My story

At 30, I had everything I was told would make me happy—a successful television career, marriage, a home, cars, and all the outward markers of success. Yet, something in me whispered, Is this it?

That whisper became a call I couldn’t ignore. I left it all behind, searching for something deeper, something real. For years, I followed the wild call of my heart, wandering the world and immersing myself in the beauty of diverse cultures, landscapes, and ways of being.

From the sun-drenched cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the vibrant streets of India, I built a life of adventure, contemplation, and service—living in Italy, running a nonprofit in India, and walking alongside people on their journeys of healing and transformation. I fell in love, experienced the heights of passion and creativity, and navigated the depths of heartbreak and loss.

Through it all, I came to understand that true healing isn’t about fixing others—it’s about coming home to yourself. I once believed that love could mend another’s wounds, but I learned that we each must walk our own path to healing. I discovered that love, creativity, and wholeness weren’t things I had to chase or earn; they were already within me, waiting to be remembered.

Now, in my 50s, I walk alongside others on their journeys of healing and self-discovery. As a spiritual guide, retreat leader, and trauma integration coach, I create spaces for others to pause, reconnect, and listen to the whispers of their own hearts. Whether through nature-based coaching, immersive retreats, or deep soul work, I walk with those who are ready to step into a more authentic, grounded, and heart-led way of being.

I share my reflections on my blogs, The Sacred Seed and Cindy Sofia on Substack, and I’m currently writing a memoir that weaves together the lessons and stories from my extraordinary journey.

This work is not about striving—it’s about remembering. Remembering who you are, remembering your connection to God and the earth, and remembering how to live with presence, love, and trust. If you feel the pull toward something more, something deeper, I invite you to take this journey with me.
