“I Changed My Name to Fit In”: Roxie Nafousi On Healing, Navigating Islamophobia & Manifestation

Welcome to The Making Of… a podcast by GRAZIA.

This is a space for thoughtful conversation and real insight, designed to go beyond the surface of success stories we think we already know. At a time when so much is distilled into neat soundbites, The Making Of… slows things down to explore what really happens behind the scenes.

From entrepreneurs to cultural tastemakers, personalities, and KOLs across the region and beyond, the podcast invites guests to share the parts of their journeys that don’t always make it into headlines.

In the first episode of GRAZIA’s podcast The Making Of, we sit down with Roxie Nafousi – best-selling author, self-development coach, and one of the leading voices in manifestation and mindset. Known for transforming the way people approach confidence, purpose, and personal growth, Roxie has helped thousands of people reframe their lives through her work, books, and teachings.

Today, Roxie shares the real story behind her success – from the challenges and self-doubt that shaped her journey, to the habits, discipline, and inner work that underpin manifestation beyond the buzzwords. This is an honest conversation about growth, resilience, and what it takes to create a lasting change.

This is The Making Of… Roxie Nafousi.
