In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Dr. Habīb Boerger is joined by healer, teacher, and author Debra Mastura Graugnard for a journey into awakening, embodiment, and healing the sacred feminine.

• What it means to experience “everything is love”
• How trauma and self-soothing shape our relationship with food and our bodies
• The deep connection between fear, food, and feminine power
• The healing process of CARITAS and the path from clarity to sovereignty
• How embodiment, nervous system safety, and spiritual remembrance restore us to our true selves
• The higher calling of the feminine—and how it invites all of us into collective evolution

In this rich and heartfelt conversation, Dr. Habib sits down with psychotherapist-turned-spiritual-healer and painter Yasmine Rahmana Cindy Libman to explore the transformative power of creativity.
