In this episode, I share how my relationship with God transformed after walking away from Christianity and, later, embracing Islam.
I didn’t leave Christianity for Islam. I left because something felt wrong. The worship felt like performance. The Trinity never made sense. And the emotional highs of church didn’t bring lasting connection with God.
Years later, Islam gave me the clarity I had been searching for: one God, no middlemen, no confusion - just real worship.
In this episode, I talk about: • Why my “faith” in Christianity felt emotionally charged but spiritually disconnected • The difference between church worship and Islamic worship • How sujood (prostration) humbled me and brought real closeness to God • Why Christians say “you were never really saved” when you question their beliefs • And what I discovered when I stopped performing and started submitting
This is for anyone questioning their connection to God, stuck between confusion and clarity.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
