About this episode

This episode is going to blow your mind and soften your heart, no matter how old you are.


Today, I'm joined by the wonderful Husna Jolay, an 18-year-old Islamic lifestyle content creator with over 300k subscribers on YouTube and 250k on Instagram.


In this heartfelt conversation, Husna candidly shares with me her journey of discovering the true meaning of Islam and deepening her connection with Islam at such a young age. She opens up about the challenges she faced, including navigating feelings of loneliness and spiritual distance despite being born Muslim, the valuable lessons she learned on her path towards faith and how she intends on becoming even closer to Allah while navigating the complexities of modern life.


Husna's story is a beautiful example of maturity and wisdom, showcasing the resilience, strength and serenity that can be found in embracing your faith.
