Welcome to the Mindset Connection Podcast! After recording episode
26 back in October 2025, our guest, Dr. Patrick Roth, told us he had a
great recommendation for us to have on the show-his wife Cathy. 10
months later, we were finally able to record episode 47 with the
magnetic Catherine Brienza-and she did not disappoint! Cathy talked
to us about finding her way to law school, and realizing that her
passion was really about helping others. She bluntly told us that
many people she met in her law circles did not share that vision, so
she decided to do it on her own. After pausing her career to commit
time to her family, Cathy tutored children and worked with individuals
on the Autism Spectrum. She then founded JOLT-Join, Organize,
Lead, Teach-which focuses on national and global issues, such as
voting, immigration, climate change, women’s rights, and data
privacy. From hosting meetings in her own home to attending and
supporting walks, and marches, Cathy is using her knowledge of the
law to help educate people from all walks of life. With all the issues
the world is facing today, Cathy is someone who sees the good in
each day, and is willing to do the work. She stressed to our audience
that every voice counts and together, we can make change. Cathy’s
social media page proudly features a section titled, “Good News This
Week, “ and noted the joy that has been in the air this summer
between the Knicks winning the NBA Championship and the World
Cup Games. She quoted Jaylen Brunson saying, “ You’re allowed to
think about the worst possible scenario, but you gotta go out there
and do something about it.”
