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 Dark Side of Hustle Culture
In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, I’m pulling back the curtain on the dark side of hustle culture. We’re living in a time where everything—our time, our attention, even our personal lives—is being monetized. And the message we get is clear: if you just work harder, earn more, and achieve more, then you’ll finally feel fulfilled.
But in my experience, it doesn’t work that way. I’ve seen plenty of people (myself included) hit the big milestones—money, relationships, recognition—and still feel anxious, empty, or restless. That’s because true fulfillment doesn’t come from stacking accomplishments. It comes from building a steady inner life.
In this conversation, I’ll share the one trait I’ve noticed in every truly fulfilled person I’ve met, and how you can develop it without quitting your job or neglecting your responsibilities. It’s a small shift that changes everything.
If your life looks great on the outside but feels off on the inside, this episode is for you.
