With Hardship Comes Ease – Illness, Surrender & the Return to Oneness
In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Habib sits with interfaith minister and author Liza Rankow, whose book Soul Medicine for a Fractured World explores the healing that emerges from our deepest fractures.
Together they reflect on:
Illness as a spiritual teacher
Woundedness and wholeness as two sides of the same coin
The Japanese art of Kintsugi as a metaphor for the soul
Suffering as a “discipline of the Spirit” (in the lineage of Howard Thurman)
The choice to open—or close—in the face of pain
How personal healing becomes medicine for the world
From Crohn’s disease and near-death experiences to mystical union, surrender, and the return to our inner child, this episode is an honest exploration of how hardship can clear away the veils that keep us from Love.
