On this episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles chats with Janet Ettele, author, musician, and student of Buddhist teacher Khentrul Lodrö Thayé Rinpoche, about how the principle of Joyous Effort can change the way we live, work, and grow.

They dive into why living with purpose isn’t about ticking boxes or chasing external wins—it’s about how we keep showing up, with heart and intention, even when it’s hard. Janet shares her journey from Berklee College of Music to the Buddhist path, and how writing her “How Life Works” fiction series helped her bring timeless teachings into real, everyday life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, drained by spiritual buzzwords, or wondered how ancient wisdom could actually fit into your modern routine, this episode is both grounding and uplifting.

Together, John and Janet explore:

  1. Joyous Effort is not about forcing or hustling—it's a compassionate commitment to growth and presence.
  2. The Six Perfections (Paramitas) offer a practical framework for living with wisdom, generosity, and balance.
  3. Routine, repetition, and practice—often overlooked—can be sacred tools for transformation.
  4. You don’t need a monastery to practice spirituality; daily life is your training ground.
