From the Archive: Manifesting: Real or B.S.? Get The Spiritual Perspective
Manifesting gets a bad rap—mostly because people slap random stuff on a vision board and expect “the universe” to deliver like Amazon Prime.Here’s the truth: There’s no hard scientific proof that manifesting works.But—there is research showing how your attention might be shaping your reality without you even realizing it.And here’s where most people go off the rails when attempting to manifest:They focus too much on making life cushier.They put too much faith in affirmations.They ignore the one factor that separates daydreaming from actually making sh*t happen.Oh, and they completely misinterpret the Law of Attraction.I don’t want you stuck in a spiritually immature approach to manifesting, wondering why it’s not working.So this week on The Spiritual Perspective, I’m breaking down what manifesting really is—and how to make it actually work for you.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

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.More info on books, coaching and Light's work: https://www.lightwatkins.com/Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

From The Archive: The Only Insurance That Money Can't Buy: Get the Spiritual Perspective
Life can change in an instant—sometimes in ways we hope for, like meeting the right person or finding new opportunities, and sometimes in ways we dread, like losing a home or facing heartbreak. Change is the only constant, and no amount of financial security can shield us from the emotional and spiritual challenges that come with it.This week’s Spiritual Perspective explores the concept of “inner insurance”—a form of resilience that money can’t buy but is crucial for navigating life’s twists and turns.Here’s what we cover:Why true security comes from within, not from external stability.The hidden value of life’s hardest moments for spiritual growth.How simple daily practices, like meditation or gratitude, build the inner strength to handle anything.Think of it like physical fitness: just as consistent exercise prepares you for physical challenges, inner work prepares you for life’s uncertainties. The beauty is, your “insurance payment” can be as small as a few minutes a day—a walk, a kind act, or a moment of stillness.So, what’s your inner insurance plan? Are you making those daily investments, or could this perspective inspire a shift?Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!
