Roxie Nafousi is a self-development coach, Sunday Times bestselling author, podcaster and Mental Health Ambassador. Her book 'Manifest' instantly sold out and gave her the title as the manifesting queen- drawing on her own experiences and struggles and how she transformed her life through the powers of manifesting. She is committed to transforming the lives of people who suffer emotional and mental health issues and does this through her workshops, talks, podcast and media content contributions.
In this episode we delve into the Sliding Doors moments that have shaped her life. Roxie opens up about her struggles as a child that led her to the decision to change her name to Roxie- which ultimately was a decision that changed her life forever. We chat all about how the timing of starting her 'Agony Aunt Sundays', couldn't have been more perfect in starting the journey to where she is now. And of course, we discuss THAT book deal, that nearly could have been totally different for Roxie, if she hadn't followed her gut and the stars aligned!
