Cat & Nat Unfiltered

Putting boundaries in place with toddlers can feel straightforward—but when our kids become teenagers, those boundaries start to shift, take on new forms, and become important for entirely different reasons. There’s a lot of fear wrapped up in parenting teens, so we brought in Dr. Jenny Hwang, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping parents navigate connection, co...

So apparently there are eight different kinds of sex every married couple should be having on rotation… and obviously, we had to weigh in. Spontaneous? Scheduled? Morning? Hotel? Quickie? We’re breaking them all down—what works and what doesn’t, and which ones you should be doing. Enjoy this repeat episode! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

This week, we’re chatting with Katie Sturino—entrepreneur, author, body acceptance queen, and founder of Megababe (aka the brand saving our thighs this summer!). Katie has built a community by speaking up for size inclusivity and empowering women of all sizes to feel confident and celebrate their style. Now, she’s bringing her signature honesty and humor to the page with her debut novel ...

You can totally love yourself… and still not feel 100% confident. You can be in friendships or relationships where you're constantly overthinking, and forgetting to actually live your life because you're too busy chasing what they're doing. But here’s the truth: the second you stop giving a sh*t is the second people stop messing with your emotions. The minute you throw down a boundary? That’s when...

Just when you think you’ve got this parenting thing down, they become teenagers and start pushing every boundary. Wendy Snyder, certified parenting educator, family life coach, and mom of two is all about helping parents ditch the yelling, threats, and punishments—and instead parent from a place of connection Wendy’s approach is all about raising good humans without losing your mind. She teaches s...

Alli is an entrepreneur, author, mom, and total visionary who’s not afraid to dive into the real, raw, and messy parts of life.

We blinked and suddenly it’s summer — and with it comes distracted driving season. People are missing turns, staring at their phones, or just completely zoning out behind the wheel. No surprise it’s one of the biggest traffic issues in the city right now. And with our own kids creeping toward driving age, we’re spiraling just a little bit. Confidence matters, but experience matters even more. Some...

In this popular repeat episode, we’re chatting about one of those parenting topics that always gets people talking—do you let your underage teen and their friends have a drink at your house? Some parents feel like it’s the responsible choice because it’s a safe space, while others are a firm no. We’re talking through both sides and sharing how we feel about it....at this moment in time. This podca...

We want to write erotica. But not your typical steamy story… we’re talking one from a mom’s perspective. We want more than the same old storylines where it’s all about him. We’re dreaming of a rom-com with a side of heat—where the main character is a mom juggling real life and still finding time for the GOOD stuff. Something with just the right amount of spice—because let’s be honest, we deserve m...

We’re recapping Cat’s daughter’s 16th birthday party and yes… there was a full-blown backyard extravaganza. And it got us thinking—how did we get here? When we were growing up, birthday parties were lucky-if-you-even-celebrated situations. After 11, it was a sleepover, a frozen pizza, and a few extra blankets in the basement. Now it’s balloon arches, custom cakes, and themed photo booths. Birthday...

Some people you forget the second they walk away. And then there are the ones you never forget—because they were either so kind… or so not. This week, we’re talking about the people from grade school and high school who left a mark, and how something they said or did can stay with you for a lifetime. And now, with social media in the mix, it’s easier than ever for someone to get into your head and...

Would you do it? OnlyFans drops a million-dollar offer for one video—would you do it? In this repeat episode, we ask the question that got us spiralling: How much would it take for us to say yes? One of us threw out a number and it was not what you might think! 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 th...

Teenagers and their BIG FEELINGS. From sky-high highs to dramatic lows, it’s all actually pretty normal. Being self-focused is part of their job right now — it's how they’re wired. But that doesn’t mean we can’t help them process and release those emotions in healthier ways. Sometimes they just need permission to feel without being told there’s a problem. Teenagers are a different breed, in the be...

This week we’re chatting about relationships between girls and boys — the sometimes awkward, messy, confusing kind. From school friends to heartbreaks, what does it really mean when someone rejects you? You don’t have to be besties with everyone, and just because someone doesn’t want to date you doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. Rejection is not failure — it’s redirection. Let’s normal...

This week we’re talking underwear — the sad state of our current collection, how ridiculously expensive it is to buy the good stuff, and why we’re leaning into all-black undies thanks to the surprise periods of perimenopause. But post-menopause? Game on. Lacy, colourful, white, downright sexy — no more playing it safe. We’re manifesting a future where our underwear drawer is more “ooh la la” and l...

By the time our kids are dating, apparently their plus-ones might be robots. Yep—literal robots. Sitting at our dinner tables, making awkward small talk… or maybe it wouldn’t be awkward because they’d be programmed to say all the right things? Either way, it’s a hard no from us. We’re totally here for robots that do the grocery shopping and make us dinner —but robot boyfriends or girlfriends joini...

We strongly encourage everyone to listen to this episode with Heidi Chance, a former undercover detective with over 27 years of experience fighting sex trafficking. Heidi shares what she’s seen firsthand, the dangers many parents don’t even realize are out there, and how we can start having the hard—but crucial—conversations with our kids to keep them safer online. Recognized as a Subject Matter E...

From chaotic pillow piles to pets on the bed, we’re breaking down what your sleep setup really says about you. Are you a hot mess under the sheets or a neat freak who fluffs before hopping into bed? Do you need total silence or fall asleep to true crime podcasts (Nat!!)? We’re diving into sleep habits, bedtime quirks, and all the weird things we do once we crawl under the covers. And also, should...

We’re recapping our amazing trip to the Bahamas with two of our boys — just the four of us this time. The other five kids stayed home (and shockingly… didn’t even complain about it). We put on the swimsuits, got our hair wet, and made core memories. It was the kind of trip that reminded us what really matters. And here’s your reminder: wear the dang suit. Get in the water. Splash around. Be in the...

We are brining you one of your favourite episodes on this holiday Monday. As our teens get older, we start to realize something big: our voice — the one they used to hang on every word of — isn’t the loudest in their world anymore. Suddenly, we’re just one of many voices competing for space. Their friends matter. Like, really matter. The people they hang out with can shape everything — for better...

In this episode, Nat takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane—back to the days of makeout sessions that stopped just short of the main event: dry humping, plus a few of the unfortunate accidents that came with it. From the curse of khakis to doors that really should’ve been locked, nothing is off the table. We’re also officially putting out a call: we need a guy to come on the pod and tell us...

We’re talking about the promposal Taylor got at her dance competition—in public, with signs and everything! While we love the romance of it all, we can’t get over the insane pressure these kids are under to make these moments Instagram-worthy. From giant signs to full-on public performances! Honestly, we’re kind of glad this wasn’t a thing when we were teens. What happened to a simple “Will you go...

We’re talking about "mean girls" and how mean girl behavior has evolved in the digital age. It’s no longer just whispered comments or exclusion at recess—today, manipulation can happen through group chats, DMs, screenshots and social media posts. Girls are being targeted in more subtle, calculated ways—using each other’s words against them, turning private conversations into public humiliation, an...

How many times do dolphins have sex? And do manatees masturbate? This week, we somehow dove into the sex habits of mammals—starting with dolphins and then wandering into even stranger waters with manatees and whether or not they enjoy a little “solo” time. Which oddly led us straight to dinosaurs. Did they actually have sex? Or did they just lay eggs and call it a day? We have zero science degrees...
