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.

How to Give Honest Feedback (Without Them Getting Triggered)
Giving feedback is one of the most delicate things we do in relationships — especially when we care. Say it wrong, and you risk hurting someone or driving them away. Say nothing, and resentment builds. So how do you speak up without making things worse?
In this episode, Light shares a 5-step spiritual framework for expressing what’s on your mind in a way that actually strengthens connection. Whether it’s a partner, a friend, or a coworker, you’ll learn how to navigate those uncomfortable conversations with care, clarity, and compassion — so that what you say is actually heard.
This isn’t about being right. It’s about being real… without causing harm.
