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!

We weren't kids who needed to \"try harder\"—we just needed to learn differently. We struggled through school, and now we're raising kids with different learning styles of their own. Looking back, we realize that \"try harder\" was some of the worst advice we ever received. This conversation is about shifting the focus from grades to confidence, because we truly believe that protecting our kids' self-worth is far more important than protecting their report cards. If you've ever wondered whether your child is lazy, unmotivated, or simply wired to learn differently, we hope this episode reminds you that sometimes the answer isn't to try harder—it's to try differently. Keywords ADHD, parenting, education, neurodivergent, school system, learning challenges, parenting tips, mental health, school reform, childhood development Key topics The spectrum of ADHD and misconceptions Challenges of traditional school systems for neurodivergent children Parenting strategies for children with learning differences The importance of trying different teaching methods The role of medication and alternative supports The value of passion and confidence in education Systemic issues in education and potential reforms Personal stories of navigating school and diagnosis Hosted on Acast.
