  • 9. Parenting Unfiltered: Balancing Hopes and Dreams

    42:25||Season 13, Ep. 9
    There will be moments when your child shares a huge dream—like going to the NHL or attending university in a different country—and you’ll have to find the balance between validating their dream and not crushing their spirit. As moms, we want to support their hopes, but we also know that life has a way of teaching the tough realities. So how do you encourage their big ideas without shattering their confidence—especially when one of those dreams involves a major financial commitment? What’s the right balance between “you can do anything!” and “maybe consider a backup plan”?Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 8. Relationship Fun Facts

    41:33||Season 13, Ep. 8
    We’re breaking down the big conversations everyone should have with their partner before tying the knot/moving in/committing to each other for life, etc. What really matters—and what might be totally overrated. Did we have those conversations? Probably not. But we’re sharing what we did discuss, what we totally ignored, and whether it even mattered in the long run!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 7. The Mental Game of Sport with Tessa Virtue

    41:57||Season 13, Ep. 7
    Tessa Virtue skated into the hearts of people around the world when she became the youngest ice dance champion in Olympic history at the 2010 games alongside her on-ice partner, Scott Moir. The winner of three Olympic gold medals — and five Olympic medals in total — she is the most decorated female figure skater in Olympic history AND she knows all about the mental game of sport. Tessa shares what it was like entering a competitive sport at a young age, how her parents supported her, and if she ever wanted to quit (her answer may surprise you). We loved Tessa's insight on competitive sports and the takeaways from her personal experiences. Follow Tessa at https://www.instagram.com/tessavirtue17/.

  • 6. Some People Like To See You Fail

    20:18||Season 13, Ep. 6
    You know those people who are just waiting in the wings, rooting for you to fail? Why do they even care? Trolls—it’s a whole personality. It makes them feel good, like something inside lights up when they do it. They want to be on your page, in your life, and something about you just triggers them. We dive into whether anyone could hurt our feelings—and what they’d actually have to do or say to make that happen!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 5. Parenting Unfiltered: Raising Boys

    38:12||Season 13, Ep. 5
    Raising boys and girls is like raising two completely different species. They’re different to parent, different to be around, yet equally fascinating. In this episode, we explore the stereotypes and doomsday narratives surrounding raising boys—and why they don’t tell the full story. Boys today are often more advanced than we give them credit for, and sometimes even more emotionally in tune than their dads. As moms, one of our biggest jobs is decoding their needs and diving a little deeper into their world.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 4. 7 Non-Negotiable Rules for Marriage

    35:43||Season 13, Ep. 4
    Apparently, there are seven non-negotiable rules for marriage, but do they even hold up? Before diving into the official list, we’re sharing some of our very own “Cat & Nat” non-negotiables—because marriage is all about finding what works for you. Will there be any overlap? Maybe. Will we have a lot to say? Definitely. Like why we think #7 deserves to be #1 and why #5 may have gone just a little too far!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 1. Parenting Unfiltered: Toxic Overachieving with Keren Eldad

    31:20||Season 13, Ep. 1
    Keren Eldad specializes in taking high achievers out of the futility of constant pursuit and into the greatest levels of success and fulfillment. She has coached Olympic athletes, politicians, & Hollywood stars, and global organizations like Estée Lauder and Nike. She’s also the founder of THE CLUB, a community supporting leaders to reach their full potential. In her upcoming book “GILDED: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More”, Keren reveals how the relentless chase for outward success often leads to a spiral of burnout, disillusionment, and a suffocating existence within a “gilded cage” that looks beautiful from the outside but feels like a prison on the inside. There are so many amazing takeaways from this interview. Follow Keren @coachkeren.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
