In this episode, I sit down with Tunmise and Tom, the founders of Pledge Tao, for a conversation that is real, raw, inspiring, and deeply wholesome.

What began as a genuine friendship naturally evolved into a shared vision: To build something meaningful, intentional, and supportive in a city where connection doesn’t always come easily.

From that alignment, Pledge Tao was born.

We dive into their full journey, how they met, how the idea took shape, and the meaning behind the name. 

We unpack why it’s called Pledge Tao, what “Tao” truly represents, and how those values are embedded into everything they’re building.

Pledge Tao is built on three core pillars: fitness, community, and clothing and what stands out most is the depth of intention, effort, and care they pour into each one.

Beyond training, they recognised how lonely life in Dubai can be, and made it their mission to create a space where people feel supported, connected, and part of something bigger than themselves.

They share the behind-the-scenes reality of building a community while balancing full-time 9–5 jobs, the challenges, sacrifices, lessons, and some genuinely funny moments along the way.

The recording itself felt incredibly wholesome, filled with honesty, laughter, and a sense of shared purpose that made the conversation flow effortlessly.

We also talk about the future of Pledge Tao, a vision that goes far beyond Dubai. They see it as an international community, grounded in the same values, commitment, and desire to deliver meaningful impact across all three pillars.

A powerful conversation about friendship, purpose, consistency, and what it really takes to build something authentic, from the ground up.

Grab your cup of tea, cocoa, or any drink you love, today we’re sitting down for a warm and honest life update. 🤍

In this new solo episode, I feel so different from the last time I spoke to you. I’m calmer, more grounded, and finally moving into a space of true peace. 

These past weeks took me to one of the lowest moments I’ve had in a long time… but they also taught me how to protect my peace and take my power back.

I share exactly what helped me shift my mindset, reconnect with myself, and regain clarity. It’s raw, vulnerable, and deeply personal, because healing isn’t pretty, but it’s real.

I also open up about my first ever event, THIS IS ME, my honest reflections, what went well, what challenged me, and why today I feel so incredibly grateful and blessed for everything it became.

And to the people who supported me through the roughest days…

you know who you are.

Thank you for keeping my head up when I didn’t have the strength to do it alone. I’m truly blessed for my close circle. I LOVE YOU ALL. 🤍

This episode is about low moments, healing, peace, power, and gratitude.

It’s the most unfiltered version of me and I hope it speaks to your heart.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Aaliyah Nooru, a Holistic Transformation Specialist who helps people heal subconscious trauma and manifest the life they truly desire.Aaliyah opens up about her powerful personal journey, from shifting careers, to discovering her curiosity around manifestation, to realising that everything begins within. Her introduction to manifestation wasn’t through trends or books… it came from navigating her own healing and facing her own subconscious wounds.In this conversation, Aaliyah breaks down the real truth about manifestation:

✨ Why manifestation doesn’t work when it comes from fear, lack, or unhealed trauma

✨ How the subconscious mind is the foundation of everything we call in

✨ Why healing is the missing step everyone overlooks

✨ How embodiment and belief are the keys to manifesting your dream life

✨ And how she became the evidence of her own teachings by manifesting the life she lives today.

This episode is inspiring, eye-opening, and deeply grounding.If you’ve ever wondered why manifestation isn’t “working” for you or if you’re ready to create a life that feels aligned, abundant, and authentic, this one is for you.

I hope it brings you clarity, truth, and a fresh perspective on what it really takes to manifest the life of your dreams.Connect with Aaliyah:

She’s back after one full year , and everything has changed.
Mariah returns to the podcast as a married woman, now living in Dubai, and fully stepping into her purpose as a relationship and trauma-healing mentor for women.

In today’s episode, and I don’t say this lightly, we talk GOLD.

We dive deep into values:

• Why women lose their values when they haven’t healed

• How childhood wounds, patterns, and emotional conditioning show up in relationships

• The exact moment you abandon yourself without realising it• How to rebuild your values and non-negotiables while staying in your feminine energy

• Why standards don’t make you “hard” , they make you grounded

Mariah breaks down the psychology AND the feminine energetics behind value erosion, and we both share real, raw stories from our own lives.

This conversation is eye-opening, healing, and incredibly validating.

We also explore the Law of Detachment, surrender, letting go of resistance, trusting timing, and how the universe responds when you finally release control.

This episode is powerful, soft, deep, and full of practical, transformative guidance that every woman needs.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did,  because it opened my eyes in so many beautiful ways.

In this heartwarming episode, I sit down with a truly inspiring couple : 

Jessica and Steve,  to talk about their leap of faith and love. 

Two years ago, they sold everything in the UK and moved to Dubai to build a new life, a family, and a business together. With kids in tow and Jess now pregnant, they share how they’ve managed to grow a successful business side by side while keeping their relationship and family life strong.

But this story goes deeper, we also open up about their sobriety journey. A few months ago, they decided to quit alcohol completely, realizing how it was affecting their work, mindset, and relationship. 

Since then, their life has only gone upward : clearer, stronger, and more connected than ever.

Join us for a beautiful, honest conversation about love, courage, sobriety, and partnership, and discover how finding the right person can help you thrive in every part of life. 💫

In this solo episode, I’m stripping it all the way back, just me, unfiltered, sharing where I’m at and how I’ve been feeling lately. This isn’t about pity or seeking validation, it’s about honesty, vulnerability, and staying true to the spirit of Unfiltered with Mia.

But I also have something incredibly exciting to share…

I’m officially announcing This Is Me - a women-only event happening on November 22nd 2025.

This intimate gathering will be limited to just 20 women and will include three powerful workshops:

🌙 Guided Hypnosis on Self-Worth & Self-Love with Erica Consoli

🌸 Female Embodiment with Lina Lambertini

📸 Photoshoot Experience with Emma Stokwielder

✨ How to join:

Take a selfie, tag @unfilteredwithmia, and I’ll personally reach out with event details.

This is a free event, running on a donation basis, with all proceeds going to support a foundation against women and child abuse (final charity to be announced soon). The location will also be revealed in the coming days.

I can’t wait to share this space with the women who feel called to join. 

This is more than an event: it’s an experience, a safe space, and a chance to say unapologetically: This is me.

Jeric is one of the most joyful, fashionable, and hardworking people I know, and his positivity is absolutely contagious. 

In this episode, we go beyond the bubbly energy and dive into Jeric’s real and raw story.

From leaving the Philippines and building his career in Dubai, to facing one of the scariest moments of his life, a heart attack that completely changed his perspective.

Jeric shares how he learned to let go of the past, stop worrying about the future, and embrace the gift of living fully in the present moment.

We also talk about his solo trip to Italy, where he not only found healing and new meaning, but also celebrated his birthday in the country of his dreams. 

This inspiring and emotional conversation is a reminder of resilience, gratitude, and the beauty of choosing joy despite life’s challenges.

I hope you enjoy this heartfelt episode as much as I did.

In this episode of Unfiltered with Mia, I sit down with Anthony Maher, a young man whose journey took him from Ireland to Dubai, first working as a real estate agent, then as a recruiter, and now stepping into the spotlight for something much bigger: boxing. 🥊At just 23 years old, while many his age were focused on parties and nightlife, Anthony chose a different path, pursuing his passion for boxing. A decision that demanded sacrifices, discipline, determination, and consistency, but one that shaped him into who he is today.Anthony recently fought in two of the biggest amateur boxing events in Dubai: Grass Roots Boxing, where a WBC title was on the line and he fought on the undercard, and The Battle of the Burj, a once-in-a-lifetime fight right in front of the iconic Burj Khalifa.We dive into his early beginnings in sports, starting with swimming before discovering his passion for boxing, how he found the sport in Dubai, and what it was like to train and prepare for these two huge events. Anthony gives us his honest take on both experiences—the highs, the challenges, and the lessons learned inside and outside of the ring.This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about courage, sacrifice, and chasing your passion no matter where life takes you.Follow Anthony’s Journey on:IG: https://www.instagram.com/anthony_maher_?igsh=ZTc5ZG85MTJoeDZz____________________________________________________FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials:Youtube: https://youtu.be/0Q7zbhVeLIkSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQApple Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredwithmia?igsh=aHNqM2J6dnh4N2py Video Editor: Wahid Sekkar IG :https://www.instagram.com/wahidsekkar?igsh=bGJ1NDVlYjM1dno3 Thumbnail & Logo Credits:Meliora Concept Design IG:https://www.instagram.com/melioraconceptdesign?igsh=MXJuc3Bvc3drMGVqZQ== Love Mia xx
