Sober Living with Millie Mackintosh

*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.
