Grief With Grace: Recent Episodes

Lori Latimer

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.

The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you’re just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.

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.

🔑 What You'll Learn:

  • Why God used a serpent to bring healing—and what that means for your pain
  • How a donkey saw what a prophet couldn’t, and how God still uses unexpected voices
  • What the oracles in Numbers teach us about discernment, especially compared to New Age "oracle" practices
  • Why even spiritually gifted people can lead others into deception
  • How to recognize when God is opening your eyes—and how to respond in obedience

Be sure to share this episode with a friend who’s navigating spiritual confusion, wrestling with truth, or unsure if God is still speaking to her.

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:

  • Why grief feels different depending on the loss
  • How spiritual bypassing in the New Age can numb real sorrow
  • What the Bible says about mourning, comfort, and eternity
  • Stories of Biblical women who experienced profound loss
  • How God wastes no tear—even when we’ve walked through grief without Him

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:

  • Feel worn down by independence masquerading as empowerment
  • Have questioned feminism but don’t know what comes next
  • Have walked through self-led spirituality and felt its quiet cost
  • Long for rest, clarity, and truth without pressure or performance

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:

  • Heal themselves
  • Empower themselves
  • Lead themselves
  • Save themselves

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:

  • Why 2 Timothy is the perfect closing message for the end of the year
  • The difference between spiritual performance and spiritual endurance
  • What it means to share God's Word even if no one seems to be listening
  • The dangers of “ear-tickling” messages in New Age and modern spirituality
  • How to live out a legacy of quiet, generational faith like Lois and Eunice
  • Why finishing your race matters more than how perfectly you started it

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:

  • Reclaim your sacred ground
  • Offer God your “small oil” when it feels like you have nothing left
  • Become a vessel of His light instead of trying to perform for approval
  • Let go of spiritual counterfeits and rededicate your soul to God

If this episode helped you rededicate part of your life to God or see Hanukkah in a whole new light, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick review? Your reviews help The Illuminated Woman podcast reach more women who are ready to reclaim truth and walk in holy clarity.

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.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Why sound doctrine is an act of love
  • What modesty truly means (hint: it’s about the posture of your heart, not just your clothing)
  • The seductive influence of the Artemis cult in Ephesus — and its eerie parallels with modern-day feminine “spirituality”
  • Why “good works” don’t earn you salvation but reveal who you're walking with
  • What Biblical leadership really looks like — even if you're never on a stage
  • How sincere women are the backbone of the church — not just the ones with microphones
  • Why intercession matters and how to stand in the gap through prayer
  • A redemptive reframing of passages often used to silence or shame women

Note I misspoke at one point. I referenced 1 Timothy 3:13 when I meant to reference 1 Timothy 3:15.

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:

  • Why Proverbs 18:1 is a powerful warning about isolation disguised as empowerment
  • How many women unknowingly give away their voice inside so-called sisterhood circles
  • The Stepford Wives effect: why everyone starts sounding, dressing, and thinking the same
  • Why these groups lead to spiritual and relational isolation—even from family and friends
  • What Biblical sisterhood actually looks like, and how it sharpens instead of silences
  • My personal story of how I felt shaky and lost after leaving these groups
  • A prayer and reflection for reclaiming your God-given voice and community
  • Some journal questions to help you if you've been in - or are still in - these spaces

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:

  • The real difference between Biblical gratitude and New Age gratitude
  • How gratitude journals and affirmations can become a form of striving
  • Why gratitude without God becomes another version of self-help performance
  • The Scriptural truth that gratitude is worship, not a manifestation tool
  • How to tell the difference between thankfulness and gratitude
  • What appreciation looks like when it points back to the Giver
  • Practical ways to live with gratitude as a daily act of faith

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…

  • I returned to church for the first time in years and finally found rest
  • Karmic astrology and Akashic Records are crutches that excuse sin
  • I was legally blind—and how walking by faith helped me truly see
  • My finances improved when I stopped spending on spiritual striving and seeking... but never finding
  • My legal work now flows with ease because I’m grateful, not resentful
  • The podcast has shifted from performance to purpose—serving women who are waking up to deception and longing for truth

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

The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you.

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:

  • What Mark 16:14–18 really says—and why it’s often misused
  • Who the seventy-two disciples were in Luke 10 and what their assignment reveals
  • How spiritual performance often masquerades as “power” in modern ministries
  • The psychological and emotional factors behind group deliverance sessions
  • Why repeated “deliverance” sessions may actually point to deception, not freedom
  • What the Bible actually tells believers to do instead of casting out demons
  • How true freedom is found in daily surrender—not weekly manifestations

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.

I’d love to hear what’s on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you’re sensing God may be stirring in you.

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:

  • The difference between reinvention and resurrection
  • How New Age mentors distort the idea of “rising” and “rebirth”
  • Why true transformation requires death to self before new life in Christ
  • How to let God fill the empty spaces instead of rushing to “manifest” something new
  • What it means to be clothed in Christ — compassion, humility, gentleness, and peace
  • How to live for Heaven’s applause instead of the world’s approval

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.

🕊️ What We Cover:

  • The seductive appeal of goddess culture and soft spiritual language
  • What Colossians 2:23 really says about “the appearance of wisdom”
  • How New Age and self-help repackage pride as “activation,” “alignment,” and “ascension”
  • Why “feminine spirituality” without Christ is still idolatry
  • What it means to be truly filled in Christ
  • The difference between aesthetic curation and true sanctification
  • How to walk in spiritual discernment and die to self daily

🎧 Listen in if you've ever:

  • Felt drawn to beautiful rituals or divine feminine teachings
  • Been told you need to “ascend” or “activate” spiritually
  • Followed spiritual mentors who now claim they're no longer performing
  • Felt spiritually empty despite doing “all the right things”
  • Wondered why aesthetic spirituality still leaves you searching for more
  • Wanted Biblical clarity on how to walk away from deception and into truth

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.

  • How Jane Roberts’ Seth and Esther Hicks’ Abraham shaped modern New Age teachings
  • Why women are especially vulnerable to channeling and “false light” spirituality

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.

🔍 What We Cover in This Episode:

  • What karmic astrology is and why it feels so appealing
  • The spiritual deception hidden in Pluto, the 8th house, and the Nodes
  • How astrology leads women away from the Bible and into idol worship
  • Why karmic language excuses sin and delays repentance
  • The seductive pull of goddess worship and archetypes like Lilith
  • What Romans 1:25 reveals about worshiping creation instead of the Creator
  • How to break free from the astrology cycle and walk in God’s truth

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:

When the world turned away, the women stayed. Mark 15–16 tells the story of women who witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion, stood near His tomb, and became the first to hear the good news of the resurrection. In this episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, we explore how their story speaks to women today—reminding us that even in silent seasons, our faith matters, our voice matters, and our hope is anchored in the risen Christ.

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

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why the women at the tomb mattered in a culture that silenced them
  • How Silent Saturday reminds us that waiting isn’t wasted
  • Why faith doesn’t have to be flawless to be faithful
  • What Mark 15–16 reveals about resurrection hope for the modern woman

Join me as we learn about the women God trusted with the most important message in history.

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:

  • Why women are tempted to idolize eclipses and other cosmic signs
  • How New Age and wellness culture use eclipses as “empowerment rituals”
  • What the Bible really says about eclipses
  • The difference between chasing signs in the sky vs. trusting the God of heaven
  • How to stop chasing shadows and start chasing the true Light

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:

  • Why Jeremiah 47:6–7 matters right now and how it illustrates God’s Word as a sword that cannot rest
  • How tragedy can stir revival, awakening boldness in people who once stayed silent
  • Why lukewarm faith isn’t enough in today’s world — and how Revelation 3:15–16 warns against it
  • How Esther’s courage speaks directly to women today
  • Practical ways to pair boldness with wisdom, so your words carry both courage and grace
  • What it means to count the cost of speaking truth in a culture that resists it

🌿 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?

In this powerful episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, I'll share my own journey from karmic astrology, past-life regressions, and ancestral “healing” practices into the truth of God’s Word. You’ll discover what Scripture actually says about generational consequences — and the greater truth that obedience brings blessing, and Christ has already broken every curse.

This is the freedom the New Age can never offer.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why New Age practices around generational trauma and curses keep women in cycles of striving
  • What Jeremiah 35 reveals about obedience, faithfulness, and generational blessing
  • How Exodus 20:5–6, Deuteronomy 7:9, and Ezekiel 18 clarify God’s view of generational consequences
  • The ultimate breakthrough in Galatians 3:13 — Christ Himself became the curse for us
  • Encouragement for women who feel “too far gone” or worry their lineage is doomed

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:

  • The Biblical roles of Gabriel and Michael versus how the New Age rebranded them
  • Why Raphael is not the “healing angel” — and how Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, holds that title alone
  • How Uriel and other “archangels” came from occult writings, not Scripture
  • Why angels are servants, not saviors — and how Satan counterfeits light to pull women away from God

Angels are real, but they were never meant to replace God. Listen in and discover the truth about these spiritual beings, so you can stay rooted in faith and free from deception.

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:

  • The New Age view of reincarnation and why it feels comforting at first — especially for those seeking meaning in suffering
  • The key Bible verses that refute past lives, including Hebrews 9:27 and 2 Corinthians 5:8
  • How reincarnation delays salvation and shifts the focus from Christ’s finished work to our own spiritual “progress”
  • The Biblical promise of the resurrection of the body — a one-time, eternal event that points to Christ’s victory over death

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.

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:

  • What Jesus really meant when He said “Judge not” and how it applies to your life today
  • The Biblical difference between judgment, condemnation, and discernment
  • Why holding fellow believers accountable is an act of love, not hate
  • The eternal cost of staying silent when someone you love is living in deception

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 episode, I share:

  • How Hagar’s story in Genesis 16 and 21 mirrors our modern-day wilderness seasons
  • Why being stripped of status and striving is often where true faith begins
  • What it means to be seen, sustained, and sent—even when you feel invisible
  • A reminder that provision may already be near—you just need God to open your eyes to see it

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about what it’s looked like to step away from striving and surrender to a slower, more sacred pace of life. After years of building a new age business, working as a paralegal, navigating deep grief, and trying to make sense of it all, I’ve found myself in a wilderness season. And instead of resisting it, I’m learning to receive it.

If you’re burned out, soul-weary, or unsure of your place in this season—you’re not alone. This episode is for the woman who’s quietly unraveling, not because she’s failed, but because she’s being refined.

In this episode, I share:

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

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.

Are you tired of striving to attract, align, and manifest your desires? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, we take a sacred pause and unpack the powerful difference between New Age manifestation and Biblical provision.

If you've ever been caught in the exhausting loop of vision boards, affirmations, and “high-vibe” pressure, this episode offers a breath of fresh truth and holy rest.

We’ll explore how God’s provision invites you to release control, surrender your desires, and trust in the One who sees your needs before you speak them.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • Why manifestation places you at the center—and how that leads to spiritual burnout
  • What Biblical provision actually means (and how to recognize it in your life)
  • The root of exhaustion in the New Age “you create your reality” mindset
  • How to move from performance to peace through trust in God’s timing and care

Tune in now and discover the rest you were created for—not through striving, but through surrender.

  • The spiritual burden modern women carry in the name of healing, worth, and feminine embodiment
  • How the rise of astrology, rituals, and divine feminine teachings mirror ancient Babylon—just with a prettier filter

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.

In this episode, you’ll learn

  • The core difference between New Thought and New Age—and why they often blur together
  • How Napoleon Hill and other “thought leaders” built a spiritual empire on manipulation and mysticism

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.

Inside this episode, we’ll cover:

  • The difference between performance and presence in your walk with God
  • What the Bible says about relationship over ritual
  • Why “church” is not a building, but the people of God
  • How New Age spirituality can become another exhausting system of self-salvation
  • Steps to begin rebuilding a personal, intimate relationship with God — starting today

If you’ve been burned by religion or left exhausted by endless striving, it’s time to come home.

God isn’t asking for your perfection — He’s inviting you into real connection.

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.

Listen in to hear:

  • How my legal blindness became a catalyst for real spiritual awakening
  • What it means to be spiritually blind, even when you're “seeking the light”
  • How God used physical blindness to remove spiritual blinders
  • Why light without Biblical truth is actually deception
  • Encouragement for women walking through their own seasons of darkness

This testimony isn’t just about physical healing—it’s about the redemptive power of God to restore what was truly lost: spiritual sight. If you’re walking through a dark season or questioning everything you thought was true, this episode will remind you that what feels like a setback might just be God’s setup for your transformation.

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

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on the healing hamster wheel, this episode is for you. It’s time to step off and reclaim your power.

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.

So many of us have been conditioned to value discipline, but what happens when it becomes mechanical, draining, or disconnected from our hearts? What if, instead of forcing ourselves to “stick to the plan,” we allowed devotion to lead the way?

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.

In this episode we explore:

  • The key differences between discipline and devotion in spiritual practice
  • How discipline can become rigid, mechanical, and disconnected from the heart
  • Why devotion is infused with reverence, love, and desire—and how to cultivate it
  • The balance of masculine (structure) and feminine (flow) energies in spiritual practice
  • How to transform routines into meaningful rituals
  • Practical ways to shift from obligation to devotion in daily life

Be sure to listen to the end for some reflection questions you can journal on.

When I began my online business journey over a decade ago, I got caught up in following people who appeared to have all the answers. I thought they knew more than I did. And while they did have more knowledge and experience in certain areas than I did, many of them wanted to be put on a pedestal, like an object to be adored and admired. There are some who still do, and it's time to have a conversation about that. As an Illuminated Woman, you don't need a guru, but we can all use a guide on our journey. In this episode, I share:

  • The concept of a guru
  • Why we seek out a "guru"
  • How we outsource our power to others - and the danger in that
  • The purpose of a guide
  • How we can work with a guide
  • Areas where I gave my power away to "gurus" in the past - and how I stepped away from that
  • How you can reclaim your own "inner guru"

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.

Episode Highlights:

  • The importance of morning rituals
  • The beauty of nourishing morning rituals
  • Listening to your body’s wisdom
  • How following your intuition can help you create the perfect morning for you
  • Practical tips for crafting your morning ritual
  • Benefits of a nourishing morning ritual:

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.

While ending Grief With Grace is truly bittersweet, I'm so excited to birth the new podcast and share it with you! Stay tuned ✨

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.

  • The dual meaning of "Walk On"
  • How Stephen moved from survival to finding meaning after his son's passing
  • The first time he felt joy after Jake's passing
  • How Stephen is helping to pass the baton to other young men and women in Jake's honor
  • Various signs he's received from Jake (some of these are very unique!)
  • How he was inspired by the life of Viktor Frankl
  • The qualities we need to source from within when we go through life-changing experiences
  • How finding Gratitude, Grit and Grace helped him on his healing path
  • The concept of "Vigilant Mercy" and how it impacted his marriage
  • How he found his purpose after Jake's passing
  • The difference in how he and his wife have grieved Jake's passing

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.

  • Why this New Moon Solar Eclipse brings even more new possibilities than other New Moons
  • What we're being asked to look at during this Eclipse
  • Why this is such a big cosmic wake up call for us here on Earth
  • How complacency has become an epidemic in society - and how this Eclipse might shake us out of it
  • Where you might be looking that's keeping you from moving forward on your Soul's journey
  • The karmic points this Eclipse is aligned with
  • How Mercury Retrograde is supporting us during this pivotal time
  • The energies that Aries is bringing to this Eclipse
  • Why I don't set intentions on a New Moon Solar Eclipse

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.

Welcome to Eclipse Season! Eclipses have so much potential for healing, if we're aware of the possibilities and the energies of each specific Eclipse. In this episode, I share what's possible with the upcoming Full Moon Lunar Eclipse happening in the sign of Libra.

✨ Which energies are impacted by the upcoming Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
✨ The area of life to pay attention to for cosmic insights into what's ready to be released, reevaluated, or renegotiated
✨ What Eclipses shake up - and why not every Eclipse impacts us individually
✨ The patterns to look for during this Eclipse

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).

  • How the Equinox offers us an energetic reset to come back to a place of equilibrium
  • The "new year" energies as we step into Aries Season
  • Finding more balance on our healing journeys
  • How we can begin to manifest the dreams we created in Pisces Season into reality through action during Aries Season (be sure to listen to Episode 167 to learn more about creating your dreams and desires for the next astrological year)
  • Where some of our old wounding may be revealed
  • Where we may feel a sense of frustration during this Equinox
  • Where we have an opportunity to step away from the hivemind mentality
  • Where our unique, individual ideas might be pointing us - and what wound(s) need to be healed on that journey
  • Why we're being invited to release a layer (or layers) of our identity, and how to allow that to be revealed to you
  • The "shadow period" we've just entered and how to work with that

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.

Fasten your seatbelts and place your trays in their upright and locked position - we are entering Eclipse Season!

Yes, the portal to the first Eclipse Season of 2024 has opened, and there's a lot of potent energy right now. In this episode, I break it all down:

  • What the Full Moon in Virgo illuminates for us
  • The Archetype and energies of Virgo
  • Why this Full Moon is so potent and significant
  • The importance of reviewing our daily routines and rituals - are they nourishing us or depleting us?
  • How Mercury plays a part in the current cosmic energies
  • The mythology of Chiron, the wounded healer
  • Things we should do during Pisces Season to prepare for Aries Season
  • Where we can find our greatest opportunities for karmic healing
  • How the North Node guides and directs us on an individual and collective level
  • Why we must do our own healing work before we can help heal the collective in any meaningful manner

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:

  • How the planet Pluto is making this New Moon different, and powerful
  • How Capricorn helps us build our legacy
  • How Saturn influences this New Moon
  • Why we should do more than set intentions on this New Moon
  • How Uranus and the North Node are impacting this New Moon
  • Pluto in Capricorn: A long-term transit that began in 2008, influencing societal structures, power dynamics, and exposing hidden truths

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.

And please join me on January 25, 2024, where I'll be hosting the 2024 Illumination Circle. It will be a magical experience where I'll help you reflect on 2023 and create your unique 2024. Click here to sign up.

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.

If you'd like a personal year-ahead Karmic Soul Astrology reading, I've opened my calendar for January and February. Click here to schedule yours before they fill up and I close my calendar. You can also do a year-ahead reading on your birthday to see what's coming up for your next trip around the Sun.

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. These three things can not only make us feel as if we're stuck, but they can actually keep us stuck. And that isn't why we're here. We're here to have experiences that will help our Souls grow and evolve!

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:

  • How the very different energies of Leo and Aquarius invite us to heal
  • Why we must release what no longer serves us
  • How many planets are in retrograde, and how long this current cycle will last
  • The role alignment plays in our lives and our healing
  • What happens when we fight the release of anything
  • How the Lionsgate Portal opens new pathways for healing

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.

Join me for the It's Karmic Virtual Astrology Summit! The Summit runs July 24, 2023 - July 28, 2023. Each day will feature my friend and mentor, Vika Bradford and one of her It's Karmic graduates.

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!

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:

  • Pluto is the planet of death & rebirth, transformation, Soul Work, Shadow Work, falling apart and rising from the ashes
  • Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and is all about things like structure, responsibility, tradition and organization - what did the world experience while Pluto has been in Capricorn (since 2008)?
  • Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Neptune and is about things like innovation, technology, freedom, community and New Age ideas
  • Why it's important to understand how these shifts affect you on a personal level - and how you can find out how they'll affect you

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!

If you'd like to schedule a Soul Illumination Reading to learn. more about your Soul's path and possibilities while Pluto is in Aquarius, sign up through this link. If you can't find a time that works for you, email me at info@lorilatimer.com and we'll find a time that works.

This could be an unparalleled time in history. Shining a light on the area of life it will impact for you will help you understand and navigate it with grace and compassion.

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.

I'd love to hear what comes up for you! Email me at info@lorilatimer.com and let me know your biggest insights, and what you'll do to bring more self-love into your life.

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.

If you'd like to book a reading with me to find out what karmic patterns you may be playing out, click here and we'll take a deep dive into that and so much more!

The ancient art of yoga has become very popular in Western society over the past few decades. It's one of the things that helped create the foundation I had when my son left this life in 2019.

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. In this episode, I offer you the #1 question to ask yourself as we begin yet another New Year. You can use this question as your guiding light as we work our way through the year. 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. Listen to the full episode to hear the bonus the first 3 people to sign up will receive!

This is a beautiful reading at any time of year - your birthday, anniversary, or any other time because it's based on the upcoming 12 months from the time of your reading, regardless of when you have the reading.

Don't miss my holiday special where you'll receive my Year-End Energy Reading at a savings of $111 off the regular investment of $222! Go to https://tinyurl.com/2023energy to book yours today. I only have space for 7 of these at this price before the end of the year, so don't miss this opportunity!

  • The Dark Moon - what it is and what it does
  • How working with the Dark Moon (and particularly in Vika’s monthly membership) can help us clear our energy

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.

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:

  • Her “two-year cycle” of building things up and burning them down
  • The point she realized she was tired of hustling and forcing things in her life
  • What she asked God to do to help her that began her journey of healing and processing years of grief
  • Why you must do the inner work first before anything in your outer world will change
  • What she learned about rushing through to the next things vs. preparing for the right thing
  • Why it’s important to feel the loss and move through it
  • How divorce is like the death of a dream
  • The importance of rebuilding trust in a relationship after its been broken and a way to do that
  • The love affair you must have
  • The realization she had on a solo bike ride
  • The growth we experience when we become comfortable doing things alone
  • Where some of the most amazing relationships in her life came from
  • The one thing you must do to see anything change in your life after a loss of any kind
  • The gift and beauty of the overwhelm of grief
  • The part we play in the dance of Universal support that’s available to all of us
  • The journal Christine recommends everyone should keep
  • Why movement is so important on our healing journey
  • How Christine has seen emotions physically manifest in our bodies in her work through the years
  • The importance of releasing and expressing joy as well as grief
  • Things we can do when we’re in the depths of grief
  • How the structure of nature can support us
  • What can happen when we get stuck in a phase of anger
  • Why it’s so important to connect to living things
  • The magic we can experience when we open up to what exists beyond what we can see with our physical eyes
  • The myth of being an empath or highly sensitive
  • Are you adding to or taking from yourself and life with what you choose to consume
  • Why what you consume may be compromising your ability to heal and to tune into your intuition
  • The importance of learning to receive when you’re used to giving all the time
  • Some of the beliefs women hold that don’t serve us
  • One of the biggest things that prevents women from asking for what we need

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.

  • Why her second tour of duty during peacekeeping was worse than the first deployment
  • What happened when she went to Germany on her way back to Iraq after her wedding
  • Her initial reaction to being told she had PTSD
  • How her husband’s PTSD affected her life
  • What she was looking for when she went from the Army to the “Mouse House”
  • What she did to avoid facing her trauma and PTSD
  • How her PTSD was different from her former husband’s PTSD (this is important because PTSD does present differently for people)
  • The things she did to “manage” her PTSD (you might recognize some of these in yourself)
  • What helped calm down some of her PTSD reactions
  • When she finally realized the scope of her PTSD
  • How she turned the symptoms of her PTSD into her superpower - and into a powerful business
  • How she changed things that worked against her into things that work for her
  • The importance of communication and expectations when navigating trauma and PTSD
  • The parenting style she created that honors her children and her PTSD
  • What it’s like to be in a “PTSD couple”
  • How the Veterans’ organization, Team Red, White & Blue, helped her after she and her husband separated (an organization available for civilians as well as former military members)
  • What running a marathon did for her mentally
  • The importance of accountability in her healing journey
  • How baby steps have helped her reach her goals
  • Her experiences with panic attacks from the PTSD
  • My vulnerable sharing of an experience I had that brought on an panic attack - and how my late son, Greg, showed me he was supporting me through it
  • The importance of having people and a community to support you and honor where you are on your healing journey
  • How Heather has been able to help friends who have had difficult experiences
  • How she’s created a business that works for her on her healing journey

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:

  • The beginnings of Jess’s journey into art
  • What led her to opening up more conversation around death, rituals and ceremonies
  • The importance of creating personalized rituals and ceremonies that honor the emotions of grief
  • How nature helped her heal from a breakup
  • The impact conversations with friends and family navigating grief had on the creation of Spirit Vessel
  • How my Mom’s preplanning helped me in the aftermath of her sudden return to Spirit
  • The stark difference when my son returned to Spirit with having no plans in place (this underscores the importance of preplanning at any age)
  • Why we need rites of passage in the course of our lives
  • How ritual and ceremony allow us to come back and hold space for our grief and emotions
  • How preplanning allows us to be more present with our grief and with others in times of loss
  • The way in which ceremony and ritual allows the paradox of joy and grief to co-exist
  • Why it’s so important to move our emotions out of our heads and into our bodies
  • How the original intention and vision of Spirit Vessel changed due to the pandemic
  • Why the idea of rewriting the ideas and stories of how things should look around grief and loss is very intriguing and exciting
  • How the traditional ways of experiencing death and grief are disrespectful and uninviting
  • The Ceremony Guidebook Jess created that you can use at any time to honor your loved one and your grief
  • How you can work with Spirit Vessel in creating your own unique ceremonies and rituals
  • Why ceremony and ritual helps us avoid the isolation that’s so prevalent in modern society
  • The passage Jess read from her beautiful Ceremony Guidebook on Opening To Forgiveness

  • How Gemini will assist us in moving out of Eclipse Season
  • The reason you might be feeling foggy. mentally - and what you can do to relieve some of it

  • Which type strives to feel self-sufficient... and detached -and why detached is not a negative thing

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:

  • Why Sarah chose to incorporate the Enneagram into her work
  • Why mindset alone isn’t enough to change or heal something in our lives
  • Why it’s important to understand that not everyone sees the world the way you do
  • What is the Enneagram - and why is it different from other personality type tools?
  • What the Enneagram can reveal about us
  • What the 9 Enneagram types represent
  • Does our “type” change over the course of our lives?
  • What your core motive reveals - and the role it plays when we experience deep trauma or loss
  • How the traits of another type may play out when we’re in grief or experience trauma
  • Sarah’s recommendation on how to find your Enneagram type
  • How knowing your Enneagram type can help you filter out what’s helpful and what’s not helpful at various points in your life
  • Sarah’s description of each type, the shadow side of each type, and how it might look for each type to process trauma and grief (this is GOLD)
  • Which type most women initially identify with - but this isn’t necessarily their true type
  • My intuitive insights into each type

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.

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:

  • Why the energies of this New Moon are amplified
  • What the Earth sign of Taurus makes available to us
  • How the planet - and Goddess - Venus affects the energies
  • Why self-worth is impacted by Taurus, especially when you're on a healing journey
  • Why we do not want to set intentions on this New Moon
  • The quantum level change that's possible right now
  • Which planet may cause unexpected chaos and upheaval right now - and what you can lean on to help move through it
  • What the best medicine for healing is

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.

  • What is this mystical, magical place - and where is it?
  • An easy way to envision the Akashic Records
  • How can we access it?
  • The importance of permission and consent in accessing the Records
  • What information can we receive from the Records?
  • Levels of information available in the Records
  • What can happen if we don't have the training or permission to access the Records

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.

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 this episode I share:

  • How you know when you're out of alignment
  • A practice you can do to begin to come into alignment
  • The energies of the upcoming Full Moon in Libra
  • How these energies are asking us to look at both ourself and others on our healing journey
  • What may pop up for attention, healing, and releasing
  • What we're being called to reevaluate
  • The rare cosmic alignment happening the day this episode is released (April 12, 2022)
  • The opportunities for healing that Jupiter, Neptune and Pisces are bringing
  • A journal question to reflect on while we're in these energies

There are still a few spaces available for an Illumination Reading during the month of April.

  • The importance of self-care on a healing journey, and why should be a non-negotiable
  • How all humans struggle with a sense of worthiness

  • The importance of having a purpose
  • A heartfelt thank you to all the listeners and guests

Welcome to Equinox Season! If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, you've just entered the Spring Equinox, and if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, you're entering the Autumn Equinox. 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.

I also share some very powerful mantras as well as some journal questions to assist you in these reflections and in your intention setting.

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:

  • The effects of chemical poisoning and the physical effects it caused for her
  • The way her brain injury resembled Alzheimer’s
  • How listening to her intuition helped her navigate her healing journey
  • What the doctors told her she should do - and what she knew to do instead
  • The prayer she said every day that helped her
  • How she tuned into her own body to receive the wisdom she required
  • How she connected with trees and plants - and how they helped her on her healing journey
  • The amazing way we can all source this information - but what we have to do to allow it
  • Where she lived in Hawaii for 16 years
  • The important element in the questions we ask
  • The piece that’s often missing when we gain knowledge and wisdom
  • Her insights about much of what people believe to be knowledge and truth
  • Her research and learning of the inverses, or reverses, of what’s true that’s being put out into the collective human knowledge field
  • The exciting benefits of the solar flares that are occurring and how they’re helping with the awakening and raising of consciousness (for those who are ready)
  • Why it’s critical to step away from what we’re told by others and look at things from a different perspective
  • The amazing effect that’s possible when we change our thinking and the feelings we produce
  • What happens to us physically when we’re in a state of fear or trauma
  • How the news and advertisements get us into the fear state - and why they do it
  • “The Bandwagon Effect” - what it is and how it’s used to manipulate us
  • How soft advertising is perpetuating the culture of fear we’re living in
  • Why equating the news with the truth is another reversal
  • What we can turn to for truth
  • Why sleeping with the TV on is so harmful
  • The safest place for us to be

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.

Please email me at info @lorilatimer.com and let me know your takeaways from this episode so I can share them with Haumea. And please be sure to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review on Apple and Spotify so we can continue to grow and reach more women on a healing journey.

When someone we love returns to Spirit, the one thing most of us want is to know our loved one still exists somewhere, in some form. Mediums are one way of communicating with those on the Other Side.

  • How her son’s passing led her to the work she now does
  • How being open and curious about death and what happens when we leave this earthly life started her spiritual journey
  • What is EVP?
  • How Souls in Spirit communicate through EVP
  • The wide array of people who practice EVP (some of these will surprise you!)
  • Other forms of communication, such as ITC (Instrumental Trans Communication) and visual images
  • What we’re really connecting with through these various methods
  • How she’s able to communicate with non-verbal human beings from children to the elderly with Alzheimer’s
  • The process she uses to communicate with Souls, living or in Spirit
  • The role that ever-evolving technology plays in these communications
  • Do the voices of our loved ones in Spirit sound the same as when they were in their human body?
  • How she uses a recording of someone’s earthly voice in creating messages from someone in Spirit
  • How she records the messages
  • The technology available in Spirit
  • Her journey to learning to develop images with the renowned Brazilian researcher, Sonia Rinaldi
  • How Spirits create the images she records

As you listen to this episode, please remember to come from an open, compassionate heart, both for yourself and others. This is a no-judgment episode!

  • My "go-to" way to avoid my grief and trauma

Harry Sherwood is thoughtful, delightful, insightful, and wise well beyond his years. Growing up as a typical American young man, something began pulling him in a different direction. Harry is very vulnerable in this interview in sharing his journey. We covered a variety of fascinating topics including:

  • Life before traveling the world, living in an Ashram, and developing presence
  • The gnawing sensation he kept experiencing that led him to follow his calling
  • What lit him up along the way
  • How he followed the “awe” he received
  • His path from football coach to meditation and self-realization
  • The real reason he landed in China to study Tai Chi and Qi Gong (this isn’t what you’d expect!)
  • What he feels pulled him forward more than courage
  • What can happen when you don’t follow your Soul’s calling
  • The remembering he had as he was following his Soul’s calling
  • The importance of the present moment
  • The presence question he asks people
  • Why so many of us don’t want to stay present
  • What he first thought presence would be - and what he learned it really is
  • What spiritual bypassing does to our humanity
  • The side of healing and humanity the “love and light” community bypasses
  • Why it’s critical to feel our feelings and embody them
  • Questions you can ask once you’re in your body
  • HeartMath and the intelligence of the heart
  • The heart-brain-gut connection
  • Meditation - myths and realities

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.

  • How a pint sized dog named Tyson helped create a spiritual awakening in an agnostic police officer
  • How Tyson came into their lives
  • Why Brandon wasn’t initially excited about his wife bringing Tyson into their lives
  • What Brandon had to do to win Tyson’s trust and respect
  • How Tyson helped open Brandon’s heart in ways he didn’t know he needed
  • The questions he asked after Tyson left this life that led to his spiritual awakening
  • His experiences with animal communicators
  • The reasons he wrote “Tyson’s Gift”
  • Why he was compelled, but not necessarily convinced, by some of the stories of animal communication
  • How he went from "belief" about the Afterlife to "knowing"
  • The experiences his wife and daughter had “hearing” Tyson after he went to Spirit
  • The hilarious story of Tyson and their other dog, Chloe, getting into the pantry and what they ate!
  • The bond between Tyson and Chloe both in this life and now that they're both in Spirit
  • His first experience with a medium when some of his loved ones in Spirit came through
  • The fears he had as he embarked on his Reiki training (you will probably relate to these!)
  • What Tyson’s Gift really is - and where the name of the book came from
  • How Tyson’s Spirit is kept alive every day
  • While losing a pet and losing a child are not the same, the similarities he sees in both losses
  • My experience with an animal communicator this summer when my dog, Huckle, had cancer

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:

  • The very different Thanksgiving I had this year - and why it was perfect for me
  • What to do during the holidays if you have other children or grandchildren
  • What to do if your only child is in Spirit and you’re alone for the holidays
  • Holiday preparations
  • Setting boundaries to honor your grief
  • Things to consider about your traditions
  • What to do if your grief becomes too much during a holiday get together
  • Ways you can honor your child or other loved ones during the holidays
  • Random acts of kindness you can do in your child’s or other loved one's name
  • The importance of time and space in your holiday calendar

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.

We all go through "seasons" of our lives, just like the the weather and the seasons on the calendar. When we've experienced loss or trauma, we navigate new seasons, and they don't follow any dates on a calendar.

In this episode I talk about:

  • The various seasons we experience
  • What can cause them to change
  • How we're affected by seasons and dates on the calendar
  • Collective vs. personal shifts in energy
  • The misperception many people have when they repeat seasons
  • What to do when you feel you're backsliding
  • How and why to define "happiness"

  • Are you reaching? Or are you holding on in an effort to not forget?
  • How we can take our loved ones in Spirit with us as we reach, so we don't forget
  • Things you can reach for on your healing journey
  • Why I no longer set goals, and what I do instead
  • What prize do you hope to receive when you finish this life?
  • What is it costing you not to reach?

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:

  • How Melissa's childhood led to issues with codependency and people pleasing
  • How her divorce led to her first awakening
  • How a breakup from a subsequent relationship led to her second awakening
  • Her path from being a teacher, to becoming a Reiki practitioner, writing a book and starting a podcast
  • How she’s helping her children navigate the death of their father
  • The physical changes that happen in our brain when we experience trauma
  • How she initially tried to hide her grief from her children after their father’s death - and what she later realized about that
  • How learning to “stuff” our feelings in childhood can affect us into adulthood
  • Something that makes grief so difficult - and what’s required in the process
  • Why grace is so important on your grief journey
  • Why Melissa used laughter in her book, Beautifully Broken
  • How I used “Sex and the City” to heal after my divorce
  • The various ways guilt affects our grief
  • Why you don’t want to “ugly cry” at a drag show
  • What it means to “Awaken Your Inner Awesomeness”

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:

  • How my spiritual journey prepared me for my son's passing
  • How to find meaning after trauma or loss
  • How to transmute lower vibrational emotions into higher vibrational emotions - without spiritual bypassing

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.

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.

  • How free will impacts our Soul Contracts
  • Vibration - what is it, what raises it, and what lowers it
  • How I do what I do when it hasn’t been that long since my son went to Spirit

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:

  • The photographic evidence he received 3 days after his son went to Spirit
  • His awakening
  • The things he saw on the “trip” he took - without any drugs
  • What he saw in the clouds
  • His journey from corporate America to creating a new genre of music
  • Why we must raise our frequency right now
  • How the switch to 440 Hz music by the Germans in WWII affected (and continues to affect) humanity
  • What happens to digital pictures that doesn’t happen with film
  • How the Angel numbers he sees has changed
  • How he writes his music
  • Why he believes we’re all masters of survival
  • What he does with his runaway thoughts (we all have them!)
  • What happens when the Angels realize you’re listening to them
  • What scared him when he saw three beings standing up in the Sun
  • What he believes his Soul mission is
  • How frequency helps the brain heal
  • His clothing line - and the surprise incorporated into each piece
  • Why it’s so important to be careful with the words you use and what you sign
  • His experience with the Blue Kachina in Utah in 2021 when the world was shut down

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.

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:

  • What forgiveness really is
  • The emotions holding us back from forgiveness
  • Where we carry these emotions in our physical bodies
  • How understanding our roles in past lives can help us in forgiveness in this life
  • How forgiving ourselves as well as others is critical - and what can happen when we can’t forgive
  • How raising your consciousness can assist you in being able to forgive
  • How life on Earth is like a big play - and how we each chose our roles before we incarnated
  • How I’ve surrendered and forgiven the role that others played in my own son’s passing
  • What we can learn about forgiveness from the spiritual text “A Course In Miracles”
  • My tips on what to do when you feel you’re unable to forgive

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:

  • The role of feminine energy is the Renaissance Era
  • The rise of masculine energy in the Industrial Revolution, and how it continues to impact us today
  • Traits of masculine energy that’s in alignment and out of alignment
  • Traits of feminine energy that’s in alignment and out of alignment
  • The problem with the concept of “balance”
  • The role that World War II and the women’s lib movement had on our feminine energies
  • Ways you can come back into harmony with your masculine and feminine energies
  • Why I love Breathwork for aligning with  feminine energy
  • Some ways I know when I’m out of alignment

If you’d like to see if a Breathwork session would be right for you, email me at info@lorilatimer.com. It's been one of the most powerful ways I realign with my feminine energy, and women who experience it say the same thing happens for them. Give it a try and see how it can help you on your healing journey.

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:

  • How worthiness and deserving affect our healing
  • Punishing ourselves
  • How our self-talk affects our healing
  • Questions to ask yourself about your self-talk
  • The emotions underneath our self-talk

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:

  • What wearing an invisible mask does to our emotions
  • How people wear masks on social media contributes - and what it does to us
  • The mask we wear when someone asks us how we are
  • Why we wear these masks
  • What we’re hiding under our masks
  • Questions to ask before you post or respond
  • How to take off your mask

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.

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:

  • What being an empath means to Tricia
  • The experience she had physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually that woke her up to the fact that she’s an empath
  • What empaths hold onto - and how it affects them
  • When she “heard” a coworker’s emotions
  • How she started to learn to use her own energy
  • How not being grounded affects our ability to connect with our Higher Self and our loved ones in Spirit
  • How Tricia created a way to ground herself in the Earth even if you aren’t able to go outside
  • The difference between a Highly Sensitive Person and an Empath - and the similarities between them
  • Something easy an empath can do if you find yourself in an overwhelming situation out in public
  • Why “protection bubbles” don’t work - and what to do instead
  • What happens when people give away their power to the self-proclaimed “gurus” and how it affects our healing
  • The importance of trusting ourselves and our intuition
  • Some of the traits and characteristics of being an empath
  • How being an empath and listening to her body helped her on her journey with breast cancer
  • How what we put in and our body causes our body to struggle - and the ramifications of that
  • How to set boundaries that honor you and those in your life
  • What NOT to do when you say no to someone

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:

  • One of the roles I now have as my son's Mom now that he's no longer in this life
  • What exactly is a legacy?
  • Why I believe we should LIVE our legacy and not simply leave a legacy
  • The difference in people who rise and create incredible lives after trauma and loss and those who let their loss and trauma destroy their lives
  • The choice only you can make
  • A very vulnerable share about why I do what I do - and what that has to do with my own legacy
  • How healing our own traumas and grief helps heal our lineage
  • How mentorship can help on your healing journey

This is the final episode of the 4-part series on the 4 Pillars of Connection and Healing. Spirituality is much deeper than religion. In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why skipping the other pillars and going straight to the spiritual pillar is a form of spiritual bypassing - and why it compromises your healing and ability to connect
  • The risk to our Soul contract if we do any form of spiritual bypassing in our healing
  • The belief we must have that helps form a strong foundation for our healing
  • Why most people don't believe they can meditate
  • The best way to support the Spiritual Pillar
  • Why the “instant gratification” world we live in sabotages our healing and connection
  • What you must do in order to create a life worth living after loss or trauma
  • Where your connection to your Higher Self and your loved ones in Spirit really happens

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:

  • The real reason many people stay stuck in their grief and trauma
  • Why mindset work alone isn’t enough
  • What the movie, The Secret, missed
  • How our conscious mind can sabotage our healing
  • Where the deeper healing occurs
  • What happens when we don’t express our emotions
  • How I take my clients on a Journey to Wholeness to help them heal
  • Why, although I am a healer, I do not heal anyone
  • What wholeness is, and what it isn’t

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:

  • Our “feel good” hormones and how they’re connected to our physical and mental wellness
  • The neural pathways in our brains and how they’re created
  • The connection between our thoughts, habits and beliefs
  • Tips on how we can support our mental health on our healing journey
  • What I called “the in between” after my son left this life
  • Which astrological signs are more likely to overprocess, ruminate and research - and generally be all up in their heads about everything  (this is just for fun!)

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:**

  • The “pause” that assisted me in shifting my life when I left my marriage in 2008
  • How the world narrative shapes us
  • How women are conditioned to ignore their inner knowing (men are as well!)
  • What all of the “doing” has done to our society and how it has disconnected us from ourselves and from our Souls
  • What we can do to reconnect to our Soul
  • What happened - and what I found - when I became comfortable in the stillness
  • What will you do 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.

  • The pivotal experiences we each had in 2008 that were part of a big shift that occurred in the collective consciousness at that time
  • A fascinating conversation about energy, vibration, and what it means to raise our vibration

  • The effect that certain substances have on our vibration
  • The importance of awareness in choosing what to put into your body
  • Why water is so important when you’re grieving
  • Dream visits - what they are, why some people receive them and others don’t

  • The role emotions play in our ability or inability to recognize the signs our loved ones send us
  • The main thing to be aware of when you connect with a message you receive from a loved one in Spirit
  • Our role in asking for and receiving messages from our loved ones in Spirit
  • Some examples of signs our loved ones send us

  • The difference in the energetic vibration between being cautious and being conscious
  • The limitations of language in these conversations
  • What our loved ones in Spirit want from us
  • The role contrast plays in our lives

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.

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.

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.

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. There are some questions you can ask yourself that will help when you’re in that space of deep grief, questions I ask myself when I’m in that space.

  • The one question that’s usually not the right one to ask - and some questions to ask instead
  • Something grieving people are searching for when they ask certain questions
  • The question/idea I don’t want to be faced with at the end of my life
  • Why I started saying “Yes” to so many things after my divorce in 2008

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:

  • Journaling to remember
  • The human body as a conduit for Spirit
  • How to differentiate between Spirit and our human ego when channeling
  • Her experience of seeing Jesus when she was a small child
  • The step we often miss when we pray
  • The importance of stillness and being comfortable in it
  • “Shining from within” in Heaven
  • What her son, Mario, told her from Spirit about our feelings
  • Her advice to those who don’t believe they’re receiving signs from their child or other loved ones in Spirit
  • The magnet for miracles
  • The role free will plays in our connection with our loved ones in Spirit
  • The connection between Angels and pairs of animals
  • How things manifest in the Spirit world/Heaven
  • What happens to our Soul right before we take our final breath in this life
  • The choice we each have when we experience great loss
  • What happens when we don’t allow our emotions to be felt

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.

  • How her past experiences prepared assisted on her grief journey
  • The “fun” skill her son, Glenn, used to teach his students after school
  • Why the timing of Glenn’s passing was a shock, but the reality of it wasn’t
  • Her beliefs on “asking why” and “giving up”
  • The question to ask in place of asking “why”
  • Something that helped her on her grief journey
  • One way she chooses to honor her son, her mother and her father who are all in Spirit
  • The vision her sister-in-law saw about the significance of Glenn’s passing on the day of the Haiti earthquake that shifted everything for Bonnie
  • What your choosing to suffer does to those who love you
  • What her grief journey looks like for her 11 years after Glenn’s passing
  • The difference in the choices we have and the choices we don’t have
  • What her husband, Phil, told her when she received her cancer diagnosis, and how that message supported her marriage when Glenn passed away
  • Why it’s so important to journey with someone along life’s challenges
  • Her acronym for “SAFE”
  • Finding our way from the Light… to the dark… and back to the Light
  • How she uses humor when she wants to connect with her loved ones in Spirit
  • Ways we can find joy in life after great loss - and what’s required of you to find it
  • Her suggestions for those struggling with deep grief

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:

  • Does everything really happen for a reason?
  • Some of the reasons our Souls choose to incarnate
  • Where you do not find meaning in your child’s (or other loved one’s) passing
  • The opportunity we have after great loss
  • The choice you get to make about what you focus on
  • The awareness I had early on my grief journey that helps me continue living my life in a meaningful way
  • The message you're sending your child (or other loved one in Spirit) if you choose to live a fulfilling life, or if you choose to simply exist
  • How I can assist you in finding what your Soul came here to specialize in

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.”

  • Luke’s moments of joy
  • Why what matters isn’t about what you accomplish in the world - and what is important
  • How opening ourselves up to love opens us up to loss
  • How he’s extended Luke’s Spirit as a way to not get lost in the grief, but rather to use it to give to others
  • What he doubted about his writing
  • The message Luke’s godfather received for Jim after Luke’s passing - and Jim’s initial reaction to it
  • The thing we can’t force ourselves to do
  • What he believes is the most important thing for us to do in grief
  • How he fell into the abyss of God
  • What happens when we shine a light on the thoughts and emotions of our grief
  • The question he asks himself when he meets someone who’s grieving
  • The gift we can find in grief - if we choose to
  • What he learned from a patient with disabilities when he was a chaplain in a hospital
  • His experience with Lawrence Welk’s daughter, and her near-death experience
  • What happened when he used mantras and energy healing on Luke in the NICU
  • The concept of emotional wholeness - and the journey to attain it after grief
  • The hard choices we often have to make with loved ones who are seriously ill
  • What he did with Luke’s pictures after Luke’s passing
  • The importance of surrender and not pushing against what is
  • When his grief began to melt away
  • When he was able to finish the book
  • Why his book is very uncomfortable for men

Be sure to pick up a copy of Jim's book on Amazon or your local bookstore.

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:

  • How she coped with the hand life dealt her in an age when there wasn’t much grief support
  • How her mother’s death affected her career (this might surprise you)
  • What she chooses to focus on
  • Why every loss is worthy of our pain
  • How grief followed her around
  • The gift and wisdom she received inside a Ziploc bag filled with letters
  • What your loved one’s possessions signify
  • Why we often hold onto our pain
  • The choice she faced - and made - when she opened the bag of letters
  • How her experience with cancer helped her find her voice - and her calling

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 :

  • Why this past month has been more difficult than many of us (including me) expected
  • How I faced one of my challenging experiences after my Mom passed away
  • Some ways to ride the waves that grief brings
  • How emotions can be like a toddler having a temper tantrum
  • The subtle shift in energy you may have felt recently

I always want to give you a new perspective, a different way of looking at things to help you on your grief and healing journey. This episode does just that. In it I share:

  • Something I read and hear from a lot of bereaved Moms that triggers them and makes them angry
  • Why we all come from our own experience in life
  • Why it’s important to honor someone else’s “worst” loss and pain
  • What people are trying to do when they say certain things
  • What happens when we get triggered by what someone says or does to us
  • My invitation to you if what I share here triggers or upsets you
  • How we hurt ourselves when we lash out at someone else
  • What usually lies beneath our anger

As always, there’s no judgment in what I’m sharing. If you’ve done this in the past, don’t judge or criticize yourself for it. Remembering that we all come from our own unique experiences in life might help you the next time you’re faced with a similar situation.

  • The 180 her life did after her son’s passing
  • How she felt about the Jami that didn’t have Chayse after his passing

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!

Paul Jacobs is a world-renowned medium. He studied at and taught at the Arthur Findlay College in England, the premier college for spirituality and mediumship studies. I’m extremely honored that Paul was kind enough to do this interview. If you’re skeptical about mediumship, please listen in with an open heart - I think Paul will open you up to a new way of looking at the Spirit world and the gifts it has for us. He’s had a fascinating and rich history with mediumship and spirituality, about which he shared openly in our conversation.

Our conversation lasted well over an hour. I’ll release part 2 next week, so stay tuned for the rest of the conversation! Here are a few of the highlights from Part 1 of our chat:

  • Why he only speaks from his own experience in mediumship, and not things he’s read
  • Why he considers himself to be the “Reluctant Medium”
  • How his search for the reality of God led him to mediumship and the Spirit world
  • Why being a “Reluctant Medium” helped him grow as a medium
  • A peek into some of his private conversations with Gordon Higginson, his mentor and the then-Principal of the Arthur Findlay College
  • The message he received from the Spirit world about being a full-time medium
  • The role personal responsibility takes in the choices we make
  • The intention I always set before I have a reading with a medium
  • The reading where Paul received the message he needed to hear, but not the one he wanted to hear
  • What he tells aspiring mediums about meeting the needs of the client and the Spirit world
  • The difference between psychic readings and mediumship readings
  • Why the term “psychic medium” is really a misnomer
  • The different roles of the Soul in psychic readings and in mediumship readings
  • Why we all have psychic abilities, but we don’t all have mediumship abilities
  • Why we don’t develop mediumship - and what we can develop instead
  • Why being a medium is not the only way to be of service (this one is particularly important for bereaved parents)
  • The importance of intent and motivation in mediumship
  • The true purpose of mediumship (hint: it isn’t what most people think it is)
  • What Gordon Higginson told him about the materialistic side of mediumship
  • Why it’s so important for bereaved parents to maintain a balance between wanting to connect spiritually and living their present physical lives
  • What he tells bereaved parents the reason their child in Spirit may not be happy
  • How the concept of eternity can assist us on our grief journey
  • Why bereaved parents don’t need to worry about things they feel their children missed out on in this life

This episode was so rich and full of insightful information. It’s a particularly important episode for bereaved parents who are trying to develop mediumship abilities.

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:

  • How many grieving Moms are working through their grief
  • How 2021 is calling us to shift in our grief and healing journey
  • The choice only you can make
  • The energetics of 2020 and 2021, and what each means for us
  • What 2021 offers each of us, no matter where we are in life and in our grief and healing journey

This week’s episode is heavy and difficult, but necessary. As we face the holidays, a New Moon and Solar Eclipse, the Winter Solstice, and a Full Moon all happening this month, the energies are intense.

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.

If you need professional help, please reach out to a mental health professional or call a crisis hotline.

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.

In this episode, I share:

  • How self-care is the foundation on which we build (or deepen) a strong, healthy connection with our child or other loved ones in Spirit
  • Why self-care is not selfish or self-indulgent - and what it really is
  • How many Moms avoid self-care as a form of self-punishment
  • What my 4 Pillars of Connection are and how they help build your foundation of connection to Spirit
  • Why breathwork helps support all 4 Pillars of Connection

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:

  • What to do if you have other children or grandchildren
  • What to do if your only child is in Spirit and you’re alone for the holidays
  • Holiday preparations
  • Setting boundaries to honor your grief
  • Things to consider about your traditions
  • What to do if your grief becomes too much during a holiday get together
  • Ways you can honor your child during the holidays
  • Random acts of kindness you can do in your child’s name
  • The importance of time and space in your holiday calendar

“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!

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:

  • His choice to grieve with love - and what that means to him
  • What he chooses to do instead of suffering through his grief
  • What grieving with Grace means to him
  • His experiences connecting with his son using plant-based medicine, and the messages he received during those experiences
  • How self-love helps us in our grief
  • Using self-love as a multivitamin against chaos
  • The moment we fully love ourselves
  • The truth about choices
  • Finding the gifts in the nightmare
  • What to say to someone who’s grieving instead of “I’m sorry for your loss”
  • A way to lean into the remembrance of your child (or other loved one)
  • How he honors his son’s mother, even though they’re divorced

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.

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:

  • What the Law of Gestation has to do with karma
  • How quickly karma can play out
  • How we can shift our karma
  • How past life choices affect our current karma
  • The power of choice in shifting our karma
  • Ego and karma

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.

  • What really causes us to lose our patience
  • What you can choose instead of impatience or losing your temper
  • 3 things that will assist you in staying out of the reactionary, low-level energies
  • The question to ask yourself about what you’re consuming (not only physical food!)
  • One way to determine your level of self-worth
  • One thing we tend to perceive as a weakness that’s actually a sign of strength

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.**

**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.

Michelle Robertson is no stranger to trauma. In her healing journey from various traumas, she found that writing was a way for her to process it. In our conversation, we talked about:**

  • How an attempted carjacking shifted her life
  • How trauma of any kind affects our identity
  • How trauma affects our ability to trust
  • Creative clustering - what it is and how it can jumpstart your writing
  • Why someone needs to earn the right to hear your story
  • The connection between your identity and reframing your story
  • One of the most important questions to ask when you use writing as a tool to help heal trauma
  • And so much more!

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:**

  • Where the layers of grief we carry come from
  • What changes in us after we lose a child and then experience subsequent losses
  • Why it’s important to feel all of our grief, each time we have another experience of it
  • What I’m not doing with my grief

Sally Stacey is a lovely woman I connected with on Facebook in late 2019. She’s a bereaved Mom who has an incredible connection with her son, Tommy, in Spirit. In this episode we talked about:

  • How her connection to nature assisted her in connecting to her son in Spirit
  • How shifting internally helped her shift her life in the years before her son went to Heaven
  • How “sitting in the power” helped her process the experience of losing her son
  • How reframing the question of “Why me” kept her from becoming a victim and instead ensured she is a survivor
  • The difference between signs and connections
  • Our responsibility in connecting with our children
  • Why not everything is a sign

**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.**

  • The moment she sucked down the pain over the loss of her baby
  • Paying attention to the gifts from our children in Spirit
  • The question she asked herself that became her turning point
  • The “birth” of Elegant Femme and growing it to a multimillion dollar business
  • Who we are without our labels and rebuilding our identity after loss
  • How beauty and lingerie impacted her journey
  • The three distinct pieces of ourselves we need to pay attention to everyday
  • What the Indie, Frenchie and New Yorker are - and they how can support us on our grief journey
  • How her vacation in France turned into a Paris Fashion Show with her own clothing line
  • How to allow the truth and knowing that life is short to change your life
  • The questions to ask yourself each day on your grief journey
  • How Tara incorporates grief into a beautiful life

**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:**

  • Why it’s important to express your grief and emotions in front of the children in your life - and why this isn’t just limited to your own children
  • How your living children may take on overresponsibiity for you
  • Behavioral indicators to watch for
  • Impacts on children who now become an “only child”
  • The importance of routine and structure for younger children
  • Ways to involve your living children in honoring your child in Spirit
  • Support groups for older siblings
  • Honoring your living children’s Soul Contracts

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:

  • Grace in the context of Grief With Grace For Grieving Moms
  • Ways we can show ourselves and others Grace
  • Why Grace is required to connect with our children
  • How a perfume commercial in 1979 affected our self-care
  • One of the best crystals to use for self-love

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.

In this episode, I’ll share with you:

  • How we choose our parents and experiences before we incarnate
  • Different roles we play in different lifetimes
  • Does understanding we agreed to our experiences lessen our grief?
  • Why this probably isn’t our first experience losing a child
  • Ways you can choose to grow through your grief

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:

  • What bereaved parents are most determined to know
  • The different types of intuition
  • Why our children may not come to us in our dreams
  • What Christine has found blocks our ability to connect with our child ourselves.

**Oh, and her Grandma’s red shoes - you don’t want to miss that!
