Cat & Nat Unfiltered

Nat has a boyfriend. He lives down the street. She’s never met him. But she has lusted after him for years and is fully convinced they’d be perfect together… despite knowing absolutely nothing about him—not even his name. And just to keep things balanced, we (aka Cat) come to a shocking realization by the end of this episode that Nat may actually be kind of boring for her own imaginary boyfriend....

Watching our daughters compete in dance this past weekend got us thinking about the life lessons they’re learning. They practice endlessly for a routine they only get one shot at, and they’re often really tough on themselves. A lot of people have walked away from dance because of the coaching culture—the yelling, the idea that tough coaching is the only way to make kids listen. If we normalize it...

The flu has us in a chokehold, so we’re bringing back one of your favourite episodes! Nat’s mind is in overdrive, spinning a full-blown fantasy with multiple characters—and someone we know just made the cast. She’s playing it out in her head, waiting to see who takes the lead role. It’s basically a novel unfolding in real-time, and we have no idea who the main character will be. Stay tuned, becaus...

We know Tamron Hall as a two-time Emmy Award-winning television host and executive producer, but did you know she’s now a children’s book author too? We’ve shared so many fun moments with Tamron over the years, so getting to sit down with her to chat about Harlem Honey: The Adventures of a Curious Kid was an absolute blast. Tamron shares how her son’s endless curiosity and sense of wonder inspired...

We were a little all over the map on this episode. First, we dive into whether our kids are destined to choose someone completely opposite from us. Then, we take a little detour into Nat’s sleeping pills before diving into the future—why the next generation will probably hate anyone over 45 for ruining everything with technology, and how they just might take it all back. We’re talking about origin...

Emojis aren’t just cute little symbols. Our kids are using them to tell a story, and most parents have no clue what they actually mean. In this episode, we dive into the Netflix show "Adolescence" and how we often hear parents say the words “my kid would never”. Those words might be the most naive thing you can say as a parent. It’s our job to set the boundaries, to teach them how to navigate a de...

Marriage or a commitment isn’t just one relationship—it’s three in one: the sexual, the stable, and the loving. But nobody teaches us how important that friendship piece is! Marriage is so freaking complicated and nothing like Temptation Island. That honeymoon-phase chemistry looks amazing on TV, but in real life it's a whole different story. This is part one, and next week, we’ll dive into what i...

In Mexico, the drugstore shelves are stocked with literally everything—no prescription, no hassle. Meanwhile, back home, you need a doctor’s note, two forms of ID, and a secret handshake just to get basic meds. We shared a few post-vacation thoughts and then totally pivoted to talk about hormones and what’s next for us. Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the word "Podcast" to +...

Gone are the days when teens only worried about homework and who was dating who—now they’re plugged into everything from politics to world events before we’ve even had our first sip of coffee. But do we really know what they’re consuming and how it’s affecting them? This week, we’re discussing the blind spots we have as parents—the apps we don’t understand, the belief that our kids are immune, and...

Before you say I do, do you ask the real questions—like, “How do you load the dishwasher?” This week, we’re diving into the little (but actually huge) things that shape relationships, from early childhood Sunday dinners to the ways our parents showed love. Did you grow up in a house full of energy or one where you could hear a pin drop? Were birthday gifts an event or was one gift plenty? And of c...

This episode may not be an easy listen, but it’s an important one. The reality is, Gabby Petito could have been any of our daughters. Even if you already know the details, this new documentary offers a fresh perspective—a family's perspective. The relationship was controlling, but as parents, how do we help our adult children in situations like this? We’re so thankful her parents shared their stor...

As parents, we need to wake up—our teenagers have never known a world without Snapchat, and there’s an entire set of unwritten rules that no adult has subscribed to, checked, or even questioned. So, what do we do? Banning the phone isn’t the answer, but keeping the conversation going is. The unavoidable reality is that these devices are now their wallets, their transit passes, and their safety net...

You know Fridays are reserved for the fun stuff, and this week, we're bringing you some wild (and wacky) hookup stories—plus proof that there really is someone out there for everyone, even those who enjoy the unexpected allure of sexy talk… in a Yoda voice. Whether you're here for the laughs or just to feel better about your own dating history, we’ve got you covered. Want our podcasts sent straigh...

When we sat down to talk about one of the biggest constants in our lives, we realized it was something so simple—Starbucks. It’s been there through all the kids and building our business. Here’s our look back at what Starbucks has meant to us over the years. 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 they'...

We sat down with  The Tea: The Talk  author Alicia Crespin for a candid chat about navigating those tricky (and often awkward) conversations with our kids. From puberty to relationships to the questions that catch us completely off guard, Alicia shares her wisdom on how to approach “the talk” with confidence—and maybe even a little humor.  The Tea: The Talk  isn’t just a parent...

Menopause research is finally getting the attention (and funding) it deserves. We dive into an old article on reviving your sex drive in perimenopause and have some thoughts. Our grandmas didn’t have hormone therapy, libido boosters, or fancy lubes—did they just suffer in silence, or did they know something we don’t? There’s no magic horny pill, and lube alone isn’t the answer. So what actually is...

It’s a new Well-being podcast from Audible hosted by Chrissy Teigen. Throughout the series, Chrissy explores the cutting edge of personal development with some of the world’s leading experts and authors in the wellness space. In this episode, bestselling author and motivational speaker Mel Robbins talks about reclaiming power in relationships by letting people be who they are. Hosted on Acast...

We’re covering it all—starting with Nat looking damn good naked (and we are here for it). Then, we dream up the ultimate perimenopause retreat—a place where women can be treated like royalty and reset their mental health. And because we never miss a chance to talk about things we should know more about, we dive into prostate checks for men and what we actually know (or don’t know!) about them. Are...

This week we chatted about the ‘launching age for teens’ and how we feel that realistically it is no longer 18. Is this a reflection of how we parent? Some kids in the US will 'reclassify' to improve grades or become more competitive in sports. It seems like a positive spin when your kid is not ready for university. Is that the right approach? We also take an unexpected turn from a parenting podca...

Women run differently than men, and let’s be honest—we understand men way more than they understand us. Could a younger male and an older female actually work better together? Different generations bring different perspectives. When you mix experience with curiosity, wisdom with fresh energy, something clicks. A young male mind that’s still learning isn’t insecure—he’s open, he’s adaptable, and ma...

Description: In this repeat episode Julia Karol is back for part two, giving us the inside scoop on how she chose a sperm donor, what actually goes into picking a donor and whether a sperm bank tells you how many times that sperm has been chosen. If you’re as curious as we are, you need to check out Julia’s podcast, Strok'd. She brings together real stories from people redefining family in th...

Here’s the thing about parenting—you have to do the hard stuff. You can’t just throw out threats; you have to follow through. In this repeat episode Nat had to put her foot down because the disrespect from one of her kids was out of control. She knew she was making the right call, but at the end of the day, someone loses out. Sometimes, you have to tell your kids, I don’t want to do this either. T...

As our kids transition from childhood to their tween and teen years, it can feel like we’re losing our grip. They start gaining independence, communication shifts, and they begin forming their own identities outside the family. It’s natural to want to hold on tighter by saying no, but learning how to evolve alongside them can actually strengthen your bond and help you navigate this stage with more...

This is an encore episode, and it’s just as hilarious the second time around with some seriously unexpected toilet talk on our “sex and relationship” podcast. From naked pooping to smelly farts, we need to know: Is there someone in your house who gets completely butt naked to poop? And if they do… do they lock the door? It’s hard to imagine a mom pulling this off—there’s always an emergency! Want...
