The Wizard In The Wild

Happy and Sad : Part 2

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 13:20:00 +0000

This is part 2 of our conversation following the loss of my brother earlier this year as we take an in-depth look at the lessons, and blessings, of Grief. We also discuss psychic powers and the importance of dreams.

Grief, to me, has been an Initiation. A force for change. A change I didn’t want, or choose, but it has truly been a catalyst for transformation. Grief resets everything. The way we see ourselves, the way we relate to others, the way we show up. This is the most potent time in my life, whilst being the most challenging. It is a time of duality, polarity, of constant contradiction.

This is for anyone who has ever loved, and lost; or for those of you who are supporting someone in the midst of grief.

Infinite gratitude and love to the magical Mimi Helmer who guided this conversation with such compassion and grace. We love you.

Happy and Sad : Part 1

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 07:07:00 +0000

In this episode, I discuss a very personal experience of grief, with the loss of my brother earlier this year. With warmth and sensitivity, we discuss the polarities within grief. How we can hold space for happiness and sadness at the same time. How grief changes us, but can also open us, and expand us.

This is a short 15 min episode, "Part 1", as a prelude to a fuller, more in-depth conversation. This is for anyone who has ever loved, and lost; or for those of you who are supporting someone in the midst of grief.

Infinite gratitude and love to the magical Mimi Helmer who guided this conversation with such compassion and grace. We love you.

You Can Live Your Dream with Sofia Pineiro

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 05:00:00 +0000

What a blessing to have Sofia Pineiro join us this week! Sofia was our first ever guest on The Wizard In The Wild, and we're thrilled to have her back as our last guest of Season 1.

Sofia has experienced a wave of change since she first joined us, from moving to Faial Island in the Azores (Portugal) to landing her dream job presenting a TV show (out soon!) in Belgium.

We talk about raising Third Culture Kids: new identities, letting go of the past (or not) to make place for the present, and how to model behaviour for our children whilst facing our own fears and insecurities.

Sofia shares the empowerment she feels through reclaiming her sense of Self amongst motherhood, and shares her wisdom on allowing ourselves to take space, being kind to ourselves, and what that actually sounds and looks like.

We talk about how to anchor change and growth into everyday life. How to let go of the need to control the outcome and to breathe into the present moment. Most importantly, to remember to soften our heart, so that we can shift our perspective.

This episode is big, bold and juicy and we’re beyond excited to share it with you.

Find Sofia @sofiapineiro on Instagram.

With all our love until next time,
