This week on Up Past Bedtime I’m joined by the incredible Mia Findlay, creator, speaker and the brilliant mind behind @whatmiadidnext. Mia has spent years helping women step into their power, unpack their conditioning and build lives that aren’t centred around keeping men comfortable. In this episode we sit down for the chat so many of us needed in our teens and early twenties.
Together we dive into what it actually means to decenter men, how to reclaim your identity outside of being someone’s partner, and the quiet ways women accidentally shape their whole lives around satisfying expectations that were never really ours. Mia shares the moments that pulled her into this work, the experiences that shaped her voice online, and why she is so passionate about helping straight women break away from the patterns that keep them small.
We talk motherhood, marriage, self abandonment, resentment, boundaries, the “good girl” performance, and why so many women wake up one day wondering how they lost themselves. This conversation is real, validating and a little confronting in the best way.
Up Past Bedtime with Bella Messina is your go-to for late-night, unfiltered chats... the kind of conversations you’d have with your closest girlfriends. From relationships to motherhood, no topic is off-limits as Bella, a 20-something mum of two, invites you into candid conversations with inspiring women and shares her own raw stories. This podcast is where you’ll feel seen, heard, and completely understood. So get comfortable, because the best conversations happen when you’re up past bedtime.
