    EP 90 -How to Master Uncertainty, Overcome Anxiety & Become Friends with Your Mind with Sam Daghash.

    In this powerful conversation, I'm joined once again by Sam Daghash to explore one of the biggest challenges most of us face: UNCERTAINTY. With everything happening in the world, from war to global crises and the unpredictability of everyday life, we dive deep into why uncertainty affects us so profoundly, where anxiety and fear really come from, and how we can train our minds to respond differently. Together, we unpack the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind, why our brains crave certainty, and why so many people struggled during COVID when that sense of control disappeared. Sam explains: -Why uncertainty triggers anxiety and panic attacks. -Why some people struggle more than others when they can't control situations. -The psychology behind fear and how our minds create it. -How to "speak the language of the mind." -How to become friends with your mind instead of fighting it. -Practical tools to release anxiety and regain inner peace. -The power of gratitude and how it shifts your mindset. -How to set boundaries with love while protecting your mental well-being. -...and so much more. I also share my own personal experiences with uncertainty, anxiety, and learning to let go of control, making this conversation both insightful and deeply relatable. One of my favourite takeaways from this episode is how Sam has trained himself not only to accept the unknown but to become genuinely excited by it.  Instead of fearing uncertainty, he shows us how to see it as a space full of possibility and opportunity. This episode is packed with practical advice, mindset shifts, and golden nuggets that can help you navigate uncertain times with greater confidence, resilience, and peace. If you've ever found yourself overthinking, feeling anxious about the future, struggling with fear, or wanting to understand your mind on a deeper level, this conversation is for you. ✨ I truly hope this episode helps you understand your mind on a deeper level, gives you clarity, and leaves you with as much knowledge and value as it did for me.  Sam generously shares so much of his wisdom and experience in this conversation, and I'm incredibly grateful that he gave us the opportunity to learn from him for free.  I hope you enjoy this episode and that you walk away with practical tools you can apply to your own life.

    EP 88 - The Things I Once Ran Away From Are Healing Me.

    After everything that happened recently, I decided to go back home for a little while… and I realised something I wasn’t fully ready to admit to myself: I had been living in survival mode for much longer than I thought. In this deeply personal solo episode, I open up about emotional exhaustion, living in fight or flight, reconnecting with my roots, and how returning home shifted my entire perspective on life, success, healing and peace. Growing up, all I wanted was to leave home and build a bigger life for myself. But years later, going back made me realise that the very things I once tried to escape from : family, simplicity, nature, community, stillness, were the exact things grounding and healing me the most. This is an honest conversation about: ✨ nervous system regulation ✨ ambition vs peace ✨ emotional burnout ✨ reconnecting with yourself ✨ healing through simplicity ✨ family, roots & identity ✨ life abroad & the emotional reality behind it If you’ve ever felt emotionally disconnected, stuck in survival mode, constantly chasing, or torn between ambition and peace… this episode is for you 🤍 Don’t forget to like, comment & subscribe to Unfiltered with Mia. ______________________________________________________________ FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials: Youtube:  https://youtu.be/bRMyp_Hoyjw Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQ Apple Podcast: ⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796 Instagram:  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

    EP 87 - Jamie Hayward: The Journey That Nobody Expected | Part 1

    Jamie Hayward’s early years were far from being surrounded by fitness influence, and his journey into the world of health and fitness is definitely not the typical story people expect. Something eventually shifted in Jamie’s life that pushed him toward fitness, but the journey did not stop there.  As he started learning more about the body and his own health, Jamie found himself struggling with chronic health issues that were deeply affecting his life. Instead of simply accepting the conventional approach, he decided to dig deeper to truly understand what was happening to his body and began exploring a completely different approach to health and fitness. That decision changed everything and completely transformed his journey. What makes this episode so powerful is not just Jamie’s knowledge when it comes to health and fitness, but the amount of depth behind his story and everything he has been through to become the person he is today. Jamie opens up about experiences, struggles, and challenges that I honestly don’t think a lot of people would expect when they first meet him. Today, Jamie’s approach may not be the most common, but the results speak for themselves through the significant transformations seen in the lives of his clients. In this episode, we speak about Jamie’s early years, his journey into fitness, the chronic health struggles he faced, and the different perspective that completely changed his life and the lives of others around him. This conversation goes far beyond fitness and touches on resilience, self-discovery, mindset, and finding answers when nothing seems to make sense. And trust me… this is definitely only Part 1 because Jamie’s story does not stop here. 🔗 To Reach out and Connect with Jamie and Sophie, you can contact them below: Jamie's IG:  https://www.instagram.com/coachhayward?igsh=eDgwejlvd2k1NHBn  Sophie's IG:  https://www.instagram.com/sophie_coachhayward?igsh=bHBtaWxpbWV4Mnp0 CH's Optimal Health Community: https://www.skool.com/chs-optimal-health-community/about Book a Call with Jamie on: https://www.coachhayward.co.uk/our-mission _______________________ FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials: Youtube:  https://youtu.be/0DTlV1VriLU Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQ  Apple Podcast: ⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796  Instagram:  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

    EP 86 - How Liars & Friends Is Changing the Way We Socialise & Connect.

    Kas is back on the podcast after over a year… and a lot has changed since then. The first time he came on, we spoke about his decision to leave Dubai, move back to the UK, and the early stages of building Liars & Friends.  Fast forward to today, what started as a simple idea has grown organically into a sold-out experience every single time. But Liars & Friends is more than just a game night. It’s a space where people come together without pressure… Where you don’t have to force conversations, network, or be “on.” You simply show up, have fun, and connect naturally. Because at the end of the day, it reminds us of something simple but powerful: we are human beings, and we bond through real human interaction. We dive deep into this in the episode, the importance of connection, community, and creating spaces where people can just be. If you’re currently in the UK, make sure to check out Liars & Friends on Instagram and attend one of their events!  It’s truly one of a kind, with great people, great energy, and a lot of fun. And make sure you watch until the end… because Kas had a surprise for me that I genuinely did not expect at all. Hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it 🤍 🔗 Connect with Liars and Friends: Liars and Friend's IG: https://www.instagram.com/liarsandfriendsuk?igsh=ZjI4a3Zxbm1ibWtl Kas's IG:  https://www.instagram.com/catchmeifyoukas?igsh=MTgzZmZ5NjF3Z2o1aA==  _________________________________________________________ FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials: Youtube:  https://youtu.be/8pxv2b_C_Yg Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQ  Apple Podcast: ⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796  Instagram:  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

    EP 85 - Life Can Change in a Click… Could This Be My Last Solo Episode?

    In this solo episode of Unfiltered with Mia, I’m sharing a very honest life update. With everything happening in the world and the uncertainty surrounding the current situation in the region, it made me pause and reflect on how quickly life can change.  One moment everything feels normal, and the next we’re reminded that nothing is ever truly guaranteed. This episode is a reminder to myself and to anyone listening: do the things you love, say the things you’ve been meaning to say, and spend time with the people who matter.  We often assume there will always be more time, but the truth is we don’t know what tomorrow holds. I also share how grateful I feel to live in the UAE, a place where despite everything happening around the world, I still feel safe and protected. And honestly… I don’t know if this will be my last solo episode for a while. A lot depends on how things unfold in the world. But for now, this is simply a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the present. Because sometimes, life really can change in a click. ______________________________________________________________ FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials: Youtube:  https://youtu.be/_rTkmtRtiyw Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQ Apple Podcast: ⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796 Instagram:  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

    EP84 – Pledge Tao: The Reality and Struggles of Building a Hybrid Fitness Community.

    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. 🔗 Connect with Pledge Tao:Pledge Tao Community IG: https://www.instagram.com/pledge.tao.fitness?igsh=MWtwbzhndnYycjBnNg==  Tao Clothing Brand IG: https://www.instagram.com/tao.worldwide?igsh=NTF6cndicmpyb3V1  Tao Clothing Website: https://pledgetao.com/password  Pledge Tao WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/La34qSbWXs14gthWvFzJy7  Tunmise’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/tunmiseojo?igsh=MXBoM3hoZGtpeDRkMA==  Tom’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/tspencerx?igsh=NTFja2k2cTBoaXZw_________________________________________________________FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials: Youtube:  https://youtu.be/TffywG_e_RY Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQ  Apple Podcast: ⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796  Instagram:  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

    EP 83 - When Everything Fell Apart… and I Realised Peace Starts With Me.

    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. ______________________________________________________________ FULL EPISODE and follow the journey on the socials: Youtube:  https://youtu.be/zoaktVMe-Z4 Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhG?si=S_MOU7wYSJKag-mxZEu6GQ Apple Podcast: ⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796 Instagram:  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
