Healing in Our Own Way

Indigenous Wisdom for Mental Wellness, Emotional Balance, and Inner Strength

By: Wade Boeckmann

Narrated by: Myriam Berger

Healing in Our Own Way offers a grounded, compassionate approach to mental wellness one that honors lived experience, culture, and connection rather than quick fixes or rigid formulas.

Many people feel unseen in mainstream mental health conversations. They are offered labels, timelines, or solutions that do not reflect the realities of their lives. This book begins from a different understanding: that emotional well-being is shaped by relationships, environment, history, and daily experience not personal failure.

Drawing from Indigenous-informed perspectives, this book reframes healing as relational, cyclical, and deeply human. It explores how emotional distress often makes sense when viewed through context, how balance grows through awareness rather than control, and how strength can exist without constant struggle.

Inside, you’ll discover:

Why emotional pain carries meaning beyond diagnoses or symptoms

How healing unfolds through connection to self, community, and environment

Gentle ways to rebuild self-trust after long periods of coping

A redefinition of strength that includes rest, patience, and care

How to remain grounded while fully participating in daily life

This book does not tell you what to fix or who to become. It offers understanding, perspective, and space allowing healing to unfold at its own pace.

Narrator brings the warmth

Myriam Berger's voice is soothing yet strong she makes the Indigenous-informed ideas feel personal and accessible. The chapters on rebuilding self-trust after years of just surviving hit home hard. I've listened twice already.

No quick fixes, just real understanding

This isn't another self-help book promising overnight results. It honors that healing is cyclical and tied to our histories and daily lives. The practical insights on staying grounded in everyday chaos are subtle but transformative. Five stars for authenticity.

Insightful and Empowering Audiobook

Instead of prescribing rigid solutions, it invites you to discover what truly works for you. The approach is warm and non-judgmental, encouraging you to honor your own pace and process. I appreciated how it blends wisdom with actionable insight, making healing feel approachable rather than overwhelming.

Finally, a book that gets it

This audiobook spoke directly to my experiences as someone who's always felt out of place in therapy. The way it frames emotional pain as meaningful rather than something broken changed everything for me. Myriam Berger's narration is calm and grounding perfect for this material. Highly recommend.

Connection over isolation

What stood out most was the emphasis on healing through relationships with self, community, and even the environment. As someone who's felt disconnected, this audiobook reminded me that wellness isn't solitary. It's compassionate without being preachy.
