*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.

More from Saturn Returns with Caggie
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.
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.
Content creator, entrepreneur and author Milly Goldsmith joins Caggie on Saturn Returns to talk about what it’s been like to grow, recover and change in front of an online audience. From documenting her experience with an eating disorder to navigating singlehood and setting new boundaries, Milly has built a community around showing the parts of life that aren’t always polished or resolved.
In this episode, Caggie is joined by Almost 30 co-host Krista Williams for a conversation on transformation, self-acceptance and continuing to evolve through different chapters of life. Together, they reflect on giving up alcohol, rediscovering spirituality and the experiences that brought them closer to themselves. Krista opens up about body image, why real change begins with accepting where we are, and how following our joy can lead us towards greater purpose. They also explore relationships, femininity, subconscious patterns and nervous system regulation, offering an invitation to let go of who we think we should be and make space for who we’re becoming.
