What Makes Our Kids Tick?

Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat ·

2026/01/20

Teens start to sail away. One minute they’re cuddly, the next they’re distant, and the easy check-ins are gone. Now the challenge is unlocking that connection. Sometimes it’s a car ride, sometimes it’s shoveling snow together. It’s not about rules or routines anymore, it’s about us showing up and connecting on a deeper level. Hosted on Acast.

Parenting Is Not for the Weak

Parenting Teens Unfiltered with Cat & Nat ·

2026/01/19

What defines good parenting and how do you know if you’re doing it right? In the first ten years, we felt like we were exceeding expectations—an A+—even though it was physically and mentally exhausting. There were routines and the satisfaction of giving kids structure. Parenting changes as they get older. Now, it’s about sharing the role, letting them make their own decisions, and shifting into more of a coaching mindset. Parenting is the ultimate freight train ride.This podcast is presented by The

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

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? Parenting styles? How you handle conflict? The tricky stuff—like your kid’s sexual orientation or dating rules for your teens? Most couples barely scratch the surface before walking down the aisle.

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

We had to talk about the big thing this week that’s so disturbing — the creepiness of Grok. Who programmed this thing??

We have been touring universites and wow - these kids are putting so much pressure on themselves to figure it all out. Our advice is start early. Exploring options sooner helps to take the weight off and make the decision process simpler in Grade 12/seniour year. Remind kids that their first choice might not be their forever choice. With the right guidance, they can always change direction. Sometimes just knowing it’s not forever makes the whole journey so much easier.This podcast is presented by
