Still believe in something, but low-key side-eye the universe about how your life has gone? Maybe you grew up praying before dinner, going to church, doing all the “right” things…and then life did what it did anyway. A parent died. A relationship blew up. You got hit with stuff that made you feel more angry than inspired. You don’t hate the idea of faith, exactly. You just don’t know what to do with all of it now.
On Khloé in Wonder Land, host Khloé Kardashian opens up about her own complicated relationship with belief and spirituality. Through her story, she shares practical ways to reconnect when you feel lost, angry, or unsure where to begin.
You don’t have to ‘do it right’
“Faith is not always something that can be put into words,” Kardashian says. “Faith in my opinion is something that you really feel.” And that’s the heart of her message: faith isn’t a performance. “Truly, all you need to do is speak and talk,” she explains. “There’s no wrong way to pray.”
A lot of us need to hear that. So many people grew up thinking prayer had to sound polished or poetic, like there was some invisible rubric you had to score well on. Which is wild, because most adults today don’t connect with faith in that buttoned-up way anymore. The vibe has shifted. People journal instead of recite. They talk to the universe on walks. They whisper tiny hope-filled sentences before bed. It’s still faith—just in a language that feels like them.
Kardashian treats prayer like a casual check-in instead of a ceremony. She admits she doesn’t want her prayers to be “robotic,” because reading something off a script doesn’t give her the same grounding she gets from just…talking. Most days, her prayers are five-minute, free-flowing conversations where she rambles, reflects, vents, asks for help, or just processes out loud. And honestly, that’s the whole point. You don’t have to “do it right” to reconnect. You don’t need a perfect posture or perfect mood or perfect words. You just start wherever you are, in whatever voice you actually use when you’re being real.
It’s okay to be angry
“When my dad died, I was very angry with God,” Kardashian says. “I remember I would still have conversations with God, but they were me yelling at God like, ‘Why did you do this to me? My dad was the best.’”
What many of us don’t realize is that anger counts as connection too. Grief isn’t tidy. It doesn’t show up in soft lighting with calm music. Sometimes it comes out as shouting into the void, or asking questions you know don’t have answers, or saying the things you feel guilty for even thinking. And none of that disqualifies you. “If you’re angry, if you’re going through something, don’t be afraid to even have those arguments with God,” she says. “You have to get these feelings out.”
Truthfully, it doesn’t even matter what you believe in—the point still stands. Bottled-up feelings don’t disappear. They leak out sideways. They turn into anxiety, resentment, shutdown mode, or that random crying spell you can’t explain. Letting yourself feel angry, confused, or hurt is part of healing, not a detour from it.
Start small and stay curious
After sitting with the hard feelings, Kardashian encourages people to experiment with whatever does make them feel connected—not in a religious sense, but in a human one. “I find my faith in nature or music or staring at my children, the roof over my head,” she says. Connection doesn’t have to look like kneeling, chanting, or following some movie-level prayer. Sometimes it’s as simple as noticing something that pulls you out of your head and back into your body.
She also talks about easing into it instead of going all-in overnight. Think micro-steps. Think dipping a toe instead of cannonballing into a belief system you’re not even sure about yet. Even something small, like starting your morning by acknowledging one thing you’re grateful for, can shift your internal weather. “When you start your day being thankful for your day…from the biggest things to the smallest things,” she explains, the whole tone of the day changes.
And you don’t have to limit yourself to one practice. “There’s just so many different avenues to connect with your faith these days,” Kardashian says. For some people it’s meditation or time outside. For others it’s playlists, movement, community, or quiet moments alone. The point isn’t to pick the “right” path. It’s to explore what actually helps you feel grounded, supported, or even just a little less tangled inside.
