In this conversation, Susan reflects on listening as both a vocation and a sanctuary. Together, we explore why deep listening is so difficult, how trust is cultivated in relationships, and how attentive listening can become a place of transformation. This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down and become more attentive to the quiet voice of God in everyday life.
