When our kid has a misstep, rebellion, or mistake, it can feel like we as parents have failed them. Similar to muscle growth, our kids need to tear and repair along their life journey to become more emotionally strong and resilient. in this repeat episode with Michelle Icard, author of 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success: What to Do and What to Say to Turn “Failures’ into Character-Building Moments, we learn how to reframe our expectations and help our kids prepare to launch in to the rea...

Nat managed to sneak in a little sexy time at the in-laws which is next-level impressive! Qualifier, this is a repeat episode so it remains to be seen if Nat got some sexy time in on holiday with her family in Costa Rica. The stakes are high, which makes it even more of an accomplishment. This got us thinking: there really should be a point system for sex in unconventional places. How many points do you get for pulling it off at your in-laws? Is it based on proximity to their bedroom? Soundproof...

Many parents find themselves in a pattern; they calmly ask their kids to do something and nothing happens. Then they repeat the ask, repeat it again, with one more reminder and then…the parent blows up. When kids don't listen, parents often feel the need to take back control and you can almost guarantee that you'll enter into a power struggle where no one comes out as the winner. In this repeat episode, you'll learn that misbehaviour is always a symptom of a deeper issue, what causes it, and the...

Cat literally lives in athleisure so it made perfect sense to chat with Denise Lee, entrepreneur and founder of Alala, a self-funded multi-million dollar apparel brand that not only brings joy to women through sophisticated, high quality clothing, but also seeks to advance dialogue around body positivity and diversity. Denise left her family and moved halfway around the world, from Singapore to New York by herself to pursue her ambitions of turning her dreams into reality. Denise chats about the...

The holiday season is here, and with it comes those never-ending wish lists from our kids, even though half of it will be forgotten by February. If we quizzed them on what they got last year, they’d probably fail. And that’s our parenting conundrum this week: how do you manage the chaos of over-the-top holiday requests? We’re also tackling the bigger parenting struggle—the push and pull of wanting your kids to be their absolute best without pushing them so far that they end up resenting you. Do ...

We had so much fun talking with Kim and Penn that we had to bring it to you in two parts! In this repeat episode we chatted about living with ADHD as an adult, what content creation might look like in the future and more! If you don't know The Holderness Family, their videos have resulted in over a billion views and over 7.5 million followers across their social media platforms since they (accidentally) went viral in 2013 with their Christmas Jammies video. They have a best-selling book on marri...

We’re talking about holding space for the “ugly” days—the ones where life just feels messy and whether we do the exact same thing as the day before, it's just one of those days. And if we need space for having an ugly day, so do our kids. Let's normalize the fact that you don't have to love everything, every single day. We need to stop fighting this feeling, there is always tomorrow or this afternoon. It's ok if it doesn't change. You can have bad days. And so can your kids. Want our podcasts se...

We are bringing you another parenting conundrum; you decide to spend your life with someone, but how much do you actually talk about the important stuff first? Parenting styles? Conflict management? The tricky stuff like how you’ll handle your child’s sexual orientation or dating rules for your teens? Most couples don’t even scratch the surface before walking down the aisle. We definitely did not! Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the word "Podcast" to +1 (917) 540-8715 and ...

This week we’re talking about everything from the bedroom to the big screen. First up, Viagra—why do men have an instant fix with that little blue pill, but women are still waiting for something to help with their libido? We're also breaking down the empty nester myth: do couples really heat things up once the kids are gone, or is it just wishful thinking? And finally, holiday movies— is it just us, or are they getting naughtier? DM us if you have insight into the empty nester myth because we wa...

This week, we’re doing a deep-dive into Nat’s true crime obsession because apparently murder mysteries are her happy place. We went down a rabbit hole with Wade Wilson—how are people finding him sexy? Is it the bad-boy charm, or are we all just a little unhinged? One of us is struggling to understand the appeal. It's all a little twisted yet it somehow brings a smile to Nat's face. Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us the word "Podcast" to +1 (917) 540-8715 and we'll text you t...

While many of you are diving into Thanksgiving leftovers and Black Friday deals, we’re throwing it back to one of your favourite episodes! Nat thinks she has lost her sexual spark.

We are recapping our incredible night at the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto! While we didn’t get swept up in the ticket madness (and let’s be real, it was total chaos), we were lucky enough to go thanks to a last-minute partnership and it was EVERYTHING. Getting to bring our girls to witness an incredible female artist dominate the stage for three hours straight was nothing short of inspiring. Taylor’s energy, talent, and the pure magic was amazing. The memories we left with will last us a life...

Every child starts out as a people pleaser. Every single one of them just wants to make you happy—remember that. But it’s not their job to carry the weight of your feelings.

Plus, Cat shares a must-read book by one of our fave parenting experts, Dr. Tracy Dalgleish. Honestly, it might be time to bring her back for a part two! https://www.drtracyd.co...

Every girl needs to watch Martha Stewart’s documentary. Martha is the ultimate feminist icon—a woman who did it all and didn’t hold back. A man would’ve been praised for her achievements, but Martha was called a b!tch for being straightforward and unapologetic. No dad is called non paternal because he doesn't stay home and take care of his kids, why do we do that to our moms? And she faced prison head-on and came back stronger…and with a new BFF!

This week, we dove into the powerhouse that is the next generation of girls. Whether it’s the aftermath of Covid shaping their resilience or just the evolution of life, we’ve noticed a shift: we’re seeing young girls who are bold, fierce, and unapologetically themselves. They speak up, stand their ground, and refuse to back down—even when they’re stubborn just to prove a point. It’s inspiring, it’s game-changing, and it’s redefining what the future looks like for girls everywhere! Want our podca...

This week Nat explains how not one but two people broke down in tears right in front of her and while we both understand that emotions can run high, we all know that Nat's not exactly the "let's hug it out" type and clearly after listening today, she's definitely also not the shoulder to cry on type.
