In a kind of spoken silence, I sat with Felicia Murrell this week for the podcast. Our chat brought forth something rare in our noisy age – the sacred art of listening.

Felicia shared how she found her strength in being unseen, reading books in quiet corners. Now she guides others into that same sacred space, not as an authority but as a witness to their stories.

She spoke of her path from invisibility to voice, then to a deeper calling: creating space for others to find their truth. Her words on motherhood struck me – how she meets her adult children as they are now, not as memories from the past.

“When I think I need to be the bearer of wisdom to another, I have stopped doing the deep work of listening,” she quoted. This sits with me, as I think about my own tendency to fill silent spaces.

We talked about elderhood – not as a position of authority, but as a practice of bearing witness. It’s about being present, creating mirrors for younger souls to see themselves clearly.
Listen to our full conversation. You might hear echoes of your own story in hers.
