EP 50 -Living Your Passion & Embracing True Beauty with Emma Stokwielder.

In this inspiring episode of Mia’s World, I’m joined by the incredibly talented Emma Stokwielder, a photographer who recently took the leap of faith to leave her 9-to-5 job and pursue her passion full-time.  Emma shares her journey, starting from her beginnings in the Netherlands, her move to Dubai, and how her love for photography and videography blossomed into the career of her dreams. Emma opens up about the pivotal moment she decided to take that leap after two years of balancing her passion alongside her corporate job. Together, we dive into the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned along the way. We also reflect on a personal photoshoot experience I had with Emma back in May, which sparked a heartfelt conversation about self-image, societal pressures, and how filters often mask our true beauty.  From that moment, we decided to launch a movement called #ThisIsMe, encouraging everyone to embrace their authentic selves. Here’s how you can join: 📸 Take a selfie — no makeup, no filters. 📲 Tag @its_mias_world and @emmastwd,  and use the hashtag #ThisIsMe. Starting January 2025, I’ll reach out to every participant for a FREE 2-hour photoshoot with Emma to celebrate your natural beauty and spread the message that you are perfect just as you are. This episode is not just about Emma’s inspiring journey of turning her passion into a career but also about empowering self-love and authenticity. Let’s kick off 2025 with a message of beauty, confidence, and faith in our dreams.  Tune in, get inspired, and join us in making this movement happen. 🎧 Listen now and let’s celebrate the real YOU!
