Despite all the physical, Caitlin is still heavily involved in music and always has a music project she is working on, as she is a big believer in trying something new and living each day to the fullest.
“To me, coaching doesn’t feel like work. It feels like passion, it feels like connection, it feels like health, it feels like endorphins, it feels like purpose”.
