Description

Welcome to The Blue Sofa — a podcast for female founders who want to grow and lead their business without hustle, burnout, or performing someone else’s version of success.


I’m Mia, a business mentor for women in business, and this podcast is where we talk about what actually creates sustainable growth: clarity, leadership, aligned strategy, and the inner work that supports real expansion.


Inside each episode, we explore how to lead your business with feminine authority — not pressure. You’ll hear conversations about making clear decisions, building businesses that support your life, creating impact without exhaustion, and letting go of the hustle culture that quietly burns women out.


This isn’t about chasing trends or pushing harder.


 It’s about growing from alignment, capacity, and self-trust — so your business thrives because you are thriving.


New episodes drop every week.


 Pull up a seat, take a breath, and join me on The Blue Sofa — where clarity leads, and growth follows.

There are seasons in business where resilience is required. Moments where you do need to lock in, stay with it, and not quit when things feel uncomfortable. But resilience is not meant to be a permanent state. In this episode, we explore the difference between healthy pushing and structural overcompensation — and why so many capable women end up exhausted not because they lack discipline, but because their business is poorly designed for who they actually are. This is a mature conversat...
In this episode, we’re talking about a pattern I see again and again in women building businesses - especially women who care deeply, lead with integrity, and genuinely want to help. Savior syndrome doesn’t look dramatic. It looks responsible. It looks devoted. And over time, it quietly shapes your business in ways that create exhaustion, over-responsibility, and business models that rely too heavily on you. In this episode, you’ll hear about: What savior syndrome actually looks like i...
Clarity isn’t a mindset issue. And it’s not something you wait for. In this episode, we talk about why clarity is a core leadership skill for female entrepreneurs — and how ongoing confusion quietly drains your energy, authority, and business momentum. Many women in business don’t struggle because they lack intelligence, strategy, or ambition. They struggle because they’ve been conditioned to over-consider, over-hold, and delay decisions in the name of being open, intuitive, or flexible. In t...
January is often framed as a fresh start. New goals. New strategies. New energy. But what if constantly starting over is the very thing keeping your business unstable? In this episode, I break down the January Reset Trap — the subtle habit of resetting your business every year instead of letting it evolve. We talk about why New Year resolutions often feel productive but quietly undermine long-term growth, and why real success comes from choosing the long game. This is a conversation about str...
In this episode of The Blue Sofa, we challenge one of the most damaging narratives in coaching and online business: the idea that you must choose between money or meaning, alignment or growth, authenticity or structure. You’ll hear why this either–or mindset quietly keeps capable women stuck — and how a both–and approach creates calm, clarity, and consistent client flow. This episode is for you if you want to grow a profitable coaching business without burning out, hardening yourself, or losi...
Energy work is powerful. It makes your business feel lighter. It helps your content resonate. It aligns you with the work you’re meant to do. But here’s the truth most women never hear: 👉 Energy work creates ease — but it does not create consistent client flow on its own. And that’s where so many soul-led entrepreneurs get stuck. They journal. They align. They visualize. They shift their energy… …yet their income still rises and falls unpredictably. In this episode, we talk about the ...
Episode Summary: This episode is your invitation to step into 2026 with clarity, devotion, and direction instead of hope, guesswork, or overwhelm.

We dive into: The difference between drifting and leading your timeline Why “too many plans” can sabotage your expansion How to choose you...

Let’s talk about alignment — that invisible cord between you and your business that either pulls everything into flow… or makes it feel like you’re swimming upstream. If you’ve ever done all the “right” things — followed the strategy, posted the content, launched the offers — and still felt off… this episode is for you. I’m diving into what energetic alignment in business really means — how to know when you’re out of it, how to get back into it, and why alignment is the real strategy behi...

Every year, I take myself on a solo business trip — not to escape, but to expand. To get inspired, reconnect with my vision, and breathe new life into what I’m creating. This year, I returned to Lisbon… and this trip brought so much more than I expected. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my soulful solo trip and share some of the deep conversations and reflections that came up — around motherhood, marriage, and finding your soul tribe as a female entrepreneur. We talk about: ...
In today’s episode, I’m joined by email marketing expert Allison Hardy. Her story starts in a place many women know all too well: laid off at six months pregnant, facing uncertainty, and questioning her worth. But instead of giving up, she pivoted — and what unfolded was a business built around her life, not the other way around. We go deep into the messy middle of entrepreneurship — the postpartum depression, the breakdowns, the trial-and-error — and how those moments often become the ...

In this episode of The Blue Sofa, I’m diving deep into something we rarely question—but so many of us feel: the pressure to scale, to hustle, and to constantly perform in order to be "successful." But what if that very pressure is the thing blocking your creativity, your abundance, and your joy? This is Part 5 of my Secrets to Ease series, and today I’m sharing the honest truth about why the high-pressure hustle culture is not made for us as women—and how honoring our feminine energy and natu...
