Cat & Nat Unfiltered

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 were teens. What happened to a simple “Will you go to prom with me?” folded up in a note?Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

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 private conversations into public humiliation, and isolating others with just a few taps on a screen. It’s hard to know how to help. How can we support our kids through a social landscape that’s constantly shifting?This podcast is presented by The Common Parent.

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 eggs and call it a day? We have zero science degrees but so many questions.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

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 raised with any kind of rulebook for how to handle that — let alone how to help our kids through it. That’s why we need to truly understand what’s going on so we can parent them through it, not just react to it. Get informed and lead from a place of awareness — not fear.This podcast is presented by The Common Parent. The all-in-one parenting resource you need to for your teens & tweens.

This week we’re pulling back the curtain on what really goes down at dance competitions. When the pressure’s on, emotions can run high (like, really high), and suddenly moms become emotional buffers just trying to keep the peace. You're whispering calmly while your kid is spiraling because they haven’t eaten enough and their hair is secured with 37 bobby pins digging into their scalp. One wrong word could send them over the edge. Somehow, through all the tension and tiptoeing, there are lessons in patience, resilience, and how to show up when it’s hard. It’s exhausting… but it’s also kind of amazing.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
