About the Music
The music featured in the Waffles & Wisdom experience was created under the artist name Powered by Mia.
What began as a collection of stories and lessons eventually expanded into original music inspired by the themes, emotions, and experiences found throughout the book. Some songs connect directly to specific chapters, while others capture the feelings, reflections, and growth that happen between the pages.
Together, the book, soundtrack, gospel EP, companion experience, and learning resources create a connected journey designed to keep the lessons going long after the chapter ends.

Waffles & Wisdom: The Soundtrack
Original songs inspired by the book.
Some lessons needed pages. Others needed music. The Soundtrack captures the emotion behind the stories - each track lives next to the chapter that inspired it.

My Own Shoes
An anthem against imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and comparison. Stop measuring your journey against everyone else's and trust the value you already bring.

Bet On Me

Not My Energy

Through Every Season
