Cat & Nat Unfiltered

Men and women run differently—and let’s face it, we usually get them more than they get us. In this repeat episode we chat about whether an older woman and a younger man actually make the perfect pair? When you mix her experience with his fresh perspective, wisdom with curiosity, something sparks. A young guy who’s still learning isn’t insecure—he’s open, adaptable, and maybe that’s exactly where...

We just got back from a media trip to Club Med Punta Cana! We met real influencers (the ones who actually do this for a living), and wow, it’s a hard job. It feels like you don’t have control or power over your life and that someone is dictating what you’re worth. They literally hit the ground running and didn’t stop. No one really knew who we were — and that’s just fine, because we know that the...

Katherine Schwarzenegger, New York Times bestselling author and mother of three, joins Cat & Nat (once again!) to share her candid insights on the journey of motherhood. She takes us inside her new children’s book, Kat & Brandy, inspired by her own childhood pony, Brandy. Katherine explores themes of courage, trust, and overcoming fear, while reflecting on the powerful bonds we form with a...

It’s appointment season for Nat—colonoscopy, mammogram, heart check, dermatologist—you name it, she’s booked it. We’re talking blood, heart, boobs, face… the full tune-up! And because balance is everything, while we were in the Dominican, Nat stocked up on some of the good over-the-counter stuff to round things out. From midlife maintenance to Dominican travel hacks, we’re covering it all. Want ou...

Our hormones are all over the place and we’re just trying to keep up. We’re talking about what happens when your hormone levels start doing their own thing, how finding the right medication feels like a full-time job (and a reminder that we’re absolutely not doctors, just two women trying to find the right balance), and why every Google search somehow leads to more confusion. We’re also getting re...

In this repeat episode we sat down with parenting expert Dr. Becky Kennedy — clinical psychologist, mom of three, and the genius behind the “Good Inside” movement that’s changing how we think about raising kids. Dr. Becky has a gift for breaking down what’s really going on with our kids and turning it into simple, real-life strategies that actually work. Her book Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming t...

Nat took a trip to Amsterdam and got real up close and personal in the Red Light District. The ladies in the windows, the s*x museums, the live s*x shows, the tourists, the hubby by her side. Was it all that she thought it would be and more? Tune in to find out! 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 episodes when t...

Cat wants to write a smut book. For moms like us. Most erotica and smut books out there follow the same formulas: hot, young, tight… and basically nothing for our age group. There’s a serious gap in the genre, and it’s about time moms got the sexy, relatable stories we’ve been missing. Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the word "Podcast" to +1 (917) 540-8715 and we'll text you...

We had to talk about the big thing this week that’s so disturbing — the creepiness of Grok. Who programmed this thing?? It’s asking inappropriate questions (yes, even about n*des), and it’s raising a big red flag for moms everywhere. X’s chatbot is already known to be a little naughty, but what happens when this kind of tech ends up in the hands of curious teens? We need to keep our kids safe in a...

Perimenopause is confusing, frustrating, and way too misunderstood, even by some doctors. There’s not enough clarity, and women are often left to navigate it on their own, sorting through conflicting advice and wondering what’s normal, what’s treatable, and what can be ignored. If men went through menopause, there’d be a pill, a treatment, and a full wellness plan for every symptom! Want our podca...

We don’t know what we’ve done to our kids until they grow up. That’s when it hits you — the blind spots, the “we just wanted to help” moments, the realization that our kids might actually be spoiled. We’ve been their autopilot since day one — the more involved we are, the more they tune out. And now they’re walking around with noise-cancelling headphones on. Literally and metaphorically. Want our...

We’re thrilled to tackle this timely topic with lawyer Duncan Embury, who’s representing four major Ontario school boards in a landmark case against Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat. He explains why schools are pushing back, how these platforms are impacting kids’ learning and mental health, and why this legal fight matters for parents and families who are trying to navigate the social media landscape....

Marriage can be a tricky beast — one minute you’re in love, the next you’ve somehow merged into one person with the same opinions, friends, and weekend plans. We’re here to say, don’t do that! Keeping your own friends, hobbies, and goals isn’t just healthy — it’s what keeps things fresh. Real trust means letting each other live. Because if you merge too hard into his world, you might wake up one d...

Ever tried hitting the highway for a university tour while your stomach is in full-blown chaos? Usually it’s Nat battling IBS, but this time Cat had a MAJOR issue. Highway driving, cramps, sweating, white-knuckling, and praying every exit has a bathroom… until one doesn’t even have toilet paper. Total panic, totally relatable. Pepto didn’t stand a chance with this one! It’s terrifying, intense, an...

As parents, we’re all trying to figure out how to keep our kids safe in a world that’s constantly online. Anti-trafficking expert Laila Mickelwait is taking that fight to the next level — working to get child sexual assault material off streaming platforms for good. Her new book, Takedown, tells the unbelievable true story of how she sparked a global movement of more than two million people — and...

Nat has fake boyfriends and it’s kind of fun. She’s watching herself on these AI dates and when one of the guys leans in for a kiss, she feels giddy! But AI won’t let her get naughty. Every time she wants things to heat up it’s: “violation, violation, violation.” Too bad for Nat but good for the rest of us! And because we’re us — we pivoted and asked AI how to keep the spark alive in a real m...

Chatbots are shaping the way kids think, feel, and see themselves. These digital voices aren’t just tech—they can subtly groom identity, reinforcing messages about who you are, how you move through the world, and even how you believe you should behave. The scary reality is that kids don’t have fully formed identities yet—they can be given one by what they interact with online, and once it sticks,...

We have been touring universites and wow - these kids are putting so much pressure on themselves to figure it all out. Our advice is start early. Exploring options sooner helps to take the weight off and make the decision process simpler in Grade 12/seniour year. Remind kids that their first choice might not be their forever choice. With the right guidance, they can always change direction. Someti...

We headed to LA to sit down with Aurora Culpo, the no-BS, tell-it-like-it-is host of Barely Filtered. This divorced mom of two keeps it real on sex, dating, relationships, and wellness—all while navigating life with ADHD in a world that never stops moving. With a background in Behavior Analysis and special education, Aurora brings a psychology-driven lens to connection, self-awareness, and human b...

New school year = new friends = new germs. Here we go again. If you’re a mom, you already know that kids are basically walking germ vessels, and there are zero sick days for us. Feel the sign? BETADINE®. Don’t wait for the tickle to turn into a full-blown cold—get ahead now with BETADINE® Sore Throat Spray and Gargle and BETADINE® Cold Defense Nasal Spray so you’re ready to tackle cold season head...

We’re back with brand-new parenting episodes every Monday, and this week we are talking about screens, kids, and the chaos that comes with both. Remember when we thought parenthood would be easy? Between SnapMaps showing everyone's location, and the cesspool that is Snapchat, it’s enough to fry your brain. We’re talking about how to protect your kids from themselves, why monitoring their digital w...

This week we went all in on marriage and divorce—because more than half of marriages end in it. We got into what’s more expensive, how women are now choosing happiness over “just sticking it out,” and why some women walk away so their kids don’t grow up thinking this is what love looks like. Divorce can sometimes even bring more financial freedom. Then we flipped it and dove straight into weddings...

We’re coming to you live from LA, and today we’re diving headfirst into the topic of anxiety. For Nat, it shows up as overthinking, ruminating, sweating, shortness of breath, a racing heart…basically everything that could be mistaken for excitement. How many people are walking around anxious without even knowing it? We’re breaking down what it feels like, what it looks like, and why even a casual...

We sat down with The Tea: The Talk author Alicia Crespin for an open and honest conversation about navigating those tricky—and often awkward—moments with our kids. From puberty to relationships to the curveball questions that leave us speechless, Alicia shares practical advice on approaching “the talk” with confidence. The Tea: The Talk is more than just a parenting guide—it’s a powerful collectio...

Snorers, we need to talk. This week’s conundrum: do you wake up the human chainsaw beside you, or just lie there listening to your dreams get stolen? People who snore don’t even know they’re doing it. And why do they get so defensive when you say they did? Are we actually doomed to a lifetime of sleepless nights? Give us all of your tips and tricks if you sleep (aka don't sleep) beside a snorer.&n...
