info_outlineFelicity’s story is one of survival, silence, and rediscovery after enduring over forty years of physical, emotional, and mental abuse. At ten years old, she witnessed her father attempt to kill her mother with a crystal ashtray — a moment that changed everything and taught her to stay quiet, to shut down, and to carry fear as though it were part of her. Throughout her life, Felicity experienced repeated patterns of abuse. She grew up believing her worth was tied to endurance and her safety to silence — patterns rooted in a long line of generational trauma carried by her grandmother, her mother, and now, herself. Seventeen years ago, Felicity met the man who would later become her abuser. Ten years ago, she began her long process of recovery. In time, she remarried and started rebuilding, but this year brought another unexpected blow: a sudden divorce filing that reopened deep wounds. Living with C-PTSD, Felicity speaks about the exhaustion of being constantly triggered, mentally drained, and even told she was “too advanced” for the support she sought. She recalls being the child who ran to her mother’s aid after the assault — an early pattern of caretaking that followed her through life. Now, she is learning to turn that same compassion inward and reclaim her sense of self. Through faith, surrender, and deep reflection, Felicity continues to transform pain into purpose. After years of surviving, she is finally discovering what it means to truly live and rebuild from the rubble with resilience and grace. Her key message to the listeners is: regardless of circumstances and what season of life you are in, you have the capability and power to redefine the narrative and life that you want — you don’t have to be the person you were groomed into being; you can become the person you want to be.
