Changing the narrative
for women living with
Parkinson’s Disease.

Hi, I am Caitlin Nagy

I am a mom, wife, creative director, entrepreneur, bestselling author and I have been living with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD) since 2014. I proudly identify as a PD Woman, someone living with Parkinson’s Disease.

My mission? To revolutionize the way PD Women are perceived and treated within the healthcare industry.

For those, like me, who find it hard to identify with the conventional 'Parkinson's' label, I felt compelled to introduce a name that truly honors our strength, resilience, and individuality. Because, let's be honest: even though we may be deficient in dopamine, we are undeniably PRETTY DOPE.

Enter Pretty Dope Women. More than just a name or life sentence, it's a reflection of who we are —powerful, resilient, and remarkable. 

Sharing My Story, on living with Parkinson’s

My goal with sharing my journey with YOPD in the media is to inspire and empower others who may have gone through similar experiences. By opening up about the challenges I have overcome, I hope to encourage individuals to find strength within themselves, believe in their abilities, and pursue their dreams unapologetically.

I aim to shed light on important issues, initiate conversations, and create a sense of unity among diverse communities. Ultimately, my purpose is to make a positive impact and spark a ripple effect of change and healing for those living with Parkinson’s Disease.
