Cat & Nat Unfiltered

Parenting teens feels like uncharted territory. It doesn’t get easier, it just changes. This might be one of the most challenging phases yet: helping our kids learn how to launch. What used to be a natural progression into independence now feels far less automatic, and more dependent on us. We love that our kids still want to be close, but does that closeness help them grow or quietly hold them ba...

We all know how important a mom group can be for your mental health and support, especially when you don’t have family around. Mom groups are supposed to be your safe space… until they leave you out in the cold. We’re talking about Ashley Tisdale feeling excluded from a celeb mom group that included none other than Hilary Duff. If you’ve ever found yourself on the outside of a group thinking, What...

Every girl needs to watch Martha Stewart’s documentary. Martha is peak feminist goals! She ran the world and didn’t apologize for it. A man would have been praised for doing half the stuff she did, but Martha got called a b!tch. No dad ever hears that he's “non-paternal” for not staying home with the kids—so why did we shame Martha like that? Then, she went to prison, came out swinging, and someho...

We promise to be back soon with new episodes but life is just life'ing. In this repeat episode Nat shares how not one, but two people completely broke down in tears right in front of her. And while we all get that emotions can run high, Nat is definitely not the “let’s hug it out” type. After today’s episode, it’s clear she’s also not the shoulder to cry on type. Nat prefers to shut it down before...

Since Nat is currently "celebrating" with her inlaws we thought it was appropriate to bring back this episode! It's the season for traveling and getting creative about keeping the spark alive, even when you’re stuck in a house with paper-thin walls. We’re serving up the ultimate hacks for sneaky holiday sex at your in-laws! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the word "Podcast"...

In this repeat episode we’re talking about holding space for the “ugly” days—the ones where life just feels messy. Maybe you do the same thing as yesterday, but it still feels off. And if we need space to have an ugly day then guess what? So do our kids. Let’s normalize not loving every single moment. Stop fighting the feeling—there’s always tomorrow, or even later today. It’s okay if things don’t...

In this repeat episode, we’re celebrating the next powerhouse generation of girls. Whether it’s the aftermath of Covid or just life doing its thing, we’re seeing a shift: young girls who are bold, fierce, and unapologetically themselves. They speak up, stand their ground, and sometimes get stubborn just to prove a point. It’s inspiring, it’s game-changing, and it’s completely redefining what the f...

We hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday season! In this repeat episode we want to know—does dry humping still happen? Do kids even call it that anymore? Are they skipping that step altogether? Because back in the day, that was essential! We want all the details! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the word "Podcast" to +1 (917) 540-8715 and we'll text you the new epi...

Christmas is right around the corner, and things are getting a little chaotic. Moms, we see you—juggling a million things just to make the magic happen. Don’t miss Cat’s paper plates vs. platters analogy… it’s kinda mind-blowing. We’re taking a short break to soak up the holidays with our families, so kick back and enjoy some of our favorite reruns until we’re back with a brand-new season. See you...

In this repeat episode we are bringing you another parenting conundrum: you decide to spend your life with someone… but how much of the really important stuff do you actually talk about first? Parenting styles? How you handle conflict? The tricky stuff—like your kid’s sexual orientation or dating rules for your teens? Most couples barely scratch the surface before walking down the aisle. You can b...

We are officially on holiday and bringing you encore episodes of some of our favourites, starting with this one! Cat’s already planning her 69th birthday bash—because, well... 69! Expect doggy-style cupcakes and a few surprises we can’t spill just yet. And of course we had to talk about Nat’s “Puss Power”. Curious? You’ll have to listen to find out! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? T...

We’re talking about confidence, the real, unshakeable kind. And we know exactly where ours came from: our moms, who truly didn’t give a f*ck and showed us what it looks like to be confident. Confidence gets passed down. Be the example. Raise kids who know they belong. Because confidence is taught, lived, and inherited. We want to hear from you! What brings you those tiny pieces of confidence? What...

This is a personal story. Everyone's story is different. This is our story. Kids are masters at being chameleons. They don't want to be different or learn differently. They are very good at hiding their struggles, until one day the wheels come off. Teachers and school systems are not always equipped to fully understand learning disabilities. But you don’t have to rely on the system to teach your c...

We’re diving into the classic relationship book 'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus' because some things about the opposite sex will never make sense. Men try to fix our feelings, women try to fix the men, and everyone ends up feeling unappreciated and annoyed. This book stayed on The New York Times best-seller list for 121 weeks, and yet we still have no clue how the opposite sex works. Shou...

It’s a little “December to Remember” recap, and this one was so much fun! We’ve been doing this for ten years now! We were twelve people sleeping on a bus like a very loud, very tired summer camp. There were salaries, flights, food, and back-to-back shows where we somehow got up and delivered the exact same energy night after night. Now we pull it all together for one BIG night in Toronto. The mag...

Before we did the research on Roblox, we honestly thought it was just a simple video game. Most parents probably do. But the reality is far more complicated. Roblox is a massive gaming platform with millions of user-created games inside it. Anyone can build a game, and kids can jump in and play — which means there’s essentially no real regulation. And because kids are kids, they don’t always recog...

We are chatting about the rise of grey divorce and something even quieter, the silent divorce, when couples quietly unravel without ever officially announcing a thing. Cat opens up about her own divorce story and how it shaped her. And if you’re a parent going through it, put your sh*t aside. Your shrapnel doesn’t need to land on your kids. Be the grown-up. They don’t need the messy details, they...

There has been a NASTY sickness bouncing aroumd our houses so we are bringing you a repeat episode to avoid spreading germs! We’re diving headfirst into Nat’s true-crime obsession, because apparently murder mysteries are her version of self-care. One of us cannot figure out the appeal. It’s twisted, it’s weird… and yet it somehow puts the biggest smile on Nat’s face. Want our podcasts sent st...

As our American friends enjoy Cyber Monday we are bringing you a repeat of an infortive interivew with Phinnah Chichi. Adolescence naturally comes with risk-taking, but for parents, it can feel like navigating a whole new world. Phinnah is a parenting consultant and coach who supports parents of tweens and teens as they move through these years together, strengthening their relationship instead of...

We are bringing you a repeat of one of your faves for Thanksgiving Friday! We covered it all in this one—from the bedroom to the big screen. First up: Viagra. Why do men get an instant boost with that little blue pill, while women are still waiting for something to spark their libido? Next, we’re tackling the empty nester myth. Do couples really heat things up once the kids move out, or is that ju...

We had to bring back one of our all-time fave BFF stories! Jessica Herzberg and T.H. Irwin are basically the ultimate besties who got engaged, married, and divorced —pretty much all at the same time. Because they couldn’t find the resources they needed during their own divorces, they created exEXPERTS and the Divorce Etc… podcast. They’re here to remind you: divorce sucks, but it doesn’t define yo...

We’re talking about doom scrolling — why we do it, why our kids do it, and how it can quietly become the way we mute feelings we don’t want to deal with. Scrolling can make you feel everything, or it can make you feel nothing at all. Either way, it pulls you out of your own life without you even noticing. At some point, your kids will need to study or focus without you taking the phone away from t...

Marriage and relationships aren’t all candlelight and spontaneous passion. Sex can feel like a chore, and desire doesn’t just magically appear. Women are carrying all the mental load—and it’s exhausting. Men? They’re just horny. From feeling like a house manager instead of a partner, to forgetting to flirt, laugh, and touch, we’re breaking down why intimacy fades and how to bring the spark back in...

When Nat discovered her daughter was reading The Push for school, she knew we had to talk to the woman who wrote the book! Ashley Audrain is the powerhouse behind the global sensation The Push and the international bestseller The Whispers. Ashley's debut became a New York Times, Sunday Times, and #1 international bestseller, landed a spot as a Good Morning America Book Club pick, and is now headed...

We’re talking about an important part of growing up that often gets overlooked: rejection. Boys need to know that being broken up with isn’t something to be embarrassed about. Not every connection is a fit. Admitting they were rejected isn’t a weakness — it’s part of learning who they are and how to move forward in a healthy way. When we normalize rejection, we help them build resilience and emoti...
