"Mia is changing the game and redefining self-love, self-care, advocacy, and what being ill means. Mia has this way that makes you feel as if you're the most important person in the world. Seeing myself through her eyes was one of the first times I felt truly accepted since my illnesses showed up in my life."
"For the past twenty years, The Founder, who was a child when first afflicted with debilitating pain, has astounded everyone she knows and meets with brilliance, light and fortitude. Her spirit and energy are beyond inspirational and her positivity in the face of constant adversity is the definition of courage."
"With compassion, empathy, grace, and a passion for your calling, you are just amazing. I see your deep pain and you are so amazingly articulate and beautiful and loving to do what you do!"
"Mia is a walking definition of, 'warrior,’ and has more than earned esteem and I wholly support her incredible work. You won’t find a more compassionate advocate who, in spite of her own chronic pain, somehow finds amazing strength to gently and consistently motivate others. "
"Mia’s heart and mind are fully submerged in the work of improving the lives of those who live the way she does. Her efforts are tireless and relentless. A noteworthy fact is that Mia does not just talk the talk, she walks the walk."
"As a Pain Warrior on the center stage at times, she still publicly declares her hardships, such as the struggle to achieve the strength to make it on center stage in the first place that day- but that is why Mia is so special. She is a woman of the people."
"She writes articles for pain publications, travels to speaking engagements & even has been nominated for her work all the while it causes her disabling pain. Now she has opened a fantastic new place to spread her positive vibe on the rocks with a twist to help those of us who feel like we have been forgotten!"
"Anyone who has the pleasure of meeting/speaking with Mia knows: her life philosophy works, her heart is dedicated to the mission, she is leading the fight for change within us, the pain community and our nation."

Tom was a major support of everything this charity stands for within moments of learning about it. Him & 𝕄.𝕄𝕒𝕪𝕤 crossed paths at a legislative related event where it was agreed upon that "Real recognize Real", so they've been wholesome colleagues ever since.

This ain't bad- as that status presents growth opportunity, provides security, is supposed to help ensure legalities + many organizations like that do AMAZING work but we like how WE do things!
The approach here is similar to any charity & it remains just that, nothin' more complicated.
We do not want or need anybody else's permission to do our work so it has been granted, by us.
Can ya dig it!
Took on the quest to cultivate Connection because she felt this was lacking. Having begun initially due to agonizing, un-treatable, incurable, life long pain-- didn't take long to realize every human hurts somehow-- this drove her to not only study that but make a career out of it.
Furthermore, due to the lack of authentic journalism or conversation in general, she has launched her own Media Agency.
