In this episode of The Happier Life Project, we’re tackling something we all face, how to own our struggles in the areas that challenge us most. From navigating friendships and work pressures to dealing with technology overload, dating dilemmas, and toxic family environments, we cover it all.

Host Gabby Sanderson is joined by Minaa B., a licensed social worker, mental health educator, wellness coach, and author of 'Owning Our Struggles: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World'. Minaa has extensive experience in mental health, having worked in fields specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma. She’s also the founder of a mental health consulting practice, collaborates with organizations to promote psychological safety, and serves on the Mental Health Advisory Committee for Wondermind, a mental fitness company co-founded by Selena Gomez. Additionally, Minaa is the host of the podcast Mindful With Minaa, where she shares her insights on emotional wellness and healing.

Tune in to hear Gabby and Minaa explore how to face life’s challenges head-on, embrace vulnerability, and build resilience through community care. They discuss toxic productivity in the workplace, navigating difficult family dynamics, and the importance of setting boundaries online. Minaa also offers guidance on accepting our parents' flaws, handling sibling conflicts, and strengthening connections with others and ourselves.
