Cat & Nat Unfiltered

As we get prepared to ring in the New Year we are bringing you another throwback episode. It’s no secret—we're not fans of homework. Some of our kids somehow turned out to be these super independent, on-top-of-it thinkers (seriously, how did that happen?), but others? Not so much. And for those kids, what are we even supposed to do? Are we meant to sit beside them while they work? Nag them to fini...

When our kid has a misstep, rebellion, or mistake, it can feel like we as parents have failed them. Similar to muscle growth, our kids need to tear and repair along their life journey to become more emotionally strong and resilient. in this repeat episode with Michelle Icard, author of 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success: What to Do and What to Say to Turn “Failures’ into Character-Building...

Nat managed to sneak in a little sexy time at the in-laws which is next-level impressive! Qualifier, this is a repeat episode so it remains to be seen if Nat got some sexy time in on holiday with her family in Costa Rica. The stakes are high, which makes it even more of an accomplishment. This got us thinking: there really should be a point system for sex in unconventional places. How many points...

If you missed it the first time around we are bringing back this amazing conversation with Sarah Nurse, a professional Hockey player for the Canadian Women's National Team and the newly formed PWHL Toronto Franchise. She is a two-time Olympian, and two two-time IIHF World Champion, holds the Olympic record for most points and most assists in a single women's tournament and is leading the conversat...

We are in the throws of the holiday season and bringing you a repeat episode of one of. your faves. As busy moms our time is valuable so when we carve out a few minutes to be entertained, educated, or inspired we want it to be worth it! If you've been wondering, “What podcast should I dive into? What show is binge-worthy? Or what book is actually going to keep me awake after the kids go down?” — w...

Many parents find themselves in a pattern; they calmly ask their kids to do something and nothing happens. Then they repeat the ask, repeat it again, with one more reminder and then…the parent blows up. When kids don't listen, parents often feel the need to take back control and you can almost guarantee that you'll enter into a power struggle where no one comes out as the winner. In this repeat ep...

Cat’s already planning her 69th birthday party—because, 69! Naturally there’s going to be doggy-style cupcakes and probably a few other surprises. We couldn’t end the podcast without talking about Nat’s “Puss Power.” What is that, you ask? Listen to find out! We’re wrapping up the year by celebrating with our families and bringing you some of our favorite reruns over the holidays. But don’t worry,...

Cat literally lives in athleisure so it made perfect sense to chat with Denise Lee, entrepreneur and founder of Alala, a self-funded multi-million dollar apparel brand that not only brings joy to women through sophisticated, high quality clothing, but also seeks to advance dialogue around body positivity and diversity. Denise left her family and moved halfway around the world, from Singapore to Ne...

Christmas is just a week away, and things are getting wild. Moms, we see you juggling a million things to make the magic happen.  Listen to Cat's analogy about paper plates vs. platters because it's a bit mind blowing. We’re taking a little break to soak up the holidays with our families, so enjoy some of our favourite reruns until we’re back with a brand-new season. See you soon, and ha...

The holiday season is here, and with it comes those never-ending wish lists from our kids, even though half of it will be forgotten by February. If we quizzed them on what they got last year, they’d probably fail. And that’s our parenting conundrum this week: how do you manage the chaos of over-the-top holiday requests? We’re also tackling the bigger parenting struggle—the push and pull of wanting...

‘Tis the season for traveling and getting creative with keeping the spark alive—even when you’re sharing a house with thin walls. We’re bringing you the ultimate hacks for having sex at your in-laws’ this holiday season! And let’s talk about the future—when it’s our kids doing the same in our house. Will we play it cool, or will we leave hints? We need to know—are you one of those people who need...

We had so much fun talking with Kim and Penn that we had to bring it to you in two parts! In this repeat episode we chatted about living with ADHD as an adult, what content creation might look like in the future and more! If you don't know The Holderness Family, their videos have resulted in over a billion views and over 7.5 million followers across their social media platforms...

We’re talking about holding space for the “ugly” days—the ones where life just feels messy and whether we do the exact same thing as the day before, it's just one of those days. And if we need space for having an ugly day, so do our kids. Let's normalize the fact that you don't have to love everything, every single day. We need to stop fighting this feeling, there is always tomorrow or this aftern...

We are bringing you another parenting conundrum; you decide to spend your life with someone, but how much do you actually talk about the important stuff first? Parenting styles? Conflict management? The tricky stuff like how you’ll handle your child’s sexual orientation or dating rules for your teens? Most couples don’t even scratch the surface before walking down the aisle. We definitely did not!...

This week we’re talking about everything from the bedroom to the big screen. First up, Viagra—why do men have an instant fix with that little blue pill, but women are still waiting for something to help with their libido? We're also breaking down the empty nester myth: do couples really heat things up once the kids are gone, or is it just wishful thinking? And finally, holiday movies— is it just u...

It seems appropriate to bring back one of our favourite conversations as we near the holidays —our episode with The Holderness Family! If you haven’t watched their iconic  Christmas Jammies  video from 2013, pause right now and go find it. Kim and Penn Holderness are online creators, making hilarious videos with original music, song parodies, and comedy sketches that have racked up over...

This week, we’re doing a deep-dive into Nat’s true crime obsession because apparently murder mysteries are her happy place. We went down a rabbit hole with Wade Wilson—how are people finding him sexy? Is it the bad-boy charm, or are we all just a little unhinged? One of us is struggling to understand the appeal. It's all a little twisted yet it somehow brings a smile to Nat's face. Want our podcas...

We are gearing up to launch an incredible workshop designed just for parents tackling the ever-changing world of teens and their cell phone habits. Get ready for real talk, and practical tools to help you navigate this digital age with confidence! In the meantime, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit our chat with Dr. Alison Yeung for anyone who might have missed it the first time around!...

While many of you are diving into Thanksgiving leftovers and Black Friday deals, we’re throwing it back to one of your favourite episodes! Nat thinks she has lost her sexual spark. Back in the day, when she would spot a hot guy she’d do an Instagram deep dive but lately, not so much. What changed? Will the spark ever come back? Cat has her own theory about who is taking up the “d*ck space” in Nat’...

We are throwing it back to one of your favourite guests this week! Jamie Kern Lima has done it all! Denny’s waitress, struggling entrepreneur, battling her way through years of self-doubt, body-doubt, and God-doubt. She has been on a journey of learning to believe she’s here with purpose, on purpose, and for a purpose, and that she is worthy, lovable, and enough. We chatted with Jamie about her up...

We are recapping our incredible night at the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto! While we didn’t get swept up in the ticket madness (and let’s be real, it was total chaos), we were lucky enough to go thanks to a last-minute partnership and it was EVERYTHING. Getting to bring our girls to witness an incredible female artist dominate the stage for three hours straight was nothing short of inspiring. Ta...

Every child starts out as a people pleaser. Every single one of them just wants to make you happy—remember that. But it’s not their job to carry the weight of your feelings. In this episode, we talk about expressing emotions openly in the house, the toxicity of the silent treatment, and how to create a healthier dynamic. Plus, Cat shares a must-read book by one of our fave parenting experts, Dr. T...

Apparently there are eight different kinds of sex every married couple should have on rotation so we are here to break them down in today's episode! Spontaneous? Scheduled? Morning? Hotel? Quickie?

In this repeat episode we are bringing back a great one! One of our biggest fears is raising a narcissistic or watching our children fall in love with a narcissist. Dr. Ramani Durvasula helped us understand narcissistic people. Dr. Ramani is a licensed clinical psychologist, Professor Emerita of Psychology, and the Founder and CEO of LUNA Education, Training & Consulting, a company focused on...

Every girl needs to watch Martha Stewart’s documentary. Martha is the ultimate feminist icon—a woman who did it all and didn’t hold back. A man would’ve been praised for her achievements, but Martha was called a b!tch for being straightforward and unapologetic. No dad is called non paternal because he doesn't stay home and take care of his kids, why do we do that to our moms? And she faced prison...
