Listen to episodes where Cait shares her perspectives on concussion recovery, nervous system regulation, identity, and what it actually looks like to rebuild a life that feels like yours.
Mental Skills to Return to Sport After Concussion
For athletes navigating the psychological side of concussion recovery, this episode addresses what most return-to-sport protocols leave out. Cait speaks to the fear, confidence loss, and identity shifts that arise after brain injury and why addressing the mental health piece of recovery is often the most important step that gets skipped.

Concussion, Identity, and Learning to Slow Down
Host Mercedes Nicoll is a four-time Winter Olympian who has navigated her own share of athlete injuries, which made this a particularly grounded conversation. Cait speaks openly about her own concussion history, the psychological weight of learning to slow down, and how an athlete's sense of identity can either get in the way of recovery or become part of what supports it.

Building A Business: From Self-Doubt to Success
This conversation sits a little outside the clinical space, and that is intentional. Cait speaks with host Kelsey Reidl about what it actually took to build mindwithmatter, including navigating self-doubt, operating from values alignment rather than pressure, and why her own experience with persistent concussion syndrome shaped the way she practices. For anyone curious about the person behind the work, this is a good place to start.

Pain Psychology: Emotional Awareness and the Path to Wholeness
Chronic pain and concussion recovery share a lot of the same territory, including the parts that are hardest to talk about. In this conversation, Cait and host Rich Adrian-Smith explore how pain perception is shaped by mental and emotional states, how athlete identity shifts during recovery, and why authentic emotional processing is not optional but foundational to healing.
