16. Holding Space for Caity Randall

<p>Our final guest for 2024, Caity Randall, is a voice that we must hear more of. There hasn't been a time that I've spoken with a guest on this podcast where I've had goosebumps from something powerful that they shared... but Caity brings many of these moments to the conversation.</p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>During this special episode, we discuss:<br />Caity's experience in running her own business to challenge traditional practices and drive social impact<br />The challenges of a late ADHD diagnosis and turning it into a strength<br />The importance of promoting awareness on topics like online safety and sextortion <br />(Caity has written an amazing book for young people on this topic- link in Caity's bio!)<br />Challenging stereotypes and advocating for diversity and visibility.</p>

<p><br /></p>

<p>I know I say this a lot- but this is a very special episode, and one I am incredibly proud of. We hope you enjoy and can take something away from listening to our chat.</p>
