Episode #36 - Filling Our Truck With Forgiveness: An Interview With Mia McGlynn

Intro: 00:00:00

Welcome to the podcast where relationships, confidence, and

Intro: 00:00:03

determination, all converge into an amazing, heartfelt experience.

Intro: 00:00:08

This is Speaking From The Heart.

Joshua: 00:00:11

Welcome back to episode number 36 of Speaking From the Heart in which

Joshua: 00:00:15

we've been featuring businesses this past few weeks in which have made a

Joshua: 00:00:19

substantial impact not only in the lives of others, but they also share from

Joshua: 00:00:24

the heart, and I want to continue to thank all the businesses that help to

Joshua: 00:00:27

support the start of this podcast that have allowed me to be able to have the

Joshua: 00:00:32

variety of different guests that have supported me in getting this completely

Joshua: 00:00:37

and utterly off the ground, so thank you to all those that have preceded this that

Joshua: 00:00:43

have certainly helped me to become the best version of myself as a podcast host.

Joshua: 00:00:49

Today, we have Mia McGlynn, who is a PA based photographer and writer.

Joshua: 00:00:54

She's published four children's books, which we talk extensively about because

Joshua: 00:00:58

that is really a big passion of hers.

Joshua: 00:01:01

The most recent one being Bigger Diggers.

Joshua: 00:01:04

This book is based on photographs that she's taken during her quote, unquote day

Joshua: 00:01:08

job as a marketing manager for a heavy equipment dealership, and in that story,

Joshua: 00:01:14

she promotes finding unique strengths and differences and coming together as a team.

Joshua: 00:01:19

There's a sequel currently in the works being illustrated and in

Joshua: 00:01:24

her books overall, they focus on teaching important lessons and

Joshua: 00:01:28

empowering kids while also shining a light on real life roles and jobs.

Joshua: 00:01:33

She's very passionate about skilled trades, more specifically blue collar

Joshua: 00:01:37

jobs, which we get into a little bit with this episode, and she actually

Joshua: 00:01:42

is an ambassador of also a nonprofit called The Crew Collaborative, which

Joshua: 00:01:46

we'll talk about quite a lot also, aiming to help educate and inform

Joshua: 00:01:51

the youth on blue collar construction industries and to break the stigma

Joshua: 00:01:56

that's usually surrounding these areas.

Joshua: 00:01:58

Besides her marketing, she does do photography in which we talk about

Joshua: 00:02:03

some of the things, including some of the portraits and weddings that she's

Joshua: 00:02:06

done, including even the commercial and product photos and digital marketing

Joshua: 00:02:11

that she creates as a content creator.

Joshua: 00:02:14

She also is a reiki practitioner and also a transformational life coach.

Joshua: 00:02:20

I know also just working and talking with her, she has been one of those guests

Joshua: 00:02:26

again that works on so many different things, but they all have a different

Joshua: 00:02:31

type of thread to it each time that I talk to someone and hers is no exception in

Joshua: 00:02:37

which she talks about the divorces that have made her into the modern Brady Bunch

Joshua: 00:02:43

that I absolutely enjoy hearing about how she creates that communications, those

Joshua: 00:02:50

relationships with other people, but more importantly, having the determination

Joshua: 00:02:55

to live life with passion and love.

Joshua: 00:02:59

With that, let's go to the episode.

Joshua: 00:03:02

All right.

Joshua: 00:03:03

We have Mia McGlynn with us.

Joshua: 00:03:05

Mia, thanks for sharing your heart with us today.

Mia: 00:03:09

Thank you for having me here.

Mia: 00:03:11

I'm excited to get to chat with you.

Joshua: 00:03:13

I am too, and I really enjoyed our conversation even beforehand because

Joshua: 00:03:17

I felt like we got to know each other.

Joshua: 00:03:19

I feel like there's some energies aligning in the universe when it comes to that

Joshua: 00:03:24

too, and I already let the audience know even before we got started with this

Joshua: 00:03:29

about what you exactly do, and I just want to start off with this question first.

Joshua: 00:03:35

I know that you have written a lot of different books, and I know you got a

Joshua: 00:03:39

book that you're working on right now.

Joshua: 00:03:42

I really want to dig into, what was your main motivation for being an author,

Joshua: 00:03:47

because I've had some authors on the show already and they've told me a lot

Joshua: 00:03:51

about what some of their motivations are, and I've been really fascinated

Joshua: 00:03:55

with what their story is as it comes to that, so do you mind sharing your story

Joshua: 00:04:00

as to how you started writing stories?

Mia: 00:04:03

For sure, I would love to.

Mia: 00:04:05

Actually I grew up around children a lot, so far my

Mia: 00:04:09

publications are children's books.

Mia: 00:04:11

I have four books already out, and then I have another one coming that

Mia: 00:04:17

should be coming probably early next year, if not by late this year.

Mia: 00:04:21

It's actually a sequel to Bigger Diggers, so I'm pretty excited to get

Mia: 00:04:25

that out there, but I'm also working on a memoir, so that'll be for adults.

Mia: 00:04:29

I worked with children at a very young age.

Mia: 00:04:32

My job was at a daycare facility.

Mia: 00:04:35

My parents took in foster kids.

Mia: 00:04:37

I was actually the only biological child until I was eight years old, and I

Mia: 00:04:41

really wanted siblings, so I have always really valued the role model scenario.

Mia: 00:04:48

I've always felt like I wanted to live a life that was an example

Mia: 00:04:54

to others that maybe they needed a helping hand or a guide.

Mia: 00:05:00

When I got into a place in my life where, something just hit me.

Mia: 00:05:06

These ideas started to come to me and I thought, "You know what?

Mia: 00:05:09

I'm just going to run with it.", and I started with a story called When You

Mia: 00:05:14

Give a Girl a Hammer, and it was actually inspired by my nieces and my sister.

Mia: 00:05:21

We come from a background of strong women, and I remember my mom in our

Mia: 00:05:26

youth, coming home from school and she had stuck a hammer through the

Mia: 00:05:29

wall because she decided that that wall was no longer going to be there.

Mia: 00:05:32

She was going to turn that into a nice loft, and so that's the example that

Mia: 00:05:38

I had growing up, and then to watch my little sister raising her little girls

Mia: 00:05:43

in the same kind of mindset as she was rehabbing a house, it just took this form

Mia: 00:05:48

in my mind and I just penned When You Give A Girl A Hammer, and from there,

Mia: 00:05:53

it just opened something for me and I created, When You Give A Mom A Minute,

Mia: 00:05:59

out of inspiration, again, from people in my life, people like myself who are

Mia: 00:06:04

really juggling the role of being a mom, the most important one, but also

Mia: 00:06:10

really career driven, entrepreneurial, and trying to really make a go of it

Mia: 00:06:15

and still wanting to communicate to their children that they are everything.

Mia: 00:06:20

Even in those moments where we're not actively seeming like we are thinking

Mia: 00:06:26

about our kids, we really are, like, they're always on our minds no matter

Mia: 00:06:31

what we're doing, so that story came from that place and it continued to

Mia: 00:06:36

kind of roll into the next thing and I just kept creating and I love it.

Mia: 00:06:41

I can't stop.

Joshua: 00:06:42

I love the fact that you are very creative and that you don't stop, because

Joshua: 00:06:47

I know that you also own a photography business, which we shared, and I've had

Joshua: 00:06:52

a photographer on the show before where we talked about what are some of the

Joshua: 00:06:56

things that are really important to them when they are working with clients or

Joshua: 00:07:01

even taking their photographs, and I'm always interested in this too, so I was

Joshua: 00:07:06

wondering if you can talk to us a little bit about when you're working with people

Joshua: 00:07:10

or you're working on a particular event or even first off, describe what kind

Joshua: 00:07:14

of photography that you do for us, and then secondly, what do you really look

Joshua: 00:07:18

for when you're taking that photography?

Joshua: 00:07:20

Is there a certain element that you're trying to get?

Joshua: 00:07:22

Is it the lighting?

Joshua: 00:07:23

Is it the reflection of the character of a person, the place, or the thing?

Joshua: 00:07:28

Can you share us a little bit about that, because I'm always fascinated by like what

Joshua: 00:07:31

people see and how they interpret that.

Mia: 00:07:37

It's so interesting when you ask any photographer about this sort of

Mia: 00:07:41

thing, you get a different answer, right?

Joshua: 00:07:43

Yes.

Joshua: 00:07:44

I love that so much.

Mia: 00:07:45

I actually was- yeah, I was actually in a conversation with someone

Mia: 00:07:49

earlier today, and it was a meeting about a total different thing, and

Mia: 00:07:55

there was art on their wall, and I said, "Oh, who's the photographer?"

Mia: 00:07:57

Well here, it turned out it was that person, and it stemmed this whole

Mia: 00:08:00

other conversation because we were from different places with what we

Mia: 00:08:04

liked and what we looked for, and so I do largely portrait photography.

Mia: 00:08:11

I do wedding photography, so my area is focused largely around people.

Mia: 00:08:16

I like interacting with people.

Mia: 00:08:18

I like having them and helping people find a different way to see

Mia: 00:08:23

themselves or see their best selves.

Mia: 00:08:26

My favorite is working with seniors one-on-one, like senior class, getting

Mia: 00:08:32

that little bit of time with them to let them really express their personality

Mia: 00:08:36

and let their characters shine through at this time in their life where everything

Mia: 00:08:40

is just changing for them and they're gonna be leaving behind this one area

Mia: 00:08:45

that they've known for so many years, and some of them moving on to college,

Mia: 00:08:49

some making some other adult decisions, and so it's this one like pivotal

Mia: 00:08:54

milestone, and I get to just have fun with them and really let some of those

Mia: 00:08:58

things come alive, so I love that.

Mia: 00:09:01

I am big into working with light and shadow.

Mia: 00:09:04

I love some deep car contrasts that also comes into play because I also

Mia: 00:09:09

do commercial photography, so I photograph things like heavy equipment.

Mia: 00:09:13

That's part of a part-time day job as well, so that's

Mia: 00:09:16

part of what I do for them.

Mia: 00:09:18

I photograph heavy equipment, which coincidentally, was the inspiration

Mia: 00:09:23

for Bigger Diggers, so all of my things kind of marry each other and everything

Mia: 00:09:28

grows as a whole from what I produce, but I do love different contrasts

Mia: 00:09:35

in textures and enlightened shadow.

Mia: 00:09:40

I can't really niche down as well as a lot of people say you should,

Mia: 00:09:45

because I like so many different things and I get bored very easily,

Mia: 00:09:50

so that tends to work in various ways.

Mia: 00:09:54

It allows me to kind of go left or right, whenever I feel the need,

Mia: 00:09:58

and I have a lot of fun with it.

Joshua: 00:10:00

I see that you have a lot of fun of it because I've been scrolling through

Joshua: 00:10:03

your photos as we were talking and I didn't have a chance really to scroll

Joshua: 00:10:08

at them closely before we started, but I just find it so fascinating, like how

Joshua: 00:10:13

you do use that contrast, that lighting and shadow, these are incredible photos

Joshua: 00:10:18

and of all different locations, all kinds of different people, all kinds

Joshua: 00:10:22

of different types of situations.

Joshua: 00:10:24

I'm like mesmerized as you were talking, I'm like over here like, "Oh my gosh.

Joshua: 00:10:28

These are really good."

Mia: 00:10:28

Oh, thank you.

Joshua: 00:10:29

When you were talking about heavy equipment, can you tell us

Joshua: 00:10:32

a little bit like what that is, like, are you talking about like big

Joshua: 00:10:34

tractors and things of that nature?

Mia: 00:10:36

I am talking about like big haul trucks.

Joshua: 00:10:40

Wow.

Mia: 00:10:41

The inspiration for one of my characters in Bigger Diggers is

Mia: 00:10:45

actually like the biggest rigid haul truck that Volvo makes right now.

Mia: 00:10:51

I got to go to a site, to a demonstration of that.

Mia: 00:10:54

I got to ride in it front row seat and see out.

Mia: 00:10:58

I took pictures of that whole event and looking at them, I looked at the

Mia: 00:11:02

face of that thing and I was like, "This looks like it should have eyes.

Mia: 00:11:06

It looks like it is a character of some sort", and there became Harry Haller.

Mia: 00:11:11

That's how he was developed.

Mia: 00:11:13

It's my favorite one.

Mia: 00:11:15

I have gotten to drive the A 60 articulated hauler.

Mia: 00:11:19

They call those wiggle wagons.

Mia: 00:11:22

That was weird.

Joshua: 00:11:23

Yeah.

Mia: 00:11:23

That was weird to drive because I'm not used to that articulated thing,

Mia: 00:11:27

so backing up becomes a whole nother.

Mia: 00:11:31

I just can't-

Joshua: 00:11:32

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Joshua: 00:11:34

They let you actually go in and actually drive this thing?

Mia: 00:11:38

I did.

Mia: 00:11:39

I did.

Mia: 00:11:39

One of the guys did take me and let me drive it.

Mia: 00:11:42

Yeah.

Joshua: 00:11:42

That is so cool.

Joshua: 00:11:44

I grew up on a farm, and I didn't tell you this, but my parents had Alpine

Joshua: 00:11:49

Nubian Dairy goats, and I used to drive the dad's tractor around, so

Joshua: 00:11:53

it was not like these big tractors.

Joshua: 00:11:55

It was a Ford tractor.

Joshua: 00:11:56

It had a Bush Hog front end loader so that you were able to lift things around.

Joshua: 00:12:02

I had nothing like what you just drove, and I'm just like,

Joshua: 00:12:05

"Oh man, I wish I was there.

Joshua: 00:12:06

I would've had fun."

Mia: 00:12:08

Oh my God, but that farm life is like something that is like after my own heart.

Mia: 00:12:12

I actually traveled out to Idaho and they were planting the potato fields,

Mia: 00:12:17

and because I have a friend that's a potato farmer and it's just, it's

Mia: 00:12:21

mesmerizing to me like the what the science behind everything for that.

Mia: 00:12:26

It's just amazing, so as you can see, I have a love for such a

Mia: 00:12:30

vast amount of things in life.

Mia: 00:12:33

I think I would just experience all the things if I could.

Joshua: 00:12:37

I've loved that because I've had people on this show

Joshua: 00:12:39

that have really expressed their interests for international travel.

Joshua: 00:12:43

I've had international guests that've talked about their enjoyment

Joshua: 00:12:47

to going different countries, even in the United States.

Joshua: 00:12:49

It's incredible just to have all this wide variety of different likes and interest.

Joshua: 00:12:56

With that said, I know that you have been through a very unique journey to

Joshua: 00:13:01

get to this point, and I was wondering, because you have gone through two

Joshua: 00:13:05

divorces, and I have to be honest and transparent, I have never been married,

Joshua: 00:13:10

and I don't know how that exactly feels per se, to go through that sort of

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:15

a.

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:20

Have any of these experiences with your relationships been a motivation for you

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:24

to enter into the careers that you've been doing with writing the books, or even

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:29

going through and taking these awesome photography sessions with people, places,

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:35

and things, and then the other thing is: is there anything that you would've

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:39

changed differently when it comes to going through those experiences, meaning, would

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:44

you feel like it would've made you the person that you are today if you didn't

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:48

go through those things, and I know those are pretty deep questions, but I

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:52

think that for some people, and I'll give you a moment to think about it, I was

g, but my question is twofold: 00:13:55

thinking about this even before we even started, is that some people go through

g, but my question is twofold: 00:14:01

life stuck in those sort of situations.

g, but my question is twofold: 00:14:04

Sometimes they never even take that sort of action or that first step, so

g, but my question is twofold: 00:14:08

they never get to unlock some of those things or they get trapped in those sort

g, but my question is twofold: 00:14:12

of circumstances and they never really overcome that, and I feel like for you,

g, but my question is twofold: 00:14:17

just hearing what I've heard so far, you have overcome that and so much more, so I

g, but my question is twofold: 00:14:21

was wondering if you could share with us a little bit about that in answering some of

g, but my question is twofold: 00:14:25

those things that I've mentioned to you.

Mia: 00:14:28

Yeah.

Mia: 00:14:28

I guess what I could say is, I did get inspired to do some of the things that I

Mia: 00:14:35

do by my life experience, and I think that one of those things is when you're forced,

Mia: 00:14:43

and I don't mean to to take away anything as male, female, too much, but as a female

Mia: 00:14:49

it was kind of a unique scenario to that.

Mia: 00:14:51

I had to start over multiple times after having kind of relied on a male partner

Mia: 00:14:59

situation very heavily, especially in my first marriage, I started out being very

Mia: 00:15:04

independent, but I gave away a lot of my independence, and what came about after

Mia: 00:15:09

that was a raging, independent woman, you know, I felt that I didn't ever want

Mia: 00:15:15

to go through the experience of having literally nothing again, like nothing.

Mia: 00:15:21

No home, no car, nothing to call my own.

Mia: 00:15:25

There was nothing-

Joshua: 00:15:25

I was going to say, you lost everything as a result of this?

Mia: 00:15:29

Yeah, my first marriage ended, I was 25.

Mia: 00:15:32

I had two kids that were just under two.

Mia: 00:15:34

They were 14 months apart, and it fell apart, and it fell apart dramatically, and

Mia: 00:15:41

it was not an easy or amicable divorce.

Mia: 00:15:44

There was a fight every step of the way.

Mia: 00:15:47

It took three years to complete that divorce and it was three years of struggle

Mia: 00:15:51

and went on to be many, many more years of very difficult and trying times

Mia: 00:15:59

with that person, and that definitely inspired me to be gritty enough to

Mia: 00:16:07

go after doing things on my own.

Mia: 00:16:10

There is something to be said for just working at it and trying it

Mia: 00:16:14

out, like, if it doesn't work out fine, what did I have to lose?

Mia: 00:16:18

It took me a really long time to get to that point where I realized

Mia: 00:16:23

you can take a little risk because really what do you have to lose?

Mia: 00:16:27

What's money?

Mia: 00:16:28

You can get more later.

Mia: 00:16:29

If it all goes today, you can still get more tomorrow.

Mia: 00:16:32

There's more out there to be made, so take the chance, do the thing.

Mia: 00:16:37

If it doesn't work out, dust yourself off and do the next thing.

Mia: 00:16:40

That's how I've learned to be about it, but it took a really long time and it

Mia: 00:16:43

took going through, getting to where I could get married a second time was

Mia: 00:16:49

a whole process in and of itself, and then that marriage, actually, it took

Mia: 00:16:55

me four years to get down the aisle and then three years being married, and

Mia: 00:16:59

that fell apart also very dramatically.

Mia: 00:17:03

These are things that I do dish in this memoir that I'm doing right now because,

Mia: 00:17:07

and the whole purpose of this is because I realized over time that these things

Mia: 00:17:13

that I experienced were challenging and could have been handled in some extremely

Mia: 00:17:22

ugly ways, and I could have allowed them to destroy me as a person, to make me

Mia: 00:17:27

bitter, to make me fill my heart with hate, and that was an underlying lesson

Mia: 00:17:33

in the whole thing was I was not willing to let myself become hardened because

Mia: 00:17:39

of these experiences, because of what other people did, the decisions that

Mia: 00:17:43

they made that affected me, I wasn't going to let that become who I was, so

Mia: 00:17:49

I feel like other people need to know that they can get through things too.

Mia: 00:17:54

They can do hard things, and they don't have to let it make their heart hard.

Mia: 00:17:59

They don't have to let it fill them up with hate.

Joshua: 00:18:02

I'm speechless because I, first off, I want to say this.

Joshua: 00:18:06

You hit the nail in the head about the difference between what a woman goes

Joshua: 00:18:11

through and what a male goes through, and I certainly don't want to downplay

Joshua: 00:18:16

anything that anybody goes through, because I think for either side of it,

Joshua: 00:18:20

it can be traumatic in its own ways, but hearing your side of it, Mia, I really

Joshua: 00:18:25

think that for some people it's really hard to get to that side of thinking.

Joshua: 00:18:30

"Oh, I need to do something about it, and I know that I, it's going to be messy,

Joshua: 00:18:35

but I still need to do something about it", but they get stuck with that thought,

Joshua: 00:18:38

and I've worked with clients that, in a life coaching perspective, since I do

Joshua: 00:18:42

that for my business, I've had people that are like, "I'm just stuck in this,

Joshua: 00:18:46

and I don't know whether there's going to be any freedom.", so I have to coach

Joshua: 00:18:50

them through not only the goals that they have to set for themselves, but I'm taking

Joshua: 00:18:54

a big risk because some of them might be female, some of them might be male.

Joshua: 00:18:59

I'm putting my perspective out there, but I need to be respectful of what the

Joshua: 00:19:03

whole picture is, the bigger picture, and I think that is so important to

Joshua: 00:19:07

distinguish, so I really resonated with that in you discussing it because

Joshua: 00:19:13

the other thing you said, and this is actually a follow up then, because of

Joshua: 00:19:16

what you saying is that you really asked yourself the question, do I have to

Joshua: 00:19:21

hate this or do I do something about it?

Joshua: 00:19:25

What chose you to do something about it as opposed to be being filled with

Joshua: 00:19:29

hate, because I know a lot of people that, and especially nowadays, especially

Joshua: 00:19:34

in the United States, which most of my listeners are from with this podcast,

Joshua: 00:19:38

I know that it's so easy to be in that default position of, "I'm going to hate

Joshua: 00:19:42

you because you did not do the right thing, and I can never forgive you."

Mia: 00:19:46

Mm-hmm.

Joshua: 00:19:46

Where I feel like there should be forgiveness with that, so can you

Joshua: 00:19:50

answer why you chose the path you did?

Mia: 00:19:54

That is a really tough thing to answer because I feel like I

Mia: 00:19:59

always said, and I've said this to my children, even forgiving has

Mia: 00:20:03

always been really easy for me.

Joshua: 00:20:05

Mm-hmm.

Mia: 00:20:06

Like in anything in life, and I feel like that's something that a lot

Mia: 00:20:09

of people really, really struggle with, but the best way that I've said it to

Mia: 00:20:14

my own clients even is by giving someone your forgiveness, you're not necessarily

Mia: 00:20:21

gifting anything to them, you're giving that to yourself because if you let hate

Mia: 00:20:28

fill your heart, that's your baggage that becomes something that you carry.

Mia: 00:20:33

They don't know.

Mia: 00:20:34

They don't care, you know what I mean, like, when that relationship is severed,

Mia: 00:20:39

when there is animosity between two people, that person's over somewhere

Mia: 00:20:44

else going through their daily life, do you think they really care how you feel?

Joshua: 00:20:48

Mm-hmm.

Mia: 00:20:48

Do you think that they're thinking about the fact that you're angry at them?

Mia: 00:20:52

No.

Mia: 00:20:52

They probably like it, so to me, it's almost an act of self-love and also

Mia: 00:20:59

rebellion, if you want to call it that way, by saying, "You know what,

Mia: 00:21:03

I'm going to forgive you for me.

Mia: 00:21:05

This is better for my well-being."

Joshua: 00:21:09

"I want to forgive you for me."

Joshua: 00:21:11

Wow.

Joshua: 00:21:12

Hearing those words, I'm in this phase of my life myself, and even my audience

Joshua: 00:21:17

knows this from some of the episodes I've done as monologues, where I'm sort of

Joshua: 00:21:21

reflecting on, what can I do differently instead of just going to the default

Joshua: 00:21:26

reaction of, "Oh, that's a terrible idea", or, "That's really not a good thing

Joshua: 00:21:30

to do, Joshua.", or reacting to those things that have that venomous, poisonous

Joshua: 00:21:35

sort of feeling that gets stabbed inside of you and wanting to remove

Joshua: 00:21:40

that, but you're essentially pulling that whole thing out and saying, "Look.

Joshua: 00:21:44

I am going to forgive you because I'm not going to let that be the power

Joshua: 00:21:48

over me", and now it resonates with me what you said earlier about not only

Joshua: 00:21:54

giving women that chance, because I've been working with women on a nonprofit

Joshua: 00:21:59

board myself, where I've interacted with them, where they've been beaten

Joshua: 00:22:03

down physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, having a economic sort of job.

Joshua: 00:22:10

I've seen it all and it just, my heart breaks for those people

Joshua: 00:22:14

that really need something to kind of help them through that.

Mia: 00:22:20

Yeah.

Mia: 00:22:20

They need empowerment.

Joshua: 00:22:22

Yeah, and that's actually my question for you is it a

Joshua: 00:22:24

about empowerment for you?

Joshua: 00:22:26

That was your source of strength to kind of share that with others?

Joshua: 00:22:31

I guess what I'm asking is, We have an audience here that have been people

Joshua: 00:22:35

that have gone through whole kinds of different things in their lives.

Joshua: 00:22:39

What would be your advice to somebody saying what you've said,

Joshua: 00:22:43

because these are all great nuggets that I think are really important.

Joshua: 00:22:48

If you were to sum it up into a nice, maybe a couple sentences or so, what

Joshua: 00:22:52

would you say to somebody that would open up to you and say, "I'm going through

Joshua: 00:22:56

this and I'm not sure what to do?"

Joshua: 00:22:58

What would be your advice to them?

Mia: 00:23:01

One of the things that immediately comes to mind is actually completely

Mia: 00:23:06

separate from my own divorce experiences.

Mia: 00:23:10

This was something that came later.

Mia: 00:23:11

My daughter went through anorexia.

Mia: 00:23:14

She is now healthy and doing well, but there was a period as a teenager

Mia: 00:23:20

that I worried about her taking her own life every single day.

Mia: 00:23:26

There was such dark, dark places and such deep anxiety and depression, and

Mia: 00:23:31

I often just was grasping at straws to try to make sure that I could be there

Mia: 00:23:36

for her, and one of the moments that I remember that was really integral

Mia: 00:23:40

and that I know that she kept in mind, is that you can feel what you feel.

Mia: 00:23:48

You have every right to feel that way.

Mia: 00:23:50

You need to acknowledge those things and feel them, but don't live there.

Mia: 00:23:56

Give it a little bit of time.

Mia: 00:23:57

Give it a little bit of room, but don't stay in that place, and I know that's

Mia: 00:24:02

something that she has used going forward, and one of the other things that I did

Mia: 00:24:06

tell her as well was, "When you're in your darkest moment, there has to be that

Mia: 00:24:11

little spark somewhere deep down inside."

Mia: 00:24:13

find that spark and just give it a little bit of air.

Mia: 00:24:16

Just keep breathing on it.

Mia: 00:24:17

Just keep breathing on it because it's going to grow.

Mia: 00:24:20

You get a little bit of empowerment.

Mia: 00:24:23

When I'm coaching women or when I'm talking to my audience, I'm always

Mia: 00:24:27

saying, like, as a photographer too, I get to see a lot of people's insecurities

Mia: 00:24:31

and how they view themselves can be so harsh, and a lot of that comes

Mia: 00:24:36

from what we get from the people we've allowed to get close to us, right?

Mia: 00:24:41

One of the things that I like to say is, "You get compliments", right?

Mia: 00:24:45

Somebody will compliment you.

Mia: 00:24:46

Somebody will say something nice about you, and we all feel so awkward

Mia: 00:24:50

immediately it's like, "Oh my God, I don't know what to say", and you

Mia: 00:24:53

downplay it because, oh my gosh, they can't possibly be talking about

Mia: 00:24:57

who you are as a person, right?

Mia: 00:24:58

It has to be some inanimate thing about what you're wearing or whatever, and I

Mia: 00:25:03

say the person that's complimenting you doesn't have to say anything, and if

Mia: 00:25:09

we think about this, it's more likely that people are going to say bad things.

Mia: 00:25:14

People tend to like to be negative more than, they like to

Mia: 00:25:17

spit positive things outwardly.

Mia: 00:25:20

When someone pays you that compliment, when somebody gives you

Mia: 00:25:23

a positive little nugget, believe it.

Mia: 00:25:27

Hold on to that.

Mia: 00:25:28

Live it.

Mia: 00:25:29

They don't have to be saying that, so I feel like people need to allow

Mia: 00:25:33

themselves to revel in that a little bit more than they usually do, and

Mia: 00:25:36

especially women who have kind of let themselves become beat down, perhaps by

Mia: 00:25:43

a relationship that they've experienced that they're trying to survive after

Mia: 00:25:47

and figure out a way to thrive.

Mia: 00:25:49

You need to let the little things grow for you.

Mia: 00:25:53

You need to believe those things because they carry you through some

Mia: 00:25:56

of those darker, harder moments, so for me, it definitely is about

Mia: 00:26:01

empowering other people to find the pieces of themselves that they can grow

Mia: 00:26:07

and breathe more life to until they become the best version of themselves.

Joshua: 00:26:13

Wow I am just like, yes, I appreciate to the mountains and the

Joshua: 00:26:19

valleys below because it is so important for us to do that, is to create that

Joshua: 00:26:26

image, and I'm sorry, I'm getting emotional here thinking about this because

Joshua: 00:26:29

I've been thinking about all the times, even as a male too, that sometimes even

Joshua: 00:26:35

the male masculinity, we hear so much about, "Oh yeah, you have to be tough.

Joshua: 00:26:39

You can't cry, you can't do this and that, because if you do, that's going

Joshua: 00:26:43

to be looked at as being feminine and you can't look at that way.

Joshua: 00:26:46

You have to be tougher than that.", and I feel that nowadays, that sort of

Joshua: 00:26:51

conversation is still kind of wavering as in terms of what that direction is,

Joshua: 00:26:55

but, what I didn't realize, and I think what you opened my eyes to right now,

Joshua: 00:27:00

is that women are still fighting that battle and still trying to persevere full

Joshua: 00:27:07

through that as much as they possibly can, and I think that there's been a

Joshua: 00:27:11

lot of progress, don't get me wrong, in terms of what you've been able to achieve

Joshua: 00:27:16

as it relates to that, but just being able to have that positive comment, I

Joshua: 00:27:20

can't tell you how many times I wish in my life that I had that growing

Joshua: 00:27:23

up, and I feel like that it all starts with being a kid, so with that said-

Mia: 00:27:28

Yeah.

Joshua: 00:27:28

You are doing some awesome things too to help even adults and maybe even

Joshua: 00:27:34

kids that want to become adults in this field to help them become something

Joshua: 00:27:39

better for themselves, and you're ambassador for a nonprofit called The

Joshua: 00:27:43

Crew Collaborative, and I'm wondering if you could spend a few minutes sharing

Joshua: 00:27:46

that with us, because it sounds like exactly what all of us need is to hear

Joshua: 00:27:51

some positive affirmations, especially with this, so I'm going to shut up.

Joshua: 00:27:54

I'm going to let you talk about it.

Mia: 00:27:56

Yeah, so recently I got to graduate as an ambassador with

Mia: 00:28:01

their Crew Collaborative, which is a nonprofit that aims to educate and

Mia: 00:28:05

kind of strip away the stigma that surrounds working in construction,

Mia: 00:28:09

blue collar jobs, that sort of thing, so I actually learned about this.

Mia: 00:28:14

They founded that nonprofit, I believe it was in 2020, and I had seen it

Mia: 00:28:20

through my own work with dealing with the heavy equipment and stuff and kind

Mia: 00:28:24

of have kept my eye on it, and then one day I saw a call for ambassadors and

Mia: 00:28:28

different ways that you can be helping out with their nonprofit, and I just

Mia: 00:28:32

thought, I need to be a part of this.

Mia: 00:28:34

There is something that just really pulls on my heartstrings because I feel that

Mia: 00:28:38

blue collar life and construction work and things like that are things that

Mia: 00:28:42

are getting kind of pulled away from the youth is not getting enough information

Mia: 00:28:47

about it, and people don't realize how they can go about working in the fields.

Mia: 00:28:52

My job being in the blue collar world, I've worked in industry jobs for,

Mia: 00:28:59

gosh, the better part of my career.

Mia: 00:29:01

I used to work as an office manager in a welding shop.

Mia: 00:29:04

I went on to do operations assisting, and now I'm the marketing department for

Mia: 00:29:08

a heavy equipment company, so somehow I've always ended up, and I always think

Mia: 00:29:13

of myself as such a girly girl, but somehow I always end up in these places

Mia: 00:29:17

and industry and I absolutely love it, but had I known back when I was a kid,

Mia: 00:29:24

this was even an option, maybe I wouldn't have waited so long, maybe I would've

Mia: 00:29:28

found it a lot sooner, you know, there are jobs out there that young people

Mia: 00:29:32

don't realize that they can get into, and there are also the jobs that they

Mia: 00:29:37

do realize they can get into, but they have no idea how, so that's kind of

Mia: 00:29:42

what Crew Collaborative is aiming to do.

Mia: 00:29:44

They have a lot of things that they offer programs to get into schools and

Mia: 00:29:48

help educate everybody, so I'm excited to be a part of that and I feel like

Mia: 00:29:52

it's a great fit with what I'm doing with Bigger Diggers because I mean

Mia: 00:29:57

that book, the whole dedication of it was to the blue collar workforce.

Mia: 00:30:02

It was as an encouragement and a thank you to them for choosing this kind of

Mia: 00:30:07

job and having the kind of work ethic that they do, and the hope that they

Mia: 00:30:11

will share that with their children and their children's children because we

Mia: 00:30:16

need that, the backbone of the country.

Mia: 00:30:20

They're building things that we don't think about that we use day to day, but

Mia: 00:30:24

to talk mental health though, something so interesting that construction actually,

Mia: 00:30:30

like what you were saying about men and the whole idea that men can't be soft in

Mia: 00:30:35

any way, that they can't express emotion and stuff, so obviously in an industrial

Mia: 00:30:39

setting and in that trade kind of class of environment, you're expected to be so

Mia: 00:30:45

tough like all of the time, so I'm really hopeful and I'm seeing some development

Mia: 00:30:51

of programs that are kind of gearing up to be able to say, "Hey, you know what?

Mia: 00:30:56

There is a certain amount of awareness we need to start cultivating

Mia: 00:31:00

within this group of people", because the suicide rate is insane.

Mia: 00:31:07

If you look up the statistics, it is among the highest and that speaks volumes to

Mia: 00:31:14

the stress in that life that people are not aware of, and so I would love to see

Mia: 00:31:21

more programs developed in that vein for mental health awareness and that aspect

Mia: 00:31:27

of safety in the workplace really needs to get more attention, and I think even

Mia: 00:31:34

in things like what you and I do with coaching, those are great ways to be

Mia: 00:31:38

able to leverage something because you know, no, not everybody needs to go to

Mia: 00:31:42

a therapist, but, you do need a friend.

Mia: 00:31:46

Sometimes you do need somebody who's going to allow you to bounce things

Mia: 00:31:50

off so that you can decompress and deescalate whatever situation you're

Mia: 00:31:55

feeling in that moment, and then it can help you take on the next day.

Joshua: 00:31:59

Mia, I really appreciate you sharing all of that.

Joshua: 00:32:02

Thanks for sharing about the Crew Collaborative, because I'll going to

Joshua: 00:32:05

put a link into the episode notes about anybody that's interested in being

Joshua: 00:32:09

part of that and being an ambassador.

Joshua: 00:32:12

I think it's really important to not only give equal attention to blue collar

Joshua: 00:32:16

workers, because that's what really allows us to have the infrastructure that we

Joshua: 00:32:20

have today, and that's really important, but more importantly, you nailed it too.

Joshua: 00:32:26

I loved every single thing that you've said tonight has been something that has

Joshua: 00:32:29

been nailed, is that it's really important too to pay attention to the mental health

Joshua: 00:32:34

awareness of other people too, especially those individuals because of that being

Joshua: 00:32:39

so high, and again, my listeners are well familiar with this, but I'm also going to

Joshua: 00:32:44

put a link in the episode notes, if there is a mental health crisis, don't wait.

Joshua: 00:32:49

Reach out to somebody, and 988 is a very important number to have

Joshua: 00:32:53

in the back of your mind whenever somebody's experiencing that.

Joshua: 00:32:56

I'll put some notes in there.

Joshua: 00:32:57

There's a great website, 988, that involves not only the hotline,

Joshua: 00:33:02

but also a whole bunch of things that you can research on your own.

Joshua: 00:33:05

Mia, we're at the end of time, but I want to give you the last few minutes here to

Joshua: 00:33:09

pitch about your life coaching business.

Joshua: 00:33:12

You're a Reiki practitioner also.

Joshua: 00:33:15

I'm not too familiar with the practice.

Mia: 00:33:17

Reiki.

Joshua: 00:33:17

Yes.

Joshua: 00:33:18

Thank you.

Joshua: 00:33:18

Thank you, and I see this is-

Mia: 00:33:19

Reiki.

Mia: 00:33:20

Yeah.

Joshua: 00:33:20

Yeah.

Joshua: 00:33:20

See, this is why I'm learning so much about people as a result of this in

Joshua: 00:33:24

that practice too, so do you mind just describing a little bit about that

Joshua: 00:33:28

as to close us out, about anything that you want to pitch, I should say.

Joshua: 00:33:33

Go ahead.

Mia: 00:33:34

Okay.

Mia: 00:33:35

Yeah.

Mia: 00:33:35

Well, I appreciate the opportunity to mention Midlife Mediator is a part of

Mia: 00:33:40

my website that basically caters to that idea of having that resource when you

Mia: 00:33:47

need to deescalate a situation, so that's available right through my McGlynn books.

Mia: 00:33:52

It's under the personal development section.

Mia: 00:33:55

You can find any of my books there as well, so like I said, right now I have

Mia: 00:33:59

all my children's books available.

Mia: 00:34:01

They're also available on Amazon and coming soon with the follow up

Mia: 00:34:05

to Bigger Diggers, which will be Lucan Two, and you can keep an eye

Mia: 00:34:10

out for my memoirs in the future.

Mia: 00:34:12

I am on TikTok as Midlife Mediator, and that's where I largely post any of

Mia: 00:34:16

my coaching information and any of my information or teaser from my memoir

Mia: 00:34:22

that is currently in progress, and as always, like my photography business is

Mia: 00:34:27

always going strong and I run some digital marketing workshops that are available

Mia: 00:34:31

for people to book for their own site with their team so they can take on the

Mia: 00:34:36

whole marketing thing all on their own, so there's a lot going on in my world

Mia: 00:34:40

and I love teaching people what I know and helping people, so I'm hoping that by

Mia: 00:34:46

sharing this with you and your audience that will reach who it needs to reach.

Joshua: 00:34:52

I think you've done a lot more than just reach out with that last few

Joshua: 00:34:55

moments because you have reached so many people about what you have been

Joshua: 00:35:00

through, but how you've turned it into such a positive transformation for not

Joshua: 00:35:06

only kids, but also for adults too and I really love that not only do you hit

Joshua: 00:35:11

all those angles, but you take that from what's inside your heart, that

Joshua: 00:35:16

choice you made, and I just see it, I hear it tonight from you about that

Joshua: 00:35:21

passion and how much you enjoyed that.

Joshua: 00:35:23

Mia, thanks for Speaking From The Heart with us today.

Joshua: 00:35:26

I really appreciate not only getting to know you better through this

Joshua: 00:35:29

interview, but personally, you've made me realize that I definitely

Joshua: 00:35:34

don't have to be filled with hate.

Joshua: 00:35:36

I really do care about what other people are saying and doing, and that I'm

Joshua: 00:35:40

not going to let the hate enable me.

Joshua: 00:35:43

I'm going to let the positivity enable me, so thank you for sharing today.

Mia: 00:35:49

Yes, thank you for having me.

Mia: 00:35:51

It's been fun.

Joshua: 00:35:53

Maya was one of those guests in which I really had to take a step back

Joshua: 00:35:57

after our episode and think about my own life experiences and what we can do to

Joshua: 00:36:03

ultimately make some of the choices that we have in our lives, and even after our

Joshua: 00:36:08

conversation, we spent some time talking about some of the things that we've been

Joshua: 00:36:11

through both in our lives and including some of the things that had recently

Joshua: 00:36:15

developed even in my own life when it came to working through some of the problems

Joshua: 00:36:19

that even I as a coach and a podcast host, even goes through when it comes to not

Joshua: 00:36:25

only the personal development, but also the professional development as well.

Joshua: 00:36:30

First off, I want to say that it's all about having that right

Joshua: 00:36:35

perspective, and I think that Mia could have easily said, "Yes.

Joshua: 00:36:40

These divorces are going to tear me down.

Joshua: 00:36:42

They are going to make me not feel as complete as I could", and she stood

Joshua: 00:36:48

against that tide in order to say to herself that, "I can do something that

Joshua: 00:36:53

can be incredibly worthwhile", and that's what really made it dynamic for me in that

Joshua: 00:36:59

she was so willing to just put herself on the line knowing that sometimes maybe

Joshua: 00:37:05

even doing that can create some of those tensions, some of that pain, some of those

Joshua: 00:37:10

things that often push us back and forth and holding us to the fire especially,

Joshua: 00:37:17

because that's really tough to be able to do that, but she is a "nothing is

Joshua: 00:37:23

off limits" kind of gal, and I say that exactly because the next morning she

Joshua: 00:37:29

did mention on a post we referencing our Facebook page about the exciting

Joshua: 00:37:34

things that had been happening about her life and that being on this podcast was

Joshua: 00:37:40

something that helped to enjoy and create opportunity for herself and even some

Joshua: 00:37:47

of the people that might be listening to this, and I want to thank her so much

Joshua: 00:37:51

for helping to promote that as well.

Joshua: 00:37:55

It's all about self-help.

Joshua: 00:37:58

It's all about understanding that sometimes we might have to be the ones

Joshua: 00:38:02

that push us to the next level, and I've talked a lot over many, many,

Joshua: 00:38:07

many episodes about the importance of understanding when you need to seek

Joshua: 00:38:12

that help, but now let's change the conversation for a moment to when it

Joshua: 00:38:17

really involves us doing just that: to be able to push ourselves, to have

Joshua: 00:38:23

strong women, to have strong men that help surround us and create some of the

Joshua: 00:38:29

most amazing, heartfelt opportunities, because even as Michael Dugan, the person

Joshua: 00:38:36

that you hear every time that opens this episode or any episode of Speaking from

Joshua: 00:38:41

the Heart says, "When it all converges into a heartfelt experience", it creates

Joshua: 00:38:47

the opportunity to raise people that are not only tough, but they're also

Joshua: 00:38:53

willing to accept when they need to talk to someone about it too, and that's

Joshua: 00:38:58

what I love about Mia is that she's not only just a career oriented person,

Joshua: 00:39:03

but at the same time, she can express her own personality through all the

Joshua: 00:39:07

different things that she opens up with.

Joshua: 00:39:10

Whether that is through contrast and textures with our photography, whether

Joshua: 00:39:15

that is through the books that she has written to help kids get a better

Joshua: 00:39:19

understanding of what's really out there in the world when it comes to

Joshua: 00:39:23

blue collar opportunities and even the important life lessons that those

Joshua: 00:39:28

books offer; but that's exactly it.

Joshua: 00:39:32

We need to be inspired by those life events to be gritty, to be able to be

Joshua: 00:39:37

independent, to know that we need to roll up our sleeves sometimes and say

Joshua: 00:39:42

that we have to put ourselves, our hands and feet bare into the soil, consume

Joshua: 00:39:49

that soil for what it's worth, so that we can grow and nurture ourselves and

Joshua: 00:39:54

into something that is in the cards but are we going to throw ourselves of hate?

Joshua: 00:40:02

Do we really think that anybody really cares how we feel?

Joshua: 00:40:07

There's always that voice.

Joshua: 00:40:09

That's the thing that creates the problems with safety.

Joshua: 00:40:15

I know that many of us can be filled with hate.

Joshua: 00:40:17

I've seen that.

Joshua: 00:40:18

I've been on those Facebook pages, I've been on those LinkedIn pages.

Joshua: 00:40:22

I've been on blogs, ladies and gentlemen, I've been on all of them.

Joshua: 00:40:25

I've seen everything.

Joshua: 00:40:27

I've even had it said to my face, growing up as a kid, I know how

Joshua: 00:40:32

that feels to be treated like dirt.

Joshua: 00:40:36

The bad dirt, not the good dirt, and I know that that can be really, really,

Joshua: 00:40:41

really tough, especially when you really care about what that person's going

Joshua: 00:40:47

through, and they don't care in return.

Joshua: 00:40:52

We can have those very dark places that we sit in, those very dark

Joshua: 00:40:57

places that I've talked about in many of my monologue episodes, in

Joshua: 00:41:00

which I was very scared about the opportunities that presented themselves.

Joshua: 00:41:05

The things that I needed to do to crawl out of the abyss and get into

Joshua: 00:41:09

the light; but do we always have to be dwelling in those dark places?

Joshua: 00:41:16

Do we always have to think that the people, places and things

Joshua: 00:41:19

that we go to are always bad?

Joshua: 00:41:23

As one guest recently put it, it's about being able to have that world life view,

Joshua: 00:41:29

to have that culture of understanding by traveling and seeing where those

Joshua: 00:41:33

places are out there, and I think Mia does that through her imagination and

Joshua: 00:41:39

through her vision of what she sees as the inner beauty which is why I

Joshua: 00:41:43

love the fact that she does marketing.

Joshua: 00:41:44

I love the fact that she does photography.

Joshua: 00:41:47

I love that she expresses herself in her writing because it allows all of

Joshua: 00:41:50

us to understand fully the true picture that we can draw of ourselves if we

Joshua: 00:41:56

had the same tools at our disposal.

Joshua: 00:42:00

Not the same exact tools though, because it's fun to be unique.

Joshua: 00:42:06

It's fun to be different.

Joshua: 00:42:08

It's fun to be on a different type of spectrum, which I've even mentioned

Joshua: 00:42:12

about my autism and how it's impacted me throughout my life, and not knowing the

Joshua: 00:42:16

answer to get to this point has allowed me to have so much freedom, so much

Joshua: 00:42:20

opportunity to realize that I have what it takes, and I think for even Mia I think

Joshua: 00:42:26

that she knows that she has what it takes.

Joshua: 00:42:31

We often have to go through a period of trials in which it pushes us to really

Joshua: 00:42:36

examine whether we are doing the right thing, whether we are getting involved

Joshua: 00:42:41

with all the different types of things that are rolling us into a new future.

Joshua: 00:42:49

Even having those different vehicles that we get to test drive in, whether

Joshua: 00:42:53

they are big construction vehicles, whether they are dark blue Toyota

Joshua: 00:43:00

Prius', which yes, full disclosure, I have a dark blue Toyota Prius.

Joshua: 00:43:07

It doesn't matter though where that vehicle is.

Joshua: 00:43:11

It doesn't matter what it looks like.

Joshua: 00:43:13

It doesn't matter what we do.

Joshua: 00:43:16

We have the tool and we have all the opportunities to use that

Joshua: 00:43:20

tool for our awareness, but it's all about having that spark.

Joshua: 00:43:28

Being able to turn the key over into the ignition creates that chemistry in which

Joshua: 00:43:32

starts your engine so that you're able to propel at whatever speed that you

Joshua: 00:43:36

feel comfortable with, although there are posted speed limits, not only in the

Joshua: 00:43:40

state of Pennsylvania, United States, but all across the world on any roadway that

Joshua: 00:43:45

you travel on, except if you're in the Autobahn, but sometimes we have to have

Joshua: 00:43:51

no speed limit, because sometimes it means that our life is at stake, and I think

Joshua: 00:43:58

that our guest, Mia, certainly examined that sort of possibility with many of

Joshua: 00:44:02

the different choices that she had, but she used those choices to her advantage.

Joshua: 00:44:10

She didn't get dragged down.

Joshua: 00:44:12

She became the best version of herself, and she's allowing herself to have

Joshua: 00:44:18

that opportunity of a lifetime.

Joshua: 00:44:22

I don't know about you, but sometimes having that understanding and having

Joshua: 00:44:26

that conversation with ourselves about what we can potentially become, can

Joshua: 00:44:32

be the most difficult thing that we have ever pursued in our entire lives.

Joshua: 00:44:38

Having strong women though, and having strong men, our moms and dads are even

Joshua: 00:44:44

more important than ever before, and I think being able to understand that,

Joshua: 00:44:48

to have those coworkers that come and surround you and those big moments of

Joshua: 00:44:52

your life, to have family, to be able to do that, whoever you call family,

Joshua: 00:44:57

can be helpful to get you to realize that you are the best of the best.

Joshua: 00:45:06

It's almost as if you are Mr.

Joshua: 00:45:08

Miyagi.

Joshua: 00:45:10

Watching the original Karate Kid, I know that Danielson, you, can be trained to

Joshua: 00:45:17

overcome the odds, to be able to fight back against the Cobra Kai, and be able

Joshua: 00:45:22

to learn so much about yourself and others because it's all about respect

Joshua: 00:45:30

and sometimes getting that respect means that you have to work for it.

Joshua: 00:45:33

You have to roll up your sleeves, you have to do the dirty work, but it doesn't mean

Joshua: 00:45:39

that you have to do it all alone either.

Joshua: 00:45:43

It's all up to you and how you change your mindset that can make it happen

Joshua: 00:45:49

no matter where you're at, and it's all about learning how to grow, how to

Joshua: 00:45:56

achieve, and maybe, just maybe learn how to drive a construction vehicle,

Joshua: 00:46:05

because we all have those precious gifts that we can give to one another.
