Catherine Kelly
Parenting Coach
Catherine Kelly is a certified parenting coach, special education expert, and the voice behind the Breathe Easy Parenting podcast. With over 25 years of experience and the daily adventures of raising twins, she helps parents navigate the ups and downs of parenting with confidence, compassion, and connection.
Catherine’s journey began with an undergraduate degree in Biology (and a minor in Psychology), followed by an EdM in Diverse Learners. Along the way, she taught administrators, psychologists, and education-bound students as an adjunct professor, demystifying topics like Special Education Law and Behavior Science. But her real education came from her own life, overcoming childhood traumas and learning how to break cycles she didn’t want to pass on.
Today, Catherine works with parents to create joyful, resilient families by ditching punishment and yelling for strategies rooted in connection and understanding. She’s passionate about topics like multicultural parenting, parental mental health, and fostering healthy emotional expression in kids and parents alike.
Through her podcast and coaching programs, Catherine’s mission is simple: to help parents breathe easy in the messy, magical moments of raising kids, building emotional resilience and lifelong connections along the way.
