Creating Space is the intersection of business and wellness, designed for the woman navigating a winding road. Join host Mia Space—tech professional, non-profit founder, and survivor—as she sits down with incredible women to peel back the curtain on:

Episode 1: Going First — Why I’m Putting Myself in the Hot Seat
To kick off the very first episode of Creating Space, host Mia Space is doing something she’s never done before: she’s being the guest. Before asking other women to be vulnerable, Mia is going first by sharing the "bottled up" story of how she got here.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The 9-Year Safe Lane: Why Mia turned down a "dream" corporate job to clean hotel rooms, and what that decade taught her about comfort vs. growth.
- The Devil Wears Prada Era: Navigating the high-pressure world of hedge funds and PR as an Executive Assistant before landing in Tech.
- The MIA Space Project: The personal "why" behind her non-profit—from being a survivor to providing dignity through high-quality clothing drives.
- The Reality of the Balance: How to manage a full-time tech career while running a mission-driven organization without burning out.
