Oct 24 Personal Experiences with OCD + Neurodiversity with Caitlin from Caitie Means Business

I’m so excited to bring you part two of my interview series with Caitlin of Caitie Means Business! If you haven’t listened to Part 1, definitely check it out at makinggoodpodcast.com/265.

Today’s episode is very, very close to my heart.

Caitlin and I talk about something personal that’s become a big part of both of our lives—OCD. While the topic might seem a little unrelated to business, our conversation will show how mental health can show up in all areas of life, including entrepreneurship. Caitlin shares her journey with OCD, how she’s managed it over the years, and how it’s shaped her approach to her work. Whether you have OCD, are neurodivergent, or just curious about how mental health impacts business, our hope is that this candid conversation will help listeners feel a little less alone.

I’m sure it goes without saying but neither Caitlin nor I are mental health professionals and this isn’t advice – we’re just sharing our own experiences.

We get more into Caitlin’s professional background and experience in Part 1, but in case you need a refresher: Caitlin is the website and client booking systems designer behind Caitie Means Business, where she works with service-based businesses to create inclusive and easy-to-use digital experiences.
