In this rollercoaster episode, Cat & Nat peel back the curtain on their wild postpartum journeys, complete with lingerie in the delivery room, mini Oreos for survival, and unbelievable hospital stories. You’ll discover: how perfectionist control falls apart in the first six months, the shocking reality of sleep training and weight loss expectations, and the crazy things we did to feel in control, like wardrobe planning for after birth. We break down the unspoken chaos of new motherhood, the mental health lows no one talks about, and the importance of asking are you okay? but in a non creepy way  before the dark thoughts take over. This isn’t your typical “she’s fine, she’s tired” postpartum chat. It’s a raw, hilarious look at the real struggles behind the Instagram perfect scenes, because if you think parenthood is just cuddles and cute photos, think again. The stakes? Missing out on your own sanity if you don’t talk about it. Finding humor and hope among the chaos because you’re not alone in the trenches. Perfect for expecting moms, new parents, or anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re just losing it, spoiler: you’re not alone. Tune in if you want a life-saving dose of reality, a few belly laughs, and the reminder that sometimes, just surviving the day is an epic victory. Hosted on Acast.

Remember when you were young and had a crush...you hung out with the same friend group, drank a bit, made out a little, and suddenly you were together. Basically, if you were talking to someone, you were dating them. Fast forward to today and we genuinely don’t understand the rules anymore. If we were single and dating a man our age (or younger!), we’d 100% still be playing by the old-fashioned rules. The question is, would he be doing the same!?

Divorce is an act of courage. It takes bravery to choose a different life, especially when kids are involved. Women aren’t leaving because they’re giving up — they’re leaving because they believe they deserve happiness and want to model healthy relationships for their children. It's a complicated decision. No one prepares you for this. And the person you married is not the person you divorce! Tune in for new Cat & Nat Unfiltered episodes every Monday, Tuesday and Friday!

We sat down with Antigone Davis, Global Head of Safety at Meta, to talk about what online safety for teens really looks like these days. With 83% of Canadian parents supporting app-store age verification, it’s clear families want practical ways to keep teens safe online. Antigone breaks down how Meta’s Teen Accounts give kids meaningful protections while keeping parents involved. She also shares why collaboration between parents, teens, and tech companies is so important for supporting young people and helping families feel more confident for the digital years ahead.

We’re talking about desire — where it started and where it went. Has our definition of sexual desire changed over time… or did life just get in the way? Nat used to be a full-on walking horndog but the mental load of motherhood kind of got in the way. We want to know, does desire disappear when kids are little but then come roaring back when they leave the house? Or does empty nesting just put a giant spotlight on your relationship with zero excuses left? Tune in for new Cat & Nat Unfiltered episodes every Monday, Tuesday and Friday!

We’re talking bodies, aging, food noise, and Oprah and Serena Williams making headlines around GLP-1s. PSA, will power is not the whole story.
