Meet Mia Love: Finally Unmasked is a real talk conversation about what happens when you stop performing and start leading from the truth.

In this episode of Undaunted Voices, Mia Love shares her journey of being high achieving on the outside while quietly carrying the weight of masking, mislabels, burnout, and the pressure to stay palatable. We get into the cost of over functioning, dopamine chasing, and how “success” can still feel like survival when you are not operating from alignment.

You will hear what finally cracked the script, what boundaries and systems actually supported the shift, and how Mia rebuilt her life and leadership style when she stopped explaining herself and started honoring how she is wired.

Expect honesty, humor, and a few mic drop moments.

In this episode, we cover:

• The hidden impact of masking on identity, confidence, and relationships

• Misdiagnosis, burnout patterns, and the productivity trap

• Dopamine chasing and why willpower is not the strategy

• How to build support systems that protect your energy and your standards

• What “unmasked” leadership looks like in real life

If you have ever felt like you are doing the most and still not reaching the next level, this one is for you.
