Hello everyone and welcome to Saturn Returns with me Kaggi Dunlop. This is a

podcast that aims to bring clarity during transitional times where there can be

confusion and doubt.

Today I am joined by a friend of mine and that is Sophie Dear, a wellness mentor,

podcast host and yoga instructor who embarked on a transformative journey from a career in the TV

industry to living full-time in Bali. This conversation is very much about the big

career shifts we have and what happens when we avoid our bodies, nudges and wisdom

and Sophie very candidly talks about her struggles with insomnia and anxiety and opens up about her

experience of burnout during her career when she was in the TV industry

where she had been thriving for years and many of us often ignore these signs from our

body in pursuit of career success and that's often an unhealthy habit that seems to be celebrated in many ways.

It's the sort of hustle culture.

But during our Saturn return, it's often one of those moments where we are forced to reflect and look inwards at our relationship with

ourselves and address the patterns or habits which are no longer serving us, the

things that are driving us and the pursuit we are trying to achieve.

And we are forced to kind of reconcile with the why that's underneath.

Sophie discusses the process of unraveling the anxiety and the

insomnia and how she also was going through a divorce at the time. She discusses the importance of self-worth, how we can challenge

limiting beliefs and understand the profound influence of our inner critic and how to better manage it. We also expand on

navigating the intricacies of the masculine and feminine energies,

unveiling the societal pressure to conform to traditional roles without questioning the why behind a desire for a partnership or motherhood.

Sophie shares some of the powerful insights of affirmations, shifting our mindset and showing up for yourself.
