In this episode, I speak with Amanda Quraishi, aka Q, about her life journey through numerous religious and spiritual communities. We walk through the sensitive territory of leaving a cult in her youth, exploring various spiritual paths, and becoming a Muslim interfaith activist in the post-9/11 United States.
Q shares her candid struggles with mental health, the challenges of representing Islam for several decades, and how she endured and came out of intense burnout from community activism. Q discusses the complexities of navigating spirituality in a modern context, her struggles with spiritual identity, and how she now embraces sitting in peace with the ambiguity of life. We discuss ways in which Q found herself again after intense introspection and healing work and how she practices self-care and connection with others.
Amanda Quraishi, aka Q, is a writer from Austin, Texas.
