Cat & Nat are two moms/women trying to not live in the confines that society puts on them. As they debunk the myths, challenge the scripts and give women (and men) the freedom to say f*ck it. Through BFF conversations that everyone is thinking about but no one is talking about on Tuesdays, guest interviews on Thursdays and non traditional “Sex Fridays”, Cat & Nat take this podcast to a whole new level of f*ck it, inspiring their listeners to find themselves, their true selves. Not the ones s ...

We’re talking about the wild ride of getting your kid ready for university—the pressure, the questions, the panic, the prep. Are they really supposed to already know what they want to do with the rest of their lives? Because it sure feels like some of those kids have it all figured out. And then there’s the idea that you should land a job you’re pa…

In today’s repeat episode, we talk about the pressure cooker that comes with Grade 11 decision-making. Are teens really supposed to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives before they’ve even finished high school? Apparently. Because here in Canada, what you choose now dictates what courses you take, and that dictates what doors stay…

You know we had to talk about the Coldplay kiss cam moment that had everyone talking, watching, sharing, forwarding and gossiping about. These days, your whole life can literally implode in under five seconds—even if you didn’t post a single thing yourself. When did the wife find out? Did she get a million texts that night? Honestly, it makes us fe…

This episode goes in a few different directions—in true Cat & Nat fashion. We chat about the latest in pop culture, a post we shared that sparked some unexpected clap back (and what we really think about her comment), and a lot more in between. Plus, we ask the important question: would Jon Hamm be a good match for Nat? Truly a little bit of everyt…

Raising boys and girls can feel like parenting two entirely different species. The experience is different, the energy is different—and both come with their own unique challenges and rewards. In this episode, we unpack some of the common stereotypes and doomsday narratives about raising boys—and why those stories miss the mark. Boys today are often…

In this repeat favourite, we’re diving into all the things you didn’t know you needed to talk about—like peeing in the shower. Is it gross? Is it a genius timesaver? We’ve got thoughts. And we’re also getting into the big question: when your kid heads off to university, what do you actually do with their room? Keep it like a shrine or let a younger…

We pulled off two birthday parties in a week for our girls and were kind of surprised it all came together. Let's just say, thank goodness for Amazon. If we had to run around a store these parties would still be on a Pinterest board. But when it’s delivered to your door, suddenly we’re expert planners with themed floaties and twinkling lights! Want…

On today’s repeat episode, we’re thinking about what we’d tell our younger selves—and our kids—about sex, relationships, and all the confusing stuff in between. There’s this idea that sex equals desire, love, attraction, and a healthy relationship—and if you’re not having sex, something must be wrong. And if you are having sex, people assume everyt…

Remember when you went to university, picked a major, and walked out with a job waiting? That’s not how it works anymore. AI is flipping the job market upside down. Half the jobs our kids will do don’t even exist yet, and in our opinion, university has become more of a social experiment than a career guarantee. We’re unpacking the pressure of picki…

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 …

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?

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.…

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. Confiden…

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 f…

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 amo…

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 arche…

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.

And now, with social media in the mix, it’s easi…

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?

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 p…

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. Rejecti…

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 wh…

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…

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?

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 dan…

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 the…

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 …

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 …

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…

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 eg…

Nat reveals her latest indulgence that has taken over her mornings - and maybe her waistline - bagels. The conversation spirals from there into why Cat works out and how great it would be to bring back the workout mentality of the 80's. In a surprise twist, Nat shows us exactly what her teenage workout looked like—and it’s not what you would expect…

What’s really happening behind our kids’ screens? As parents, it’s more important than ever to educate ourselves to the max. We can’t assume our kids would “know better” — because when it comes to fast decisions and online pressure, common sense often goes out the window. N*des are being sent and received every single day. And most of us weren’t ra…

This week we’re pulling back the curtain on what really goes down at dance competitions.

Can you actually learn to be happy? We all know that happiness isn't something you can buy, but can money help make you happy? So many of us are living pretty great lives but miss it because we’re busy chasing the next thing, comparing ourselves to everyone else, or feeling like we’re not where we “should” be. If your life doesn’t look exactly like…

Teen sports are equal parts commitment and carpooling. In this episode, we’re talking about that tricky moment in time when your kid wants to quit sports. Do you let them? Do you push through?

When we got married, we were young, in love, and willing to compromise a little to make it all work. But now, with a little life experience in the rearview mirror—and peri-menopause messing with our hormones—we have to ask: Would we do it all again, knowing what we know now? In this episode, Nat opens up about one of the biggest compromises in her …

We are back to recap Nat’s big night out with the girls. She went to a dance club ready to relive her glory days and see how many men would hit on her—heels on, hair done, full confidence activated—and left a little… confused. Not one guy tried to pick her up. Not a wink, not even a drink. Was it the wedding ring? The unshakable confidence? We defi…

There’s helicopter parenting, bulldozer parenting, attachment parenting—and now lighthouse parenting. Honestly, we think we do middle of the road parenting: the do-what-works-best-for-you kind of parenting. It all gets messy when we start judging other people’s choices. We’re doing what works for us, and that doesn’t need to make sense to anyone el…

We need to know what really goes down in a beer league locker room. Are people just casually walking around naked? Are their unspoken rules? Do you compare?

We started this episode off by discussing the airport theory—the one where you roll up as close to your flight as possible, breeze through security, and avoid wasting precious time browsing overpriced snacks. Basically, it’s how we’ve always done it… and now the internet finally gave it a name. We also shared some pretty funny border crossing stori…
