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.

*TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT*

In this candid episode of Saturn Returns, Caggie reconnects with one of her oldest friends and author of ⁠Bad Drunk, Millie Mackintosh, for an honest conversation about sobriety, identity, and reclaiming self-worth.

Together, Caggie and Millie reflect on their shared past, from the early days of Made in Chelsea to their twenties, and how those formative years set the stage for both personal unravelling and profound transformation.

Before reality TV and public life, Caggie and Millie were best friends navigating early adulthood side by side, from nights out to gap year adventures. Their long-standing bond brings a unique depth to this episode, as they revisit the versions of themselves they’ve since outgrown and reflect on the power of rewriting your story.

Millie shares the intimate journey behind her book Bad Drunk: a brave, unfiltered exploration of her relationship with alcohol, the shame that often lies beneath the surface, and the healing that comes with speaking your truth. What unfolds is a conversation rooted in compassion, connection, and the courage it takes to reclaim your sense of self.

Topics Covered:

🪐 Millie’s path to sobriety and writing Bad Drunk

🪐 Alcohol as a coping mechanism for trauma and anxiety

🪐 Reframing shame and embracing vulnerability

🪐 Panic attacks, medication, and mental health in early recovery

🪐 Navigating friendship, fame, and public scrutiny

🪐 The quiet freedom that comes from choosing yourself

Whether you're sober-curious or simply seeking deeper self-connection, this episode offers wisdom, warmth, and the reminder that healing is always possible.

In this powerful episode of Saturn Returns, Caggie is joined by Africa Brooke - speaker, writer, and cultural commentator - for a conversation that challenges conformity, celebrates courage, and explores the path back to creative authenticity.

Africa reflects on the pivotal events of 2020, a time marked by division, identity politics, and performative discourse, and the personal reckoning that led her to publish her viral open letter, “Why I’m Leaving the Cult of Wokeness.” She shares the emotional and psychological toll of self-censorship, the complexities of public-facing activism, and how reclaiming her voice became an act of profound integrity.

Together, Caggie and Africa revisit their first podcast conversation and reflect on how their perspectives have evolved. They dive into the cultural impact of social media and AI, the fear of vulnerability in creative expression, and the importance of returning to sincerity, both online and within ourselves.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling trapped by the pressure to conform, afraid to speak freely, or longing to reconnect with their creative truth.
