Forget rigid religious routines and spiritual guilt trips! This episode is your permission slip to ditch the pressure and rediscover spiritual growth as a rhythm of grace. Michele Kus flips the script on spiritual disciplines, showing how a Rule of Life isn’t a religious blueprint or straitjacket but a Spirit-led canvas where grace gets to breathe, change, and grow with you.

Drawing from her own journey (including the evolution of this podcast!), Michele invites you to reimagine spiritual practices as flexible, life-giving rhythms that ebb and flow with your real life — not some idealized version of it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, tired, burned out, or boxed in by your spiritual “shoulds,” this episode is for you. Tune in, take a breath, and let grace lead.

Today’s Reflection Questions:

• Am I holding my Rule of Life like a blueprint to control or a rhythm to enjoy?
• What’s one part of my current rhythm that feels a little too rigid — and might need space to breathe a little more?
