About Missy Duncan
Meet the Mind Behind the book:
Constructing Your Spiritual Life Without Religion

Hi. I’m Dr. Missy Duncan, author, teacher, presenter, and Metaphysican whose mission is to inspire and equip. I have enjoyed a variety of careers from college professor and high school English/Latin/Theatre teacher, to headmaster of a private school, Cast Member at Walt Disney World, insurance underwriter and home office corporate trainer, certified life coach, author, writing coach, speaker, published fiction writer, and blogger.  What do all of these experiences have in common? Those experiences reflect my desire to inspire and equip others. I deconstructed traditional religion from my life and constructed a spiritual life that works for me.  I am passionate about connecting with others who are also ‘spiritual, not religious’ through teaching, leading workshops, speaking events, my weekly blog posts,this website, and my YouTube channel, Missy Duncan PhD Official.


My website, blog posts, future podcast, Instagram, and YouTube channel highlight a variety of topics such as being 'spiritual, not religious,' deconstruction and reconstruction, "wokeness," the books I've published, classes I teach, and disrupting systems of oppression.

I proudly support women's empowerment, reproductive choice, the LGBTQIA+ communities, human rights, freedom from religion, questioning everything, and protecting / honoring nature.  I'm into Metaphysics, shadow work, justice for all, minimalism, protecting / honoring nature, conducting quality research, and writing on a variety of topics.

Constructing Your Spiritual
Life Without Religion

As the author of the soon-to-be-published book, Constructing Your Spiritual Life Without Religion, I'm curious to know this: Are you of the millions of people who have walked away from organized religion and found yourself spiritually homeless? If so, this book is the blueprint for building a new spiritual home that fits you.

Why this book?  Why now?  We are living in the age of the great unraveling.  People are quietly, painfully, and often alone walking away from the religious frameworks that, for some, once gave their lives meaning, community, and a sense of the divine.  They are asking questions churches, mosques, and temples couldn’t answer; they are sitting with doubts their traditions called dangerous and taboo, and they are discovering that the God they were either handed or observed from a distance no longer resonates.  This is deconstruction and it is everywhere. 

But, here is what no one talks about: deconstruction is not a destination. It is a demolition.  And, when the dust settles, people are left standing in the rubble of their former belief system. They may be without support for what comes next.  This is exactly where Constructing Your Spiritual Life Without Religion steps in.

I wrote this book because the cultural and spiritual movement demands it.  The fastest growing religious demographic in the world is the ‘Nones’ - those who claim no religious affiliation.  Many are not atheists or agnostics.  They are seekers without a plan. They left the religious institution but not the knowing.  They deconstructed the answers, not the questions,  They still sense that there is something, something larger, something deeper, more real and they don’t know how to access it outside the only container they ever knew. Constructing Your Spiritual Life Without Religion is the resource to assist you in building what works for you. And, I wrote it as someone who has walked this path, not as a theologian observing from a distance, but as a fellow traveller who let go of everything I was taught to believe, as someone who has sat in the wreckage, and who has found a way through. 

The world does not need another book telling people what to believe.  It needs a book that trusts people to find out for themselves, and gives them the principles to do it with suggestions and activities to help them define their own spirituality, reading shared stories of people who have left traditional religion and have constructed a spiritual life that fits them.  That book is Constructing Your Spiritual Life Without Religion. And, the time is now.
