We recently had the chance to connect with Mia Raymond, LMFT, CEDS-C, APsA Candidate and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Mia, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: When was the last time you felt true joy?
I have the privilege of doing what brings me joy everyday.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Mia from MIA. Growing up, all the plane tags had my name. Becoming an analyst was written in the stars. I’m humbled to have the opportunity to deeply pay attention and listen everyday.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
The story goes, I started talking at 18 months in full sentences and never stopped. My first word was a full sentence: “No.”
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The first time I met one of my greatest mentors, I told him I often fantasize my analyst raised me. They asked, “What do you think may be different if they did?” I replied, “I’d be a lot less scared of myself.”
As someone fearless in nature, learning to face myself has been the most courageous act. It’s a gift to have the opportunity to help others learn to sit deeply with all the complex parts of themselves.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
Magic.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: How do you know when you’re out of your depth?
When we lose touch with humility, we lose touch with humanity.
