What if the life you’ve been through doesn’t have to determine the life you create?In this episode, I sit down with Keziah to talk about her incredible journey, from moving into foster care as a young girl and navigating difficult chapters in her childhood and relationships, to eventually finding her way back to herself.Throughout her life, Keziah experienced something that became a recurring theme in her story: people believing in her before she fully believed in herself. From her ex-partner encouraging her to take a different direction, to people in her early career in the UK pushing her to recognise her own potential, the right people around her helped her see possibilities she couldn’t always see for herself.But even after achieving what looked like the “dream life,” something still didn’t feel right. It was only when she started listening to herself, trusting her instincts and believing in her own vision that everything began to shift.That journey led her to take a leap of faith and create Zenith Vision, her own company, where she has built her identity as a Visual Brand Partner, helping businesses bring their vision and identity to life.And then came another leap,  moving to Dubai with her company and choosing to build a new chapter on her own terms.Keziah’s story is a powerful reminder that your past does not define your future. Sometimes, all it takes is someone believing in you, one moment of courage, and the decision to finally believe in yourself.This is a conversation about resilience, self-belief, the power of having the right people around you, taking risks, trusting your intuition, and having the courage to build the life you truly want.🔗 Connect with Keziah:📲Instagram IG: https://www.instagram.com/keziahsoumakis?igsh=cm52YTUybDV6aHZs📲Zenith Vision IG: https://www.instagram.com/zenith_vision_?igsh=MWYwejNpeDZqd3Jkeg==________Don't forget to like, comment & subscribe to Unfiltered with Mia.Follow the journey on socials:YouTube:https://youtu.be/xHCNraZPGIESpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhGApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredwithmiaVideo Editor:Wahid Sekkar IG:https://www.instagram.com/wahidsekkarThumbnail & Logo Credits:Meliora Concept Design IG:https://www.instagram.com/melioraconceptdesignLove,Mia xx

Hypnotherapy is one of the most misunderstood forms of therapy. Many people associate it with losing control, being "put under," or expecting instant results. In this episode, we're here to separate fact from fiction.Returning guest and hypnotherapist Erica Consoli joins me once again, but this time we're moving beyond the basics. Instead of introducing what hypnotherapy is, we dive into how it actually works, why it can be so effective, and the science behind creating lasting change.One of the biggest misconceptions is that hypnotherapy is a magical fix. It isn't. As Erica explains, change can only happen when you are genuinely ready to change. A hypnotherapist doesn't "fix" you, they guide you in accessing your subconscious mind, where deeply rooted beliefs, habits, emotional patterns, and limiting beliefs are stored.Throughout the episode, we discuss how hypnotherapy can help:* Heal unresolved trauma* Rewire limiting beliefs* Build confidence and self-worth* Reduce anxiety and stress* Break unwanted habits and behaviours* Improve emotional regulation* Support personal growth and lasting behavioural changeOne of my favourite parts of this conversation is that we don't just talk about hypnotherapy we give you an insight into what a session can actually look like.Using my own experience with self-doubt, Erica walks us through how she would approach it during a consultation. While it's not a full hypnotherapy session, it gives you a realistic understanding of the process, the type of questions that are asked, and how a hypnotherapist helps uncover the root cause of an issue. Every session is unique because every individual has a different story, which is why no two experiences should ever be compared.This episode is for anyone who has ever been curious about hypnotherapy but has been held back by myths, misconceptions, or fear of the unknown. Our goal is to educate, provide clarity, and help you understand why this therapeutic approach has helped so many people transform their lives.If you keep an open mind, you may discover that hypnotherapy isn't about mind control at all, it's about understanding yourself on a deeper level, creating meaningful change, and giving yourself the opportunity to heal.If this conversation resonates with you and you'd like to learn more or book a consultation with Erica Consoli, you'll find all of her contact details below.Erica also regularly shares insightful articles on Brainz Magazine, where she writes about hypnotherapy, mindset, emotional wellbeing, and personal transformation.

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.Get In Touch with Sam Daghash on:Sam's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sam.daghash?igsh=YXBqemhsYTF5Yzc1New Mind's IG:  https://www.instagram.com/newmind.ae?igsh=MTZjZGVzZXY4dThudA==New Mind Mastery's IG: https://www.instagram.com/newmind_mastery?igsh=Mnhmb2JtNzYxNm54New mind Podcast and more: https://linktr.ee/samdaghash.com?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=38c41a7d-7784-494f-b757-08b0c0cf9f4a_____________________________________________________________Don't forget to like, comment & subscribe to Unfiltered with Mia.Follow the journey on socials:YouTube:https://youtu.be/3M49pZyDHbsSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1NOrT0pQDGEN6MIUwpzDhGApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unfiltered-with-mia/id1718935796Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/unfilteredwithmiaVideo Editor:Wahid Sekkar IG:https://www.instagram.com/wahidsekkarThumbnail & Logo Credits:Meliora Concept Design IG:https://www.instagram.com/melioraconceptdesignLove,Mia xx
