Cat & Nat Unfiltered

When Nat discovered her daughter was reading The Push for school, she knew we had to talk to the woman who wrote the book! Ashley Audrain is the powerhouse behind the global sensation The Push and the international bestseller The Whispers. Ashley's debut became a New York Times, Sunday Times, and #1 international bestseller, landed a spot as a Good Morning America Book Club pick, and is now headed for a limited TV series. We explor...

We’re talking about an important part of growing up that often gets overlooked: rejection. Boys need to know that being broken up with isn’t something to be embarrassed about. Not every connection is a fit. Admitting they were rejected isn’t a weakness — it’s part of learning who they are and how to move forward in a healthy way. When we normalize rejection, we help them build resilience and emotional confidence. As parents, our jo...

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 the magic lives.

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 moms know who we are!

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 animals—connections that help us fee...

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.

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 real about aging and the habits that ...

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 the Parent You Want to Be helps pare...

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!

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.

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 world that’s moving a little too f...

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!

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.

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. Social media is the "white van" of ...

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 day realizing you’ve disappeared fro...

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, and somehow completely hilarious a fe...

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 together, they pulled off what’s be...

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 marriage. Tune in to hear what they ...

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, it’s hard to change. Fighting back ...
