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.
