#178 - Caitlin Alexander, DPT, Pro Triathlete, and Musician
Description
Physical therapist, professional triathlete, and lifelong musician, Caitlin Alexander sits down with Seth to talk about who she really is—and why she’s built a life that isn’t defined by just one label. Caitlin opens up about ADHD, empathy as a superpower, and how a justice sensitivity pulls her to speak up. She traces an unlikely path from Virginia’s green hills and NYC’s music scene to Colorado, where she now runs a cash-based PT and bike-fit clinic, balances pro racing with entrepreneurship, and learns what sustainable performance actually looks like.
They dive into identity beyond sport, abusive coaching cultures vs. true longevity, why community matters when injury or burnout hits, and how music still unlocks emotion and recovery. Caitlin shares candidly about a rough race season, choosing joy over grind, leaning on her husband Brian, and getting excited to experience Kona—this time not racing.
