OWNING OUR STRUGGLES

Minaa B.

The Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World

Discover the power of collective healing in this research-based and real-world guide to moving past trauma and adversity - together.

Adversity comes in many forms, and can make us feel alone in our pain, even years after the fact. But as wellness coach and licensed therapist Minaa B. observes, we can't heal in isolation. The best way to move past individual trauma is through connection and community - healing ourselves and one another.

In this powerful and practical guide, Minaa shares therapeutic tools, client stories, and actionable insights to help you on your healing journey, along with reflections from her personal experiences. Each chapter focuses on a common emotional struggle - from overcoming dysfunctional family patterns to developing emotional maturity, finding our village, navigating racial trauma, and moving past isolation and despair.

Through her unique mix of deeply honest personal stories, proven practices, and prompts for writing and reflection, Minaa helps readers finally face their struggles, get unstuck, and transform their thinking - to claim agency in their own lives and circumstances, and to use that power to help heal a broken world.

This book is a treasure. A collaborative tool for your healing journey. Minaa effortlessly weaves personal stories with deep research and hands-on exercises that feel like a bright light in a dark world. There is space, care, and a feeling of love for us to be free from trauma in the pages. A book to read slowly with a journal and pen.

Owning Our Struggles is a book that fills in so many of the gaps often present in traditional self-help books, which tend to over-emphasize the importance of 'the self' in healing, and under-estimate the importance of community and culture.

In Owning Our Struggles, Minaa B. offers the perfect blend of empowerment and compassion, helping us reframe the thought patterns that have been keeping us stuck and giving us the tools we need to own our healing.

Minaa's writing is a gift to us all. She gracefully and compassionately invites every reader to acknowledge and face confronting truths about a broken system that we live in, contribute to, and for many, often deny... This book is for every human because healing happens when we have a community upon which we can count. We don't arrive alone; we arrive with others.
