The Balance of Family, Business & Finding Your Voice
COO of CDA Painting Group Podcast with NOLAN GROUP
When Molly Nolan attended an iHeartMedia event in Philadelphia about podcast audience segmentation, one psychographic profile stood out: “The Conqueror” – the working mom striving to be her best self across career, family, and wellness. Immediately, Desiree Cleave came to mind.
Desiree CleaveAs the Chief Operations Officer of Coeur d’Alene Painting Group and co-owner of The Stain Shop, Des manages not one but two businesses alongside her husband Brad and father-in-law. She’s also a mother navigating the daily juggle of school runs, family dinners, and personal wellness, all while maintaining the calm, organized presence that makes others wonder: How does she do it all?
In this episode of Out of the Hourglass, Des opens up about leadership, motherhood, and what it takes to keep moving forward when life doesn’t go as planned.
CDA Painting Group is a second generation, family owned business with deep roots in Coeur d'Alene!
