7 Non-Negotiable Rules for Marriage

Season 13, Ep. 4

Apparently, there are seven non-negotiable rules for marriage, but do they even hold up? Before diving into the official list, we’re sharing some of our very own “Cat & Nat” non-negotiables—because marriage is all about finding what works for you. Will there be any overlap? Maybe. Will we have a lot to say? Definitely. Like why we think #7 deserves to be #1 and why #5 may have gone just a little too far!

  • 25. Parenting Unfiltered: The Power of No with Dr. Siggie Cohen

    18:18||Season 13, Ep. 25
    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 confidence. In this repeat episode Dr. Siggie Cohen, the "Child Whisperer" brings her deep expertise in child development to our conversation. She's helped countless parents and teachers better understand kids’ behaviors and support them through everything from emotional struggles to big transitions. Her insights are game-changers for anyone raising teens.For more on Dr. Siggie check out https://drsiggie.com and @dr.siggie.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

It’s hard to imagine a mom pulling this off—there’s always an emergency!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 23. Julia Karol Is a Solo Mom by Choice

    29:47||Season 13, Ep. 23
    She created her family on her own terms. In this encore episode, we had such a great time talking to Julia Karol about her journey to becoming a solo mom by choice that we had to make it a two-part series. After an unexpected breakup with the partner she thought she’d start a family with, Julia took matters into her own hands. She explored her options for motherhood and ultimately embarked on a fertility journey to become a solo parent—all while documenting it on the first season of her podcast, Stork’d.Want to hear more about Julia’s journey?

    Every day, we’re hit with headlines about kids and their cell phone use—how it’s damaging their mental health, wrecking attention spans, and fueling a whole new wave of parenting panic. We can all agree there’s a problem. But as parents, we’re on our phones too. And if we’re being honest, handing them a screen is easy. It’s quiet. It’s a break. Now, we’re stuck in the middle, navigating the fallout with no rulebook. Will the next generation of parents—armed with the knowledge we didn’t have—hesitate to give their kids phones?Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
