Motherhood, Fear, and the Twisted Genius of Ashley Audrain
When Nat discovered her daughter was reading The Push for school, she knew we had to talk to the woman who wrote the book! Ashley Audrain is the powerhouse behind the global sensation The Push and the international bestseller The Whispers. Ashley's debut became a New York Times, Sunday Times, and #1 international bestseller, landed a spot as a Good Morning America Book Club pick, and is now headed for a limited TV series. We explore the themes that hooked readers everywhere, like motherhood, fear, creativity, connection, and all the unsettling bits we don’t usually say out loud. Ashley also takes us behind the scenes of her writing life, her publishing journey, and what it feels like when your novel becomes the book people are talking about.

Parenting Unfiltered: Parenting Boys Through Rejection
We’re talking about an important part of growing up that often gets overlooked: rejection. Boys need to know that being broken up with isn’t something to be embarrassed about. Not every connection is a fit. Admitting they were rejected isn’t a weakness — it’s part of learning who they are and how to move forward in a healthy way. When we normalize rejection, we help them build resilience and emotional confidence. As parents, our job is to keep the conversation open and ongoing so our kids understand that rejection is a normal part of life. This podcast is presented by The Common Parent. The all-in-one parenting resource you need to for your teens & tweens. We've uncovered every parenting issue, so you don't have too.Are you a parent that is struggling understanding the online world, setting healthy screen-time limits, or navigating harmful online content?

The Magic of Younger Men
Men and women run differently—and let’s face it, we usually get them more than they get us. In this repeat episode we chat about whether an older woman and a younger man actually make the perfect pair? When you mix her experience with his fresh perspective, wisdom with curiosity, something sparks. A young guy who’s still learning isn’t insecure—he’s open, adaptable, and maybe that’s exactly where the magic lives.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

We Survived a Media Trip: Punta Cana Edition
We just got back from a media trip to Club Med Punta Cana! We met real influencers (the ones who actually do this for a living), and wow, it’s a hard job. It feels like you don’t have control or power over your life and that someone is dictating what you’re worth. They literally hit the ground running and didn’t stop. No one really knew who we were — and that’s just fine, because we know that the moms know who we are!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

Cat & Nat are two moms/women trying to not live in the confines that society puts on them. 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!
