If you’ve been thinking about signing up for a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat—especially as your first experience with meditation—this episode might give you a perspective you haven’t heard before. I’ve been meditating for over 25 years and have had a daily practice for more than 20 of those years. While I’m not against retreats or Vipassana itself, I’ve seen some patterns emerge that raise a few important red flags—particularly for beginners. In this episode, I walk t...

Why does life still feel hard... even when you're doing all the “right” things? You’re meditating. You’re journaling. You’re doing the therapy. And yet—something still feels off. Like you’re carrying tension you can’t shake. Or like you’ve hit a spiritual plateau. In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, we take a brutally honest look at the version of “ease” that most of us have been taught to chase—especially in the spiritual and self-improvement space. You’ll hear how chasing the wro...

When a popular spiritual podcaster claimed that Spirit told him to go on a dating app—and eventually impregnate someone outside his marriage—it sparked outrage across the wellness community. But this episode isn’t about judging his choices. It’s about what our reactions reveal about us. From projection and moral superiority to spiritual bypassing and purpose distraction, we’re unpacking the deeper truths behind the scandal—and how to use moments like these to expand awareness instead of leak ...

Today’s Spiritual Perspective is for the guys—the spiritual guys. Not the performative “nice guys,” But the men who genuinely try to show up—with heart, presence, and integrity. And yet, when things end, something unexpected happens: The story that gets told about you doesn’t quite match the truth you lived. Suddenly, you’re the narcissist. The one who was emotionally unavailable. The one who didn’t want to grow. Or worse… It’s a confusing—and often painful—experience. Especially when yo...

You’ve probably heard the phrase by now—let them leave, let them disappoint you, let them talk. It’s the core of Mel Robbins’s viral Let Them theory. And while it sounds empowering on the surface, many spiritual seekers are finding themselves conflicted by it. Is “letting them” an act of strength… or avoidance? In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, we explore what most people miss when they try to apply “let them” in real life. We talk about the illusion of control, the discomfort of...

You’ve heard the advice a thousand times: “Just be yourself.” But what does that actually mean—especially when you feel misunderstood, lonely, or like you don’t have power over your own life? In this episode, Light breaks down the real meaning of “being yourself” from a spiritual perspective. You’ll learn the difference between your impulses and your inner truth, why being authentic might cost you something (but will give you even more), and how to access the deeper part of you that’s been q...

If you've ever struggled to explain your beliefs without sounding vague, defensive, or “woo-woo,” you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking directly to those who identify as spiritual but not religious—and offering a grounded way to talk about it. You might believe in God, Source, the Universe, Nature, or a higher intelligence. But how do you share that with others—especially when you're the only one in your family or friend group walking this path? How do you stay true to your spiritu...

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—checking all the boxes—but still end up stuck in the same patterns of frustration, anxiety, or overwhelm? In this episode, I break down why life feels so hard sometimes and how the way we see our challenges can either keep us trapped or set us free. We’ll explore the difference between operating at ground level—where every problem feels like a crisis—and learning to rise above the chessboard to see the bigger picture. You’ll learn: Why success a...

How do you show up as a spiritual person in a world designed to keep you afraid? In this episode, I break down the hidden dynamics behind today’s media landscape—the sensational headlines, the emotional rollercoasters, and the echo chambers we can all get stuck in. But instead of telling you to bury your head in the sand, I offer a different approach: one that helps you stay informed without losing your center. We’ll explore how to hold multiple truths at once, how to navigate clickbait cultu...

We’ve all been there. You’re going through something hard. And someone hits you with: “Everything happens for a reason.” Or… “Stay positive vibe.” Or… “You just need to let it go.” And in that moment, instead of feeling seen, you feel… dismissed. Like your pain didn’t get the memo that we’re all supposed to be enlightened now. In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, we’re talking about bypassing—specifically, how to recognize it without becoming the bypasser yourself. Because here’s the thing: ...

What if the guidance you’ve been waiting for… has already shown up? But you missed it—because it didn’t look or sound the way you expected. What if that gut feeling? That perfectly-timed coincidence? That quiet voice in the middle of chaos? What if that was your spirit guide? But then again… What even is a spirit guide? And how can you tell if it’s real—or just something you made up? This week on The Spiritual Perspective, we’re exploring a different way to think about connection, gui...

You’ve asked nicely. You’ve asked not-so-nicely. You’ve journaled, meditated, and maybe even forwarded them that one relationship reel. But somehow, your partner still isn’t getting the hint. It’s like they’re resistant to changing. And they get defensive or shut down whenever you bring it up. You’re left wondering… Is it me? Is it them? Or is this just how we are together? Can I do this for the rest of my life?? In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, we’re diving into what to do whe...

We like to think of ourselves as rational. We believe in equality, respect, and decency. And we assume that any reasonable person would agree with us. That’s what makes it so frustrating when someone doesn’t, especially when they follow someone like Andrew Tate. We shake our heads. We roll our eyes. We say, “How could anyone believe that?!” But here’s a hard truth: The people who follow him— they’re not crazy. They’re just programmed differently. In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, we...

Do you feel like life isn’t giving you what you truly deserve? We’re told never to settle, to go after the best, and to believe we’re worthy of exactly what we desire. But if that’s the case… why does it so often feel like we’re getting less than we deserve? Is something missing? Or do we just need to be more patient? What if the real reason you’re not getting what you deserve has nothing to do with manifesting, affirmations, or even luck? In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, I’m breaking do...

When infidelity strikes, the first instinct might be to leave, but is it really that straightforward? In this episode, we delve into why people cheat, the societal expectations around betrayal, and the deeper issues of communication and values in relationships. Discover how understanding the true reasons behind infidelity can lead to more genuine connections and personal growth, whether you choose to stay or leave.

You think you're being rational, fair, and coming from a good place—but what if your ego is secretly running the show? The ego is sneaky. It disguises itself as confidence, self-righteousness, and even ‘speaking your truth.’ It convinces you that you’re the reasonable one, while everyone else is being irrational. But if your conversations keep ending in defensiveness, tension, or disconnection, there’s a good chance your ego is in the driver’s seat. In this episode, we’re breaking down ...

When was the last time fear stopped you from doing something? Maybe it told you that if you fail, your life is over. Or that if you step outside your comfort zone, disaster will strike. And let’s be honest—fear feels real. After all, bad things do happen. People lose money. Relationships fall apart. Risks sometimes backfire. So we play it safe. We listen to the fear. We let it control our decisions. But here’s the problem: Fear isn’t logical. It’s not based on actual risk—it’s based on wh...

Why does life feel so unfair? The hardest workers don’t always succeed. The kindest people often get taken advantage of. And those who deserve love the most sometimes end up alone—while cheaters and manipulators seem to thrive. It’s easy to conclude that life is unfair, but compared to what? From a spiritual perspective, fairness isn’t measured by material success, relationships, or comfort. It’s measured by growth. Life doesn’t punish or reward—it teaches. The struggles, setbacks, and diffic...
