Episode Synopsis

Dr. Habīb welcomes spiritual director and emotional-integration practitioner Nina Lau-Branson for a deeply compassionate exploration of the inner life. Nina shares her powerful spiritual story — from growing up in a Chinese immigrant family, to a midlife awakening that led her away from corporate achievement and into a 15-year contemplative “wilderness,” and eventually into transformative work with emotional integration.Together, Dr. Habīb and Nina explore:How early experiences shape our image of GodThe sacred role emotions play in our spiritual growthWhy no emotion is “good” or “bad” — and how each carries intelligenceWhat happens when communities suppress emotional expressionThe path to reclaiming the freedom and authenticity we see in sacred storiesHow contemplative practices, silence, and presence support emotional and spiritual healingThis conversation invites you to welcome all parts of your humanity — body, mind, spirit, and emotion — as companions on the journey home to yourself and to the Divine. Support the showTo make an appointment with Dr. Habib, visit https://www.habibboerger.com/.
