Welcome to the Grounded podcast with your host, Dr. Iman. This is a space where the intellectual meets the spiritual. I'm a professor, scholar of religion, and someone trying to find her footing. I will introduce you to the people, discussions, and schools of thought that have changed how I see the world. Together we'll seek clarity, not in passivity or bypassing, but in intuition, critique, and imagination. Some episodes are just me reflecting on where I'm finding my footing. Others draw more closely from my own research on religion and spirituality, tracing where I've seen others find theirs. And sometimes we're joined by experts, friends, and even you, the listeners, learning with each other and seeking rootedness together.

In this episode, you can hear me talking about the very new season of life that I am in and how I'm finding grounding in abeautoful question asked by Katherine McKittrick and Eugenia Zuroski, where do you know from?

If you’re anything like me, you want your big-idea, smart podcasts to have some soul and life to them. But when you go looking for that in the more “woo-woo” corners, it can feel like everyone is promising to change your life or sell you something. And it doesn’t always feel grounded in the kind of research and intellectual work that makes spirituality feel real.

So I’ve got something for you.

Welcome to the Grounded Podcast with your host, Dr. Iman. This is a space where the intellectual meets the spiritual. I’m a professor, a scholar of religion, and someone learning how to find her footing in real time.

I’ll introduce you to the people, conversations, and schools of thought that have changed how I see the world. Together, we’ll seek clarity not through passivity or bypassing, but through intuition, critique, and imagination.

Some episodes are just me reflecting on where I’m finding my footing. Others draw from my research on religion and spirituality, tracing where I’ve seen others find theirs. And sometimes we’re joined by experts, friends, and even you, the listeners, learning with each other and seeking rootedness together.

So wherever this takes us, I’m really glad you’re here.

Let’s get grounded.
