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.

We’ve all dealt with toxic people.
The narcissists. The manipulators. The gaslighters. The ones who drain your energy and leave you questioning everything.
So we do what we’ve been taught: Set boundaries. Cut them off. Stay away.
Because toxic people never change, right?
But what if we’ve been thinking about this all wrong?
What if the real issue isn’t about who’s toxic—but rather the dynamic you have with them?
Think about it like this: Every relationship has an expiration date. And when you keep engaging past that expiration date, things start to go sour.
You feel drained. Annoyed. Resentful. Not because they’re toxic—but because you didn’t respect your limit.
In today’s Spiritual Perspective, I’m offering a completely different way to think about so-called toxic people and why protecting your peace isn’t about changing them, but about recognizing when the connection has expired.
If you’ve ever struggled with difficult people in your life, this episode is for you.
