This week’s episode is all about breaking the rules - really! We’ll jam on why some rules should be broken, and the importance of breaking little rules every day. Plus I’ll tell you some ways you can figure out which rules should be broken in the first place.

You will learn:

// Why some rules are worth breaking

// What “resistance calisthenics” are, and how we can apply them to our own spiritual practice

// How to discern if a rule is worth breaking

// The importance of practicing being rebellious in preparing for - and creating - profound change

// The importance of trusting our inner compass and values when deciding which rules to challenge

// Why rebellion is so complex in today’s world

// How to practice if you’re part of a vulnerable population that can’t afford to take outward risks of breaking even more trivial rules
