SUMMER 2025 RERUNS

We are officially at the half way point of our summer and bringing you another one of your favourite episodes! Every day, there’s another headline about kids and phones — how screen time is hurting their mental health, their ability to focus, and even how we parent. There’s clearly a problem. But we’re on our phones too. And sometimes handing over a screen is the only way to get through dinner, a grocery run, or just one quiet moment. We’re not proud of it, but it’s the reality for so many of us. We’re parenting through something we never dealt with as kids, with no guide and a whole lot of guilt. Will the next generation of parents, armed with all this research and hindsight, do things differently?

With the new Happy Gilmore movie making waves, we knew this was the perfect time to bring this episode back! We’re throwing it back to our hilarious convo with one of the funniest moms we know and love, Julie Bowen—aka Claire Dunphy from Modern Family. Julie is a two-time Emmy winner, made two iconic appearances in Happy Gilmore, and has been busy ever since: starring in Mixtape and Hubie Halloween, Totally Killer, The Fallout, voicing Disney characters, directing, launching a tween boy skincare line (JB SKRUB), sitting on the board of Baby2Baby, and raising three teenage boys. No big deal. This chat might’ve even earned us a little street cred with our kids. Check out more from Julie on IG at @itsjuliebowen.

We’re talking about the wild ride of getting your kid ready for university—the pressure, the questions, the panic, the prep. Are they really supposed to already know what they want to do with the rest of their lives? Because it sure feels like some of those kids have it all figured out. And then there’s the idea that you should land a job you’re passionate about the second you graduate. We might have an unpopular opinion on that one. Take a listen and let us know what you think!

In today’s repeat episode, we talk about the pressure cooker that comes with Grade 11 decision-making. Are teens really supposed to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives before they’ve even finished high school? Apparently. Because here in Canada, what you choose now dictates what courses you take, and that dictates what doors stay open—or close. Kids are feeling the weight of “figuring it all out” way too soon.

You know we had to talk about the Coldplay kiss cam moment that had everyone talking, watching, sharing, forwarding and gossiping about. These days, your whole life can literally implode in under five seconds—even if you didn’t post a single thing yourself. When did the wife find out? Did she get a million texts that night? Honestly, it makes us feel nauseous. Their scandal has become the internet’s entertainment. And while it’s messy, it’s also a good teaching moment for our kids: nothing is private anymore. We want you to weigh in, what is the fascination all about?

This episode goes in a few different directions—in true Cat & Nat fashion. We chat about the latest in pop culture, a post we shared that sparked some unexpected clap back (and what we really think about her comment), and a lot more in between. Plus, we ask the important question: would Jon Hamm be a good match for Nat? Truly a little bit of everything this Tuesday!

Raising boys and girls can feel like parenting two entirely different species. The experience is different, the energy is different—and both come with their own unique challenges and rewards. In this episode, we unpack some of the common stereotypes and doomsday narratives about raising boys—and why those stories miss the mark. Boys today are often more emotionally aware than we give them credit for, sometimes even more in tune than their dads. As moms, one of our most important roles is learning how to really see them, understand what they need, and meet them where they are.

In this repeat favourite, we’re diving into all the things you didn’t know you needed to talk about—like peeing in the shower. Is it gross? Is it a genius timesaver? We’ve got thoughts. And we’re also getting into the big question: when your kid heads off to university, what do you actually do with their room? Keep it like a shrine or let a younger sibling swoop in with a full-on makeover?

We pulled off two birthday parties in a week for our girls and were kind of surprised it all came together. Let's just say, thank goodness for Amazon. If we had to run around a store these parties would still be on a Pinterest board. But when it’s delivered to your door, suddenly we’re expert planners with themed floaties and twinkling lights!
