This profile is over a year old1, but it’s still delightful.
At a team meeting that season, when hurt feelings over Caitlin's lack of trust had come to the surface, it was Martin who rose to speak.
"I got something," she said.
The team fell silent.
"Everybody thinks they want to be Caitlin," she said. "I don't know if you want to be Caitlin."
The women knew immediately what she meant.
I’m inspired by Caitlin’s ability to succeed so spectacularly in public without losing herself.

For the last few months, I’ve been reflexively avoiding the Instapaper app. This happens from time to time when I save a lofty, aspirational article which I’m afraid to take on. Now that I’m doing the work of weeding out my digital gardens, I’m much more comfortable with moving onto the next piece if the current one isn’t inspiring me. ↩
