Catherine Belknap is one half of Cat & Nat — two moms debunking the myth challenging the scripts and giving women the freedom to say what's on their minds. Cat & Nat host the highly ranked Cat & Nat Unfiltered podcast, are public speakers, TV personalities, social media leaders, bestselling authors, and all around hilarious moms who take their humor on tour to help inspire other women to find their true selves. 

Today, Cat and I have a great conversation about how Cat & Nat didn’t set out to become influencers, and why their platform is meant to give others permission to be themselves. We also chat about what Cat’s navigating as a mother, and Cat illustrates the power of showing up in your imperfection from a place of love — and with humor.
