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.” The Changemaker for Changing the World-One Issue at a Time: Catherine Brienza Contact Information for Catherine Brienza Website: ridgewoodjolt.com Social Media: @ridgewood_jolt/joltusa.bsky.social _____________________________________________ Contact Information for Hosts, Jennifer Clearwaters and Cynthia O’Connell: Jen www.mindsetnj.com @mindset_connection_ @mindsetjen-Instagram @mindsetconnectionpod-TikTok @jenniferclearwaters-YouTube @mindsetconnectionpod-YouTube Cindy www.mindfulnessconnection.com @mindfulnssconnection-Instagram @mindsetconnctionpod-TikTok @mindsetconnectionpod-YouTube @theelevationprinciples-YouTube channel for the book, The Elevation Principles The Elevation Principles Book and Audiobook-Available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1665307099?ref=myi_title_dp PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW!
