When Wisdom Becomes Your Voice

Answering the Call to Spiritual Eldership

When wisdom becomes your voice, everything changes. It’s no longer about trying to prove yourself or earn validation. Instead, your words carry the weight of lived experience, lessons hard-won through struggle, and the quiet strength that comes from surviving—and thriving—despite it all.

For me, this transformation didn’t happen overnight. It was a slow unfolding, beginning after years of pain and healing. After my father died, the freedom to finally explore my own spirituality opened a new chapter. Then, with my mother’s passing—someone who consistently dismissed and disappointed me—I stepped further away from the shadows of others’ expectations. I began to find myself, layer by layer, without filters.

My mediumship grew alongside this change. Ten years ago, I was uncertain and full of questions, still seeking permission to trust my intuition. Today, I speak with a calm confidence—a quiet power rooted in knowledge and experience, not ego or loud certainty. This is the essence of spiritual eldership: the moment when your wisdom settles into your voice and you trust it without apology.

I first felt this shift in my Mediumship Development Circle. During one session, I realized the prepared lesson wasn’t working for the group. Rather than stick to the plan, I let go and shifted course on the spot. This moment—this act of releasing control and trusting Spirit’s guidance—marked my true step into eldership. I became a leader who could flow, adapt, and hold space without needing to know all the answers in advance.

Holding Space and Lighting the Way

Now, my role is to guide, coach, and cheerleader those on their spiritual paths. I support those who are doing the inner work and gently release those who are not ready to walk alongside me. Spiritual eldership means recognizing and honoring free will, holding space without attachment to outcomes, and offering compassion without enabling stagnation.

This role is not about perfection or having everything figured out. It’s about embracing vulnerability and knowing that growth is often messy and nonlinear. It’s about seeing the flicker of awakening in someone’s eyes and offering a steady hand without taking over their journey.

A Deepened Connection to Spirit

My connection to Spirit has deepened profoundly over time. It is no longer a distant or abstract experience but an integrated part of who I am. Spirit is not separate from me—I live in ongoing relationship with the divine presence, and they respect my boundaries as much as I respect theirs.

This relationship feels like muscle memory: embedded in every breath, every choice, every moment of stillness. When I teach, I consciously remember the uncertainty and vulnerability of my early years, so I can meet my students where they are with patience and grace. Now, I trust that Spirit’s guidance will come exactly when needed, and it always does.

As you read this, consider that spiritual eldership isn’t just a role or title. It is an invitation to deepen your relationship with yourself and Spirit. It calls you to honor your unique journey—the wounds and the wisdom—and to listen closely to the quiet voice that grows stronger each day.

This path requires courage: courage to face old patterns, to stand in your truth, and to hold space with both strength and softness. Reflection is key here. By asking yourself honest questions, you open the door to greater self-awareness and transformation.

Ask Yourself:

  • Where in my life am I ready to let my wisdom become my voice?
  • How can I hold space for others without losing myself?
  • What boundaries do I need to set to protect my spiritual energy?
  • Which past wounds have shaped my voice, and how can I transform their power into healing for myself and others?
  • How do I respond when my inner knowing challenges the expectations of those around me?
  • In what ways am I called to lead—not by controlling—but by holding sacred space?
  • How can I embrace vulnerability as a strength in my role as a spiritual elder?
  • What does it feel like to truly trust Spirit’s timing in my life and work?

Spiritual eldership is a sacred rite, especially for those of us journeying through midlife and beyond. It invites us to step fully into our power—not through loud declarations, but through a deep, steady presence.

You are not simply aging. You are evolving into a keeper of light. You are not retreating—you are unfolding into your fullest self.
