Dr Shefali is a clinical psychologist. She has written five books with the aim of helping us to live more consciously in order to live our best life. She focuses on parenting and how, as adults, we are ravaged by the consciousness of the parenting we received in our childhood. Dr Shefali helps people to return to their authentic selves.   On parenting: Dr Shefali explains why we are captive to our parents' unconsciousness. She also dispels myths of parenting and gives a very honest take on the reality and guilt surrounding parenthood. On childhood: We journey through Dr Shefali's own upbringing and how she felt constricted by Indian culture. She tells us why she believes it's important to honour ourselves through our parents. Her Saturn Journey: Dr Shefali speaks candidly about her divorce which she describes as ‘divorcing herself from the unauthentic role she was playing.' We touch on how we can turn our pain into power and why acting with abundance and empowerment can lead us to better alignment. Showing up as Women: Dr Shefali gives us her take on modern day feminism and where she thinks we should shift our focus. We reflect on how women have contoured themselves and how this has led to further confusion and misalignment. We dissect how this nuanced micromanagement of women has come at the sacrifice of our true authentic selves. Honouring the oppressed: We explore the victimisation by patriarchy and why Dr Shefali believes we should also have compassion for men as well as ourselves. We also discuss how internalising the oppression has enabled us to become our own oppressor and how women have themselves become part of the patriarchy. --- Subscribe to "Saturn Returns" for future episodes, where we explore the transformative impact of Saturn's return with inspiring guests and thought-provoking discussions.

Today I am delighted to be joined by Steph Claire Smith. Steph is an Australian model, entrepreneur and was one of the original Aussie influencers who I have followed from the very beginning. She has gained popularity through her lifestyle, fitness and wellness content. Steph's influence extends far beyond the world of modelling, as she uses her platform to discuss issues surrounding mental health, self-care, and how to make healthy lifestyle choices. Steph first met her best friend, Laura Henshaw, when she was just nineteen before moving to New York where she began modelling and documenting her life on social media. It was when Steph came back to her hometown of Melbourne that she reconnected with Laura and their journey into entrepreneurship truly began. Steph reflects on that period of navigating her way through her young adult life, away from her family and friends. She shares the obstacles she encountered during her modelling career and the impact this had on her own self esteem. Steph was simultaneously building an online career and modelling portfolio which placed her under the spotlight of intense scrutiny, judgement and pressures from external influences. We discuss how Steph managed to overcome that self-doubt and stop herself from falling into ‘the comparison trap'. We also discuss the ‘Creator Economy' and how she was able to organically build her brand alongside her best friend and business partner to continue to feed their new and existing online community. We journey through the lessons she learnt building her first business and how she's managed to make a success out of her relationship with Laura and her love of health and fitness. Whilst our Saturn Return can be an explosive and uncomfortable period, Saturn can also help us to solidify the things that have been in motion in our lives for a while. At 29, Steph is now a Mother to a highly successful business and to Harvey, her first Son, who she shares with her husband. We discuss the gender roles in their household and how they came to the decision that her husband would be a stay-at-home father.  Redeem a one-month free subscription to Kic, live until the end of the year!

This week I'm delighted to be joined by Alex Light, a body confidence advocate, journalist, chart-topping podcast host and founder of Light LDN. Alex started her career in magazine journalism where she wrote about celebrities, fashion and beauty. Her Instagram was a space for her to share her love for these topics but whilst it appeared she was #livingherbestlife, Alex was actually battling an eating disorder. Now, she has successfully created a platform that encourages body positivity and champions women's unfiltered bodies. At 26, Alex began using her social platform to document her recovery and was astounded at the amount of people who resonated with her story. We discuss the relationship Alex has with her body and the steps she took to mend and cultivate what was one of the biggest tormentors in her life. Alex is on a mission to expose unrealistic beauty standards and diet culture to help others combat their own feelings of shame and self-loathing.  Alex deconstructs some of the messaging that has permeated into our collective psyche from being a young woman and how diet culture is a tool of the patriarchy. She shares the importance of recognising and detangling those beliefs whilst also encouraging us to commit to refraining from commenting on people's looks, regardless of the intention.  Saturn can bring change and awakening in mind, body and soul. Alex discusses how this contentment came with age, coinciding with her Saturn Return. Alex also shares how she transformed her internal critic into self-compassion in order to reach that space of contentment within herself. She takes us on her own path of healing whilst delving deep into the emotions that have come up for her during this time of self-reflection.  --- Subscribe to "Saturn Returns" for future episodes, where we explore the transformative impact of Saturn's return with inspiring guests and thought-provoking discussions.

The lessons we learn during our Saturn Return can be extremely challenging, deeply personal and hard hitting. But ultimately, they're there to teach us how to live our most authentic and fulfilled lives. In today's episode, I delve into the inspiring journey of Poppy Jamie, a recognized Forbes' 30 under 30 luminary, UN Global Goals advocate, British wellness entrepreneur, TV host, and best-selling author on a mission to empower mental wellbeing. At 25, Poppy was running three businesses, splitting her time between New York and LA, as well as keeping up with friends, family and socialising. But by 29 she was hospitalised with chronic fatigue and was forced to slam on the brakes. Poppy takes us through her quest to decondition her attitudes towards her own working habits. From addressing the guilt she faced if she felt she hadn't done enough, our need for perfectionism, to observing the ways in which stress and exhaustion was manifesting in her own body. Deconditioning created space for flexible thinking and new and healthier ways of living her life. She talks about how movement such as walking and dancing has been essential for good mental health and how she now prioritises rest above all else. A concept which may seem quite alien to most of us but something I think we can all relate to needing more of. She discusses the global impact of her mental wellbeing app, Happy Not Perfect, and her latest role as co-founder of a stealth start-up. Poppy also opens up about the power of female friendships, her personal and professional growth, the challenges of life in Los Angeles, and her battle with orthorexia. Sharing Saturnian lessons learned while launching three businesses, she touches on the cultural attitudes towards therapy in the UK and US, the struggle for identity in entrepreneurship, and the vital shift from overworking to the art of unwinding. Lastly, Poppy reflects on the importance of spiritual practice and embracing vulnerability with a good dose of humour.

Saturn returns is all about embracing and finding our true path, even if it means veering off the well-trodden one. It's about resilience, adaptability, and finding a sustainable way of living that truly resonates with us. So I'm thrilled to be joined by Sarah Wilson In today's episode of Saturn Returns. A former journalist, Cosmopolitan Australia's editor, and MasterChef Australia host who has truly lived a life less ordinary.  At 34, facing a life-threatening autoimmune disease, Sarah chose to quit sugar, a decision that not only managed her symptoms but also led to the creation of the global “I Quit Sugar” movement. She documented her journey and insights, encouraging others to embrace a healthier, sugar-free lifestyle.  This period of transformation led to Sarah embracing a more unconventional life, choosing a much more minimalist simple life, focused on travel, nature and discovery. Sarah officially jumped off the hedonic treadmill, moving away from her successful media empire to live in a forest army shed. Her experiences, including her battles with bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, are candidly shared in her book "First We Make the Beast Beautiful." Here, she reimagines anxiety, turning it into a source of strength and advocating for living authentically amidst life's chaos. We discuss Sarah's latest book, "This One Wild and Precious Life," which addresses the collective feelings of anxiety and disconnection prevalent in today's world, fostering a sense of community and connection. She explores the modern challenges facing humanity, including climate change, political unrest, and the pervasive feelings of emptiness despite material abundance and how a shift to live more sustainably is not only essential, but will also lead to more happiness and fulfilment.  Join us in this episode as we explore Sarah's journey and uncover the transformative power of living a wild and precious life.

In today's episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Ruby Warrington, a best-selling author whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. Ruby's books, 'Sober Curious' and her latest release 'Women Without Kids,' delve deep into the profound decisions that we often grapple with in our lives, particularly when it comes to the intricate path of motherhood. In this heartfelt conversation, Ruby generously shares her personal odyssey, taking us on a transformative journey that encompasses two of her most significant life questions. We explore her decision to embrace sobriety and her journey into mysticism, a path that led her to critically examine the role of children in her own life. Ruby opens up about those pivotal moments when she came to the realisation that her relationship with alcohol no longer served her spiritual growth. She candidly describes the shift from seeking solace in it to acknowledging that it conflicted with her true self, which is something I deeply relate to. Our discussion delves deep into Ruby's journey of self-discovery, where she courageously confronts her decision to remain child-free. She reflects on her upbringing and the complex dynamics within her family environment, shedding light on how they influenced her perspective. As we journey through her twenties, Ruby shares her thought-provoking experiences, marked by internalising societal pressures to become a mother. We ponder the rise of feminism in a predominantly masculine world and the influence it may have had on our own perceptions of motherhood and femininity. Questions arise: Can we maintain autonomy and pursue a career while being devoted mothers? Are we enough if we choose not to have children? Should we attempt to make ourselves want children to fit societal norms? Ruby takes us through her emotional yet liberating quest to answer these profound questions, ultimately leading her to write 'Women Without Kids.' This remarkable book provides much-needed balance and insight into the multifaceted aspects of this pivotal life choice. Throughout our conversation, Ruby offers sage advice to those wrestling with the complex and deeply personal decision of motherhood. She emphasises the importance of embracing a more balanced perspective and underscores that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. This episode is a testament to Ruby's journey and her unwavering commitment to empowering women to make choices that authentically align with their true selves.

Caggie continues her fascinating conversation with Dr Zach Bush, a physician specialising in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. Dr Zach also founded *Seraphic Group and the nonprofit Farmer's footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health. His main mission is to educate and reconnect humanity with nature. In this episode, they peel back the layers of human fears and discuss our strained relationship with the natural world. Caggie and Zach delve deep into the heart of these pressing issues and explore the notion that it all stems from one shared human fear – the fear of not being enough.  Dr Bush further unpacks the current state of our relationship with nature and highlights how Earth itself is struggling to breathe under the weight of human impact. He explains why regenerative agriculture is a path towards healing, not only for our planet but also for our understanding of our place within it.  You can find Zach on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, or on his website and Farmer's Footprint.

Today's conversation is a thought-provoking one as we dive deep into the intersection of spirituality and science with renowned guest, Dr Zach Bush. Zach spent many years as a conventional doctor, specialising in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. Disillusioned with the state of Western medicine, he began taking an integrative approach, studying the body's microbiomes in relation to health, disease and food systems.  In this episode, Zach takes us on a journey that challenges conventional notions as he invites us to contemplate the strong connection between birth and death. He also delves into the concept of our infinite nature and challenges our limited perceptions of time and existence. Drawing from personal experiences, Dr. Bush shares his encounters with past relatives that highlight the infinite aspects of our being. He goes on to explain that acknowledging this infinite essence is how we can all become inspired to live with purpose and fully embrace the present moment.  You can find Zach on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, or on his website and Farmer's Footprint.

If you resonate with the struggles of procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome or burnout then this conversation will be extremely beneficial. Caggie is joined by Aime McNee, a creative coach and fiction author. In this episode they explore the beauty and vulnerability of ‘the creative'; the loneliness of committing to creativity, the shame and comparison creatives often face when straying away from the conventional 9-5 career and the liberation of choosing ourselves and our own path. Aime and Caggie discuss the many ways we often grapple with the dialogue of our inner critic and unpack the topic of ego, how individuals will often unknowingly cultivate a fear of success which is just as persuasive as our fear of failure.  Even if you are not creative in your career, many of us have that inner critic which makes us doubt ourselves and stops us from going after our aspirations and goals. Aime shares her own experience with this and the tools she utilises to unlock the power to silence that voice in our head that says we are not worthy.

Louise O'Neill, renowned author and journalist, joins Caggie on this episode to discuss the journey of her Saturn Return. At 27 she was back living with her parents after returning from her job in fashion journalism in New York, her relationship ended, a dwindling bank account and suffering a severe relapse of her eating disorder. It was a “rock bottom” experience in many ways but her career soon took off after writing her first book. Our Saturn Return can be a turbulent and transformative time and Louise speaks openly about how there were times she felt hopeless and lost, even when she was at one of her highest points of success professionally. Yet she holds the belief that often everything falls apart and comes together at the same time.  Louise reflects candidly on her twenty-year battle with an eating disorder which affected every aspect of her life. She shares her recent experience with her Saturn Maturation, a profound time of self-reflection, introspection and re-evaluation. Louise and Caggie discuss toxic relationship patterns, inner critics, energetic shielding, and deepening our intuition. The overwhelming theme of this conversation is that happiness is an inside job.  This episode contains discussions around eating disorders and addiction and therefore might not be suitable for every listener. -- The Foundations: Saturn's Life Lessons.

For many of us, ignoring burnout in pursuit of career success is an unhealthy habit that seems to be celebrated in many ways, coined as ‘the hustle culture' phenomenon. During our Saturn Return one of the most important challenges is often the self-reflection of looking inwards at our relationship with self and addressing the patterns or habits which no longer serve us. Caggie and Sophie discuss the importance of self-worth, challenging limiting beliefs and understanding the profound influence of our inner critic. They also expand on navigating the intricacies of masculine and feminine energies; unveiling the societal pressure to conform to ‘traditional' roles without questioning the why behind a desire for partnership or motherhood. Sophie shares some final insight into the power of affirmations, shifting our mindsets and showing up for yourself. Thanks to our sponsors Fruitz, you can download the dating app here.

Today's conversation is a deeply insightful one as Caggie is joined by Pat Divilly; renowned wellness expert, author and podcast host. Pat opens up about his early life, candidly sharing his struggles with bullying, the overwhelming pressure to succeed, and perceived failures in his early twenties that left him feeling hopeless and lost. As we all move through our twenties we are often met with feelings of failure or desire to keep up with our peers, which can be incredibly isolating. Pat reflects on his own experience with this and how his life drastically changed after small positive moments began to create a new story for him as his career shifted into an outwardly very successful one. Caggie and Pat also delve into nervous system work, internal family systems and male archetypes. Pat shares his insight into how our past wounds affect our everyday lives and when we embrace who we are, recognise our previous patterns and create our own authentic space, we can unlock our full potential.

In this week's episode of Saturn Returns Caggie is joined by renowned podcast host and author of the book “Alonement: How to be Alone and Absolutely Own in”, Francesca Specter. After her breakup several years ago, Francesca coined the term ‘Alonement' and lives in alignment with finding joy in solitude. Francesca shares insight into the value of self love, making decisions for yourself and thriving in your own company. It is no secret that people often desire love and the comforts partnership can bring us and whilst these are things to be celebrated, there is also great value in creating the space to rediscover parts of ourselves that we may have abandoned in order to mould ourselves in relationships. They also discuss the loneliness that can stem from the pressure to conform to the life choices that our friends and family have made, for instance marriage and children. This sparked the discussion on the value of diversifying our circle and questioning if we are living in true alignment with our own desires. Caggie and Francesca also delve into the societal stereotypes that contrast the celebrated image of a “bachelor” with the pitiful perception of a “spinster”, and how these stereotypes can be negated by the transformative power of finding joy in solitude.    You can find Francesca Specter at @chezspecter on Instagram and Twitter.

Today's conversation is an incredibly insightful and uplifting one as Caggie delves into the realm of spirituality and mysticism with Fiongal Greenlaw. Fiongal, an expert on the language of the soul, is a sought-after psychic, tarot reader and the founder of ‘The Wellness Foundry'. Fiongal began his career in fashion and, after experiencing a health crisis which left him grappling with a sense of misalignment in his life that he was unable to contextualise, came to the realisation the discomfort he was feeling was the manifestation of a spiritual awakening. It became clear that the universe was nudging him to embrace this transformative journey of grounding himself and coming home to his spiritual gifts. This Episode covers auras, discovering your life's purpose and tapping into your unique gifts, how to prevent empath burnout and cord cutting and protection.  No matter your understanding of the practice of spirituality, Fiongal provides gems of wisdom we can all benefit from through discussing the profound insights he has gained through his career, the significance of setting boundaries and the practice of self-love. This conversation is a powerful one, with magic moments of laughter and light-heartedness and is an overall encouragement to become more aware of your energy, emotions and intuition.

Today Caggie is joined by her childhood friend and former castmate of Made in Chelsea, Millie Mackintosh. In this conversation Millie opens up about her experience of bullying at school, a very formative time in our lives, and the toll this took on her mental health and the aftermath this had in later years. They discuss Millie's transition from more turbulent times in her twenties into motherhood and the gratitude and fulfilment she feels from this aspect of herself. Often our twenties can be a vulnerable and challenging time and, as we go through our Saturn Return, we are forced to re-evaluate and make necessary changes. In this conversation, Millie discusses the importance she now places on showing up for tomorrow's you and her journey with looking deeper into alcohol and the effects it had on her anxiety. Both Millie and Caggie discuss their sober curious journeys and their reasons for choosing to redefine their relationship with alcohol after questioning the cost conforming to this social norm was having on their mental wellbeing.

In this week's episode of Saturn Returns join Caggie in conversation with Katherine Morgan Schafler, a licensed psychotherapist, writer, and speaker based in New York City, who is also the author of the book 'The Perfectionists Guide to Losing Control.' In this insightful discussion, Caggie and Katherine explore the complex nature of perfectionism, a common challenge that many encounter during their Saturn Return as perfectionism is an aspect of the shadow side of Saturn. They discuss the unattainable standards and nagging desire for perfection that can often arise during this transformative time of life but how this ultimately causes us to stall, sabotage and leave things unfinished. Drawing from her clinical expertise, Katherine dispels myths about perfectionism and breaks down the five main types she has identified. She also shares her insights on the links between addiction and perfectionism, based on her experiences as a psychotherapist. Throughout the episode, Caggie and Katherine emphasise the importance of self-worth and returning to one's core values as key elements in finding contentment and a sense of completeness. Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation as they unpack the nuances of perfectionism and offer practical strategies for navigating this common challenge during the Saturn Return phase and beyond.

This special mini series brings her favourite moments from the last three years back to the forefront: "And as we continue our trip down memory lane, I wanted to bring you an episode that is very close to my heart.

In the lead up to the release of Caggie's first book Saturn Returns. This special mini series brings her favourite moments from the last three years back to the forefront: "As the New Year is upon us, I wanted us to take a trip down memory lane. Saturn Returns is coming up to its third birthday and it is going to be a very big year for the brand. To celebrate I have pulled some of my all-time favourite episodes over the last three years, starting off with an episode from season one, where I was joined by my friend Shona Vertue. This episode came out during the pandemic and was an instant hit. We unpacked sex in a way that seem to really resonate with you, our audience and as the live show coming up with a focus on dating and relationships I thought this episode was particularly appropriate." How do we establish and maintain our boundaries within a relationship? Why do we often attract the “wrong” people? And can we de-condition ourselves from everything Disney has taught us? Here's why celibacy might be the answer... Shona Vertue and Caggie explore sex and relationships, and discuss where the line between independence and co-dependence lies.  Pre-order the Saturn Returns book and buy tickets to the Saturn Returns Live Shows.
