What happens when a meditation retreat unveils a hidden ancestral truth—and transforms how we understand peace itself? In this intimate conversation, Dr. Habib welcomes psychotherapist, meditation teacher, and author Margaret Cullen, whose upcoming book Quiet Strength: Find Peace, Feel Alive, and Love Boundlessly Through the Power of Equanimity explores the heart of balance amid life’s joys and sorrows.

Margaret shares the extraordinary story of discovering her rabbinical lineage through a powerful spiritual vision, how Buddhist practice became the living expression of that heritage, and why equanimity is not detachment but a dynamic dance of resilience, compassion, and humor. Together, she and Dr. Habib reflect on mysticism, the healing of mother wounds, and the possibility of living with an open heart—even when it’s breaking.

This episode includes a short equanimity practice at 46:30. Enjoy!
