Back to the Earth: A Mother & Daughter’s Journey to Purpose and Peace

On this episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Ana Carolina and Antonia Nicole, a mother-daughter duo who own, manage, and operate the Wildland Sanctuary.

For nearly a decade, Ana Carolina has lived off the grid with her daughter, Antonia, embracing a life rooted in simplicity, intention, and a deep connection to the Earth. Far removed from the noise of modern society, they have created a lifestyle centered around harmony with nature—growing their own food, living sustainably, and honoring the natural rhythms of the land.

What began as a personal journey of healing and reconnection has evolved into something far greater—Wildland Sanctuary. More than a place, it is a sacred space designed for restoration, reflection, and rediscovery. While the sanctuary is home to breathtaking and majestic birds, its true purpose lies in offering people an opportunity to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves and the world around them.

In a fast-paced world filled with constant distractions, Ana and Antonia invite others to return to something essential—to stillness, to presence, and to wholeness.

Ana’s journey began in Brazil, where she was raised on a farm surrounded by the beauty and sounds of nature. As a child, she spent hours observing birds and collecting their feathers—moments that quietly planted the seeds of a greater calling.

After moving to the United States, that connection faded—until she found herself drawn back through volunteering at an exotic bird sanctuary. In those quiet, meaningful moments, she rediscovered her purpose and began the path that would eventually lead to the creation of Wildland Sanctuary.

This episode is more than a conversation—it is a story of healing, purpose, and returning to what truly matters.

Listen as the story unfolds.

Because that's the name of the sanctuary. We want the guests to know a little bit about where you're from, where you were born in Brazil. What was that? Where was that?

SPEAKER_00 2:50

Yes. My name is Anna Catalina. Yes. First of all, thank you, Cornell, to have me here. Yes. It's an honor and privilege to us to be here.

SPEAKER_03 3:00

Good, good, good, good.

SPEAKER_00 3:02

So as the story started eight years ago, nine years ago, actually, when Antonia and I, Antonia's my daughter, we bought this land. And in the beginning, we want to make a farm. But as you guys know, we ended up doing a sanctuary.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

And the funny part is we thought we're gonna make a farm in one year and take a lot more than we expect. It don't work like that. It don't work like that. But in today's, we turned this property a sanctuary because it's beautiful and everything we do there is by hand. I love it. Madden and daughter building.

SPEAKER_03 3:48

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 3:49

And we love birds. We're from Brazil. We've been raised. I've been raised in the farm in Brazil, which the birds are free. So that's the word idea coming from.

SPEAKER_02 4:00

So so in Brazil, like where in Brazil were you born?

SPEAKER_00 4:05

I'm from Goiânia, Goiania, Goiás. Okay. But I've been raised part of my life in Mato Grosso.

SPEAKER_03 4:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:12

Where it is cow farm, a lot of in the rainforest, basically. Farm girl.

SPEAKER_02 4:18

Yes, yes. Now, so at what age did you come to America?

SPEAKER_00 4:22

I come when I'm 21 for the first time.

SPEAKER_02 4:25

Okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

And I am single mom, so I didn't want to be far from my daughter. I go back to Brazil.

SPEAKER_02 4:33

So wait. So you had Antonia in Brazil.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

In Brazil. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 4:41

Okay, because you know I'm I'm trying to do the numbers in my head because you know, and of course I know my listeners have watched this. I'm trying to do the numbers as well. They're like, they look young, Cornell. What are we doing right now? So you had Antonio before the age of 21.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Yes, I have an Antonio when I'm 18 years old. Yes, yes. I was a single mom. Okay. Young mom, and I'm very grateful for.

SPEAKER_02 5:07

Yes, because I gotta tell you, I'm really impressed. Not a lot of moms get the that luxury to have that relationship with their daughter that do the business and all that stuff. So we want to dive into your world just a little bit, Antonia. So mom comes to America. What was that like? Well, I mean, you're still like very, very young. So when did you come to America?

SPEAKER_01 5:32

I came when I was about six years old.

SPEAKER_02 5:34

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:36

And when I came, I had some memory, but I would still go always to Brazil. Every year we would be consistently going. So I always stayed very connected. Okay. And it really is. I wanna add into something that she said earlier before I dive in deeper to me.

SPEAKER_03 5:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

About she always, the only thing that she was ever good at drawing was a farm. So all her life, all she can draw is a little fence and some horses. So it was something that was in her since even a child. It was even something that when she was younger, she would have always had that vision of making that place for people to have a sanctuary and make that community. So I believe it was always there. She just we tapped into it now. And so going back to, I do have set my calls of being in Brazil, but most of my life I have been here.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

I actually feel more connected now. Right. About last year, I went to Brazil for a year and a half. Okay. And I really got to feel what it is to live outside of the country.

SPEAKER_03 6:45

Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:45

And it's um it's so beautiful and so empowering to be so connected.

SPEAKER_02 6:53

Beautiful. And now let me ask you, because you know, you guys have the Spanish language, yes. Portuguese. Portuguese, yes.

SPEAKER_01 7:03

Oh my goodness, correct. You just Brazilians in Spanish.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

I've met a few Brazilians that know Spanish. We know Spanish too, but this is true, but Spanish is not the language. No. Is Portuguese?

SPEAKER_00 7:17

Yes, it's Portuguese, it's the first language in Brazil.

SPEAKER_02 7:21

Did you guys know? I never knew. Oh, exciting. That's good. Oh, okay. So wow. Because Portuguese is a little bit more of a challenging language, I feel. Yes, it is. Than the Spanish.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

You're right.

SPEAKER_02 7:37

How long did it take you to like learn English where you could say like two sentences?

SPEAKER_00 7:43

Good question. Funny story is when I moved to the United States, I learned Spanish first. Oh. And uh really and then I say, wait a minute, I am on the United States. I need to learn English. But then I learned English, so now it's my third language.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

But when I moved here, a lot of Spanish people in the Spanish community, I'm sorry, Petito.

SPEAKER_03 8:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

So it's so beautiful. I learned Spanish. I feel close to the Portuguese.

unknown 8:15

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

And then I say, uh-uh, we are in the United States. We need to speak English. Yes, yes, yes. So taking me a couple of years to learn, and I'm still learning.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Yes, yes. And it was the same for well, did you learn Spanish as well?

SPEAKER_01 8:30

I learned Spanish along with my English. Okay. So I kind of learned it along the way, the way my mom learned the Spanish, the people talk. Actually, I have a very important comment on that. In schools, they have mostly teachers who are Spanish teachers. So when I came from Brazil, I had no teacher who could help me in my language.

SPEAKER_02 8:51

No.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

So they would help me in Spanish, and we kind of would just go back. So I was easier for me to learn. I learned Spanish and English at the same time because when I was in school trying to learn English, my teacher was a Spanish teacher, so she couldn't. So I learned Spanish in that way of talking to people and trying to learn English. It's a real blessed.

SPEAKER_02 9:09

Wow, that is amazing. You know, with I know a lot of times when people come to this country from another country, they get this culture shock. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 9:22

By the way, that's why we bought the land. I was so scared to live in the city. Even Naples is so secure and so safe. Yeah. And I choose that because this, I say, I want to raise my daughter in this magical place. Yeah. And I want to make enough farm. And I want to do that. And I want to have a little Brazil in Naples. That's how we started.

SPEAKER_02 9:45

I love that.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

That's how we started, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 9:48

Now, because you have all these unique, because you have other birds as well that is at the century. Yes. But parrot speaks something different. Like it's, you know, when when when people want to see birds, they always want parrots to be a part of that.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 10:07

I never understood why that is. And now let me ask you guys, do you think it's because maybe some of them speak and stuff like that?

SPEAKER_00 10:15

Yes, could be. There's a lot of good things about them. For example, they're very healthy animals. They eat seeds and nuts. The poop doesn't smell bad. And they are safe and they speak, like you say. It's so interesting when you have a bird can say, Good morning, how are you?

SPEAKER_02 10:36

Right, right.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

And I say whole sentence and the connection with them, it's freedom.

SPEAKER_02 10:43

Now, does any of your parents do you do you train any of them to speak or no?

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Well, actually, we interact with the bird and they are with us all day long. Okay, okay. So they learn how to speak just to be with us. We put in music and as is it's so real. They understand and they learn.

SPEAKER_02 11:03

Oh, yeah. They do when we put music.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

Yeah. Yes. When we put music, they feel it, they love it. Pituto loves music. He'll start bobbing his head, he'll start going along with it.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

So, and they feel like your people love birds because they're awesome. Oh, yeah. They have beautiful frequency. Their frequency, just being around them, the freedom that they carry of being wild and free. Yes. It's just something that reminds us to be wild and free.

SPEAKER_02 11:32

Now, what are some of the other birds you have on the sanctuary?

SPEAKER_00 11:36

Right now we have a macaws, blue and gold macaw. And Scarlet Macaw is all red.

SPEAKER_03 11:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:44

We also have a livestock.

SPEAKER_03 11:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:46

Like a donkey and a goat, and we're working on it receiving a horse soon.

unknown 11:52

Nice, nice.

SPEAKER_00 11:53

Something funny about the birds also. I have this huge, this huge feather collection since I was little from Brazil.

SPEAKER_02 12:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

And I started making, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_02 12:05

And I started.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

And when she's like eight years old, we started, she said, Mom, what are we gonna do with all these feathers? And we started making jewelry with our own collection. We had it for years.

SPEAKER_03 12:22

Beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 12:23

So then people love it so much. They want it more. And we we always curious where is the feather coming from when you purchase a feather? So we opened this company called Naples Exotic Feather. It's ecological, sustainable.

SPEAKER_02 12:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

Because we always know where those feather is coming from. And always it's coming from us, bird naturally shed.

unknown 12:49

I like it. I like it.

SPEAKER_00 12:50

And we love it because these guys live 100 years, right, Antonio?

SPEAKER_01 12:54

Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't. No, it's okay. I just got so excited.

SPEAKER_00 12:59

She loves her feathers.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

I do. And another thing as well, it's um we started this with the knot when we got the sanctuary working with birds. We realized that their energy is so powerful, that they can bring such peace in different frequencies, and they carry so much every different bird, they carry so much different personality.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Right.

SPEAKER_01 13:24

And when you carry a feather that has that frequency of that bird, you feel it. You feel it automatically. You're feeling better, you're feeling that strength, that ancestral strength as well.

SPEAKER_03 13:35

Right.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

So when we started this, it was to bring that to people, and it was actually more to bring it to ourselves. Right. We wanted to feel more connected with our birds, and then we realized that we should be helping others as well.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:49

Yes, that's why we made a one-of-a-kind jewelry. And we created this collection, mother and daughter collection, where we sit down and you handmade everything. We also do workshops, bring the teenagers, people recovering, kids, because it's amazing. I always say less is more.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

Yeah. Now, with you kind of having that calling for animals and all that stuff, going to school, what was that like for you in school? What kind of what kind of young lady was you?

SPEAKER_00 15:56

Uh, I was You went deep. I was very positive always. And um I always want animals around me. Yeah. I cannot see an animal and then bring it home. Since I was little, I bring all the dogs home, all the cats home.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

Oh man. Mom was upset with you for getting out of the day.

SPEAKER_00 16:13

Yes, always. She said, No more dogs, no more. And we ended up with 10 dogs one day. Oh wow. And my mom said, No more.

SPEAKER_03 16:20

Yeah, don't do it.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

And I think it's the sign already, uh, we were doing this.

SPEAKER_02 16:27

Now, with with you and your mom doing this, Antonio, and you you you're still doing school or you done with school?

SPEAKER_01 16:35

Well, right now, I'm currently not in school.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

I am thinking of going back for psychology, actually. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:43

This is beautiful. Now, like when you when you were your journey started here in school in those earlier times, what what was that like knowing that you you're gonna be doing something with your mom?

SPEAKER_01 16:58

Well, I would like to say I always try to stay very positive. When we got the property, I was very young.

unknown 17:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:06

And I remember, I love the story that my mom was to tell because I I don't even remember the half the things that we went through. Because as a teenager, as you're in middle school, you wanna look good, you wanna have clean, you wanna look nice dressed up. And I couldn't have white sneakers because we lived out there. Nah, we're in the darn terround. We are in the dark road. I was having to literally go to school with my shoes wrapped in like plastic bags and take. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

And then it's Naples Larna.

SPEAKER_01 17:39

Exactly to the Naples. So living out there was it was a very interesting and beautiful way because I I feel like I've never was the person to fit in, but I wanted to fit in, but it could never, it was never a part. But it always, I've always been that one person to be very motherly and take care of everybody. Right. So that's why I also like to believe that this project was something that was made up in the heavens for me and her to do that.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

That's true story. That's true story. I remember when she's going to the bus and she's got a plastic bag, put her white shoes on, put her flip-flop, walk to the bus stop and the dirty road, and get her shoes, put her shoes and say, Mom, I got this. You know? She says, That's not my dream life, but I love you. I will do for you. And and I'm happy. This she's just 10 years old.

SPEAKER_02 18:34

Yeah, yeah. Wow. No, she's just 10-11 years old. Wow, that is so cool.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

That's the other thing about Antonia. She's learned how to drive a skid still. Oh, yeah, she's the one who made those arrols on the sanctuary. Guys, this is uh I always say this is a beautiful blast, this mess.

SPEAKER_02 18:56

I I I gotta say, you know, because so you weren't, you you don't rebel or nothing. Like, you know how kids rebel in their mom when they can't get what they want and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

You didn't I feel like we always do. I'm not gonna lie. Because it was tough. At first, I didn't understand it. I was very young.

SPEAKER_03 19:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:16

But I would always say that I always believed in her vision. And I was the I believed even though I didn't understand. Right. That's true. I was there.

SPEAKER_00 19:27

That's good. That's good. I can tell that. I can tell that.

SPEAKER_02 19:29

I like that. I like that. Now, you know, with with a lot going on in Naples, and you guys are just like, you're in Naples, but like literally kind of on the outskirts of it. What is that like? You know, just you know, leaving the sanctuary so often just so you can let the rest of Naples know that you exist and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 19:51

Yeah, that's amazing. That's wonderful. I always say, we are in Naples, but we feel we're not in Naples. There's a lot of people go to other countries, do a retreat, and uh relax and find themselves, connect to Mother Earth. The purpose of the sanctuary is this, they say, guys, we don't need to go another country. We have a sanctuary here in Naples, Florida now. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

Now, for people that now are curious, like, okay, what is what does visitation look like? When can like a group of kids come and get to interact with the kids? What are good days? What is that like?

SPEAKER_00 20:32
