Faith, Identity & the Inner Work We Avoid

Описание: In this deeply reflective and refreshingly honest conversation, Laila sits down with her father to unpack what it really means to reconnect with faith in a modern world shaped by ego, judgment, and noise.

Together, they explore how faith can serve as an anchor for identity rather than a set of rigid rules, and how ego often disguises itself as certainty, pride, or moral superiority. The discussion moves through the nuances of prayer versus meditation, highlighting intention, presence, and surrender as common ground between the two.

They also dive into the power of compassion, forgiveness, and community—challenging the idea that faith should divide rather than unite. With a strong focus on self-exploration, this episode speaks directly to the younger generation, encouraging them to question, reflect, and choose faith (or spirituality) as a personal journey rather than an inherited label.

This episode isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about creating space—for curiosity, humility, healing, and peace—and reminding listeners that faith, when stripped of ego, can be a powerful guide back to purpose and inner calm.

Perfect for anyone navigating identity, spirituality, or the tension between belief and self-growth.
