Welcome to ’s Spark of Awareness, a weekly 15-minute reflection for leaders to reclaim inner authority in a world shaped by algorithms and constant stimulation.
Recording from Coppet on the Switzerland–France border while finishing training in energetic healing and family system constellation, Sophie Vo reflects on a two-and-a-half-year transformation from gaming executive (Head of Studio at Voodoo, GM at PlayStation) to leadership and transformative Coach.
After two abrupt corporate cutbacks and dismissals, Sophie took a break to pursue self-mastery and sat with plant medicine (Yagé) in Colombia, which deepened her understanding of human nature, distraction, and the roots of conflict, which helped her reconnect with her Vietnamese ancestral and shamanic roots.
Returning recently to sit again with the medicine in the jungle, she feels she has closed a chapter of recalibrating career and relationships, leaving games to prioritize nature and connection. With the space cleared, Sophie is now expanding a bigger, scarier decade-long vision: building a sanctuary in nature for healing, education, and community. She explains plant medicine as a way to face truth, release stuck emotions, and integrate change through ongoing group support, and previews upcoming episodes on emotions (love) and human needs.
