Minal Hajratwala (they/she) has been coaching authors since the 2009 publication of their first book, Leaving India: My Family’s Journey From Five Villages to Five Continents, which was called “incomparable” by Alice Walker and “searingly honest” by the Washington Post. It won a Pen USA Award, an Asian American Writers Workshop Award, a Lambda Literary Award, and a California Book Award.

Minal is also the author of a poetry collection, Bountiful Instructions for Enlightenment, and a travel guidebook, Moon Fiji. In 2010-11 they spent a year as a Fulbright-Nehru Senior Scholar in Mumbai, then moved to Bangalore for six years. While in India, they edited a groundbreaking anthology, Out! Stories from the New Queer India, and co-founded a poetry press, The (Great) Indian Poetry Collective, which published nine books by emerging poets.

As a journalist, Minal was most recently an editor-at-large at Zócalo Public Square during the first year of the pandemic. She started her career as an intern reporter-researcher at TIME magazine. In the 1990s, she ran the Sunday Perspective section of the San Jose Mercury News.

A turning point came in 2000, when Minal was awarded a yearlong National Arts Journalism Program fellowship at Columbia University. She enjoyed a practicum with Jessica Hagedorn’s Dogeaters production at The Public Theater, and she took the j-school’s renowned Book Seminar, where she wrote a  proposal that resulted in a six-figure book contract with a major publisher.

Minal spent seven years researching and writing the book that became Leaving India, traveling the world to interview more than 75 members of her extended family. The writing was often difficult, and in hindsight, those seven years were an intensive study of craft, writer’s block, internalized oppression, and how to develop one’s own supportive writing community. Since publishing Leaving India to critical acclaim, Minal has turned their knowledge and editorial expertise toward supporting other writers as a coach and teacher.

That's a great question that may pop in your head as we spend time together.
The short answer to that question is I have no idea!
My "formula" is very simple: You speak! I listen! we create!

If you're looking for me to "save" you or be a crutch, you're at the wrong place.
You bring the agenda to our conversations, I don't have any templates, scripts, swipe files, slide decks, thumb drives,
crystals, tarot cards, and anything else you can think of.
YOU are the template!

There are things in your life that you want that you don't have at the moment.
Please know that it is accessible to you always and it's your choice to receive it.
With that said, recurring themes that come up with people I've worked with are challenges relating to self-confidence, increasing their client base, and gaining clarity on their next steps in their lives and businesses.

Our work together is going to pull you into a field of possibility but we aren't going to simply stay there.
We're going to test things out and experiment.
You're not going to stay on the sidelines hoping and wishing for things to be different in your life and/or business,
YOU are going to take inspired, impactful actions to create what you truly want.
Together we'll explore what drives you to succeed and what is getting in your way of having what you really want.

I'm talking about the secret goal that you may be embarrassed about or have condemned as impossible.
By never getting what you truly want, you're safe from ever having to lay it all on the line.
The path of taking inspired action is our compass, we are playing and winning.
Our work together means there's no judgment, there is only curiosity and exploration.

We'll explore how your internal commitments and beliefs influence your external experience of results and achievements.
We'll find out what inspires and excites you so that we can remove
the time zappers and energy drainers that don't serve you.

Our work together will take the highest priority in your life because we are creating success for that:
YOUR LIFE!

We don't have time to waste time, let's take your life seriously and have fun doing so.

Justice work and oppression leave their marks on our bodies and impact our relationship with our bodies. It is far too common that justice work depletes us and pushes us to burnout. And when we are under immense pressure it can often feel like we lose parts of ourselves to the stress and trauma. It may feel like racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism take parts of us away too.

But just as oppression is learned through our bodies, it must be unlearned through our bodies as well. Somatic coaching helps you work with your body through mindful attention, mindful breathing, and mindful movement. Somatic coaching can help you build a healthy, sustainable, embodied activism. To rest, to refuel, to heal, to take new shapes - these are acts of reclamation and resistance.

I've been working with people from all walks of life including entrepreneurs, business leaders, creatives, students, and even coaches to rewrite their life's story. They come to coaching because they sense they're on the threshold of a life changing or transformative moment.

They intuitively know their current situation, personally and professionally, is no longer providing the sense of fulfillment, joy and aliveness it once did. The trouble is seeing the full range of limiting stories that are keeping them stuck in a way of living.

What they're looking for is a fresh start. A new way of looking at their life's story. A new chapter with a world of possibilities for themselves, others and their world. And they realize they can't do it alone.

What do you want your story to be?

What did you achieve in your career or business?

What did you accomplish in your relationships?

How did you manage your health and well-being?

Where did you find purpose, fulfillment and meaning?

What impact did you have on those around you and the world as a whole?

How will coaching help you?

If you are naturally creative, resourceful and whole, and you have everything you need to create the next great chapter of your life, why would you need a certified coach?

You maybe able to make changes in your own life, however they are typically small, slow and hyper-focused on specific areas of your life.

With the support of a competent coach, you could experience shifts that transform all domains of your life. It's the difference between making tweaks or deciding to write a completely new story.
