This is part 2 of Caity's story. Caity shares her personal story of using running to support her mental health and how that led her into group run coaching. She talks about being diagnosed with ADHD in her 30s and the years she used alcohol as a coping mechanism throughout most of her adult life. Now almost 1000 days sober, Caity reflects on sobriety and healthier ways to cope. Make sure to listen to part 1 in S4E13 for some ADHD tips and tricks shared by our neurospicy community.
