In this episode, Caggie sits down with Dr. Annie Zimmerman, a London-based psychotherapist known for her compassionate, psychodynamic approach to therapy. 

With a PhD in psychology, Dr. Annie Zimmerman is dedicated to helping clients understand how early life experiences shape their current behaviours and relationships.

Her insights on these patterns, especially around attachment and trauma, have resonated widely, partly due to her social media presence as @your_pocket_therapist—where she shares accessible, psychology-based tools.

Together, Caggie and Dr. Annie discuss:

🪐 Dr. Annie’s struggles with binge eating at university, and how this led her to pursue a career in therapy

🪐 Navigating difficulty in relationships, power struggles and attachment patterns

🪐 The rise of "Instagram Therapy" and how it can be both helpful in providing education, but also problematic when people start diagnosing their partners based on pop psychology terms they've learned online

In this thought-provoking episode, Caggie is joined by Paul Scanlon, a renowned public speaker, author, and personal development coach, known for his transformative leadership, communication, and self-awareness work. Paul shares his journey of awakening and explains how it has shaped his mission to help others reconnect with their authentic selves.

Paul, who spent over 30 years as the senior pastor of Life Church in Bradford, has shifted his focus to helping people "wake up" to their potential. Drawing from his life experiences, he discusses the importance of creating safe spaces for people to embrace their true selves and challenge societal norms. From navigating the education system to breaking free from the "rat race," Paul shares powerful insights on leadership, personal transformation, and being true to yourself.

Key Highlights:

Waking Up to Authenticity: Paul explains the concept of 'waking up' and how childhood experiences often stifle authenticity. He emphasises the importance of feeling seen and safe to help individuals consciously awaken to their true selves.

Embracing Your Weirdness: Paul talks about how our uniqueness, or “weirdness,” is a superpower that the ego often suppresses in favour of societal expectations.

Breaking Free from Social Norms: Paul offers practical advice for those who felt out of place in their youth but didn’t understand why. He discusses how small steps can lead to breaking free from societal moulds and reconnecting with authenticity.

The Tyranny of the Education System: Paul critiques the one-size-fits-all model of Western education, highlighting teacher burnout and the system’s archaic structure. He believes bold, new ideas are needed to educate and inspire future generations.

Listening to Your Intuition: Paul shares how we can start paying attention to our intuition or “niggles” and why journaling is a powerful tool to capture these insights, helping us recognize patterns in our thoughts and feelings.

Leadership and Influence: In Paul’s view, leadership is about influence, not authority. He challenges the traditional command-and-obey structure and encourages everyone to see themselves as potential leaders, shaping the world through influence rather than hierarchy.

In this episode of The Courage to Create, Caggie reflects on the unexpected twists and turns that shaped her creative journey, reminding us that it's never too late to pursue our passions, no matter where life takes us.

Caggie shares her time in LA, where she spent two years immersed in the music industry before the idea for Saturn Returns was even born. She opens up about the challenges she faced in discovering her voice as an artist and how the destabilizing years between 27 and 30 ultimately led her down a different path. This unanchored period became the foundation for Saturn Returns, inspiring her to explore deeper themes of spirituality, identity, and transformation.

As she approached 30, Caggie experienced a personal crisis, feeling the pressure of time running out to “make it.” A failed relationship and the close of her Saturn Return prompted deeper introspection, leading her to a healer who shifted her perspective. This liberation sparked a new wave of creativity, allowing her to launch Saturn Returns and reignite her passion for music.

During the pandemic, Caggie collaborated with producer Luca, who helped push her creative boundaries and refine her songwriting. Their time together in Mexico rekindled her connection to music and storytelling, setting her back on the path of releasing her own work.

Join Caggie as she delves into the courage it takes to embrace your artistry, overcome self-doubt, and find your unique path—no matter how many detours life throws at you. This episode is an inspiring reminder for anyone who feels it's too late to put their work into the world or is scared to take that leap.
