's guest and her sister have created a beautiful company to support anyone looking for a unique way to honor a loved one in Spirit, whether the loss is recent or long past.
Jess Wertz, and her sister Amanda Wertz McClellan founded Spirit Vessel. Jess and I had a magical conversation and covered so many things about the beauty they've brought to a topic people frequently ignore, until they're faced with the most difficult of life's decisions. In this episode, Jess and I talk about:

Ahh.... can you feel the shift? With the current New Moon in Gemini, we have officially completed the recent Eclipse Season. The energies have been very intense, but Gemini is here to lighten things up for us.

This week, we’re picking up with where we left off with the amazing Sarah Wallace and the Enneagram types. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of our conversation yet, I invite you to go listen to episode 106, and then come back to this one so you’ll have the fullness of Sarah’s beauty and wisdom around the Enneagram, types 1-4 which we covered last week, and how each of those 4 might process trauma and grief.If you already listened to Part 1, then you’re ready to step into the magic that awaits for types 5-9.
You’ll also hear which type I most closely align with, and which type Sarah most closely aligns with!
You can find Sarah on her website and on Instagram. And be sure to listen to her podcast, Enneagram MBA on all the podcast apps.
If you’d like to learn more about the Enneagram and take an assessment to see which type you're most closely aligned with, Sarah recommends the website Personality Path.
Do you know your "type?" I discovered the Enneagram several years ago and was curious about how each Enneagram type processes grief. In this week's episode, my beautiful guest, Sarah Wallace, shares some insights into each Enneagram type in general, and how each type might express grief. We talked about:
Sarah and I could have talked for hours about this fascinating topic! Be sure to come back next week for Part 2, where Sarah and I will pick up with where we left off.
Be sure to listen to Sarah's wonderful podcast, Enneagram MBA (available on all the podcast apps), as well as her website, Instagram and LinkedIn pages.

We're entering a very powerful portal of energy with the upcoming Blood Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio. Listen in to learn how to use these energies on your healing journey.
I also shared a powerful journal question you can use to guide you over the next week.
Share your insights and what you're releasing with me on my Instagram page or my Facebook page.
If you're interested in an Illumination Reading, I'm offering a 20% discount through May 31, 2022. Click here to schedule yours. An Illumination reading can let you know if you're on path after completing and releasing what comes up over the Blood Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.
Does the word "selfish" trigger you? It does a lot of people, especially women. We'd rather be seen as the martyr than being selfish.
In this week's episode, I share the theme that's been coming up in some recent Illumination sessions. Listen in to learn:
In celebration of Mother's Day this month, through May 31, 2022, you can receive a full Illumination reading for 20% off the regular investment. Click here to book your session, but be sure to do it before May 31st (you can schedule the reading after May 31st but it must be scheduled and paid for before May 31st).
Can you feel the shift in energy? The Sun has moved out of fiery Aries and into the slower, more grounded sign of Taurus. It's Spring (or Fall depending on where you live), and the weather is more moderate, calling us outside to soak up the energies of Mother Earth. And, we're about to enter Eclipse Season. There's so much going on cosmically and energetically, and it can all help us on our healing journey, if we're aware of it and work with it.
In this week's episode:
What if there was a place we could journey to where your Soul could give you insight and guidance to the questions you have about your life, your life's path, your experiences, your next steps, and so much more? There is, and in this week's episode, I share some of the magic of the Akashic Records with you.
The Records are not to be accessed randomly. This is deeply sacred work and needs to be honored as such. When done from that energy, the healing that's possible is truly next level.
If you're ready for your own Illumination reading with me, email info@lorilatimer.com to get on my calendar. These readings have the potential to shift your life and your healing at quantum levels!
Do you feel off in your life, but you can't quite put your finger on it? That's where I was when I left my last marriage in 2008. When things seemed like they were "off" again the first part of this year, I went back to some of the things I did in 2008 to come back into alignment. In today's episode I share a powerful exercise I did that will help you if you're feeling out of alignment in your own life.
In this episode I share:

Either way, there's a renewed sense of balance and harmony as we're experiencing almost equal amounts of day and night, light and dark.
We've also just left Pisces season and have entered Aries season. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so it's the astrological New Year, filled with so much potential for healing and growth.
In this episode, I break it all down and share how you can use all these gorgeous energies to support you over the next six months until the next Equinox. Spend time reflecting on where you are as well as where you want to be in six months. Honor both the light and the dark within you.

We left off last week with Haumea talking about the importance of getting into our bodies, especially as women.

The past two years have thrown the world in a state of collective fear, trauma, and grief. With the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, that cycle is continuing.
This week I'm joined by a very special lady who happens to be one of my closest and dearest friends. I first met Haumea Hanakahi over 10 years ago when we were in an online program together. We later met in person at a live event and have since traveled to some of the most beautiful places in the world together.
Haumea is a highly gifted psychic, intuitive, and mystic. Her passion is evolving consciousness on Earth and helping to make the invisible… visible. She can be found geeking out on discovering the higher spiritual workings of Creation and bridging Science and Spirit.
I asked Haumea to lend her wisdom and insights into the topic of fear, trauma, and healing in today's world. She's been on her own healing journey for the past 29 years. In this episode, we covered so much that I broke it up into two episodes - so be sure to come back for Part 2 next week!
In Part 1, we talk about:
You can learn more about this magical woman here. Next week she'll share a very special opportunity as well as more of her incredible wisdom.

I hope you'll immerse yourself in these beautiful energies and allow them to support your healing.

Our society is uncomfortable with the emotions of grief and trauma, so we often hide them. We use a variety of ways to avoid facing them and healing them. Here's some of what I share in this episode

In 2008 when I left my last marriage, I realized I needed to make some big changes in my life so I didn’t continue repeating patterns that didn’t serve me. Long before the “word of the year” was a thing on the Internet, I began creating a Theme for my life for the upcoming year. In this episode, I take you through the process I’ve used since the end of 2008 to reflect on the year that’s ending, and intentionally create what I want in my life in the upcoming year. This is the process that helped me create a life I loved for several years, before my son went to Spirit in 2019 and Covid changed life in 2020. It’s also the process I’ve used to heal on a quantum level since Greg left this life.
I created a beautiful PDF to assist you in this process. If you aren’t on my email list, send me an email at info@lorilatimer.com and I’ll personally send you the PDF. If you are on my email list at the time this episode goes live in December 2021, you’ll automatically receive the guide in my weekly newsletter.This process is timeless. You can use it at the end of any year, or at any time during the year. It’s lovely to do it on your birthday, or any other significant day throughout the year.I’d love to hear how this process is for you. Screenshot this episode and post it to your IG or Facebook stories, and tag me in it so I’ll get a notification. Or send me an email and let me know. I wish you a peace-filled New Year
My guest this week has a different type of grief story. Brandon Wainwright is an animal lover, a police officer, and a Reiki practitioner. He lives with his wife, daughter, two dogs, and a chinchilla in the San Francisco Bay area, although they’re moving less than a week from when this episode is released. Brandon wrote a wonderful book, Tyson’s Gift, after the passing of their family dog, Tyson. The book follows the story of Tyson and their family, the impact Tyson had on Brandon while Tyson was in this life, and the spiritual awakening Brandon had after Tyson went to Spirit.
I know a lot of my listeners are animal lovers just like I am. Animals are Souls just like we are, and the impact they have on our lives is immeasurable. The gifts that Tyson brought to Brandon and his family live on. I highly encourage you to get a copy of this book. I cried through a lot of it because Brandon lets you feel as if you know Tyson on an intimate level. The story of his healing through his spiritual awakening is really special, and Tyson clearly orchestrated that.
Be sure to visit Brandon's website, and pick up a copy of his book, Tyson's Gift, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores (or directly from his website).
The holidays bring up so many emotions when we someone close to us has gone to Spirit. As I was meditating on what to share in this year's holiday episode, I kept hearing that I should use the episode from 2020 because the ideas shared in that episode are timeless. I added something new in the beginning and at the end, and I did a lot of editing. So even if you listened to the episode last year, I invite you to listen again this year because you'll hear something new, or you'll hear something in a different way than you did last year.
In this episode I shared:
I'd love to hear what you're going to do to honor yourself, your child, or other loved one during this tender season. Email me or post on Instagram.

This was a fun interview, but one where we also went very deep. I did some business coaching with Melissa about a year ago after finding her podcast. Melissa is a beautiful Soul with a different type of grief journey. She’s a Mom who went through a divorce a few years ago which is a grief journey of its own. Then, a couple of years ago, her former husband, her children’s father, left this life of his own choosing. Listen in as Melissa explains how she got that news, where she was, who was with her at the time, and so much more, including:

Moving is one of life’s greatest stressors. Add on moving out of a home you lived in when you experienced great trauma or loss, and the stress can be off the charts. In today’s episode, I offer you some tips that will assist you not only with moving, but with any life changes after great trauma or loss.
I still have a few spots available for complimentary calls during October 2021, so if you're interested, send me an email at info@lorilatimer.com. I'd love to support you!
After my month-long hiatus, I'm back with a different type of episode. A few months ago I was interviewed by the delightful, Shelby Rose, on her podcast "Raise Your Vibration" and I wanted to share that interview with all of you. Shelby mainly works with female business owners, but she's also on her own healing journey, so she understands my work at a deep level. In my interview, we talked about:
Be sure to give Shelby's podcast a listen - she's a beautiful Soul with so much wisdom and has helped me shift my energy in my business this year.
No matter how far along we are on your grief and healing journey, global tragedies have a profound effect on us. With the recent events in Afghanistan, I wanted to offer some guidance on how you can support yourself during times like these. Even if you listen to this episode long after September 2021, these tips can assist you.
I also announced that I'm taking a break from releasing new episodes over the month of September 2021, and I explained why. I may pop up with a couple of surprises during that time, and I'll be back in a few weeks.

In Episode 69 (my interview with Scott Howard), I said that publishing that episode was an "edge" for me. I had several email and social media messages from listeners asking what I meant by that. In this episode, I break that down and share:
A few months ago I asked listeners to send me any questions they have around grief, healing, or anything spiritual. I’ve had some beautiful questions come in, and in this episode I share my thoughts and insights into them. I love hearing your questions because it helps me create new content for you. So, please keep the questions coming! In this episode I answered questions about:

Music can uplift us. It can comfort us. It can bring tears of joy and tears of sadness. It’s connected to some of our most cherished and profound memories. And, it can help us heal.
Scott Howard left corporate America to write, produce and sing a unique form of music using the frequency of 432 Hz, which is the frequency for healing. Little did he know that a few short years later, that music would help him on his own healing journey when his 29-year old son unexpectedly went to Spirit.
From his paranormal experiences to the healing potential of music at the correct frequency, join Scott and me for a fascinating conversation where we talked about:
Scott gifted us by playing a beautiful song, Illusions of Life, on the episode. Please support Scott and his music by going to www.ScottHowardMusic.comto see the photos he talks about throughout the episode and to and experience his beautiful music! You can also find him on Instagram.
In this bonus episode, I'm diving into all the incredible cosmic energies that are available to us right now as we're in the midst of the Lion's Gate Portal and the New Moon in Leo is a few days away.

I'd love to hear the intentions you set for the New Moon period - email them to me at info@lorilatimer.com!
One of the things I love is doing my oracle card Monday Messages readings on my Grief With Grace Podcast page on Facebook. Last week I noticed a theme had been coming up in many of the cards over the past month or so that inspired this week’s episode.
Forgiveness can be so hard when we’ve experienced trauma or great loss. And yet, it’s often the key that unlocks the door to deeper healing on a Soul level. In this episode I share:
I have 6 spots open for free exploration calls with me in August 2021. If you’d like to secure one, email me at info@lorilatimer.com to see if any are available. These calls are powerful and many women have experienced amazing shifts on these complimentary calls. If it’s after August 2021, email me to see if I have any space available.
While every human being has both masculine and feminine energies inside of them, we're usually out of alignment between them. Most women lead with our masculine energy, and our feminine energy is often forgotten, or it's a sad afterthought. When we bring these two beautiful energies into alignment, they can help us on our healing journey. In this episode, I talk about:

In this special bonus episode, I talk about:
Enjoy this special episode!
I’ve noticed a pattern in the grief and trauma community where women are pushing back against their healing. They aren’t doing it intentionally, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it. It's very subtle, and not obvious to most people In this episode I go into so much around this, including:
What do you do to love on yourself? Find me on Facebook or IG and let me know!If you haven’t received a copy of my free guide, 4 Steps to Connect with Your Higher Self & Loved Ones In Spirit, click here to get your copy.

Masks are all the rage these days - just one short year ago we never would have imagined what a hot topic they would become. However, most people wear another kind of mask, one that’s invisible. And that’s what this episode is about.
We wear a mask in front of others, and almost everyone wears one on social media. Men, women, children, adults, teens, we all wear invisible masks at times. In this episode, I uncover:
If you're ready to take off your mask and would like some help navigating that experience, reach out to me on IG or email me at info@lorilatimer.com to schedule a free discovery call. I'm opening up space on my calendar and would love to help you on this journey.
I have another bonus episode for you on this New Moon In Cancer! The energies right now are really intense. But even if you're listening to this long after this cosmic event, the information and questions I invite you to journal on can always be applied. This is especially helpful if you're highly sensitive and/or an empath. I hope you enjoy and have a deeper understanding of what you may be experiencing after listening.

Today’s guest is another amazing woman I connected with over a decade ago through social media. Tricia Dycka has been an amazing friend on my journey, and she’s an incredible coach to empaths. So many women have their empathic and intuitive gifts open up after trauma or loss. In this episode (with an all new intro!), we chat about:
You can connect with Tricia on Facebook or Instagram or you can email her at tricia@triciadycka.com.
Woo hoo! We're celebrating a milestone on today's episode. One year ago today my little podcast was born! Thank you for supporting me and what I'm doing. It means the world to me.
In today's episode, I share some changes that are coming to the podcast, things I didn't envision when I launched this a year ago, but which have happened organically. I'm excited to step into year 2 and see where it goes.
I also talked about choosing the legacy you're leaving - and living. Listen in as I dive into:

In part 3 of the four-part series on supporting the 4 Pillars of Wellness (and Healing) as a gateway to connecting to your child or other loved one in Spirit, and to your Higher Self and your intuition, we dive into the emotional realm. Many people mistakenly believe that our mental and emotional health are one in the same - but they aren’t! Each one is very separate and distinct. In this episode, I break that down and talk about:
If you’d like to book a free discovery call with me to see if I can help you shift out of being stuck on your healing journey, email me at info@lorilatimer.com.
And be sure to listen to Episode 5 where I did a complete overview of the 4 Pillars of Wellness (and Healing).
This is part 2 of my 4 part series on supporting the 4 Pillars of Wellness I talk about in my free guide, 4 Steps to Connect With Your Child (or other loved ones) In Spirit (get your copy here). Last week in Episode 55, I talked about the importance of our physical wellness. This week, we’re talking about mastering our mind and supporting our mental wellness.
Depression, anxiety and other mental health issues are real, and they’re very common among grieving Moms and others on a grief and healing journey. Supporting our physical health will help us support our mental health for many reasons. In this episode, I talk about:
Be sure to listen to next week’s episode for part 3 of my 4 part series - it’s probably my favorite pillar and the one that’s helped my clients and me the most on our healing journeys.
In Episode 5, I talked about the 4 Pillars of Wellness that supported me so well after my son left this life. In this first of a four part series, I share with you my own health journey and dive into why supporting your physical health when you're grieving is so critical.
Be sure to get your copy of my Fr*e guide, 4 Steps To Connect With Your Child In Heaven. It will help you as you listen to this four-part series.
All 4 of the Pillars of Wellness are necessary for optimal health and for helping us connect with our children in Spirit. They want to connect with us! But we have to meet them part way.
In this episode, I dive into my own health journey, and what I had done before my son went to Heaven that has helped me navigate my grief journey in a way that honors his life and legacy, and allows me to help others on their grief journey.
The shifts I made in my life, and that I encourage you to make, are simple - but they aren't necessarily easy. Yet, as with everything, we have a choice.
If you want to connect with your child (or other loved ones) in Spirit, strengthening your physical health is the first step.
**Tender days… milestones in your life or the life of your child or other loved ones in Spirit can be an opportunity for reflection. In this episode, I reflect back on how my life has changed since my son, Greg’s, high school graduation day (13 years ago on the date of this recording). I also share some upcoming changes I’m making in my life in about three months, and how God/Spirit/the Universe validated the choice I’m making a few days ago. It’s fascinating to watch these things happen when we’re awake and tuned into the magic of life!
In this episode, I share:**
Be sure to stop by my Instagram page or my Grief With Grace Podcast page on Facebook and share with me how you’re going to choose to pause this week!
This episode is heavy, but it’s a topic that needs to be brought out into the Light.
An alarming number of bereaved Moms have recently made the choice to leave this life by their own hand. I’m a bereaved Mom, so I understand the feelings of pain, hopelessness, despair, and so much more.
In this episode, I share my own moment of just not wanting to be here anymore, and how I picked myself up off the floor and chose to honor my life, my children, my grandchildren, and my Soul.
These are the conversations that make us uncomfortable. The conversations we avoid. The conversations that are kept hush-hush. But they’re the conversations that just might help someone know that they still matter (whether they’re a bereaved parent or anyone else).

This is a really fun and enlightening conversation with my friend, Shelly Wilson. We met 9 years ago when we were both vendors at a metaphysical event in Atlanta. She’s played a significant role in my life since then.
In this episode, we talk about so many things, including:
Shelly is an incredibly gifted intuitive medium, and this episode will inspire you and give you hope that your child or other loved ones ARE with us every day. They're still part of our lives, and Shelly shares many examples of they way do it.
You can connect with Shelly on her website, Facebook, or Instagram.
This is a special bonus episode to honor all the bereaved Moms this Mother's Day.
From my heart to yours, my wish is that this will bring you a sense of peace and solace to your tender heart.
We made it to Episode 50!! Listen in as I share why this seemed so far out of reach for me when I first got the nudge to start a podcast.
In honor of reaching 50 episodes, I did something different and special this week. I did an oracle card reading to bring us messages from our loved ones in Spirit.
If you don’t know what oracle cards are, listen in as I explain the difference between Tarot and oracle cards, and then do a reading for the month of May 2021. But don’t worry - even if you’re listening long after May of 2021, the messages still apply and are for you if you’ve found your way here.
Be sure to come over to the Grief With Grace Podcast Facebook page where I do Monday Message readings each Monday.
Spiritual what?? Dark Nights of the what?? I’m going deep into topics I love in this week’s episode! If you haven’t heard of these, if you’re skeptical, or if you think I’ve lost my mind, good!. I invite you to keep an open mind and heart. Take what resonates; leave the rest. I’ve said that for years to my clients when I was teaching about feminine energy and healing, and it applies here as well. Then, listen in as I go deep into:

So many people live on autopilot, simply going through the motions of life. I did until I left my last marriage in 2008. While I still find myself slipping into autopilot mode once in a while, I know how to shift out of it. Creating rituals has helped me turn boring routines into self-honoring rituals that have supported me on my healing journey. In this episode I share:
Be sure to get a copy of my complimentary guide, 4 Steps To Connect With Your Child (or other loved one) In Spirit. It's filled with rituals you can incorporate into your daily life that will support you on your healing journey.
I see so much pain, despair, and hopelessness in bereaved Mom groups - and in other groups of grieving people. I’ve seen it for years in my work as a family law paralegal.

Some of what Jackie and I talk about is dark and might not be easy to listen to. But if you’re a bereaved Mom, you’ll understand. I think that at some point every bereaved Mom has thought she wants to be done with this life so she can be with her child in Spirit. And we have them more than once. I know I have. Let me be very clear: except in very rare cases, that does not mean we’re suicidal. But that’s the reality of this journey. We want to be here with our loved ones, and we want to be with our loved ones in Spirit. I’m grateful that Jackie was so open and vulnerable about her own dark night of the Soul and how she rose from that place that, as I said, we all go to on this journey.
Jacqueline’s son, Mario, went to Spirit in 2015 at the age of 22. At her lowest point, a yoga class helped her rise from her grief and connect with her son in a truly magical way. In this episode we talk about:
You can find Jackie on her Facebook page.
I became a fan from the moment I first met Bonnie Ross-Parker at a networking event in Atlanta 8 or 9 years ago. This woman is a powerhouse with a gentle heart for service. Little did we know that we would become forever connected through the grief of losing our precious sons. Bonnie’s son, Glenn, passed away early the morning of the Haiti earthquake in 2010. She has been one of my fiercest supporters, both before Greg left this life and now that we’re on this path together. I’m honored she spent some time chatting with me for this episode.

I know how hard it can be to find a reason to get up and participate in life after you’ve experienced a great loss. And yet, our Souls didn’t come here to simply exist and sit on the sidelines of life! Yes, it’s hard to continue living after great loss. In this week’s episode I give you some insights into:
If you’d like more information about finding out what your Soul came here to specialize in, email me at info@lorilatimer.com for more information and to see if I have any spots remaining this month.I talked about Soul Contracts in Episode 3 which can be found here.
I’m so excited about this week’s podcast because I’m bringing you another male perspective to the conversation around grief. As the mother of sons and grandmother to grandsons, I happen to love and adore men. And from my research, conversations, and experience, men are taught even less about grief, and expressing their feelings in general, than women are. Today, we’re going to talk with a bereaved father, Jim Mueller, who channeled his grief into a beautiful book called “Lyrics Of A Broken Heart.”
Be sure to pick up a copy of Jim's book on Amazon or your local bookstore.
And please come over and give my Facebook page, Grief With Grace Podcast, a Like! I do weekly card readings on Mondays and will be sharing other things on that page.
I know some of you, if you’re a bereaved Mom, may listen to parts of this episode and think “oh but that’s different because she, Dara, hasn’t lost a child and that’s different.” Yes, it is different, And… I’d invite you to listen to the wisdom we can all learn from loss and grief of different types. I also invite you, if you haven’t yet, to go listen to Episode 36 about honoring other people’s grief and pain.
You can find Dara on Facebook, Instagram, and her website. Her books are available on Amazon. Please stop by her social media pages and let her know what touched you from our conversation.

A few weeks after the birth of her first daughter, Dara’s Mother passed away after a battle with cancer. This loss, and the loss of her grandmothers, was so painful that for decades she was afraid to re-read their letters to her. Meanwhile, she went on with her life as a wife and mother - and cancer survivor. Listen in as we talk about:
Be sure to come back next week for Part 2 of this beautiful conversation. You can learn more about Dara and her journey here.

Grief is ever-evolving, ever-changing. And, it’s always with us. When you’ve experienced a deep loss, there is no endpoint to the grief. There are times it consumes you, and there are times it’s a bit softer. It can sneak up on you when you least expect it. It can threaten to pull you under. In this episode I share :

Whew - we made it through 2020! If this was your first set of holidays without your child or other loved one in this physical life, give yourself a big hug. It’s a milestone that needs to be acknowledged. Far too often we don’t acknowledge our growth and milestones.
What I’ve learned over the past 13 years is that just because the date changes on the calendar, nothing is different in life unless and until we choose for things to be different.
As 2020 came to a close, I wrote up a list of 7 things I learned in 2020 that I want to carry forward on my 2021 healing journey. In this episode, I shared that list and hope you’ll find inspiration in what I learned so you can create your 2021 healing journey in a way that supports you in your growth and healing.
Please be sure to visit my Facebook page and let me know what lessons you learned in 2020 that will assist you in your healing journey in 2021!

2020 has been a wild ride, hasn’t it? We’ve all been affected not only by our own grief, but by the collective grief of the world as a whole this year. Whether your child went to Spirit this year, or another loved one, or the way of life that made you feel somewhat safe, we’re all grieving.
As the end of 2020 draws near, we naturally look forward to 2021. Due to the ongoing Covid situation, there’s more uncertainty going into 2021 than probably any other year in our lifetimes. And yet, we still get to choose who we want to be and what we want to experience in 2021.
In this episode, I share:

It isn’t uncommon for people to fall into states of depression around the holidays. Add in deep grief, and it’s easy to find yourself in a dark place.

Self-care is more than just a buzzword. It’s also often an uncomfortable idea to many women. It brings up all of our self-worth issues and limiting beliefs about what we deserve. When we’re dealing with grief, guilt, and simply trying to survive, it’s often not even on our radar.

The holidays pose unique challenges for grieving parents.
Do you celebrate or do you ignore it all? If you celebrate, how do you celebrate? How do you honor your child in your celebrations?
In this episode, I offer some insights and ideas for honoring your grief as you navigate the holidays, regardless of which holidays you celebrate and regardless of how long it's been since your child went to Spirit. You get to choose if, and how, you celebrate. Just as grief is different for everyone, how you choose to navigate the holiday season will be different as well.
Some the things to consider:

“The new normal” is a catch phrase many people throw around, particularly in 2020. For grieving Moms, it doesn’t always sit well. What does that phrase really even mean?
Listen in as I explain why life is anything but “normal” when you have a child in Spirit, and why the whole notion of a “new normal” is really a myth. I also share what one Mom, who has 3 children in Spirit, recently told me about how she feels about “normal” after a child goes to Spirit.
In some recent conversations with other grieving Moms, we talked about some of the things people say to us that hurt or anger us. They come up a lot in Facebook groups. So I thought I’d take some of them on, and offer some suggested reframes for them.
When we have a child in Spirit, our nerves and emotions are fragile. Just one word can cut us to our core. But are people usually doing this intentionally?
Listen in for the comments and questions I found upset Moms the most, and my retakes on them. There’s one I just couldn’t find a reframe for, so if you come up with something, let me know!
I’ve updated my free checklist for grieving Moms. If you haven’t received your copy yet, click here to enter your name and email address and I’ll send it right away.

How do you grieve with love? In this episode, my friend Jonathon Aslay and I break that down. When we met in 2009, we each had two sons. We had no idea that 10 years later, we’d each have one son in Heaven. Jonathon’s son, Connor, left this life six months before my son, Greg, did.
Jonathon is the author of two books, Understand Men Now, and his most recent book, What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway.
Jonathon has a huge heart and a witty sense of humor. Both have served him well on his own grief journey the past two years, and both were on full display in this episode where we talked about:
Jonathon also shares his story of his use of drugs and alcohol after his divorce, and how the self-development practices he implemented to rise out of that assisted him when Connor passed away.
Be sure to visit Jonathon’s website here and on YouTube.
Have you ever felt like you’ll never feel happy again after your child left this life? Or that you don’t deserve to feel happy? Or you feel guilty when you do feel a moment of happiness?
Happiness can seem elusive, or self-indulgent, after we’ve experienced a great loss. And yet, it’s one of the basic human emotions that we’re here to experience. Cutting ourselves off from happiness or any other emotion in an effort to punish ourselves causes more anguish than we might already be experiencing.
Expecting to be happy all the time at any point in our lives is unrealistic. After experiencing the death of a child, happiness is going to look different than it did before. We have to redefine what happiness looks like for us to be able to experience it when we do encounter it so we don’t push it away.One of the things grieving Moms say they most want is to connect with their child in Spirit. To do that, we have to raise our vibration. Allowing ourselves to experience the higher vibrational emotions such as happiness is one of the quickest ways to raise our vibration, and make that connection with our child.In this episode, I share a simple journaling exercise to help you redefine happiness.
Be sure to share what brings you happiness on my Grief With Grace Facebook page here.
“What goes around, comes around.”
“Karma’s a bi*ch.”
Poor karma. It really does get a bad wrap. It’s so misunderstood and blamed for so many things.In this week’s episode, I break down exactly what karma is and what it isn’t. I also share:

Wouldn't it be nice if the world stopped when we’re thrown into the abyss of grief? We all know it doesn't and even in the midst of our grief, we're often faced with seemingly endless challenges. So how do we find compassion when things spin out of our control? How do we find grace and compassion in those times? I dive into that in this episode.
I also shared about my upcoming 5-week virtual journey, Transmuting Emotions. You can find all the details and enrollment information here. This journey will enhance other grief and healing work you’ve done, so I hope you’ll join me. I’m keeping this group small, so sign up today while space is available. We begin on October 12, 2020.
From corporate career to Happiness Coach to Compassionate Bereavement Care provider, Karen Castilon has been through many transitions in her life.
**Karen’s oldest son, Josh, left this life in 2014. She talks about the guilt her family experienced after Josh’s transition and the words she heard the night he transitioned.
Talking with Karen was like having a conversation with myself. We share many of the same beliefs about life, death and grief.**

So many of you emailed or messaged me on social media about last week’s episode and how helpful you found it. One question asked about breaking down the concept of grief. This episode does that in a way I hope will help you shift your thinking around it.
I give you an analogy that has helped my clients look at grief in a new way. I also used another analogy to talk about the different emotions of grief and how they shift and change. And I share with you the antidote to grief. The overall theme for you to take away is it’s the small shifts that help you on this journey. There is no one big magic wand anyone can wave to change things. But one shift builds on the one before, and the one before that, and so on.
**I also share more information about the free masterclass I’m hosting on Thursday, September 24th. I’ll be sharing the top 3 emotions of grief that keep us stuck and how to shift them.
The Masterclass will be held via Zoom beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. PT. Click here to sign up and you’ll get all the details.**
We all experience trauma. It can occur at any age, during our birth, while we’re in our Mother’s womb, or in past lives. And it comes in many shapes, forms and experiences.

**Trauma, like grief, comes in many forms. There’s a level of trauma a parent experiences when their child leaves this life, whether the passing is expected or not. Most people aren’t aware of that, even when they’re living it. The trauma journey is as unique for each person as is the grief journey.

This special episode is dedicated to my late friend, Taire.
**In the intro episode to this podcast, I talked about grief being like an unwanted dance partner that we all tango with at various times throughout our lives. Today, grief unexpectedly took my hand for yet another spin around the dance floor.
The death of my high school friend to Covid-19 hit me hard for many reasons. Sitting in it, I realized that it’s yet another layer of grief for me to process. In this episode I share:**
Thank you for listening to this special episode.

**This episode is a little longer, but I promise you it’s worth listening to in full!
I first met Tara Mariino online in late 2010. At that time, I had no idea how our paths would end up being similar in so many ways. At first, I was drawn to Tara’s grace, beauty, elegance, and essence.**
**As I learned Tara’s story of grief and loss, and saw the beautiful life she created from that space, I was inspired and touched. She became my mentor and I went on to work with her at a very high level in her Creme program. Never did I dream that I’d end up on the same path of child loss that Tara has been traveling for over 18 years. When I found myself on that path, Tara was one of my biggest sources of support and inspiration in a new way. She continues to inspire me.
I hope our conversation will inspire you. This is probably the most real, raw and vulnerable interview I’ve done so far, and perhaps that I’ll ever do because of my close connection with Tara. I’m deeply honored that she took the time to do this for me, and for you.**

**This episode was requested by several listeners. When one of our children goes to Heaven, life becomes surreal. We fall down a rabbit hole of grief. But many of us have other living children, so how do we continue to parent them and help them navigate their grief when we're trying to figure out how to navigate our own?
In this episode I offer some tips and tools to help children of various ages. I cover:**

Grace. It’s such a soothing word, isn’t it? The idea of Grace kept coming up for me early on in my grief and healing journey after my son’s unexpected transition. It was almost as if Grace was pulling me toward it, and I simply surrendered to it. Grace assisted me in the first year of my healing and it can help you as well, no matter where you are on your journey. To my delight and amazement, Grace helped me connect with my son in the first hours and days of his passing. In this episode, I’ll share with you:

This is a concept that was foreign to me when I first heard about it after my Mom’s passing in 2014. The more I studied it, the more I understood how all of our experiences in life are all pre-planned. Do I like it? Not always. Certainly not as a Mom whose son left this life way too soon.

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Grief With Grace podcast! In this episode, I’ll take you behind the scenes of who I am and how this podcast was born. From family law paralegal to intuitive strategist and grief partner, we’ll dive into my intentions for this podcast and the path that brought me here. I want you to know that if you’ve experienced the deep, profound grief of losing a child, there is hope, healing, and continued living to be found. I’ve done it, I’ve helped others through it, and it’s what helped me make it through the first year after my son, Greg crossed the Veil.

Christine Salter is a former postal worker turned psychic medium. I met Christine the summer after Greg crossed the Veil and have taken a few courses with her. While Christine is a Mom, she doesn’t have any children in Spirit. She’ll explain how she came to work with parents with children in Spirit and teaching them how to connect with their children directly, without using a medium. She shares a free resource that will help you begin to connect with your child (or any loved one) in Spirit on your own, without using a Medium.
We’ll share with you my experience connecting with some of her deceased relatives, an ability I never thought I had! Christine is so relatable and we covered a wide range of topics including:
**Oh, and her Grandma’s red shoes - you don’t want to miss that!
