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 sold by motivational speakers but the self that tried daily, sometimes nailing it and sometimes failing it. Welcome to the brand new season of Cat & Nat Unfiltered, the Podcast!

From making orthodontist appointments and surviving camp without a proper towel, to why jobs, sports, awkward moments, and even a little discomfort might be exactly what kids need to become capable adults, this conversation goes deep. We unpack the impact of parenting guilt, why we're so quick to rescue our kids, and how convenience, technology, and social media may be changing the way this generation grows up. We also get into the emotional development of boys, the influence of online culture, the importance of accountability, and why some of the hardest parenting moments might actually be the most important ones. If you've ever wondered whether you should step in... or step back, this episode is for you. Because maybe the greatest gift we can give our kids isn't making life easier—it's letting them discover they can handle hard things.
