Saturn Returns with Caggie

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? You may also enjoy revisiting our earlier mini-series Letters to Venus for further reflections on matters of the heart, including Caggie’s interview with Jillian Turecki here.

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.

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.
