Return
You’re not broken. You’re just burnt out on trying to be someone you’re not.
Return is the podcast for conscious entrepreneurs, sensitive visionaries, and healers who’ve checked all the boxes—and are still wondering, “Why doesn’t this feel right?”
Hosted by Caitlan Siegenthaler—former therapist turned business energy strategist blending Human Design, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and soulful strategy—Return isn’t about forcing yourself into someone else’s blueprint. It’s about coming home to your own.
This isn’t hustle hype or spiritual bypassing disguised as business advice. It’s honest, nuanced, often irreverent conversations for the biz owner who’s outgrown performative success and wants to build something that actually feels good.
✨ Tune in for solo episodes and guest convos that help you:
- Navigate seasons of change (without losing yourself)
- Reclaim your energy and decision-making power
- Build a business that honors your gifts and nervous system
- Explore who you really are—beneath the shoulds
Whether you’re in the midst of a pivot, healing from burnout, or finally ready to trust your intuition again—Return is your reminder that you’re not lost. You’re just on your way home.
Let’s begin.

Nap Hard, Slay Easy: Why Balance is BS and How to Use Cycle Syncing & Nature to Work Smarter Not Harder
"Pushing is the lie and we need to distance ourselves from said lie. And then remembering nature and the cycles and how to tap back into that within ourselves because we have seriously lost the plot and I think it can be so helpful to get back to it."- CS
Episode 67: In this episode of The Return Podcast, Caitlan Siegenthaler challenges the idea that balance is the ultimate goal. Instead, she dives into why embracing your natural rhythms — both within yourself and in tune with nature — is the real key to a fulfilling, less stressful life. Caitlan introduces the concept of cycle syncing, showing how aligning your tasks with your energy levels can help you stay productive, creative, and burnout-free. If you're tired of feeling like you're failing at balance, this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:
💫 Balance is often an unrealistic target — especially for busy entrepreneurs.
💫Pushing through when you're drained leads to burnout.
💫 Nature’s cycles can guide your personal and professional flow.
💫 Cycle syncing helps you harness your natural energy for better productivity.
💫 Rest and reflection are essential — and not lazy.
💫 Learning your own energy patterns can improve your decision-making.
💫 Flow and alignment are far more powerful than forcing balance.
