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.

Today we're going to be talking about my chapter in LA.

0:41.0

So I've shared with you guys most of the backstory but I feel like an important chapter in this whole

0:48.5

narrative that I cannot overlook is my time in LA. I sort of skirt over that moment in time these

0:56.2

days because I think when your career pivots in a different direction you tend to

1:00.5

sort of, well I do anyway kind of move away from the other things I might have been pursuing because I guess in a sense I feel like I failed at them so it sort of is something that I sort of condense into one sentence but now that I sort of condense into one sentence, but now that I'm reigniting this aspect of myself,

I felt like I should do at the service of sharing that experience and I talk about it in the Saturn
