Every chapter leaves something to think about. These songs leave something to feel. Press play, then turn the page.
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.

Original music from Powered by Mia that complements the Waffles & Wisdom experience.
An anthem for anyone who has ever been overlooked, rejected, or underestimated. Rejection doesn't define your worth. Sometimes being overlooked says more about the opportunity than it does about you. Keep believing, keep growing, and remember... they're missing out.
