After being away from the podcast for several weeks, I wanted to come on and share an honest update. About five weeks ago I developed a health issue that has completely knocked me for a loop. I’ve been to the hospital twice and am currently working with doctors to figure out what’s going on. Between the pain, the medications, and the testing ahead, I simply don’t have the physical or mental bandwidth right now to continue producing the podcast.

As many of you know, creating each episode involves hours of work beyond the recording itself—research, editing, writing show notes, creating social media, and preparing newsletters. Right now, I need to reserve my energy for healing and for my work, so I’m placing the podcast on hold for a season while I focus on my health.

This season has also reminded me how grateful I am for the strong health foundation I’ve built over the years and for the clarity that comes from staying grounded in God’s Word. When life becomes uncertain, faith gives us something solid to stand on. My hope is that this journey—both the struggles and the transformation—continues to encourage you to seek truth and walk closely with God.

While the podcast is paused, I will still be sharing a daily Scripture graphic on Instagram at 9:15 a.m. Eastern as part of my Year in the Word for Women. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for walking with me through the past six years of this podcast. I’m deeply grateful for your support, and I hope to return when the time is right.

Right now I don’t know when I’ll be back. I hope you will “follow” the podcast on whatever podcast app you use, so when I do come back (as I hope to do), a new episode will pop up in your podcast feed.

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, I’m diving into one of the strangest, most eye-opening sections of the Old Testament—Numbers 21 - 24. These chapters are filled with unexpected messengers: a fiery serpent, a talking donkey, and a corrupt oracle. And yet, each one is used by God to confront, correct, and protect.

I share a personal story about how one small word - church - kept showing up in my life during the summer of 2024. I didn’t want it. I tried to ignore it. But just like the serpent in the wilderness, the donkey on the road, or the prophetic blessing spoken by Balaam, it was the unexpected thing God used to open my eyes.

This episode is for the woman who’s been hearing a whisper she didn’t expect. The one who’s unsure if God could really be speaking through pain, people she dismissed, or even circumstances that feel confrontational. We’ll unpack what these strange messengers reveal about God's protection, His holiness, and the way He opens the eyes of His daughters - even when they’ve been wandering.

🔑 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.
