Caitlin’s Nomad Story: Leading With Impact, Living With Intention

Posted by Palma Coliving team on 11/08/2025

Caitlin, founder of Ripple Impact Coaching, didn’t plan on becoming a digital nomad. But like many transformational journeys, it started with a quiet sense that something was off — and a bold decision to listen.

After years of juggling deadlines in London’s high-pressure corporate events world, burnout crept in. The kind that doesn’t shout — but whispers, relentlessly: Is this really it?

And when the pandemic hit, it forced a pause. Caitlin returned home to Newcastle and asked herself a deeper question: What if I could do something different?

That question changed everything.

Caitling in sunny Valencia!


Creating Ripple Impact — Coaching With Purpose

Today, Caitlin helps new managers and emerging leaders navigate their first steps into leadership without losing themselves in the process. Her business, Ripple Impact Coaching, supports people who are spinning too many plates, stuck in survival mode, and craving clarity.

But this isn’t your typical coaching.

“I support them with not only the neuroscience behind what our stress responses are, but also looking at their mindset shifts, behavior change, habit formation, to help them become the best leader that they can be, which all starts with self-leadership.”

Her clients come from energy companies, corporate teams, and growing startups. She runs 1:1 sessions, group coaching, and workshops for organizations — helping people show up with more confidence, more clarity, and a real sense of impact.

Ripple Impact also supports those questioning their careers entirely — professionals who feel unfulfilled and are seeking more purpose, alignment, and autonomy in their work.

“There were a lot of people when I was on my digital nomad stint who were travelling to fill a void of feeling stuck in their career. The career coaching I offer supports individiuals to craft a lifestyle and career that works for them.“


The Leap: Leaving Routine, Finding Rhythm

Starting a business is already brave. Doing it while traveling solo, in unfamiliar cities, without a structured routine? That takes a different kind of strength.

“I was scared. Would I be productive? Would I feel alone? Could I really grow my business without the safety net of a ‘normal’ environment?”

What she found instead was surprising: more energy. More perspective. More connection than she ever expected.

“I’ve met incredible people I never would’ve crossed paths with if I stayed in London. It’s not always easy — but it’s deeply rewarding.”


Landing in Valencia — and Finding Palma

Caitlin chose Palma Coliving Valencia for its balance — close to the beach, quiet and rustic, yet well-connected to the city. A soft place to land while still dreaming big.

“I loved how grounded the space felt. Five minutes to the beach by bike, yet peaceful. It wasn’t flashy — it was intentional. That mattered to me.”

She quickly found her rhythm — early mornings, coaching calls, writing sessions, and long evenings playing volleyball or cooking with new friends.

“That’s the beauty of coliving. You meet people who get it — who are figuring it out just like you. Even a few days together can feel like months.”


Advice for the Ones Standing on the Edge

If you’re dreaming of a remote life but fear keeps holding you back, Caitlin’s advice is simple — and powerful:

“Test it. You don’t have to quit everything at once. Try two weeks. See how it feels. You’ll be surprised by how easily you fall into a new rhythm — and how supported you feel.”

For her, the leap into nomad life wasn’t about burning all bridges — it was about opening a door.

Because the truth is, the hardest part isn’t buying a one-way ticket or selling everything you own. The hardest part is giving yourself permission to try.

Once you do, you might just find that the life you’ve been imagining is closer, and more possible, than you think.
