Cat & Nat Unfiltered

We headed to LA to sit down with Aurora Culpo, the no-BS, tell-it-like-it-is host of Barely Filtered.

With a background in Behavior Analysis and special education, Aurora brings a psychology-driven lens to connection, self-awareness, and human behavior. We chat about literally ev...

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 world is a full-time job, and how ev...

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. The cost? Honestly… WTF!?

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 conversation can feel impossible. F...

The Tea: The Talk is more than just a parenting guide—it’s a powerful collection of stories from over 30 women, sp...

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.

We’re diving into a hot topic sparked by Kim Kardashian—she says her kids won’t be doing homework after a full school day. Eight hours in class feels like enough, which has us wondering if the whole school system might be a little archaic. Teachers, we want you to weigh in—do kids really need to be doing homework? And on the topic of homework, how many of you are really doing your kids homework??

Back to school is basically a mom’s New Year—and we’re so excited to kick it off with you. We’re talking “out of town confidence” (our favorite on-the-road alter ego), how the way you love someone and the way they love you back isn’t always the same, and the truth about raising teens (we’ve never met one that isn’t at least a little angsty or anxious). Nobody feels like a million bucks every day, nobody has it all together—and if t...

When we got married, we were young, in love, and willing to bend a little to make it all work. But now—with some life experience under our belts and peri-menopause playing havoc with our hormones—we have to ask ourselves: Would we do it all again, knowing what we know now? In this repeat episode, Nat gets real about one of the biggest compromises in her marriage—something Mark let slide that seemed small at the time, but looking ba...

This year is going to be an emotional one. One of our kids is finishing their last year of high school before heading off to university—which means campus tours, big decisions, and all the feelings that come with it. Teenagehood looks so different now compared to when we were growing up. We were the generation of fun with endless parties, no check-ins, and parents who had no clue where we were most of the time. That secrecy was par...

As we watch so many of you pack your teens off for university we felt it was the perfect time to bring back this epside! As Dean at Stanford, Julie Lythcott-Haims witnessed firsthand the toll that overparenting takes—students who were anxious, depressed, and unprepared to handle life when things didn’t go their way. In this interview, she offers a powerful alternative: a path to raising kids who are truly self-sufficient. Julie is ...

We’re talking wild (and wacky) hookup stories—plus proof that there really is someone out there for everyone, even those who find themselves oddly charmed by sexy talk… in a Yoda voice. Whether you’re here for the laughs or just to feel a little better about your own dating history, we’ve got ...

Cat did something small that turned out to be life changing! Sometimes the tiniest decisions can feel like the biggest shifts. So often we say “no” because it’s the rule, it’s the norm, it’s just the way things are done. But we get to make our own rules. And in the process, Cat had one of those “oh wow, I feel like a grown-up” moments. It really is the little things that matter.

Menopause research is (finally) getting the attention it deserves. In this repeat episode we dive into an old article on reviving your sex drive in perimenopause and share our take. Our grandmas didn’t have hormone therapy, libido boosters, or fancy lubes… so did they just suffer in silence, or were they onto something we don’t know? We explore the options and share our thoughts. Disclaimer: In another life, we totally would have b...
