Wild Creativity Podcast

How do our dreams guide us? How do we keep them safe? How do we celebrate them? And how do we trust the process? What if our dreams want for us to be the most thriving version of ourselves and we have to create the space for that to happen? So. Many Questions. For our April episode, we are journeying with the linocut piece, Damsel Dreamer, exploring the theme of how we meet our ‘dreams’, and call...

What if we could make a commitment to ourselves that welcomed every single part of us and the wisdom it has to share back home into our bodies? Embraced the messy and the wiggly and celebrated it as human? What if that improved not only our relationship with ourselves but everyone and everything we come into contact with? For March’s episode, we journey with the linocut piece, Merging , exploring...

For Series Three we are journeying alongside 12 pieces of art for 2026 each piece of art has a theme and there will be one episode a month that unpacks it a little bit more with a guest. For February’s episode, we journey with Hear Her Howl , and the theme of 'Feel' through a beautifully deep and extensive conversation with Elise, a singer songwriter and one half of Premanjali.  We meander th...

For Series Three we are journeying alongside the Wild Creativity Calendar, each piece of art has a theme and there will be one episode a month that unpacks it a little bit more with a guest. On this first episode, we journey with Inner Cosmos, and the theme of 'Invite' through a conversation with one of my inner circle of humans, Selma. We delve into how our friendship, and the inner circle of hum...

Happy Winter Solstice everyone, welcome to the darkest moments of the year and an invitation into deep hibernation. This bonus episode is a reflection over the past year, the incredible conversations, insights I've received and the wild creative growth the has occurred. I talk about... The Wild Creativity Retreat that I'm holding next October in Ithaki, Greece. My Etsy Shop and how my art practice...

In this episode I speak with Dr Helen Beckett Wilson and Dr Lindsey Metcalf McGrath from Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) who have been studying the experiences of people who have been prescribed medical cannabis in the UK. Their project is called MedCan. Medical Cannabis has been legal to prescribe since 2018, but it’s estimated that under 5 people have received it though the NHS. The stud...

TW: there is mention of sexual assault in this episode, please take care of yourself and avoid this one if that is a not a topic you can hear about. It was through Nya’s determination and following her creative path that inadvertently introduced me to the Moon Phase Goddesses in 2020 (her relationship with them has been much longer - 7 years of research happened before she launched her deck in 201...

A short check-in with Sophie amid the sounds of waves lapping at the beach. Includes reflections on releasing of control and plans to find the magic right in front of us, the power of finding our own ways to prevent stagnancy (hopefully without using it as an avoidance tool) and a story about the goats who come and interrupt the conversation - so there was a special guest after all! AND a SPECIAL...

Take this as an extra little gift!! An extended excerpt from the conversation between Heather and Sophie previously unheard. Our conversation was so long and juicy when we originally recorded that I cut it down a little bit so it didn't exceed one and a half hours. This is Heather's extended answer to my question around how we can release our creative good girl and people pleasing tendencies. Slow...

Join Sophie this Virgo New Moon as she talks to Heather Loweena, founder of Vulva Luv Club (among many other exciting ventures) about the pursuit of holistic pleasure as a form of activism and cultivating nourishing modern-day congregations. Heather Loweena (they/she) has two big passions: connection and pleasure seeking . She has been exploring the tools and resources available to us that can hel...

This Full Moon we dive straight into our conversation with Dr Sara Baumann, who I have been working alongside in different capacities since 2020 - we talk about more in the conversation. This is the bio that I refer to at the beginning of the episode that had me like YES, this is why we are so aligned with our work, even though we come at it from different angles… “Sara Baumann is a global health,...

Happy New Moon! In this episode it's just me, Sophie, again as I take a moment to reflect on the power of the conversations we have had so far - huge gratitude to Tamara, Vero and Laura, they really have been so insightful and inspiring!! I turn the questions that I've been sending to our guests to date on myself, as I realised that I haven't vocalised my answers and current experiences around the...

This Full Moon join Laura Edralin and I as we delve into the converging worlds of creativity, connection and mental health. Laura is a calligraphy artist, happiness facilitator and qualified wellbeing coach, based in West London with her husband and two young children. She started her business, Laura Letters Life, after the practice of calligraphy was an integral part of her recovery and reconnect...

This New Moon I am honoured to be releasing this inspiring conversation that I had with Vero Coya. Vero is an artist, singer, freelance illustrator, hand-poked tattooist and occasional muralist. As we talk, she identifies herself as an all round softie and this is a theme that threads through our conversation as something we both relate to and are learning to work with - maybe even recognising it...

On this first episode of season two of The Firefly Creatrix podcast I am speaking with Tamara, one of the Wild Sky Sisters about her experiences of reclaiming wild creativity… and what even is wild creativity? What can it look like? There are no definitions here, but the conversation opens up and embrace the notion that creativity exists in so many places, not just where we were ‘trained’ to look...

Dropping a little love note to you all on the Summer Solstice (for the northern hemisphere) I hope this message finds you well and energised and that the brightness of this time of year is revealing things that feel good and nourishing to you! I am in the process of planning and recording SERIES TWO and I couldn't be more excited about it! In the first series I journeyed through themes connected t...

A conversational journey into the power and importance of unlearning our conditioning so we can be the creatives we came here to be. Whoosh! This is a big one, and it's been waiting to come through for a while but NOW is PERFECT! This is a reflection of what the process of creating this podcast has taught me to date, how I've been able to LET GO of imposter syndromes and embrace my humanness when...

I dive into this conversation about creativity as a feminine quality, and its relation to sustainable change, social commentary and powerful movements, which therefore means it MUST be political. If politics is "the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status" then creati...

Stories. A staple of my life but not something I'd associated with my creative process until recent times. I unpack my love of fictional stories where I get to know the deep feelings of characters and see myself reflected in the nuances of the human experience. And how accepting and embracing that love has guided me to see the importance of our own stories... the bigness and the full spectrum of t...

A short backstory about how the concept of the divine / spirit / Goddess entered and changed my life, made me question my creative path, and definitely helped me shape how it has developed and evolved. Before that, unknowingly, creativity had been my devotional and healing tool - somewhere that I intuitively went to process the meaning of things! Now it is all deeply connected and entwined; one in...

Exploring the relationship between grief and creativity. Acknowledging the nuanced places where grief shows up. And how the different forms and experiences of grief can affect, derail, morph and even catalyse the creative process. This is a big topic and not one that can be 'ticked off' in an episode. This is a start at unpicking the ways that grief has popped into my life after something that I h...

A topic I'm really passionate about, the menstrual cycle! How we relate to it, collaborate with it, learn about it and respect it. As previously mentioned, one of my passions is Kumari's Adventure with her Moon Cycle , a community creating and championing holistic menstrual education in Nepal. Here I share how working with the ebbs and flows of my menstrual cycle has informed and strengthened my c...

Exploring Creativity as a catalyst and a synonym for social change. And for change itself. This is a space where I explore the intricacies and nuances of creativity and my journey of unravelling the conditioning that I have accumulated around it. My own social change work that I mention is The Country That Shook Kumari's Adventure with her Moon Cycle And the Giving Back page on my website explains...

This is a space where I intend to explore the intricacies and nuances of creativity and my journey of unravelling the conditioning that I have accumulated around it. For this first episode of series one, I had intentions to start with other topics, but it soon became clear that I had to start with PERFECTIONISM! So that it is acknowledged for the huge part that it has played and continues to play...

Welcome to the first podcast episode from The Firefly Creatrix, an opportunity to introduce the varied and meandering adventure that I've been on through the medium of creativity. This is a space where I intend to explore the intricacies and nuances of creativity and my journey of unravelling the conditioning that I have accumulated around it. Thank you for joining me here, I'd love to hear f...
