Quiet Strength and Equanimity: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World. With Margaret Cullen

What if resilience isn't about bouncing back—but about staying present through whatever life brings?

Today I sit down with Margaret Cullen, a licensed psychotherapist and a pioneer in bringing contemplative practices into mainstream settings. She’s also the author of a book called Quiet Strength, Find Peace, Feel Alive, and love Boundlessly Through the power of Equanimity.

Drawing from decades of meditation practice, compassion training at Stanford, neuroscience research, and wisdom traditions from around the world, Margaret explains why equanimity may be the missing ingredient in our pursuit of well-being. She shares how it differs from mindfulness, its relationship to compassion, and how it helps us navigate suffering, relationships, uncertainty, and the emotional ups and downs of everyday life.

Whether you're facing personal challenges, simply looking for greater balance in an increasingly reactive world, caring for a loved one, or just living this chaotic life…this conversation offers practical wisdom for cultivating a steadier heart and mind.
