About the Podcast

The Coach Is In
the podcast for parent-leaders who are carrying it all: careers, kids, family, and the invisible weight no one seems to see.
Meet your hosts, Cat and Irene.

Irene is a certified leadership coach on a mission to break intergenerational cycles and bridge generational gaps. The way we lead at home doesn’t just shape our families—it seeps into how we show up at work. Irene brings the perspective of a daughter to the parent-leader challenges we’re unpacking here.

Cat is a coach, lawyer and mom who works with high-achieving moms and service-oriented women like her—women who are burning bright but sometimes burning out. Together, we’re diving deep into the messy, beautiful balancing act of leading your family, leaning into your work and living your life without losing yourself in the process.

So, if you’ve ever wondered, “How can I show up for my family AND take care of myself?” or “When is it time to let go of old patterns that don’t serve me?”—we’ve got you. Because the coach is in—and this space is for you.
