Episode 99: Reflection, Reclamation & The Threshold of the Year of the Snake

It’s the 99th episode of Return (!!!) and in perfect alignment, we’re closing out our nine year cycle just as we step into a new one. In this reflective, ritual-like conversation, Caitlan unpacks the numerology of a nine year — the year of completion, shedding, composting, and clearing — and reflects on what she’s learned, who she became, and what she’s consciously leaving behind.

Inside, she shares her own roses + thorns in business and motherhood, how IFS + Human Design supported her through a year of deep transition, and invitations for you to reflect on your own nine-year cycle with journal prompts, parts work, and Human Design exploration.

If you’re craving closure, clarity, or a gentle remembrance of who you became this year, let this episode guide you back to yourself.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• What a 9 year means in numerology + why 2025 felt so intense
• Reflection prompts to meet the version of you this year shaped
• How Caitlan used Human Design (4/6 profile) to build authentic connection
• The part she reclaimed through IFS — anger
• What she’s leaving behind, what she’s taking into the 1 year
• Roses + thorns from both business + motherhood
• Why Episode 99 marks a threshold into visibility, magnetism, and creative fire 🔥
