Parenting Teens Unfiltered: Making Puberty Positive with Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett

Season 9, Ep. 105

Welcome to the NEW podcast all about parenting teens with Cat & Nat. Each week we are going to go over topics that you need to know and bring an expert to break down an important topic. New episodes every Monday, go subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.


We have a bunch of kids going through puberty so we asked the million dollar question, at what age do we start discussing puberty with our kids? Experts Cara Natterson MD, pediatrician and New York Times bestselling author and Vanessa Kroll Bennett, puberty educator and writer sat down with us to share their valuable insight! Together they host The Puberty Podcast, run Order of Magnitude, the leading brand dedicated to flipping puberty positive and they wrote "This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained". Cara and Vanessa can be found on Instagram and TikTok @spillingthepubertea. Perhaps their biggest cred, however, is that between them, they parent six teens. For more on Cara and Vanessa check out @caranatterson, @vanessakrollbennett and www.lessawkward.com.

  • 115. Kelly Stafford: More Than a Quarterback’s Wife

    55:03
    Kelly Stafford is so much MORE than Matthew Stafford’s wife! We had an amazingly open and honest chat with her while we were in LA. We talked about everything—from her early days dating Matthew and moving for his career, to the intense discovery of her brain tumor and navigating motherhood through it all. Shortly after Kelly's youngest was born, the Stafford family made LA their new home, and to stay connected, Kelly started recording a podcast out of her home called “The Morning After.” What began as a recap of Sunday Night Football and fun nights out with friends evolved into an honest reflection on modern parenting, friendship, and marriage. You can listen to our episode with Kelly on her podcast at https://apple.co/4bPXDYw. And for more, check out @themorningafter.kellyandhank and @kbstafford89.

  • 114. Nat Got a Pap

    37:31
    Nat's been doing some proper adult things lately including getting a pap. She really wanted Cat to go with her but Nat had to tackle this one on her own and one thing she discovered was that the rooms are not soundproof! Haha. We also recapped the summer and how it was not an easy one for Cat. Up until this point, our kids haven't needed much. When this summer happened, Cat was like holy f*ck. Everything was all consuming for the first time in her parenting world, it nhad to be dealt with immediately. Cat was the best caregiver. Did what she had to do, there really was no other option.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 112. A Horny Pill

    27:06
    TW: We talk a lot about drugs on this episode. Everything from drugs that can make you horny to drugs we want when we are in an old folks home. We are seriously thinking of starting a company for sex supplements. There has to be something for woman, a drug or a pill that you can take and then you just feel horny. If it existed already it would be for sale everywhere. We know there is the little blue pill for men but where is that option for women??Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 110. We Have Boundaries Online

    38:58
    In this repeat episode we dive into boundaries. When it comes to an online presence with our kids, we have boundaries and they are very clear. We won't bad mouth our kids. We try to keep comments about our kids as general comments rather than specifically about one or the other. If we mention them off the cuff, it's our experience with them, not about them. And never too detailed. The online world is wild and crazy. Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

    Bringing you another fave as we go into the weekend! We started this podcast with "things we wish we knew sooner" but went down a rabbit hole when it literally came to holes.

We also strengethened our vaginas during this half hour convo. Never a minute wasted when you listen to a Cat & Nat podcast!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
