10 years ago, Irene Uy moved to the US on her own as an immigrant. She has a background in management engineering, earned her master's degree from Columbia University, and secured her permanent residence through work. She spent her career in real estate, and she's now a certified coach accredited with the ICF. She coaches through a cross-cultural perspective having been raised in a Chinese household in the Philippines. She's currently based in New York, and lives with her fiancé and her dog.

Cat is an INFJ and a fool for dancing. She has an art degree, a law degree, and her work days are spent between being an attorney, podcaster, and personal development coach. Her parents came to the States from the Philippines in the 1960s. Her dad's Chinese, her mom's Filipino, and they landed in Milwaukee where she was born. She now lives in Chicago with her two daughters, husband, an aging snowshoe Siamese cat, and about a dozen vintage motorcycles.
