In this episode, Caggie is joined by Chris Corsini, author of The Audacity Experiment, for an insightful conversation on personal transformation, energetic alignment and reclaiming our power. Together, they explore how challenging experiences can become catalysts for growth, why we often find ourselves repeating familiar patterns, and how shifting our perspective can open the door to new possibilities. Drawing on concepts from quantum physics, including the observer effect and quantum entanglement, Chris shares his perspective on how our thoughts, beliefs and attention shape the way we experience reality. He also explores using astrology and spiritual tools as a means of self-discovery, alongside the importance of setting boundaries, cultivating self-respect and becoming more conscious of the stories we tell ourselves. Offering a fresh perspective on moving beyond limiting beliefs, this conversation explores what it means to take ownership of our experiences and create a life that feels more aligned. Topics covered in the episode: 🪐 How the Dark Night of the Soul can become a catalyst for personal transformation 🪐 Using astrology and spiritual tools to navigate life without giving away our power 🪐 Why setting boundaries, cultivating self-respect and reclaiming our energy are essential for growth 🪐 How quantum physics inspires Chris's perspective on the power of observation, thought and possibility 🪐 Breaking free from limiting beliefs and rewriting the stories we attach to past experiences 🪐 How becoming more intentional with our thoughts, energy and choices can open us up to new possibilities A thought-provoking conversation that reminds us that while we cannot always change what has happened to us, we have the power to change the meaning we give it and the direction we choose to move in.— A special thank you to Pandora for supporting this season.

In this episode, Caggie is joined by astrologer and author Clarisse Monahan for a fascinating conversation on astrocartography, planetary lines and the ways different places can activate different areas of our lives. Drawing on Clarisse’s work and her books Rise and Align and Astrocartography, An Astrologer's Guide To Where You'll Thrive, they explore how astrology can be used as a practical tool for creating more flow and alignment in everyday life, and how our birth charts can reveal the locations around the world that may support everything from love and career to home, family and personal growth.

This week on Saturn Returns, Caggie joined by Sophie Jones, author of The Rejection Cure, who began sharing her own rejection therapy journey across TikTok and Instagram. What started with feeling too self-conscious to film herself dancing in a park became 30 days of deliberately seeking out rejection, an experience that changed her relationship with fear, judgement and putting herself out there.   Topics covered in the episode: 🪐 Rejection therapy and what Sophie learned from actively seeking out ‘no’ 🪐 The fear of being judged, misunderstood or embarrassed 🪐 How procrastination and perfectionism can be fear in disguise 🪐 Taking rejection less personally and challenging the stories we attach to it 🪐 Dating, friendships and having the confidence to set boundaries 🪐 Putting yourself out there even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed At its heart, this episode is about taking rejection less personally, letting go of the fear of judgement and finding the courage to put yourself out there anyway.— A special thank you to Pandora for supporting this season.

In this episode, Caggie is joined by Poppy Jamie, author of The Book of Magical Living, for a conversation on intuition, synchronicity and finding meaning in the unknown. Drawing on her work in mental health and study of psychosynthesis, Poppy explores why we are more than our past experiences and what happens when we reconnect with the parts of ourselves that can’t always be rationally explained. Together, they discuss ego desire versus soul desire, our reliance on technology for answers, and the signs that can guide us back to our inner knowing.

In this episode, Caggie is joined by Peter Crone, known as The Mind Architect, to explore the subconscious beliefs and hidden limitations that shape how we think, relate and move through life.

Caggie is joined by Saturn Returns’ resident astrologer, Noura Bourni, to explore the major shift of 2026: Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries. They unpack what this new era asks of us - intentional action over reaction, discernment over illusion, and the courage to reclaim our own authority. From the fall of false idols and misinformation, to anger, leadership and creative sovereignty, this conversation offers context for why everything may feel like it’s accelerating. If you’ve felt disillusioned, fired up, or quietly ready for change, this episode helps you understand why.

Motherhood can be the most heart-opening experience of your life - and the most destabilising. In this episode, Caggie is joined by postpartum and motherhood psychotherapist Sophie Harris to explore the emotional reality of becoming a mother - beyond curated Instagram squares and gentle routines. Together, they speak about the parts rarely admitted out loud: 🧡 Identity loss that can feel like a quiet disappearance 🧡 Rage, overstimulation and intrusive thoughts 🧡 Partner resentment and the shock of how unequal early parenting can feel 🧡 Sleep deprivation that borders on psychological torture 🧡 The fantasy of escape - from Rightmove searches to longing to be “looked after” yourself Sophie draws on 18+ years in mental health and her own experience of early motherhood to normalise what so many women privately fear means they’re failing. They explore why the nuclear family model leaves modern mothers trying to do the work of a village alone - and how information overload, expert culture and comparison have pulled many women away from their instincts. This conversation is an invitation to soften the shame around how hard it can be. Because what if your hardest feelings are not evidence that you’re broken - but a sane response to an impossible level of responsibility? And what if “good enough” truly is enough? For anyone navigating postpartum, early motherhood, or the identity shift that comes with caring for another life, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone in the rupture, the rage, the tenderness, or the becoming.

In this solo episode of Saturn Returns, Caggie reflects on one of the most shape-shifting forces in our lives: love. Not the fantasy, but the lived, practised - and sometimes uncomfortable - truth of it. She weaves together her own relationship experiences with insights from some of the most influential voices in modern relationship thinking. Drawing on the work of Jillian Turecki, Caggie explores the idea of personal sovereignty in love - how our romantic lives often mirror our relationship with ourselves, and why consistency and character matter more than chemistry alone. She also reflects on the grounded wisdom of Matthew Hussey, whose work champions self-respect and emotional availability, alongside the deeply human teachings of Esther Perel, including the paradox at the heart of intimacy: our desire for closeness and our need for space. This conversation is an invitation to examine your own patterns. Do you confuse intensity with intimacy? Fantasy with safety? Are you choosing love from fear - or from truth?

In this solo episode, Caggie shares a life update that marks a profound turning point. From welcoming a baby, to moving countries, to navigating powerful inner awakenings and starting a company (head to the Saturn Returns App to see more), this has been a season of deep change, responsibility, and reorientation. 2025 was the year of the snake, of shedding old skin and old stories. Caggie reflects on how things fell into place for a move she initially didn't want and what to do when life flows in directions we never consciously planned. This is a conversation about trust, surrender, and learning to stand inside a new version of yourself - even when the path looks nothing like what you once imagined. If you’re in a moment where life feels unfamiliar, expansive, or slightly unrecognisable, this episode is a reminder that change doesn’t always need to be forced - sometimes it asks to be followed.
