The Spiritual Perspective
Ever wonder what the spiritual perspective is on genocide? On cheating? On getting back with your ex? On toxic people?
If so, this is your channel.
You identify as spiritual — but you’ve still got questions about how to show up in life’s messiest, most nuanced situations.
And you don’t have time for fluffy, feel-good answers that don’t hold up in the real world.
This is where you’ll find a grounded spiritual take on life’s hardest questions.
I’m Light Watkins — keynote speaker, author, and longtime meditation teacher — and every week, I share short, no-BS videos that help you zoom out, tune in, and reframe what you’re going through.
If you’re tired of surface-level advice and ready to go deeper, join me every Monday and Thursday for new episodes of The Spiritual Perspective.
Your next breakthrough might be one perspective shift away.
The Spiritual Perspective
What To Do When You’ve Outgrown a Friendship
You’ve been feeling off around someone you used to feel close with. The connection feels forced. You’re drained after every interaction. So naturally, the question comes up: Should I cut them off?
In this episode, we explore a deeper, more empowering alternative to cutting people out of your life. Because from a spiritual perspective, the goal isn’t just to protect your peace—it’s to grow into your full authenticity. And that often means asking a better question.
You’ll hear a personal story about spiritual bypassing, how unspoken resentment forms when we aren’t honest with ourselves, and why some of the most uncomfortable relationships can become powerful teachers—if we let them.
We’ll also unpack how your growth can shift relationships without blame or guilt, and why you don’t have to force clarity. When you stop holding back who you are, the people in your life will either rise to meet you—or naturally move on.
This isn’t about ghosting, judging, or avoiding tough conversations. It’s about learning how to live from a place of truth.
And in that place, you don’t have to cut anyone off. You just have to stop cutting yourself off.
