Roxie Nafousi

Narrator

Roxie Nafousi is a British self-development author, manifesting coach, and speaker who has become one of the most prominent voices in modern self-help, bringing a fresh, accessible approach to personal development and manifesting. Of Iraqi-Kurdish heritage and based in London, Nafousi has been open about her own journey through anxiety,... depression, and self-destructive behaviour — experiences that give her writing authenticity and emotional resonance. She studied at the University of Leeds and worked in fashion PR before transitioning to wellness and personal development. Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life (2022) was a publishing phenomenon — a number one Sunday Times bestseller that spent months on the charts and resonated with readers who found its practical, grounded approach to manifesting more accessible than the genre's more esoteric offerings. Rather than magical thinking, Nafousi frames manifesting around actionable steps including gratitude, raising your vibration, overcoming fear, and building self-worth. Confidence (2024) builds on this foundation, tackling one of the most universal human struggles with the same blend of personal honesty, practical advice, and warm encouragement that made Manifest such a hit. Nafousi's strength is making self-development feel achievable and non-judgmental. She writes with warmth and directness, and her personal vulnerability makes her advice feel earned rather than preachy. The audiobook editions of Nafousi's books are particularly powerful — hearing her narrate her own journey adds intimacy and connection. Her books and audiobooks are perfect for anyone looking for practical, grounded personal development with real heart. Read more Show less
