Cat & Nat Unfiltered

There is a shift in parenting older kids. The roles, the routines, even the purpose. Do we need a club? Hobbies? A retirement home for people our age? We ask ourselves the three questions every mom should ask. Weigh in and let us know your answers!

This podcast is presented by The Common Parent. The all-in-one parenting resource you need to for your teens & tweens. We've uncovered every parenting issue, so you don't have too...

Remember when you were young and had a crush...you hung out with the same friend group, drank a bit, made out a little, and suddenly you were together. Basically, if you were talking to someone, you were dating them. Fast forward to today and we genuinely don’t understand the rules anymore. If we were single and dating a man our age (or younger!), we’d 100% still be playing by the old-fashioned rules. The question is, would he be d...

Divorce is an act of courage. It takes bravery to choose a different life, especially when kids are involved. Women aren’t leaving because they’re giving up — they’re leaving because they believe they deserve happiness and want to model healthy relationships for their children. It's a complicated decision. No one prepares you for this. And the person you married is not the person you divorce!

We sat down with Antigone Davis, Global Head of Safety at Meta, to talk about what online safety for teens really looks like these days. With 83% of Canadian parents supporting app-store age verification, it’s clear families want practical ways to keep teens safe online. Antigone breaks down how Meta’s Teen Accounts give kids meaningful protections while keeping parents involved. She also shares why collaboration between parents, t...

We’re talking about desire — where it started and where it went. Has our definition of sexual desire changed over time… or did life just get in the way? Nat used to be a full-on walking horndog but the mental load of motherhood kind of got in the way. We want to know, does desire disappear when kids are little but then come roaring back when they leave the house? Or does empty nesting just put a giant spotlight on your relationship...

We’re talking bodies, aging, food noise, and Oprah and Serena Williams making headlines around GLP-1s. PSA, will power is not the whole story. If you’ve ever wondered why food feels louder for some people, why “just eat less” misses the point, or how aging changes the way you see your body and your health — this one's for you.

This episode is brought to you in part by Sony Interactive Entertainment, the company behind PlayStation.

We sat down with Catherine Jensen, Vice President of Global Consumer Experience Sony Interactive Entertainment, to talk about console gaming and the parental controls available on PlayStation including the PlayStation Family app, which can help parents feel more confident navigating their kids’ gaming experiences. We discuss...

Spoiler Alert! We are talking about the steamy, intense, can’t-look-away show Heated Rivalry! This show matters for anyone raising kids in competitive sports, for anyone who’s watched their kid hide pieces of themselves just to “fit in,” and for anyone who knows how ridiculously unfair it is that loving someone could still feel risky. Let us know if you are watching it. Let us know if you are going to watch it! And let us know your...

What defines good parenting and how do you know if you’re doing it right? In the first ten years, we felt like we were exceeding expectations—an A+—even though it was physically and mentally exhausting. There were routines and the satisfaction of giving kids structure. Parenting changes as they get older. Now, it’s about sharing the role, letting them make their own decisions, and shifting into more of a coaching mindset. Parenting...

• In this episode, Cat and Nat explore the complexities of relationships, particularly focusing on the challenges of maintaining intimacy amidst the chaos of parenting. They candidly discuss how their attention is often diverted to their children, leaving little room for romantic connections. Despite this, both express a sense of stability in their marriages, acknowledging that while date nights may not be a priority, their r...

Cat decided to be proactive with her health and booked a colonoscopy and what followed was a masterclass in anticipation, oversharing, and full-body surrender. The wait for the prep drink to kick in felt eerily similar to waiting to go into labor. Constant check-ins of “Has it happened yet?” and then suddenly… a total system cleanse. We’re talking power-hose energy. Nothing left behind. It’s a very real reminder that taking ca...

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 back? Will we have to literally push ...

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 did I do? What’s wrong with me? Fo...

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 somehow even scored a new BFF in Snoop!

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 things get too carried away!

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!

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 change. Bad days happen… for you, ...

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 future looks like for girls everywhe...
