Last updated 9th Jun 2025
Earlier this year, manifesting queen and motivational speaker Roxie Nafousi launched her Rayo Original podcast RISE with Roxie.
Following the success of her bestselling book Manifest, which sold over one million copies globally, the podcast sees Roxie speaking to some of the biggest names in health, wellbeing and entertainment to explore times of rising through adversity in their lives. It’s all about learning how to transform your life and step into your best self, so you can ultimately ‘rise up’.
