Listen Later

In this bite-sized episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light shares a powerful "Plot Twist" moment from a past conversation with Manoj Dias, a mindfulness and meditation teacher who experienced a life-changing transformation.

Manoj was on the fast track to success, working in marketing and climbing the corporate ladder. But behind the scenes, he was struggling. The pressures of his career, personal life, and a non-stop lifestyle eventually led to a panic attack that brought his world crashing down. What followed was a challenging journey through depression, addiction, and anxiety, as he desperately tried to hold it all together.

In this episode, Manoj reflects on the moment when everything shifted for him — the plot twist that changed the course of his life. After hitting rock bottom, a chance encounter with a meditation teacher opened the door to healing and self-discovery. Manoj talks openly about his struggles, his search for meaning, and how mindfulness helped him rebuild his life from the inside out.

Listeners will hear how even the toughest moments in life can turn into opportunities for growth and transformation. This episode is a reminder that plot twists aren’t setbacks — they’re often detours that lead us exactly where we need to go.

Tune in for an inspiring and relatable story that shows how mindfulness and meditation can help anyone overcome life's toughest challenges. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, or uncertainty, this episode offers valuable insights into finding peace and purpose.
