In this solo episode of Live OUT Loud, Michele explores the tender and transformative nature of devotion, not as performance, but as quiet, daily practice. What does it mean to be devoted to something or someone when there’s no audience? How do we honor what matters most, not because we should, but because our soul says yes? Michele gently unpacks how we’ve been conditioned to tie devotion to religion, romance, or self-sacrifice—and invites us to reclaim devotion as an act of presence, self-trust, and deep integrity. Through personal reflections, soulful questions, and honest examples from her own life, Michele invites you into a softer, more sustainable form of devotion that allows for imperfection, honors your rhythms, and welcomes you back when you forget. This is an episode for anyone who’s learning how to stay close to what matters—even in the silence. ✨ Topics include:
What devotion looks like when no one’s watching
Reframing devotion outside of religious or romantic frameworks
The difference between devotion and self-abandonment
How to return to your practice without shame Whether you're in a season of clarity or confusion, this conversation will meet you where you are—and invite you to move just one step closer to what feels most true. 🌀 Come for the redefinition. Stay for the reconnection.
Thanks for listening! Let me know what you thought.
We love you!
