Have you ever wondered if what you’re feeling is spiritual… or just your brain doing its thing? In I Awaken, hosted by Yusuf, this episode gently explores that space where science and spirituality stop arguing—and start listening.

Joined by neuroscientist Tiff Thompson, this conversation is for anyone navigating intuition, anxiety, or inner awakening. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how your nervous system and your sense of meaning can coexist—without dismissing either.
