Caitlin is a skilled interviewer with so much knowledge and passion to share. Admittedly, I'm a dance mom and not a dancer, but I love listening to the pods to gain insight into my dancer's passion and future career.
From the stage to streaming, Caitlin is phenomenal! I’m so happy to see such a valuable resource for dancers accessible in this format.
I just listened to The Brainy Ballerina’s solo podcast episode explaining her business model, step by step. This is an amazing episode and opens the doors in our minds of possibilities for ourselves.
Thank you for this!

I have a Brainy Ballerina on automatic download. As an active dance board member and parent of a trainee, Caitlin is a great listen. Experience, organization, health, somebody who’s only bias is pro-dancer — that’s a perspective that IF you can find it you latch onto it.
I love listening to the Brainy Ballerina podcast. Each episode has so many helpful tips and Caitlin is so warm and friendly. I would recommend to anyone who wants to uplevel their dance career!
