Unfiltered With Mia

It’s been a minute, and I owe you all a real chat.

From personal struggles to career shifts and everything in between, this is a heart-to-heart conversation about where my head is at right now. 

Just a quick catch-up before I get back into the studio—because there’s so much more to come.

Tune in for an honest check-in and a fresh start. 🎙️💙

With joy, love, and warmth, I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

To those spending Christmas alone, remember—you are not truly alone.

Compassion and connection are all around us, and sometimes, friends become the family we choose.

Let’s remind ourselves that home isn’t just a place; it’s a feeling we carry in our hearts.

This Christmas, let’s make the day special in our own unique way, embracing the magic we create for ourselves.

Christmas is what you make of it—let it be as meaningful, joyful, or peaceful as you desire.

Tune in for a short but heartfelt message of togetherness and love.

This December, we're shaking things up with a series of solo episodes as the studio relocates and I prepare for a few weeks away. But honestly, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to connect with you on a more personal level.

First, I want to apologise for the audio quality not being up to our usual standard.

There's currently a big change happening as we’re moving into a new studio, which isn’t ready just yet.

For this episode, we had to use a last-minute pop-up setup to make it happen.

A huge shoutout to Podcast Hub for organising this so quickly and ensuring we could still record.

Another big thank you to Wahid Sekkar, my incredible editor, for his hard work and support in pulling this episode together despite the challenges.

Now, let’s dive into today’s episode with the wonderful Mariah Aziz, a relationship and trauma healing coach from the UK. While she was visiting Dubai for a month, Mariah made time to join me for this beautiful and insightful conversation.

We delve into her early years, exploring her relationship with her parents and how that shaped her views on love and relationships.

Mariah also shares her thoughts on the societal pressure to pursue traditional careers like becoming a doctor, lawyer, or engineer to achieve financial stability and success.

She opens up about how these expectations influenced her drive to be a hardworking overachiever in order to feel loved and validated.

Mariah talks about the safety and security of a corporate 9-5 career, which can often feel like the “safe” option, especially financially. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she began to realize that her banking job was no longer fulfilling her.

Struggling to keep up, she embarked on a transformative healing journey through therapy and deep self-reflection.This journey led her to uncover her true passion for coaching, something she had unconsciously been doing with those around her for years.

Taking a leap of faith, Mariah left her corporate career to pursue her dream of helping others through coaching. She shares how following her heart and passion brought her not only happiness but also financial success.

This inspiring conversation left me in awe of Mariah’s courage and determination, and I’m so grateful to have shared this experience with her.

We discovered we have so much in common, and we’re already planning a part two!

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did—Mariah truly is an inspiration.

In this inspiring episode of Mia’s World, I’m joined by the incredibly talented Emma Stokwielder, a photographer who recently took the leap of faith to leave her 9-to-5 job and pursue her passion full-time. 

Emma shares her journey, starting from her beginnings in the Netherlands, her move to Dubai, and how her love for photography and videography blossomed into the career of her dreams.

Emma opens up about the pivotal moment she decided to take that leap after two years of balancing her passion alongside her corporate job. Together, we dive into the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned along the way.

We also reflect on a personal photoshoot experience I had with Emma back in May, which sparked a heartfelt conversation about self-image, societal pressures, and how filters often mask our true beauty. 

From that moment, we decided to launch a movement called #ThisIsMe, encouraging everyone to embrace their authentic selves.

Here’s how you can join:

📸 Take a selfie — no makeup, no filters.

and use the hashtag #ThisIsMe.

Starting January 2025, I’ll reach out to every participant for a FREE 2-hour photoshoot with Emma to celebrate your natural beauty and spread the message that you are perfect just as you are.

This episode is not just about Emma’s inspiring journey of turning her passion into a career but also about empowering self-love and authenticity.

Let’s kick off 2025 with a message of beauty, confidence, and faith in our dreams. 

Tune in, get inspired, and join us in making this movement happen.

🎧 Listen now and let’s celebrate the real YOU!

One year ago today, I took a leap of faith and started this podcast journey.

From recording episodes in my room on my phone to renting a studio with an incredible team, it’s been a whirlwind of growth, passion, and unforgettable conversations. 🎙️✨

This year has taught me the power of consistency. Not every day has been easy—there were moments of self-doubt—but I kept coming back to my why.

When you have a dream, it’s natural to feel fear, but it’s all about showing up for yourself and your purpose.

And here we are, one year later, celebrating Mia’s World! 💫

I’m so emotional reflecting on this journey.

I’m incredibly grateful to all the amazing guests who shared their stories, the supporters who kept me going, the Podcast Hub team for bringing each episode to life, and Meliora Concept Design for creating a brand and logo I’m so proud of.

Looking ahead, I’m beyond excited for what’s to come in year two.

I have so many amazing episodes planned, and I can’t wait for you all to experience them with me.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey. Here’s to more inspiring conversations, more growth, and more love in Mia’s World. 💖With all my heart, thank you, and I love you all! 🫶✨
