The Spiritual Perspective

What does it mean to be yourself (from the Spiritual Perspective)

Light Watkins

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 quietly calling out all along.

Plus, Light shares a powerful retelling of Rosa Parks’ quiet act of courage—and how that is what it looks like to truly be yourself, even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-expression, people-pleasing, or feeling out of alignment, this one’s for you.
