Mirror Mirror On the Mic

Holiday chaos incoming!! In this solo Mal episode, I get real about family triggers, boundaries, and how to stay sane through it all. Practical tools, laughs and real healing! And thank you in advance for listening and passing along to anyone that needs a lil Thanksgiving pep talk.

Thanksgiving means family, food and potentially feelings you are not "supposed" to have. We are reminiscing on the ghosts of Thanksgiving past, the foods we loved and the chaotic magic of the holiday. We will also give you practical ways to enjoy the day without gaining any additional emotional scars.

Why do we unwind with murder? Like, we'll light a candle, pour some tea, and listen to a podcast about a guy named Gary who buried people in his backyard. There is something strangely comforting about hearing the worst case scenario from the safety of your couch. But maybe our obsession with true crime says more about control, and survival than we think. Let's unpack the psychology behind our love of all things creepy-without having to sleep with the lights on.

You know how girl math justifies a $200 Sephora trip because it's basically free if you use Klarna? Well, welcome to Emotional Math. It's when you justify texting your ex because you "just need closure"-or buying yourself new throw pillows because you survived the week. Emotional spending isn't always money-it's energy, time, forgiveness. So let's talk about how to stop going broke emotionally, one impulse swipe at a time.

Inez and I wanted to talk about the heavy topic of race and racism since we are different races. We reflect our own experiences and then highlight some amazing organizations in the Atlanta area that are bridging the gap between white and black people.  Hoping the episode gives you a reason to reflect and grow.

Whether you realize it or not, you sell everyday-to your boss, your kids, and your partner, even yourself! But somewhere along the way, sales got a bad rep...time to fix that. I'll be breaking down 5 sales methods so you can use the best parts in your everyday life. Can't wait for you to join!

Adult friendships are so hard!! But we are here to help you figure out who is watering you and who needs to be pulled out like a weed. Not the fun kind...the bad kind. Time to audit those friendships so you are closer to having peace and building a community around you that fills your cup!!

On this episode Mirror Mirror on the Mic, I am sitting down with my friend Pete. Pete recently made headlines because a dream vacation turned into a very scary ordeal when he became stranded at sea. This is a story you do not want to miss!!

In the Pilot Eppy of Mirror Mirror on the mic, we are cracking open the shiny word of corporate hustle, performative leadership, and that slow emotional sleep that happens when you trade your peace for productivity. From the sales floor to the boardroom, they share real stories about waking up inside a system that praises burnout and calls it ambition. 

Welcome to Mirror Mirror on the Mic, where laughter meets healing and honesty gets loud. Hosted by Malissa Matia, former corporate leader turned storyteller and speaker, this show is for women who are done pretending everything's fine. Each week Malissa (and co-host Inez) crack open the messy middle of real life-talking burnout, boundaries, friendships, motherhood, identity, and the brave art of starting over. Through raw conversations, hilarious confessions and a few "mirror checks" along the way, you'll find the courage to see yourself clearly, love yourself deeply, and rebuild a life that actually fits.
