Failure to Launch

Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat ·

2026/01/12

Parenting teens feels like uncharted territory. It doesn’t get easier, it just changes. This might be one of the most challenging phases yet: helping our kids learn how to launch. What used to be a natural progression into independence now feels far less automatic, and more dependent on us. We love that our kids still want to be close, but does that closeness help them grow or quietly hold them back? Will we have to literally push them out of the nest? And how much should they really be sharing with

2025/12/22

In this repeat episode we are bringing you another parenting conundrum: you decide to spend your life with someone… but how much of the really important stuff do you actually talk about first?

Unlocking How Your Kids’ Brain Works

Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat ·

2025/12/15

This is a personal story. Everyone's story is different. This is our story. Kids are masters at being chameleons. They don't want to be different or learn differently. They are very good at hiding their struggles, until one day the wheels come off. Teachers and school systems are not always equipped to fully understand learning disabilities. But you don’t have to rely on the system to teach your child how they learn. Understanding your child’s IEP, their brain, and giving them tools to navigate

Inside Roblox: Why Parents Should Be Paying Attention

Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat ·

2025/12/08

Before we did the research on Roblox, we honestly thought it was just a simple video game. Most parents probably do. But the reality is far more complicated. Roblox is a massive gaming platform with millions of user-created games inside it. Anyone can build a game, and kids can jump in and play — which means there’s essentially no real regulation. And because kids are kids, they don’t always recognize what’s happening. Groomers often pretend to be the same age as the child they’re interacting with,

Doomscrolling and Why We Do It

Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat ·

2025/11/24

We’re talking about doom scrolling — why we do it, why our kids do it, and how it can quietly become the way we mute feelings we don’t want to deal with. Scrolling can make you feel everything, or it can make you feel nothing at all. Either way, it pulls you out of your own life without you even noticing. At some point, your kids will need to study or focus without you taking the phone away from them, and understanding their doom-scrolling habits is important for both you and them.This podcast is

Parenting Boys Through Rejection

Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat ·

2025/11/17

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
