On today's episode, we recap a little about all the sex we were having on vacation (jk!) and chat about advice to our younger selves and to our children. We want them to know that the biggest mistake of all time is equating sex with wanting, desire, attraction, and healthy relationships. We aren't saying that a relationship with intimacy and connection isn't important; however, while on a family vacation, recognize that we are having an intimate connection and family bonding time. Look at the re...

You know we see Dr. Pearlman for all the things so there was no better person to chat with about perimenopause, menopause, hormones, vaginal dryness....you name it...other than the amazingly intelligent Dr. Pearlman herself. Dr. Pearlman is a medical doctor with a focused practice in the area of women’s health and wellness. She is a NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner (NCMP) certified by the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) and spent a decade in practice at the Menopause Clinic at Mount...

When did one person's weight loss become everyone's business? It's putting women in a position where they have to defend themselves. It's not fair. Shouldn't we be saying to Oprah or Kelly Clarkson (or any woman, for that matter) congratulations? Not "What did you do?" or implying that they sold out by taking a drug that is available on the market. We have to take responsibility for how we behave on this topic because our younger generation is watching. We need to work on making it better for th...

Some of us don't remember our first time in great detail (Cat) while some of us can recount it in LOTS of detail (Nat) what their first time was like. This week Nat shares it all with us! We also talk about what might happen if she were to run into her "first" today. Like, would he want to give it another go or no?? Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

In this repeat episode we are bringing you part two of our chat with Oliver and Erinn Hudson of Unconsciously Coupled. This episode was super real and honest!

We are starting to feel the shift, actually living it in real time. Schools are having to roll out wellness programs for high school students because of the pressure they are putting on themselves. Everyone is trying to understand where it's coming from. Where did it start? How did we get here? We are having to undo it all. Academics are going to change. The whole culture will change.

We asked for your bedroom 'icks.' These are really funny and sometimes, really relatable! How many of you tell your partner what your bedroom 'icks' are? Or do you just roll with it?

We love these two so much we had to bring this episode back! We chatted with Erinn and Oliver Hudson of Unconsciously Coupled about so many things including breaking intergenerational trauma, past relationships, sex, infidelity (and how to move beyond it) and so much more that we had to make it a two part series. Erinn and Oliver have been unconsciously coupled for over twenty years and have an amazing podcast that takes an honest and unfiltered look into their relationship. Check out @unconscio...

Nat doesn't shock Cat very often, but she left us with a real zinger last week! In part two this week, we are talking about having someone in your life who isn't bringing you joy and how releasing them can be really hard. Nat released someone from her life and feels lucky that it isn't something she has to deal with anymore. There's nothing there anymore, and that's just fine.

When your kids get older and they are out of the house, and now there is all of this free time, does that mean you have to have day sex? We are so used to finite times for sex. Someone may come home, wake up, or walk in. But what happens when they are out of the house? Is daytime sex more of an expectation or a norm? Do we need to start a hobby? That keeps us out of the house??! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the word "Podcast" to +1 (917) 540-8715 and we'll text you the ...

We've had a lot of conversations about sex but in this repeat episode we've never really talked about it from the perspective of a woman, often it's from that of the man. And that sex is something we "have to do" vs. "want to do". Emily Nagoski joined us to talk about the barriers that prevent people from living with confidence and joy in their bodies. Emily is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestselling Come As You Are and The Come As You Are Workbook , and coauthor, with her sis...

We floated around a few topics today, Nat waiting for Cat to get out the door, Nat back on her meds and feeling slightly numb again, and people taking up space where there could be joy.

We loved this honest conversation with Rachel Wright! It may knock a few of you off your chairs, so listen closely. Rachel and her wife, Ashley, are both currently pregnant, expecting their triad’s first and second children along with their third partner, Yair. Rachel shared how the three of them went about deciding to start a family, how they got pregnant, and how they navigate their triad.

We fell in love with Whitney's relatable attitude and unique style on one of the OG of reality shows, The Hills.

There is a lot of talk about banning cell phones in school. The irony is that everyone is on social media, discussing how they need to be banned. We are kind of crazy like that. Ask educators their thoughts, and they will tell you it's pointless unless parents buy in. Can we go back to the way it was when we were growing up?

We did a deep dive into Nat's new Netflix series about twins, one who lost his memory and the other who took it upon himself to reconstruct it—except the stories he recounted weren't true. They were a million times better than the actual reality. Would you want to know if something terrible happened to you in your past that you could no longer remember?

If you've been here for a while you know that one of our kids has a favourite animal and it's a beaver. We don't really know what the parenting rule is for explaining these types of things but it was time to let them know why "the beaver" is called a beaver. For some help answering that question we had to call a brother for a little insight. You don't want to miss this ending! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

With Mother’s Day around the corner we thought it would be fun to bring back one of your favourite episodes with Spencer and her mom Robyn Barbosa. Spencer is a vibrant, resilient and inspirational young woman that our daughters (and many other young girls!) look up to. She shared her confidence struggles while growing up and how she shifted her mindset from the negativity directed at her. Spencer's main goal in using her social media platforms today is to make other young girls feel confident i...

This week, we discussed our summer hopes and plans. As our kids are getting older, they aren't as carefree. They need to be entertained, and that responsibility falls on us. Unfortunately, it's a situation we created because we are so darn fun to hang out with. But, when one of our kids came to us and said they wanted to go to camp, it triggered some anxiety. It's not that it's better for them to be home; it's really hard to let them go! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the...

We had an amazingly candid conversation with Audrina Patridge to talk all about her book Choices - To The Hills and Back Again. Audrina is baring it all: the nearly soul-crushing struggles, the beauty of finally reclaiming her power, and the incredible experiences and behind-the-scenes details of The Hills. She’s finally sharing her full story for the first time and we are so excited! Find Cho...

Here's the problem with parenting: you never know how badly you've messed up until it's too late. We have great kids, but we can only say "for now." We aren't seeing any red flags, "for now". We've talked to so many people who had teenagers on one trajectory in the early years, only to see it change dramatically. So the verdict is still out when you have seven kids between us. Nat is hoping for one rebel; Cat wants nothing to do with that. Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us t...
